Meaning:

All charges are referring to the Archbishopric of Trier, to which Zell belonged from 1332 until 1794 as seat of a district (German: Oberamt). The red cross displays the arms of the archbishopric, the keys are attributes of St. Peter, patron saint of two local churches and of the archbishopric as well. A later seal displayed the charges on a shield, which had been the precursor of the city arms. On flag the arms are on a Renaissance shield with golden edges topped by a coronet of the same.
