Coat of Arms

Shield Gules, an embattled watch tower Argent, masoned Sable, with port Or and roof Azure, the latter crowned by a golden ball, in tower a rectangle Gules charged with two lions passant guardant Or armed Azure and set in pale.
Meaning:
All seals of the city, the oldest dating from the 14th century, show a watch-tower. Although shape and size of the tower changed through the centuries. The two lions are the lions of the Counts of Diez, who owned the city in the 13th century. Camberg gained city rights in 1281 and 1365. The title "Bad" (= spa) was added in 1981.
The arms were officially approved in 1907.
