The arms of Pöttsching show a (fructed) twig of cherry; a church; and a musical key. The cherries illustrate the following: Burgenland is a fertile country in a sunny climate, but the population always was poor. Fruit-picking was important because it meant extra money for the small farms. The church is the oldest building of Pöttsching. It has a long history.

The colours of the arms are those of the State flag. | |||
