Coat Of Arms Of Kaliningrad
The coat of arms of Kaliningrad is the official heraldic achievement of Kaliningrad in Russia. Description The arms displays a medieval ship for the harbour on the Baltic Sea, which has been important for the city since its foundation in the Middle Ages. The ship is flying a pennant resembling the Russian Navy Ensign on the top of the mast. In the middle is an inescutcheon with the old smaller arms of the city, used when it was called Königsberg (it changed names in 1946, following its seizure by the Soviet Union from Germany). Königsberg is German for "King's Mountain"; the crown may be a symbol for the king. The adjacent towns of Kneiphof and Neustadt Königsberg (originally called Löbenicht) were merged with Königsberg in 1724 and their three shields were often used together during the following time, supported by the Prussian eagle. The city uses a flag which is a banner of arms. Coat of Arms of Königsberg.svg, Old arms of Königsberg. On the sides are the arms of Kne ...

Flag Of Kaliningrad
A flag is a piece of fabric (most often rectangular or quadrilateral) with a distinctive design and colours. It is used as a symbol, a signalling device, or for decoration. The term ''flag'' is also used to refer to the graphic design employed, and flags have evolved into a general tool for rudimentary signalling and identification, especially in environments where communication is challenging (such as the maritime environment, where semaphore is used). Many flags fall into groups of similar designs called flag families. The study of flags is known as "vexillology" from the Latin , meaning "flag" or "banner". National flags are patriotic symbols with widely varied interpretations that often include strong military associations because of their original and ongoing use for that purpose. Flags are also used in messaging, advertising, or for decorative purposes. Some military units are called "flags" after their use of flags. A ''flag'' (Arabic: ) is equivalent to a brigade in ...

Coat Of Arms Of Prussia
The state of Prussia developed from the State of the Teutonic Order. The original flag of the Teutonic Knights had been a black cross on a white flag. Emperor Frederick II in 1229 granted them the right to use the black Eagle of the Holy Roman Empire. This "Prussian Eagle" remained the coats of arms of the successive Prussian states until 1947.

Municipal Coats Of Arms In Russia
A municipality is usually a single administrative division having corporate status and powers of self-government or jurisdiction as granted by national and regional laws to which it is subordinate. The term ''municipality'' may also mean the governing body of a given municipality. A municipality is a general-purpose administrative subdivision, as opposed to a special-purpose district. The term is derived from French and Latin . The English word ''municipality'' derives from the Latin social contract (derived from a word meaning "duty holders"), referring to the Latin communities that supplied Rome with troops in exchange for their own incorporation into the Roman state (granting Roman citizenship to the inhabitants) while permitting the communities to retain their own local governments (a limited autonomy).
