Shield parted of Argent over Gules by a bendy stair with two steps, over all a sword in bend sinister in counterchanged tinctures.
Meaning:
The stair is the heraldic symbol of the Seiboldsdorf kin, being manorial lord and owner of the low level cognisance in the local district (Bavarian: Hofmark) from 1549 until the 19th century. The sword, an attribute of St. Alban, is alluding to the namesake village, which had been a place of pilgrimage.
