Visual Elements & Symbolism
The design features a shield at its core, brimming with symbolic imagery. A prominent element is a stylized representation of a river or stream, gracefully flowing across the shield. This element alludes to the district’s name, “Zarzecze,” which translates to "beyond the river."
At the base of the shield, the artwork depicts grassy or marshy areas, hinting at the natural landscape that historically characterized Zarzecze. This evokes the meadows and wetlands that defined the area before urbanization.
Above the river and grasses, a row of houses or buildings is depicted. This element represents the early settlement and community that formed the core of Zarzecze, reflecting its rural origins and village character.
Meaning & Interpretation

The houses represent the community and the built environment. The grassy or marshy areas serve as a visual connection to the natural environment which was predominant when the coat of arms was designed.
