KEHLEN
Official blazon
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on November 21, 1983.
Kehlen was until 1793 a possession of Luxembourg and the local authority was placed in hands of the Prevost of Luxembourg. The arms therof where the arms of Luzembourg, with on both sides of the lion a small castle. The background of the arms is taken from the arms of Luxembourg.
The lion is not the lion of Luxembourg, but the lion of the d'Ansembourg family, who ruled over Keispelt and Meispelt, two villages in the municipality. The crosier, finally, represents the abbey of St. Maximin de Treves, that owned part of the area and founded a religious center in the municipality.
