Poing, Bavaria

Poing is a municipality in the Upper Bavarian district of Ebersberg, lying east of central Munich.

Poing is approximately NE of Munich and is serviced by the Munich S Bahn (S2) and MVV Bus systems. Poing has two
constituent communities named Angelbrechting and Grub. Poing is bordered on the east by Anzing and
Markt Schwaben, Pliening in the North, Kirchheim to the West and Parsdorf to the South.

It is believed that Poing has been settled for more than 5,000 years. The ending on the community's name suggests a Celtic origin.

The political parties currently represented on Poing's municipal council are the CSU, the SPD, the Greens, the FWG Poing e. V. and the FDP. The last mayoral election was held in March 2020. Thomas Stark won the election after the previous mayor, Albert Hingerl (SPD) decided to retire after 20 years in the position.

Poing's arms might heraldically be described thus: In azure a fess argent upon which a chevron Or below which an eight pointed star argent. From the Poing patrician family Prielmair's arms came both the star and the chevron. The shield's color and the silver fess hearken back to the community's former fast link with the House of Wittelsbach.

The Wildpark Poing, opened in 1970 and lies to the east of the community. In some parts of the park, visitors can walk through large outdoor enclosures containing various kinds of free roaming animals, which the public may feed.
