STADTBREDIMUS
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on October 5, 1988.
The main division of the shield is taken from the arms of the Lords and Estate of Wiltz, gold with a chief of red. Stadtbredimus belonged to Wiltz from the beginning of the 16th century. The red chief also symbolises the Prüm abbey (now in Germany), which also used a red shield with a Paschal Lamb.
The grape vines in the upper part indicate the importance of viticulture in and near the town.<
The locks in the lower part symbolise the locks in the Moselle river near the town.
