Poing is a municipality in the Upper Bavarian district of Ebersberg, lying 18 kilometres (11 mi) east of central Munich.

Poing is bordered on the east by Anzing and Markt Schwaben, Pliening in the North, Kirchheim to the West and Parsdorf to the South.

Thomas Stark won the election after the previous mayor, Albert Hingerl (SPD) decided to retire after 20 years in the position.

The shield's color and the silver fess hearken back to the community's former fast link with the House of Wittelsbach.

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.
