Coat of Arms of the City of Waldbröl
The two main motifs of the coat of arms refer to the components of the city's name: The black oak tree with green leaves and green fruits represents the forest and thus the first syllable of the name.
The silver river band visible below in the green field symbolizes the Bröl and thus the second part of the name.
The small shield attached under the right branch of the tree contains an inverted blue plowshare as a reference to the community's former structure shaped by agriculture.
The left small shield refers to the old affiliation with the Duchy of Berg with the red crowned and double-tailed lion.
