Sławno/Schlawe was founded as a Polish village, but received its German name and city rights in 1317. The oldest seal of the city dates from the same time and shows only a sea-griffin (an eagle with a fish tail). The sea-griffin was the arms of the Swenzo-family that ruled the city. | Sławno/Schlawe was founded as a Polish village, but received its German name and city rights in 1317.
