"In June 25 1993 the session of the town council approved
the gonfalon: a rectangular canvas with a ratio of the sides:
1:1. Width of the top part is 1/4 of the width of the gonfalon
and is yellow. The bottom (3/4 of the width) is red. In the
bottom part there is a yellow sphere, which is pierced crosslike
by two white swords with yellow handles".

Heraldry:
"City in Lviv Oblast. The first mention refers to 1374.
Belonged to the Gerburts. Magdeburg Right was given in 1566.The
first seals, known since XVII century, has a picture of a ball
(apple) pierced by two swords - a variant of the Coat of Arms of
the Gerburts".

My ancient encyclopedia says, under the heading Magdeburg
- "Magdeburg became a flourishing commercial town during the
13th century, and was an important member of the Hanseatic
League..."Magdeburg law" (Magdeburger Recht), securing
the administrative independence of municipalities, was widely
adopted."
Perhaps where the source says "was given Magdeburg
right" we should translate "received the right of civic
self-government" or something similar.
