Shield Argent parted by a pall reversed wavy Azure, above right an anchor Gules, above left a heraldic rose Gules seeded Or and barbed Vert.
Meaning:
Konz gained city rights in 1950. The village belonged to the Archbishopric of Trier and had been rather unimportant until 1860, when it became a railway junction. In the 20th century it also became a mooring place at the banks of the canalised Mosel River. The blue pall is symbolising the confluence of Mosel and Saar. The anchor is an attribute of St. Nicolas, the local patron saint and is also symbolising shipping. The rose is taken from a seal of the Priors of the karthaus Monastery. Its church had been later the parish church of Sankt Johann. Konz is seat of the namesake associated municipality.
