coat of arms

Coat of arms of Föhren
 Blazon : “Shield with a curved, lowered golden tip, inside a red furnace with a silver furnace hole, split; in front a golden book in blue, covered with a black high cross, behind in silver a red dragon. "
Justification for the coat of arms: The golden book is an attribute of the local church patron St. Bartholomäus . It is handed down in a “Sigill Paroche Eccl. S. Bartholomäi ”(printed in 1787 in the Trier diocese archive). The red dragon is the family coat of arms of the imperial counts of Kesselstatt , who were local lords of Föhren from 1446 until the Napoleonic period as feudal people of the Electors of Trier . The kiln is a speaking sign ; the place name "Föhren" derives from the Roman expression "Furnus" = kiln (for pottery) or melting furnace (for turf ore or copper).
