The flag is also known without a coat of arms.

According to my Polish history atlas, Kraków was a republic (or free city) from 1815 to 1846. Did it have a flag?
Ole Andersen, 25 Nov 1999

According to Jan Miller, "Choragwie i Flagi Polskie" Warsaw, 1962, p.12, ill.6, it had a white-blue bicolor.
Norman M. Martin, 25 Nov 1999

Which proportions did it have? And did the town have other flags?
Ole Andersen, 26 Nov 1999

Free City of Cracow (called also Republic of Cracow) had flag horizontally white-blue. Cracow was annexed by Austria in 1846. White-blue flag stayed as unofficial municipal flag.

Kraków city flag with arms

At this webpage are images and despcriptions of the new symbols of Krakow, the birthplace of the great anthropologist Bronislaw Malinowski. The city flag is the same as at <pl-mp-kr.html>
New: the city-banner: Scottish flag with Kraków's arms.
According to Luc Baronian: horizontal white over blue, with coat of arms centered. Flag adopted: 1815. - I've tried to get a decent image using the Coat of Arms on Ralf Hartemink's website (the old Coat of Arms, as depicted too in Louda's European Civic Coats of Arms).
It's not quite clear to me when the new symbols were introduced...
