Shield and chief parted per fess of Argent and Gules, at dexter a cross issuant Gules ending at its top in a bow, at sinister a mallet and a chisel Argent in saltire, chief parted by a fess embattled in counterchanged tinctures.
Meaning:
The chief is symbolising Ramstein Castle, a possession of the Archbishopric of Trier. The red and silver are the tinctures of the archbishopric. The below the dexter half shows the village sign, a local symbol seen on border stones in the municipality. It is probably derived from a combination of a crozier and a cross. The other half refers to the former importance of sandstone mining and masonry in the municipality.

The others, which had been Edingen, Godendorf, Ralingen and Wintersdorf, belonged to the Grandduchy of Luxembourg, rapresented by the barry shield with lion.

Shield Gules, on base Azure a walled castle Argent with towers having roofs Azure, on sinister chief an inescutcheon Argent parted by a cross Gules.
Meaning:
Welschbillig gained city rights in 1291 together with Saarburg, granted by the Archbishopric of Trier. The first city seal, proven by a print from 1364, already displayed the detiled image of the moated castle of the archbishops, which had been built during the 2nd half of the 13th century. The blue base is symbolising the moat of the castle. The inescutcheon displays the arms of the archbishopric. The pattern remained the same on the 2nd city seal from the 15th century and also after the archbishopric had been secularised by Emperor Napoleon I of France and the status of a city got lost.

Shield and chief parted per fess of Argent and Gules, at dexter a two oak leaves Vert each one with an acorn Gules, at sinister a grindwheel Argent, chief parted by a fess embattled in counterchanged tinctures.
Meaning:
The chief is symbolising a long Roman defense wall from the 2nd century AD, that ran through the area of what is now the municipality. The oak branches are symbolising to the local Meulenwald forest. The grindwheel is alluding of local sandstone mining and processing, which had been of great importance for the village for several centuries. Millstones and grindwheels were typical products.
