The use of the keys stems from the early 14th century, when a civic seal of lay judges first depicted this element. The red and silver colors (red field and silver keys) are the traditional tinctures associated with Trier's arms, adopted by Wittlich to represent its historical connection to the Archbishopric.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003ch3\u003eHistorical Context\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe keys have been a part of the city's representation since the early 14th century, serving as the basis for the present coat of arms.
