Shield Or fretty Gules.
Meaning:
The village developed under the namesake castle of the Barons of Daun, who granted successively city rights between 1337 and 1340. It was later downgraded to a market town, until it regained city rights in 1951. A local seal of lay judges from 1557 only displayed the cross of the Archbishopric of Trier, which ruled the area. The archbishopric gained the castle in 1354 and in 1667 the whole Lordship of Daun as an imperial fiefdom. Later seals displayed an additional tower in a central inescutcheon, symbolising the local fortress, which had been seat of a district (German: Amt) of the archbishopric until the French occupation in 1794. The fretty shield of the barons was displayed on later seals.
