Olesnica - urban commune, Olesnica County, Dolnośląskie Voivodship - former German name: Öls (Oels).
The City Council's resolution # XL/309/2006 dated April 28, 2006 says among other things:
"The simplified Arms of the City of Olesnica is the image of the white eagle, the symbol of Saint John the Evangelist, with the head turned right and the wings spread wide. The eagle's head is encircled with the gold aureole. In its talons, the eagle holds the gold ribbon with the legend: "S-IOEVAN".
The eagle is placed on the red field of the Spanish-style heraldic shield outlined with thin black line.
There is also a more elaborate version of the Arms (displayed on the flag) with the addition of various heraldic charges, like a knight's helmet, a crown, jewels and towers.

The City's colors are yellow, white and red arranged into the flag of three equal horizontal bands:
upper - yellow
middle - white
bottom - red
The ratio of the flag is 5:8

The ceremonial flag of the City should be 3:5 with the yellow part being of 2/5 of the length of the flag and the rest of the equal, white and red bands arranged
horizontally. In the middle of the yellow part, the full (great) Arms of the City are placed."

There are websites on the net severely criticizing the city's government for sloppily displaying their own flag with widely different proportions and wrong placements
of the Arms contradicting the laws they passed themselves. That's a life in the Big City ( not really - population only 37 000)
