Origin/meaning
The arms were granted in 1895.
The arms date already from 1344, the colours are known since 1483. Only once, around 1500, different arms were shown. The town became a city in the early 13th century. The oldest seals showed the St. Mary sitting on a throne. This was replaced in 1344 by the present arms. The cross is the cross of the State of Köln, in which Andernach was situated. The keys are obviously the symbol of St. Peter, but the origins are not known. It may be that they are derived from the arms of the diocese of Trier. Although the town was in the State of Köln, the church of the city belonged to the diocese of Trier. St. Peter is the patron saint of both Trier and Köln.
