Shield parted per pale, at dexter Argent parted by a cross Sable, at sinister Sable two keys Or in saltire, chief Or charged with a coronet Azure, orle off centred quartered of Argent of Gules.
Meaning:
The arms are basically those of the namesake city. The chief is alluding to the king´s chair (German: Königsstuhl), a meeting place, where German kings had been chosen by the electors. The orle is in Rheinland-Pfalz nearly always a symbol of an associated municipality. The quarters are a representation of the four municipalities of the former associated municipality, which was dissolved in 2014.

Meaning:
The castle is a representation of the local Thurandt Castle. Duke Heinrich V, a member of the Welfen kin had also been Palatine Count of Rhine between 1195 and 1212. He built the castle around 1200. Afterwards a war between the Palatine counts and the two neighbouring archbishoprics broke out. The castle was besieged and finally in 1248 ceded to the united troops of the archbishoprics. The base displays the tinctures of the Palatine arms, the dexter inescutcheon displays the arms of the Archbishopric of Trier, the sinister one those of the Archbishopric of Köln. The municipality remained a condominion of both archbishoprics until the end of the 18th century, represented by the two inescutcheons.
