are flag and CoA of the city of Giżycko. Adopted 31 Aug 2001.

There is a little legend, which says :" Once, the Prussian Prince (Grand
Elector) Friedrich Wilhelm I (1620-1688) was dining in the local Inn during
his brief stay in Gizycko.The innkeeper served him three carps and the
fish was to such a liking of the Prince, he decided to grant the city its
Coat-of-Arms, three carps on the shield, exactly as he had seen them on
his plate" Unfortunately, the legend has a serious problem with history
as the CoA was really granted well before prince's birth, in 1612.

From Flagdatabank 11, Dec 1999: "On 30 June 1999 Giżycko adopted
a new flag: gyronny resulting in twelve triangles, white alternating with
light blue, charged with the CoA, which is horizontally divided. The white
upper part is charged with a black cormorant, the light blue lower part
with a white fish."
The CoA is from this
site with Polish and German text, where one can learn that the German
name of this commune in Warminsko-Mazurskie vojvodship is Lötzen. It is
in the Giżycko county.
