Origin/meaning
The arms of the city (German name Münsterberg ) show three towers on a hill, with a star and crescent. The towers can be canting in German (Münsterberg means mountain with a monastery). The eagle in the small gate is the eagle of Silezia.
The towers are already seen on the 13th century seals of the city, but the eagle only appeared in the 15th century. Ever since the city has used the same composition. During the years the size, shape and colours have varied, as seen in the images below:
 The seal from around 1900 |
 The arms in the Kaffee Hag albums +/- 1925 |
 The arms as shown around 1970 |
 The arms at the town's entrance |
