The arms are based on the oldest known seal of Neuerburg, which received city rights in 1332. The seal dates from the same time and shows a canting tower (Burg) and symbolises the former fortifications of the city. The right half shows the arms of the Lords of Neuerburg-Vianden, who ruled the city in the 14<sup>th</sup> century. As there were no historical colours known for the left half, the colours were chosen arbitrarily in the 19<sup>th</sup> century. | The arms are based on the oldest known seal of Neuerburg, which received city rights in 1332.
