Official blazon

Origin/meaning

The arms were officially adopted on June 18, 1998.

The arms of the city (German name Freystadt in Niederschlesien) show a city gate and are based on the oldest seal of the city. This seal is known from 1310 and shows a castle or city (Stadt=city) with three towers. On both outer towers a guard blowing a horn can be seen. This is the seal on which the present arms are based. All seals dating from the late 15^th century and later show only three towers, and no guards. In the 17^th century a fence was added to the gate, and this composition was used as the arms of the city in the 19th and early 20^th century.
