The arms show a yellow/golden upright pall on red, with a six-pointed star in each of the three fields.
According the communal website the three golden stars represent on the one hand the three municipal districts, which are Kobersdorf, Lindgraben, and Oberpetersdorf, and which have been united to form the municipality of Kobersdorf since January 1, 1971. On the other hand they also symbolize the three predominant religious denominations in Kobersdorf, Protestantism, Catholicism, and Judaism¹.
On 18 June 1996, the market town of Kobersdorf was granted the right to bear a municipal coat of arms in recognition of its cultural commitment.
The official colours are red and yellow.

¹ Kobersdorf belonged to the so-called Siebengemeinden (Seven Communities, Hebrew: Sheva Kehilot), with a special Jewish history (beside Eisenstadt, Deutschkreutz, Frauenkirchen, Kittsee, Lackenbach, Mattersburg). As one of very few places Kobersdorf still has its synagogue; its blasting was canceled in 1941 for reasons that are not entirely clear. For more information see here [English translation] and the book Jüdisches Burgenland by Christof Habres/Elisabeth Reis (2012).
