Shield parted by a fess wavy Argent, above Gules a plough share Argent, beneath Vert a triplemount issuant Argent.
Meaning:
The fess wavy is a representation of the Katzbach, a creek. Plough share and green colour are symbolising agriculture as main business line. The mount is a representation of the Buchberg, a local mountain, which also had been name giver of the Puchberger family. The tinctures red and white are those of the Benedictine Reichenbach Monastery. The village was donated to the monastery in 1135 by Margrave Diebold III of Cham-Vohburg.
