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?

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?

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.

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...
