"Die Blasonierung lautet: „Unter silbernem Schildhaupt, darin ein durchgehendes schwarzes Balkenkreuz, in Rot ein goldener Schlüssel mit rechtsgewendetem Bart in Form eines Rechtecks aus mehrfach abgewinkelten Stegen und Vierpaßreite“. Die Stadt Linz führt als Besonderheit einen Renaissanceschild.

Das schwarze Kreuz deutet auf die Zugehörigkeit von Linz zum Erzstift Köln hin. Der Schlüssel ist das Attribut des Hl. Petrus, des Schutzpatrons der Kölner Kirche. Kreuz und Schlüssel erscheinen schon im ältesten Stadtsiegel von 1340. Das Stadtwappen ist rechtsgültig seit 1857 mit königlich-preußischer Genehmigung."
