Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on August 29, 1433.
The arms show the Imperial eagle and the lion of Bohemia and were granted by Emperor Sigismund. Görlitz belonged to Bohemia until 1635, when the city became part of Sachsen.
On October 2, 1536, Görlitz received new arms from Emperor Charles V. These arms quartered the eagle and lion, and with an inescutcheon of Austria and the imperial crown.
If this text appears, it means that background information is available, but that I have not yet had the time to add the information on these arms. Just [|mail me with the name of the town in the subject !] and I will add all information that I have !
