[[File:mayen.jpg|center|Wappen von {{PAGENAME}}]]
===Origin/meaning===
Mayen got city rights in 1291, and the oldest seal of the city dates from the same year. It shows a castle below two crossed keys. The keys symbolise the fact that the city belonged to the [[Trier (State)|State of Trier]]. The patron saint of [[Trier]] is St. Peter, whose symbol is a key or, as it is often displayed, two crossed keys. Later seals show the same composition.


====Official blazon====
The first seal showing a different composition dates from 1429, and shows a cross, with in each corner a key. The present arms are based on this seal. The trees are so-called May-trees (or freedom-trees), which are a canting symbol (Mai-baum, or Maie).
