Trier Coat of Arms

Shield Gules, a saint statant, nimbed and dressed Or, holding a key Or in pale by his dexter hand and a book Gules by his sinister arm.
Meaning:
Trier was already an important city in the Roman times and the seat of a bishop in the early Middle Ages. The oldest city seal, dated from 1113 with a reprint from 1537 displayed between city walls Jesus Christ between St. Peter and St. Eucharius. The former is the local patron saint of the namesake archbishopric. The latter had been its first bishop. In base there had been four citzens, symbolising an association based on an oath. A secret seal from the 14th century displayed St. Peter alone, kneeling and holding his attribute, the key. Since the 15th century the saint is standing. According to Klemens Stadler the old city arms had been simply those of the archbishopric, i.e. a white shield parted by a red cross. Arms with St. Peter existed at least since 1605 and the ay out changed varius times. To the arms two lions were added as supporters in 1337. Only in the last century the arms were replaced by the figure of St. Peter taken from the seals.

The golden banner is traditional and was first mentioned in 1460. Images of that version exist since 1480. The arms are also traditional.
