coat of arms
Blazon : "In silver, a green, flat tip, above it two blue, six-pointed stars." The community colors are green and white.
The coat of arms, awarded in 1978, shows the place name with the green mountain, whereby the green color indicates agriculture and tourism as the most important occupations of the residents. The two stars stand for the two formerly independent communities of Berg and Eggenberg, which were merged in 1938.
history
The story of Berg im Attergau is closely linked to that of St. Georgen im Attergau. Originally located in the eastern part of the Duchy of Bavaria, the place belonged to the Duchy of Austria since the 12th century. Since 1490 it has been assigned to the Principality of Austria ob der Enns .
Berg has been an independent municipality since 1848. The current municipality of Berg emerged from the two independent municipalities Berg and Eggenberg by merging in 1938.
Ring wall system on the Buchberg
In 1974 archaeological excavations led by Clemens Eibner discovered the outlines of a 400-meter-long ring wall . It can be assumed that around 1500 BC The inhabitants of the pile dwellings gave up their settlements on the lake and moved up here. The facility itself was only attached later.
Only a few finds (ceramics, pottery shards) came to light, but it is certain that the Buchberg summit was inhabited for a very long time. The walls and towers, of which the foundations were exposed, did not come into being until the first centuries after Christ.
Barrows
In the vicinity of Berg there are a large number of barrows from the Latène period , three of which were opened by the Federal Monuments Office in 2005 and 2006 . After the inn in Baum, the exhibition is now shown in the House of Culture in St. Georgen im Attergau.
