Official blazon
Zwei Schilde; rechts der Eichstätter Krümmstab; links: Geviert von Rot und Blau; in 1 und 4 auf vier silbernen Spitzen ein silberner Steinbock; in 2 und 3 eine silberne Lilie.
Origin/meaning
As was fashionable at the time, he used two shields as a bishop, one with the arms of the diocese and one with the personal arms. As cardinal he only used the personal arms.
The ibex on the rocks is a canting element, Schröffer means something like 'a place near the broken rocks'. The fleur-de-lys and the blue colour refer to St. Mary.
