Province: Moravskoslezský Kraj
District (Okres) : Karviná
Incorporated into : 1949 Nový Bohumín
Official blazon
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially approved in July 1967.
The town was founded at the time when a big railway junction was built on the line connecting Vienna with Kraków (then in Austrian Galicia) and Wroclaw (then Breslau in German Silesia). The aldermen of Bohumín, suspicious of the new diabolic invention hurling clouds of smoke, did not permit building the junction on the lands belonging to the town, and so a Nový (= new) Bohumín was established not too far away.
The tinctures of the field, gules and argent, are the national colours of both Czechs and Poles, which two nationalities meet at Novy Bohumín. The reversed shakefork is a graphic representation of the railway line running from the southwest to Novy Bohumín from Prague, and continuing one way to the north to Warsaw, and the other to the southeast to Slovakia. The cogwheel stands for the local industry, while the winged wheel was the official badge of the Czechoslovak State Railways. The colours of the chief are those of the former duchy of Tesín (Teschen) on which territory the town stands.
Before 1940 the town used arms as shown below, with in chief the winged wheel for the railways and in base ??
