The coat of arms from 1966 showed the Polish eagle in the front, in the back in the upper 2/3 a black winding tower in front of a blue field and in the lower third the colors green, black and orange. The coat of arms was adopted by the Municipal National Council on September 17, 1966. On the one hand it was supposed to represent the affiliation to Poland, on the other hand the winding tower symbolized the mining industry, which is important in the area. The coat of arms was in many ways not heraldically correct and changed its colors regularly in the years that followed.
