Shield parted per bend sinister, above right Azure a bell Or, beneath left Argent a 5-spokes wheel Gules, base Vert a hunting horn Or.
Meaning:
Bescheid was first mentioned in 973, when Archbishop Theoderich of Trier donated the local tithe to the Monastery of St. Mary of the Martyrs in Trier. Wheel and bell are alluding to an urban legend as follows: "On the Mehringer Berg, a hill, had been a church, whichwas destroyed. Its bell remained undmaged and the people of the surrounding villages struggled, which one should get the bell. An agreement was made, that the bell should be put onto a waggon, pulled by a blind horse. The horse brought the bell to Bescheid." The legend may refer to the time of Norman raids. The tinctures of the wheel are those of the Archbishopric of Trier. The horn in base is an attribute of St. Hubert, one of the two local patron saints.
