coat of arms

Blazon : "Divided by silver and red obliquely on the left, in front a rising bend, behind a silver lily."

Founding of the coat of arms: The previously independent municipalities of Beuren and Prosterath were merged into one municipality through the administrative reform in 1974. For the former community of Prosterath, the lily, the attribute of St. Antony, taken. It stands in the new coat of arms for Beuren in the back field. The former municipality of Beuren is mentioned in a document in 1255. The document confirms that Beuren belonged to St. Paulin Abbey in Trier during the reign of Archbishop Theoderich II (1212–1242). The front coat of arms indicates this affiliation. It shows a rising curvature in the Electoral Trier colors of red and silver. The abbot's staff is a symbol of belonging to the Electorate of Trier St. Paulin. The creation of the coat of arms goes back to a design by Pastor P. Schwarz, Beuren, and a proposal by the State Archives. Here the ideal form of the formation of a coat of arms has succeeded, since it has only one metal (silver) and only one color (red). A requirement that has been striven for in heraldry again and again, but only rarely achieved.
