The Ebersberger Forst (forest) is one of Germany’s largest continuous area of woodlands[dubious – discuss].

Ebersberg’s history is closely tied with the nearby Benedictine monastery founded in 934 by the Counts of Sempt.

On January 18, 1634, during the Thirty Years War, Ebersberg was the site of a skirmish between Habsburg troops and local peasants.

The peasants, being poorly armed, were quickly defeated by the Imperial forces and around 200 were killed.

Ebersberg’s civic coat of arms consists of a gold background with a black boar standing on a green three-knolled hill (Dreiberg, in German heraldry) on the shield’s right edge (from the armsbearer’s point of view – the left edge from the viewer’s) sloping upwards.
