S³awno city CoA

[Slawno city CoA] by Jarig Bakker, 3 Jul 2001

Slawno city (German: Schlawe) has its CoA on Ralf Hartemink's site. - info:
"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. A second seal, dating from the mid 14th century shows the sea-griffin with the Wipper river, and the chequered
diamond. The meaning or origin of the latter is not known. All later seals show the same composition, which was placed in a shield
in the 19th century.
I have no information whether the present city still uses these arms.
Literature: Hupp, O : Königreich Preussen. Wappen der Städte, Flecken und Dörfer. Reprint von 1896 und 1898. Kulturstiftung
der deutschen Vertriebenen, Bonn, 1993."

The city still uses the CoA, and the county as well.
