These
are family arms borne in
the Polish tradition
(named, according to the
Polish tradition
“Woyawa”) and therefore
also used by the
armigers’ brothers
Andrzej, Witold, and
Artur Wojtyczka and
their descendants. There
are presently ten
armigers using these
arms: Andrzej Piotr
Wojtyczka born
29.06.1951, his brothers
Witold Janusz born 1954,
Artur Karol born 1957,
as well as Andrzej’s
children: Radoslaw
Andrzej born 1983,
Arthur Josef born 1996,
Monika Irena born 1998,
Witold’s children:
Maciej Witold, born
1982, Ewa Maria born
1984 and Artur’s
children: Alexander
Konrad born 1977 and
Julia Karin born 1994.
The golden horseshoe is
a reference to the
armiger’s paternal and
maternal forebears.
Three spear-heads
represent three brothers
(the armiger and his two
brothers). The golden
annulet surrounding the
horseshoe symbolises the
close family relations
between the brothers and
their veneration for
tradition. Blue and Gold
are the colours of Upper
Silesia, Poland, and
represent the armiger’s
pride for his country.
The Crest alludes to the
armiger’s home town
Mikolow in Upper
Silesia.
