RESKO
(Regenwalde)
 Origin/meaning:
The oldest seal of the city dates from the 13th century and already shows a tree in a wavy base. In the tree there are some bird picking from undefined fruits. Two 15th century seals show two different images; the oldest one shows only the griffin of Pommern, the latter the tree and waves, but now without the bird. On some later images the base is shown as a grassy mould, but the arms used at the end of the 19th century again showed the waves. After the town had become Polish, the arms were continued.
