coat of arms
Blazon : A silver goat growing under a golden shield head with three red leaf crowns in blue from a golden three-mountain. The community colors are red-white-blue.

The three crowns are a reference to the Ostlandfahrt described in the Nibelungenlied by the Burgundian kings Gunther, Gernot and Giselher, which, after crossing the Inn, led south of Passau on the land route through today's municipality. The red color of the crowns means the bloody end of this company. The Dreiberg speaks for the place name.
