since 1950. The first city flag, from the 19th century, was white over
red, containing the colors of the often changed coat of arms. In 1960 a
new coat of arms was adopted: on blue a silver horseman holding a shield
with the Polish eagle and a banner with the Pomeranian griffin. The new
city flag is of white over light blue horizontal stripes."
