Origin/meaning
In the year 1873, the city of Budapest was founded. It is an association of the old cities of Buda and Ó-buda (Old-Buda) on the western hills on the banks of the river Danube and the newer city Pest on the eastern banks. The old city of Buda was founded in the 13th century when King Bèla IV. built the fortress after the battle against the Tartars.
The upper part of the arms shows the old Pest arms with one tower, on the lower is the old Buda arms with three towers. The second gate on the wall of Buda represents Ó-Buda, which had totally different arms before.
The bar symbolises the river Danube.
The arms are crowned by the holy crown of St. Stephan. Stephan was the first King of Hungary, and the crown was given to him by Pope Sylvester II. The holy crown is the symbol of the State of Hungaria and the sanctuary of the Hungarian people. St. Stephan died in 1038.
During communist rule, a red star was placed on the silver bar, see below.
