The pentagram is taken from the arms of the the former Schönecken subcounty (German: Amt), which had already been used on a local council seal from 1388. The crosses are taken from the arms of the Schönberg Estate.

Shield parted per bend semi-potenty, above left Gules a bell Or, beneath right Argent an oak leaf Vert in bend, chief Argent charged with a sinister pointing sword Argent hilted Sable.
Meaning:
The line of partition is symbolising the close connection between the settlement cores of Habscheid and Hollnich. The tinctures red and white are those of the Archbishopric of Trier, the former local ruler. The bell is a representation of the local church. The golden colour of the bell was produced, because a Countess of Hofwald threw a few golden coins into the melting pott. The leaf is representing the Hofwald, a local grove. The sword is an attribute of St. Lucia, the local patron saint.

Shield Gules on mount Vert a Paschal Lamb passant Argent nimbed Or.
Meaning:
Prüm had been the capital of the territory of the namesake princely abbey and was often called a city until the 18th centrury, gained however the de jure status of a city not before 1856. Seals of the Free Territory of Prüm existed since 1596, dsiplaying a shield parted by a bar charged with a rose. In the upper half had been a Paschal lamb couchant, in the lower half sometimes there were floral ornaments. Since the 18th century the city used arms with the lamb couchant on top of a book. The current pattern was introduced in the 20th century. It was also displayed on local stamps from 1900.
