Coat of arms of Pomerania

The region of Kashubia, is now being defined as located in Pomerelia, in what is now Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland, however, it remains unknown what area exactly it referred to at the time.

[1] In the private coat of arms of duke George I was included the helmet above the shield, with a crown hat with a small plume of peacock feathers.

In the middle row, the left field depicted a red right-facing griffin with green diagonal stripes placed on a white background, representing the Wendish lands.

Above the top right field was placed a helmet with a crown and hat with a lily stems and a small plume of peacock feathers, which represented Pomerania.

Not long after they were replaced by two wild men, figures depicting male humans wearing oak leaves around their hips, and holding clubs.

[1][9] The voivodeships of Chełmno, Malbork, and Pomerania, as well as Royal Prussia, in the Kingdom of Poland, were established in a 1454 order of king Casimir IV Jagiellon.

[14][15] In accordance to 16th-century historian Bartosz Paprocki, its coat of arms depicted a red griffin with a crown on its head, standing on its back feat and with risen wings, placed in a white (silver) shield.

One depicted a black eagle, with a golden (yellow) crown on its neck, from which reaches an arm in silver armour, holding a sword above the head of the bird, turned to the viewer's left.

Another version depicted a white eagle, with a golden (yellow) crown on its neck, from which reaches an arm in silver armour, holding a sword above the head of the bird, turned to the viewer's left.

On its coinage it depicted the nine-field coat of arms of Pomerania, as well as a single left-facing griffin with a crown on its head, and a sword in its right hand, standing on its back feat and with risen wings.

[21][22] The banner made for the funeral of king Charles X Gustav of Sweden, depicted a red left-facing griffin in a yellow (golden) shield.

To the left, was a wild man, figure depicting an almost-naked male human with a beard wearing oak leaves around his hips, and holding a spear in his right hand.

At the top of the spear was attached a banner of arms, depicting a red griffin with a yellow (golden) beak and claws, placed on a white background.

Eventually, the plans for the establishment of the coat of arms had been stopped by the Invasion of Poland by Nazi Germany, on 1 September 1939, which began the World War II, and were not picked up back after the end of the conflict.

[25][26][27] The proposed design consisted of a white Iberian-style escutcheon, with a square top and rounded base, depicting a red right-facing griffin with a yellow (golden) crown on its head, standing on its back feat and with risen wings.

[1][28] In 1945, the minister-president of the state, Wilhelm Höcker, campaigned for the creation of the coat of arms representing both historical regions of Mecklenburg and Western Pomerania.

[1] In 1990, prior to the establishment of the official symbols, the state unofficially used a flag that was divided horizontally into three equal stripes, that were, from top to bottom, dark blue, yellow, and red.

The top right field depicts a red griffin with a yellow (golden) beak and claws, standing on its back legs, with risen wings, and facing to the left, placed on a white (silver) background.

[1][31] The small coat of arms consists of an Iberian-style escutcheon (shield) with a square top and rounded base, divided vertically into two fields.

The right field depicts a red griffin with a yellow (golden) beak and claws, standing on its back legs, with risen wings, and facing to the left, placed on a white (silver) background.

[35] The coat of arms depicts a red griffin with a yellow (golden) beak and claws standing in the combat position, placed within the white (silver) Iberian-style escutcheon.

As the compromise, the proposed symbol would depict a black (or white) eagle, with a golden (yellow) crown on its neck, from which reaches an arm in silver armor, holding a sword above the head of the bird, turned to the viewer's left.

On its chest would be a yellow (golden) shield depicting a black griffin, standing on its back feet, with risen front legs and wings.

[37][38] Soon after, the Pomeranian Voivodeship Sejmik had approved a different design of the coat of arms, made by Wawrzyniec Samp, which consisted of a yellow (golden) Iberian style escutcheon, depicting a black griffin, standing on its back feet, with its front legs and winds rose, a red tongue put out from its opened beak, and a tail that splits into two in a middle of its length.

The top right field depicts a red griffin with a yellow (golden) beak and claws, standing on its back legs, with risen wings, and facing to the left, placed on a white (silver) background.

[1][31] The small coat of arms consists of an Iberian-style escutcheon (shield) with a square top and rounded base, divided vertically into two fields.

The right field depicts a red griffin with yellow (golden) beak and claws, standing on its back legs, with risen wings, and facing to the left, placed on a white (silver) background.

[31] The coat of arms of the Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland consists of a yellow (golden) Iberian style escutcheon, depicting a black griffin, standing on its back feet, with its front legs and winds rose, a red tongue put out from its opened beak, and a tail that splits into two in middle of its length.

[38][39] The coat of arms of the West Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland depicts a red griffin with a yellow (golden) beak and claws standing in the combat position, placed within the white (silver) Iberian style escutcheon.

[35] A traditional symbol of the cultural region of Kashubia in Poland, and Kashubian people, is a black griffin standing on its back legs, with risen front paws and wings, placed on a yellow (golden) background.
