Emblem of the emperor and King of the Holy Roman Empire

Siebmachers Wappenbuch refers to two heraldic multivolume book series of armorial bearings or coats of arms of the nobility within the Holy Roman Empire including Germany, Austria, Switzerland, etc.).

The Old Siebmacher

The Alte Siebmacher was compiled 1605-1806. First two volumes were started by Johann Sibmacher, engraver from Nuremberg. His work was continued to six volumes with additional supplements by Paul Fürst, Wolfgang Gottlieb Fürst, Rudolf Johann Helmers, Christoph Weigel the Elder and Gabriel Nikolaus Raspe. It has also been called Fürstsches Wappenbuch or Weigelsches Wappenbuch.

The New Siebmacher

The Neuer Siebmacher, Siebmacher's großes und allgemeines Wappenbuch was compiled 1854-1967 by Adolf Matthias Hildebrandt, Maximilian Gritzner, and Gustav A Seyler. The General-Index of the whole work has been edited by Hanns Jäger-Sunstenau. Later Ottfried Neubecker has published all burgher arms of the Siebmacher without the text as a sort of illustrated glossary according to the charges.
