Origin/meaning

The arms of the city (German name Goldberg) shows in a golden (Gold) field an small mountain (Berg) in the base and the eagle of Silezia.

The oldest seal of the city dates from the 13^th century and shows the mountain, but with a few flowers or trees, and no eagle. The above composition appeared for the first time in the late 14th or early 15^th century. The composition remained the same during the centuries, however, the eagle has changed often from facing left to right.

During the 19^th century until 1945, the eagle was shown as a complete black eagle, instead of the Silezian eagle. Below the image as shown in the early 20th century. The present Polish city has restored the old eagle, as shown above.
