Shield Argent parted by a centred cross Gules, superimposing two croziers Sable in saltire, on heart point a spindel Argent.
Meaning:
The villages of Mülheim and Kärlich were forced to merge in 1969. City rights were granted to the new entity on 21 June 1996. The red cross of the Archbishopric of Trier had been part of both former municipal arms, as the area historically belonged to the archbishopric. The spindle (German: Mühleisen) is taken from the former arms of Mülheim, where it had been a canting element in black colour on the canton, referring to the numerous local mills. The croziers are taken from the former arms of Kärlich, as the archbishops used to reside in the former local castle.
