[[ | ===Origin/meaning=== | ||
Wittlich received city rights in 1291 and belonged until 1794 to the [[Trier (State)|State of Trier]]. | |||
A key placed bendwise appears for the first time on a small seal of the city dating from the early 14<sup>th</sup> century. The design was not changed until the French occupation. During the French occupation, the seal showed the French eagle. Between +/- 1810 and 1815 the seals of the city showed the German eagle. From +/- 1820 the city seals and arms showed two keys, either partly crossing or separately. The keys were now placed vertically. These arms have remained in use. | |||
The original colours are silver and red, the colours of the State of Trier. In the 19<sup>th</sup> century also the blue and silver of the Wittelsbach family appears, as the city then belonged to the Pfalz (the Wittelsbach family were Princes of the Pfalz). In the early 20<sup>th</sup> century the old arms were restored.<br/> | |||
The keys are the symbol of St. Peter, patron saint of Trier. | The keys are the symbol of St. Peter, patron saint of Trier. | ||
