The arms show the symbols of the local patron saint of the city since the 9th century, St. Quirinus. Quirinus was a martyr and in 875 his relics were transfered to the abbey in Malmedy. According to legend he killed a dragon, hence the dragon on the arms. The mitre, sword and crosier are the symbols of the Malmedy Abbey in which his relics are kept. | The arms show the symbols of the local patron saint of the city since the 9th century, St. Quirinus.
