Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on May 6, 1971.

The arms are based on the oldest seal of the village Brenig, which dates from the 13^th century. It showed the arms of the Lords of Bornheim, from which the bar in the present arms is derived. The sword was added as a symbol of St. Michael, the patron saint of the village of Waldorf. His image was seen on the seals of Waldorf since the 14^th century.
