Shield quartered of Azure and Argent a tankard and an orle in counterchanged tinctures, orle charged with four discs in double-counterchanged tinctures
Meaning:
The arms are stressing the importance of pottery for the local economy and like the city arms probably are also based on a local guild seal from the 17th of the potters. The quartered pattern is symbolising the three municipalities and the name giving city.

Shield Vert a tankard Or flanked by two smaller tankards; mantled, at sinister Gules a lion rampant guardant Or armed and tongued Azure, at sinister Argent parted by a cross Gules.
Meaning:
Together with the Lordship of Vallendar the village was acquired by Count Heinrich III of Sayn. The counts since 1363 pawned parts of the lordship various times to the Archbishopric of Trier, which gained complete sovereignty in 1767. The lion is representing the counts, the cross the archbishops. The tankards are stressing the importance of pottery for the local economy.

Shield Argent three Frankfurt tankards Azure ordered 2:1.
Meaning:
The city is seat of the namesake associated municipality. The arms are based on a local guild seal from the 17th of the potters, who made among others tankards to contain cider. That seal was adopted without approval in 1936. It displayed only one tankard and besides the badge of the guild also reminders on former local rulers as follows: a cross representing the Archbishopric of Trier, a fess representing the Lords of Isenburg-Grenzau, a peacock representing the Principality of Wied-Neuwied and a lion guardant representing the County of Sayn. The current pattern was introduced in 1950. Each tankard is representing one of the municipalities, which formed the city established in 1936. Those municipalities had been Höhr, Grenzhausen and Grenzau. The new arms are also stressing the importance of pottery for the local economy.
