Frauenkirchen in the Seewinkel region between the Neusiedlersee and Hungary is known for its basilica and the Franciscan monastery. The double-armed cross on the arms may refer to these two buildings.

Coats of Arms

Older Version

Newer Version

According the municipal administration (who refers to informations from folklorist Sepp Gmasz), the older version with the rosettes and the flat-ended arms has its earliest proof on a communal seal from 1783. Meanwhile the newer, simplified version has become the official version. Nevertheless the older version is still in use, e.g. on the municipality's website and Facebook presence; thus both versions are given an official character.
The official colours are white-red.
