BUDAPEST DISTRICT 03 : ÓBUDA-BÉKASMEGYER
Origin/meaning:
The arms were granted on June 13, 1991.
The district is the union of the formerly Óbuda town (in 1873 united with Buda and Pest cities to Budapest) and the German inhabited Békasmegyer (Krottendorf) village (united in 1950).
The first known seal was used between 1370-1380, under the ruling of King Louis The Great. It had been readapted several times until the Turkish occupation, but that design was forgotten later.
At the beginning of the 20th century the figure of the natural lily, later the tulip was applied on the official seal as a symbol for agriculture. In 1991 the district coloured and inserted the seal-figure from the age of Anjou in its newly created arms.
The arms show the castle of Queen Elisabeth- the mother of King Louis the Great. The two small shields show the arms of Hungary-Anjou (red bars for Hungary, fleur-de-lis for Anjou), and the Polish eagle. The Hungarian-Anjou arms are taken from the ruling Hungarian dynasty at the time. The Polish eagle indicates that Queen Elisabeth was a descendent from the Polish royal family.
