The Coat of Arms of Brand is divided horizontally and shows in its upper section the horn of Pope Cornelius, a symbol of the areas previous affiliation to the Kornelimünster Abbey.
In the lower part is a burning set of three hills (a somewhat common heraldic device).
This symbolizes the three districts of Brand, which are Freund, Brand and Niederforstbach, and which each lie on a small hill.
The fire stands for the district’s name Brand, which means “fire”.
The reason that the area is called this, however, is etymologically unclear.

Symbols for the district include the Brand Bull, which is commemorated by a bronze statue at the center of Brand.
It likely stems from the town’s association with the horn of Pope Cornelius on the coat of arms, and is meant to symbolize residents’ obstinacy.
