Tholey Municipal Coat of Arms

Issuant from base a mount Gules, charged with two keys Argent in saltire and topped by a castle Or, with port and windows Sable and two embattled towers, issuant between the towers a crozier Or, in dexter chief an impending Greek cross Or, in sinister chief an impending wolf trap Or.
Meaning:
Castle, crozier and mount are representing Tholey proper, in the old arms however displayed in dofferent tinctures. The crozier also appears in the arms of the incorporated villages of Bergweiler, Lindscheid, Neipel, Scheueren and Überroth-Niederhofen. It is referring to the Benedictine Abbey of Tholey. The castle is a representation of the Schaumburg castle on a mountain above the municipality. The crossed keys are taken from the arms of Theley. The wolf trap appears in the arms of Hasborn-Dautweiler and Überroth-Niederhofen. The cross is probably referring to the Archbishops of Trier, the former co-rulers.

Theley Village Coat of Arms

Shield Gules two keys Argent in saltire with key bits pointing to base.
Meaning:
The village had been a condominium of the Archbishopric of Trier and the Duchy of Lothringen, which was replaced by France in 1766. Both had a common high court. Prints of its seals since 1783 displayed the crossed keys in Petra Sancta Code, but with the bits pointing to chief and within a rococo shield, i.e. probably with rocaille ornaments. The keys are attributes of St. Peter, patron saint of the archbishopric.
