Abstract

Modern Gdańsk was a city of many possibilities. Already in the 15th c. a strong middle class group was identified and eventually formed the urban patricians. Among the most important and powerful families were Czirenberg, Zimmermann, Brandt and von der Linde. They used coats of arms that were created either in accordance with the heraldic rules or with free approach to these principles. In addition to the coats of arms there were also used house marks, that together with mixed German, Dutch and Polish influences made the local coats of arms very diverse. For the purpose of this text, 60 manuscripts regarding the history of Gdansk families were found in the collection of Gdansk Library of the Polish Academy of Sciences, that was established from the bourgeois collections of books and manuscripts. Among them one will find not only armorials with the preserved seals, but also books of pedigree, plaques and decorative family trees, documents and copies of family records, as well as, statements and lists developed by other researchers.
