Herbarz Miast Polskich Polish Civic Heraldry LUBAN (Lauban) Origin/meaning: The arms above left are the arms used in the late 19th century. Above right are the present arms. According to legend, the arms were granted on December 17, 1541 by Emperor Ferdinand. There is no existing proof thereof, but it was mentioned in a description of the city from 1719. The arms show a city wall and between the towers the complete arms of the Dukes of Furstenberg, in the 16th century rulers of the city. The design of the arms, however, is much older. The oldest seal dates from the 14th century and also shows a city wall, but now with the eagle of Brandenburg between the towers. When the city became part of Bohemia in the 14th century, the eagle was replaced by the lion of Bohemia, and thus later by the crossed keys of Furstenberg. Literature : Hupp, O : Königreich Preussen.
