Origin/meaning: The arms were granted on February 9, 1984.

Historically the municipality of Reisdorf belonged to the Abbey of Echternach and the Estate of Diekirch. The arms of Diekirch showed 10 bars, gold and blue. These were taken in the arms of Reisdorf, and shown as waves to symbolise the rivers Sûre, Our and Enz Blanche. The cross is derived from the arms of the Abbey of Echternach.
