Blazon : “In a shield border divided by red and silver ; divided, above in silver two crossed red arrows with blue tips, accompanied by six (1: 2: 2: 1) blue balls, below red-gold roughened. "

The upper part commemorates the earlier affiliation of the city of Bad Breisig and the communities Brohl-Lützing and Gönnersdorf to the Breisig rule (Breisiger Ländchen), which belonged to the Essen monastery since the Middle Ages . The coat of arms of the Breisig rule showed two crossed hunting arrows in red with silver tips, flanked by six balls in blue on a silver background. The six spheres stood for the six localities that belonged to it at the time, the hunting arrows indicate the hunting rights in the “princely eating high forest”. The diamonds in the lower part of the shield are taken from the coat of arms of the burgraves of Rheineck . The burgraves temporarily exercise bailiwick rights in the Breisig rule. The red and white border symbolizes the association as such.
