Origin/meaningThe arms were officially granted on June 12, 1970. Villmar received city rights in 1316 from the Archbishops of Trier, but the town never developed into a real city. The arms show the cross of Trier and an escutcheon with the symbols of St. Peter (key) and St. Matthew (axe). St. Peter is the patron saint of Trier, St. Matthew of the St. Matthew Abbey in Trier, who actually ruled the town. The arms are derived from the 16th century seal, which showed the same arms. From 1641 onwards, the cross of Trier was removed from the local seals. The present arms are in use since the end of the last century.
Literature: Stadler, 1964-1971, 8 volumes. |
