==History and Symbolism==
 "The Katowice's coat of arms was established in 1936 (the Katowice City Council resolution of 17 December 1936). Its upper part on the golden background depicts a black water-powered hammer with a die, a cogwheel and a brown girder. The appearance of the hammer forge device refers to equipment of the former Bogucka smithy.
The lower part of the coat of arms is blue and symbolises the Rawa River that flows through Katowice. The coat of arms in this shape may be found, inter alia, in the oldest document of 26 March 1816 concerning the village of Katowice. "
 "The municipal flag of Katowice City is a banner of two equally sized horizontal bands of yellow and blue colours referring to the traditional colours of Upper Silesia. It also has the municipal coat of arms in the middle. The origin of the Upper Silesian colours goes back to the Middle Ages and the Silesian Piasts who were one of four lines of the Polish Piast dynasty. The yellow and blue bicolour has been officially used since 1937, when it was approved by the City Council resolution of 26 November 1937."
