MRĄGOWO
Province: Warmia i Mazury
County: Mrągowo
Official blazon
Origin/meaning
Mragowo's old German name was Sensburg, or scythe's town. The bear's claw is derived from the legend related to the name. Once a bear threatened the people in the area. They hunted the bear and cut off its paw with a scythe. Hence the name of the town and the claw in the arms. The bear fled and was finally killed in Rastenburg (present Kętrzyn), hence a bear in the arms of Kętrzyn.
 The arms by Hupp in the Kaffee Hag albums +/- 1925 |
 Seal from around 1900 |
 The arms as shown in 1970 |
