Meaning:
The oldest local seal of Trarbach was mentioned in 1255, a fragment from 1285 is preserved. The seal displayed a defence tower on a chequered background. The 2nd seal from around 1354 displayed additional waves, representing the Mosel River, a key at dexter and a hand holding a parchment at sinister. The latter may illustrate the privilege of city rights. The seal of the city court from the 18th century displayed the same pattern. In the 19th century Trarbach and Traben had different arms. Both had the red-white chequered background of the Farther County of Sponheim. The former displayed the tower, the latter a horse passant, also called a trotting (German: trabend) horse, which is thus punning. Trarbach regained city rights in 1856 and was united with Traben in 1904. In 1951 both arms were combined.
