Shield barry of eleven of Azure and Argent, over all a Roman rowing ship Or, chief Argent parted by a cross Gules with three heraldic roses Or on the horizontal crossbar.
Meaning:
The red cross is taken from the arms of the Archbishopric of Trier, local ruler until the end of the 18th century. The roses are reminding on the Benedictien Tholey Abbey, Germanys oldest monastery. The abbey owned a vinery in Dhron. The ship is alluding to the Roman origin of both villages. It is a representation of a monument of stone, the so called "Roman wine ship", which is displayed in a museum in Trier. Nowaday you can row on the Mosel River in a wooden replica of that ship, the "STELLA NOVIOMAGI" (star of Neumagen). The barry shield is taken from the arms of the Barons of Neumagen, who ruled Neumagen as reeves of the abbey. The kin died out around 1320.

Shield lozengy of Argent and Azure, on dexter chiefpoint an inescutcheon Argent charged with a lion rampant Azure armed and tongued Gules.
Meaning:
The arms show the lion of the Counts of Veldenz without crown on the lozengy arms of the Wittelsbach family. The counts founded a castle in Emichonen in 1115 and named themselves by the area (Von Veldenz). The town became a city in 1286 by a grant of King Rudolf I of Habsburg. The counts ruled until 1444, when the county was incorporated into the Principality of Pfalz-Zweibrücken. From 1543 until 1694 a branch of the Wittelsbach family , who ruled the Palatine Electorate since the 13th century, named themselves by Veldenz. Consequently the Wittelsbach arms were incorporated into the municipal arms. The colours of the claws and tongue of the lion changed several times.

Shield parted per pale, at dexter Gules two keys Or in saltire, at sinister Argent parted by a cross Sable.
Meaning:
The current pattern already appeared on a local seal of lay judges from the end of the 14th century in a triangular shield. Both fields are alluding to the Archbishopric of Köln, to which the village historically belonged. The sinister half displays the arms of the archbishopric, the dexter half the attributes of St. Peter, patron saint of the archbishopric. The same pattern was displayed in an oval shield on a seal from the 17th century.
