The bar embattled (that is, the narrow horizontal stripe with the upper edge resembling battlements on a castle wall) stands for the now ruined castle, Burg Freudenstein, found within Brockscheid's municipal limits. The three crowns stand for the Magi, who until 1862 were the village's patrons. The tinctures argent and gules (silver and red) refer to the village's former status as a municipality within the Electoral-Trier "Amt" of Daun. Below the bar, the tinctures are Or and gules (gold and red), which were those borne by the old Lords of Daun in their arms. These lords had patronage rights at the local church. The bell stands for the bellfounder's profession, which began in Brockscheid in 1840 and continues today.
