The arms are supposedly granted by Duke Bogislaw XIII of Pommerania in 1587, when he founded the city. The arms show a castle with the griffin of [[Pommerania]] in the gate.

The two letters thus stand for Bogislaw and Franz. | The arms are supposedly granted by Duke Bogislaw XIII of Pommerania in 1587, when he founded the city.
