This Coat of Arms served the city also during the interwar period.

adopted 2009 (?)

This is an update on the new city flag of Chrzanów [Chrzanów commune (Poland)], adopted in 2009. Please, check this website in English:
http://homepage.mac.com/crowns/chrzanovia/wstep/avsymbole.html and find enclosed a picture I took myself on Nov. 1st, 2009 in Chrzanów: The flag consists of 3 vertical stripes: broad white stripe in the middle and two narrower pale blue stripes bordering it on both sides. The central white stripe is charged with the city arms.

Neither the city's website nor its BIP page does mention the new flag - But there is a picture of it (actually two pictures) at: <http://homepage.mac.com/crowns/chrzanovia/wstep/avsymbole.html> from which I did report to you the previous flag of the town and commune.
This site also mentions 2009 as the date of adoption of the new flag, without going into any details of it.
