The part of the Town Hall with the town coat of arms: on the left the yellow Upper Silesian Eagle on the blue background, on the right side double cross refers to the Order of the Holy Sepulchre (Chorzów, as a village was given* by Władysław, duke of Opole, to the Order of the Holy Sepulchre, in 1257.)

*) There are many uncertainties: it was village in this time, or it was only a place for village, or the village was destroyed by Mongols (called in Poland 'Tatars').
>the blue Upper Silesian Eagle
ReplyDeleteBut this one is yellow! ;D
Thank You! It is yellow eagle on the blue background in fact.
ReplyDeleteNo tak... Ponoc mężczyźni nie przywiązują wagi do kolorów.
ReplyDeleteAle to może już dyskusja na innego bloga ;)
To nie to -- bo zabawy z modelami są bardzo kształcące, jeśli chodzi o kolory.
ReplyDeletePo prostu dzisiaj mnie jakoś praca od bloga co chwilę odrywa i roztargniony jestem...
An interesting coat of arms and history. Very nice long shot.
