Manternach

Heraldry of the World Civic heraldry of Luxembourg

MANTERNACH

Origin/meaning :
The arms were granted on December 19, 1983.

The old village of Manternach was historically owned by two related families, the Lords of Berbourg and the Lellig family. Both used a similar cross, the first one a red cross on a golden field, the latter a silver cross on a blue field. It was thus easy to combine these arms to new arms of the municipality.
