The article aims at presenting the town’s coat of arms as a medium of social communication in the Middle Ages and early modern times, with the example of one of the small towns in Western Pomerania – Kamień Pomorski. The text analyses the transformations that took place in the iconography of the town seal from the fourteenth to the nineteenth centuries and investigates different ways of understanding the symbolism of the coat of arms, based on written sources created from the seventeenth to eighteenth centuries in the town chancery. The example of the coat of arms of Kamień Pomorski was used to determine the reasons that led to changes in its appearance and in the message it conveyed. The undertaken studies demonstrated that the changes in the symbolic meaning of the coat of arms were the result of an intentional adaptation of the visual message shaped in the Middle Ages to the changing religious and social circumstances of the early modern period. The changes in the conveyed message were not only the result of the replacement of emblems placed on the seals, but also of their new interpretation by means of legends explaining the origin and symbolism of the coat of arms conceived by the town council and burghers.

In his book published in 2019, Sébastien Rossignol has inquired into medieval ducal charters issued in Silesia, Western Pomerania and Eastern Pomerania as a means of communication between the rulers and the ruled in the thirteenth and early fourteenth centuries. The purpose of this discussion article is to assess the scholarly value of Rossignol’s publication and to engage in a discussion of his proposed research strategy. The very subject of the reviewed book is noteworthy, as it goes beyond the issues concerning the functioning of ducal chanceries and the charters they produced that researchers have taken up so far. Rossignol proposes to look at medieval charters issued by the Silesian and Pomeranian dukes in the context of how they functioned in the system of communication in medieval society. Thus, the subsequent chapters of his book analyse how the intitulation and the preamble influenced the recipients of the charter, as well as the visual rhetoric of medieval charters issued by the dukes of Silesia, Western and Eastern Pomerania. It is also worth noting that the comparative approach used by the author to present the analysed issues required him to select territories at a similar level of social, economic and political development and with a similar state of research on medieval diplomatics. However, this selection raises a number of questions due to the inclusion of Eastern Pomerania, which stands apart from the other two regions in this context, and due to the insufficient state of research on the visual rhetoric of charters issued in Silesia and Pomerania during the medieval period.

The article contains an analysis of the most important work written by Ludwig W. Brüggemann entitled Ausführliche Beschreibung des gegenwärtigen Zustandes des Königl. Preussischen Herzogtums Vor- und Hinter-Pommern; it presents the 17th-century Western Pomerania. One of the elements of his description are coats of arms, thanks to which Brüggemann’s work has become the first written source of direct information on urban coats of arms, and as a result is a very valuable source for research into urban heraldry. The aim of the article is to identify the sources Brüggemann had drawn his knowledge from on the coats of arms of West Pomeranian towns. According to the analysis the basic source of heraldic information for Brüggemann were first of all the seals of particular towns. Another source of heraldic knowledge were scientific works written by Pomeranian historians: P. Friedeborn, J. Micraelius, Ch.W. Haken, W.C. Stolle, S. Gadebusch, M. Rangonis. Yet, Brüggemann had never copied their texts in extenso or slavishly; instead, he had shortened the texts and modified them to make them more suitable for his own needs. In some cases – eight to be exact – it was impossible to identify the sources he had drawn the information from on the history or the symbolism of the coats of arms. On the other hand, only in three cases the heraldic descriptions of towns had come from the topography and had been sent by clerks as a reply to a questionnaire prepared by L.W. Brüggemann. The results of the research lead to very important conclusions concerning the present-day urban heraldry. It has turned out that the overwhelming majority of the descriptions of coats of arms included the ones in Ausführliche Beschreibung… result from Brüggemann’s interpretations of seal images he had seen with his own eyes. They were not created on the basis of the information given by clerks of the local town halls. Therefore they are rather a reflection of the state of heraldic consciousness of Brüggemann himself, and not of the owners of those coats of arms – the burghers and the municipal authorities.

Artykuł poświęcono analizie sztandarowego dzieła Ludwiga W. Brüggemanna – Ausführliche Beschreibung des gegenwärtigen Zustandes des Königl. Preussischen Herzogtums Vor- und Hinter-Pommern, przedstawiającego stan XVIII-wiecznego Pomorza Zachodniego. Jednym z elementów opisu miast były także ich herby, dzięki czemu opracowanie Brüggemanna nabrało charakteru pierwszego źródła pisanego, zawierającego bezpośrednie informacje o znakach miejskich, a co za tym idzie – istotnego dla badań z zakresu heraldyki miejskiej. Celem artykułu było ustalenie, skąd badacz ten czerpał swoją wiedzę na temat współczesnych herbów miast zachodniopomorskich. Przeprowadzona analiza wskazuje, że podstawowym źródłem informacji heraldycznych były dla Brüggemanna przede wszystkim aktualne pieczęcie miejskie poszczególnych miast. Innym źródłem wiedzy heraldycznej były naukowe opracowania pomorskich historyków: P. Friedeborna, J. Micraeliusa, Ch.W. Hakena, W.C. Stollego, S. Gadebuscha, M. Rangonisa. Nigdy jednak opisów zamieszczonych w dziełach swoich poprzedników nie przepisywał in extenso ani bezrefleksyjnie, ale skracał je i przerabiał dla własnych potrzeb. W przypadku kilku opisów (8 razy) nie udało się niestety ustalić, skąd zaczerpnięte zostały dokładne informacje o historii lub symbolice herbu miasta. Natomiast zaledwie w trzech przypadkach opisy herbów pochodziły z topografii przesłanych przez urzędników w odpowiedzi na ankietę rozesłaną przez L.W. Brüggemanna. Ustalenia te prowadzą do wniosków ważnych dla współczesnej heraldyki miejskiej. Okazało się bowiem, że zdecydowana większość opisów herbów zamieszczonych w Ausführliche Beschreibung… jest efektem dokonywanych przez Brüggemanna interpretacji wyobrażeń napieczętnych, które znał z autopsji. Nie powstały one na podstawie informacji przekazanych przez urzędników miejscowych magistratów. Są zatem raczej odbiciem stanu świadomości heraldycznej samego Brüggemanna, a nie właścicieli tych herbów – mieszczan i władz miejskich konkretnych miast.

The article presents one of the ways to create the contemporary coats of arms for the West-Pomeranian counties, of which the overwhelming majority appeared after the new administrative division of the country in 1999. Only six county coats of arms drew on the pre-war heraldic tradition: Pyrzyce, Choszczno, Myślibórz, Łobez, Świdwin, and Szczecinek. The reception of the German municipal heraldry in the West-Pomeranian Region was carried out in two ways. The fi rst was to take over the pre-war coats of arms and approved it by the County Council; the second – to accept new coats of arms but based on the German antecedents. The fi rst way was used by two counties: Choszczno and Łobez; the second was used by the counties of Myślibórz, Szczecinek, Pyrzyce and Świdwin.
