The arrows are symbolising hunting. The lower half displays the arms of the Burgraves of Rheineck, who had been reeves of the lordship.

Shield parted per pale, at dexter Vert a fountain with bowl Gules spitting water Argent, at sinister Argent two arrows Gules in saltire with arrowheads Argent and surrounded by six balls Azure ordred 1:2:2:1.
Meaning:
Bad Breisig is seat of the namesake associated municipality. Since 1747 the country around Breisig had been a condominion of the Dukes of Jülich and the Essen Imperial Nunnery, until it was occupied by France in 1798. The upper half of the arms is a differentiation of the arms of the Lordship of Breisig, to which also Brohl-Lützing and Gönnersdorf belonged. The lordship belonged to the Essen Imperial Abbey, a nunnery, for centuries, until the abbey was secularised in 1803. Each blue ball is representing one village of the lordship. The pattern was also used on seals of the abbesses. In the 17th century it also appeared on the village seals of Oberbreisig and Niederbreisig. The fountain is symbolising the status af a mineral spa, which existed since 1914. The prefix "Bad" was added to Niederbreisig in 1958. The current municipality was established by a merger of both villages and the village of Rheineck on 7 June 1969. The new entity gained city rights on 2 May 1970.
