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.
Frauenkirchen belonged to the so-called Siebengemeinden (Seven Communities, Hebrew: Sheva Kehilot), with a special Jewish history (beside Eisenstadt, Deutschkreutz, Kittsee, Kobersdorf, Lackenbach, Mattersburg). For more information see here [English translation] and the book Jüdisches Burgenland by Christof Habres/Elisabeth Reis (2012).

### 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.
