The | The F in the first and fourth quarters is derived from the name of [[Frýdek]] while the gold eagle on blue is the Piast eagle of [[Upper Silesia]]. The oldest depiction of the [[Frýdek]] arms can be found on a monument in Komenského Sady. It's unclear whether the eagle is a Silesian eagle (black eagle with a silver crescent on its chest on a gold field) or a Piast/Upper Silesian eagle, however, the Upper Silesian version became the accepted version. | ||
The | The crossed branches in the second and third quarters, representing [[Místek]], come from the arms of the Ronovci family, holders of the Místek estates in the 14th century. | ||
The | The arms were designed by Vilém Kocich and registered on February 12, 1992. They contain the quartered historical arms of the Silesian town of [[Frýdek]] and the Moravian [[Místek]], combined into a single town in 1943 during the German occupation. | ||
In 1965, the city administration created the first arms for the combined cities. The arms contained a blue and white shield divided per fess with the [[Frýdek]] Piast/Upper Silesian eagle on the left and the crossed branches of [[Místek]] on the right. The branches were depicted as gold. Overall was a red pile, voided sable, terminated in an mullet (star). This depiction was strongly affected by the communist regime and broke the rule of tincture in the right half. A competition to replace these arms was declared in 1990. | |||
