![[Malbork city flag]](../images/p/pl-pm-mb.gif)
by Jarig Bakker, 25 Aug 2001
In the World Encyclopedia of Flags, by Alfred Znamierowski, 1999, p.
233 are some Polish municipal flags. I've used the CoA of Malbork on Adam
Kromer's page for this image.
Malbork (German: Marienburg in West Preussen) received townrights in
1276. It was the seat of the Grand Master of the Teutonic Knights 1307-1457.
Polish since 1466; to Prussia 1772; assigned to Poland by the Potsdam Conference
in 1945. It is in North Poland, Malbork county, Pomorskie vojvodship, with
(1981) 34.892 inhabitants.

Malbork: I guess this is only the Teutonic castle's historical
flag: White, with a gold Scandinavian cross, bordered with black and with
edges. Centered on the cross sideways, a gold shield with black eagle (seems
like a rendition of the german coat of arms). A dent above and under
the cross on the fly. I saw the flag displayed vertically, so that
the shield is normally viewed.
