Remagen had been already a Free Imperial City, when the 1st city seal was made. The city was fortified after 1357, lost its city status but regained it in 1857. The arms are based on the oldest city seal. Its existence is proven since 1221. It had been the model for smaller court seals from the 14th century. After 1253 a tree and two roses were added under the arches. The meaning of the crowned wolf is unknown.

Flag and banner were confirmed on 27 February 1970, but a probably plain version was in use before 1966. The current version of the arms is in use since around 1925.
