Shield Argent parted by a centred cross Gules, on 1st quarter a demi-eagle Sable couped per pale.
Meaning:
Wellmich had been under direct imperial rule until the late 14th century, when it was acquired by the Archbishopric of Trier, symbolised by the red cross. The combination of the imperial eagle and the cross of the archbishopric is known by local seals between the 15th and 17th century. The size and position of the eagle, however, has changed various times during the centuries. He was often displayed completely. Only a demi-eagle was used between 1633 and 1810. The current combination is used on arms since the 19th century. Since 1356 the village was awhile considered to be a city.
