new Gliwice county flag

Already at the August,25 2005 the Gliwice County  adopted a flag ( see please http://www.fahnenversand.de/fotw/flags/pl-sl-gl.html ). Also there was a controversy with the Heraldic commission here. Point of criticism were here the cross by hammer and ear. Both figures do not present the Gliwice County. Despite the negative resolution of the commission the symbols one carried.

After a veto of the Marshall of the voivodship of Slaskie (Upper Silesia) new symbols were adopted on 31 Aug.2006. Now localtypical symbols were used. The tower with the yellow roof originated from the coat of arms of Gliwice Town.

 The flag of Gliwice misses the coats of arms of the city which should appear in the central place as on the picture attached. Gliwice or German: Gleiwitz is in Gliwice county, 21 km west of Katowice, with (1981) 202.238 inhabitants. It was chartered as city in 1276; passed to Prussia in 1742; in World War II taken by U.S.S.R. January 25 1945 assigned to Poland by Potsdam Conference 1945.
