Origin/meaning

Leutesdorf received city rights from the Archbishop of Trier in 1332. The oldest known seal of the city dates from the 15th century and already shows St. Lawrence, the patron saint of the city. Even though the colours have changed during the centuries, the arms itself never changed.
