This is an ongoing project to create an exhaustive ordinary of Johann Siebmacher's Wappenbuch from 1605. I am working from the digitization of it available here. If you find any error, please let me know. As a work in progress, it will be updated as I have time.
All blazons are my own. Note that in some cases, shields with a helmet facing sinister have had their arms reversed as well (e.g., a bend is displayed as a bend sinister, the tinctures of the field reversed, etc. So if you think you've found an error, double check the helm on top!) Each blazon is identified with the name of the owner as it appears in Siebmacher, with these conventions: I have transcribed vocalic v as u, and expanded ē, Gē:, and V̄ to en, genannt, and Von, respectively. The number in parentheses is the plate number on which the arms occur.
Per pale argent and Or, a fox courant palewise gules and three bars gemel sable, von Wangenhein (127), von Wangenheim (148).
Per pale Or and argent, an eagle per pale sable and gules, von Rotenhausen (108).
Per pale Or and argent, the dexter half of an eagle issuant from the line of division sable and a cross gules, Memmingen (220).
Per pale Or and argent, the dexter half of an eagle issuant from the line of division sable and three roses proper, von Kromsdorf (146).
Per pale Or and argent, two axes addorsed counterchanged hafted argent, von Görlitz (156).
