Wittlich received city rights in 1291 and belonged until 1794 to the [[Trier (State)|State of Trier]]. The arms appear for the first time on a small seal of the city dating from the early 14<sup>th</sup> century. The arms were not changed until the 19<sup>th</sup> century, when the keys are often shown crosswise. The original colours are silver and red, the colours of the State of Trier. In the 19<sup>th</sup> century also the blue and silver of the Wittelsbach family appears, as the city then belonged to the Pfalz (the Wittelsbach family were Princes of the Pfalz). In the early 20<sup>th</sup> century the old arms were restored.<br/> | Wittlich received city rights in 1291 and belonged until 1794 to the [[Trier (State)|State of Trier]].
