Summary

Description
English: Mayen got city rights in 1291, and the oldest seal of the city dates from the same year. It shows a castle below two crossed keys. The keys symbolise the fact that the city belonged to the State of Trier. The patron saint of Trier is St. Peter, whose symbol is a key or, as it is often displayed, two crossed keys. Later seals show the same composition. The first seal showing a different composition dates from 1429, and shows a cross, with in each corner a key. The present arms are based on this seal. The trees are so-called May-trees (or freedom-trees), which are a canting symbol (Mai-baum, or Maie).
Deutsch: Das Wappen der Stadt Mayen stellt das rote kurtrierische Kreuz mit Mittelrippe auf weißem oder silbernem Grund dar. In den durch das Kreuz gebildeten Feldern befindet sich im linken oberen und rechten unteren Feld je ein roter Schlüssel; der Schlüsselbart steht oben und weist nach rechts. In den beiden übrigen Feldern ist je ein grüner Baum (Maibaum-Buche) abgebildet.
