Coat of arms of Bielsko-Biała

The coat of arms of Bielsko-Biała is one of the city's four symbols, alongside the flag, logo, and bugle call. It was officially established on 7 December 2004 by Resolution No. XXXVII/1189/2004 of the City Council in Bielsko-Biała.

This coat of arms developed following the merger of Biała and Bielsko in 1951 and is one of the few in municipal heraldry to feature two escutcheons. Such a composition is exceptionally permitted only when a city is formed by merging two separate cities with distinct coats of arms deeply rooted in tradition.
