ORNETA
Province: Warmia i Mazury
County: Lidzbark
Official blazon
Origin/meaning
The arms show a dragon or worm, a canting element for the German version of the name (Wormditt). The worm already appears on the oldest seal of the city, known since 1388. All later seals and images show a worm or dragon, but the actual shape differs widely.
There is a local legend that there was a large dragon living in a cave under what is now the town hall. He devoured animals, women and children. He was finally killed by a knight.
 The arms in the Kaffee Hag albums +/- 1925 |
