Güls belonged historically to the [[Trier (State)|State of Trier]], and the Bishops of Trier had given it in loan to the St. Servatius Abbey in Maastricht (now in the Netherlands). The oldest and only seal of the town dates from 1294 and shows the bust of a saint, holding a key. Both St. Peter, the patron saint of Trier, and St. Servatius use a key as their symbol. The key, nor the cross of the [[Trier (State)|State of Trier]] was added to the arms, when the council applied for arms in the 1930s. | Güls belonged historically to the [[Trier (State)|State of Trier]], and the Bishops of Trier had given it in loan to the St. Servatius Abbey in Maastricht (now in the Netherlands).
