The two cousins ​​Johann Conrad (* 1628 in Neuburg; † 13 April 1696 in Vienna), accountant and licensed lawyer appointed to the Lower Austrian countryside, later a Lower Austrian lawyer, and Johann Ignaz, doctor of law and court counsel in Vienna, later Imperial Councilor and secret advisor to Kaiser Leopold I received on January 27, 1673 in Vienna the confirmation of the nobility granted to their grandfather as well as the predicate "von Albrechtsburg" and an improvement of the coat of arms. In 1687 they also received the Hungarian indigenous community. Johann Conrad acquired the Volkra-Hof and its accessories in Stockerau in 1682. He had the building rebuilt by 1688, including the later Belvedereschlössl, and in 1690 obtained the new name Freisegg (Freysegg) for the small manor. The latter was sold to the entrepreneur Josef Stefsky in 1832 .

Johann Ignaz (born June 4, 1647 in Linz (baptism); † August 22, 1705 in Vienna ) became an attorney in Vienna in 1670 after completing his law studies, later Imperial Councilor and secret secretary at the Court Chancellery. On December 13th, 1702 he was accepted as a farmer in the knightly class in Lower Austria and introduced on December 29th of the year and was still dean of the law faculty at the university there in 1680. In 1694/95 he acquired six vineyards in the Viennese suburb of Mariahilf and had the Albrechtsburg summer palace built on them between 1695 and 1698 , which is attributed to Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach , which was acquired after 1750 by Wenzel Anton Graf von Kaunitz . Also in 1705, shortly before his death, he bought the Strannerstorf estate and the Kölberharz office from the Hofmann von Eydliz gentlemen. With his wife Maria Helena, daughter of the imperial council and court chamber registrar Johann Melmeck, he fathered eight children, including three sons, Franz Ignatz, Conrad Ferdinand and Johann Jordan (* 1681 in Vienna), Upper Austrian district administrator in Austria above the Enns and later Reichshofrat . On June 16, 1707, Franz Ignatz and Johann Jordan were also accepted as country people in the new knighthood of the landscape in Austria ob der Enns.

Conrad Ferdinand (* 1675; † November 16, 1730 in Eggenburg , parish church) was professor of theology, princely Passau consistorial councilor and city pastor of Eggenburg, infuled provost to Eisgarn from 1702 to 1705 , then infuled provost of the provost of Zwettl am Berg in 1718 had the nave vaulted. At the beginning of the 18th century, the provost set up his summer residence and a collection point in the Felberhof on the Schmida near Eggenburg, until then a dye mill , which was essentially rebuilt for this purpose. A grain mill was also built in 1710.

Franz Ignatz (born March 31, 1679 in Vienna (baptism); † March 2, 1731 ibid), Mr. zu Strannerstorf, also a lawyer, did his doctorate at the University of Prague in 1702 with the dissertation "Iurisprudentia extemporalis". In 1702 he was a member of the Lower Austrian government, from 1710 he was the landlord, then Raitherr , and from 1723 to 1729 he was an officer of the knightly class, after being accepted into the old knightly class on September 12, 1712. His wife was Apollonia Edle von Schick († 1762), with whom he had four sons, of whom Friedrich Franz and Johann Joseph died young. The eldest, Johann Ignatz Carl († December 15, 1774), was Lord of Strannerstorf, Kölberharts (1699) and the Freysegg estate and a Lower Austrian regional law assessor. He married Maria Anna Freiin von Prandau, the widow of his cousin Johann Raymund. With her he had a son, Stephan, who died in 1772 at the age of 15, and three daughters, Maria Anna, Barbara and Theresia. With his brother Johann Baptist Conrad († February 10, 1785), Augustinian and Canon with St. Dorothea, this line in the male line became extinct.

Another line was founded by Johann Conrad († April 13, 1696 in Vienna). He was secretary, then syndic of the Lower Austrian provincial governments. With the resolution of January 4, 1683, Emperor Leopold I had set up a special commission to lead the "defense system" against the Turks. The Lower Austrian estates set up a similar institution to which Johann Konrad also belonged under the direction of Count Otto Ehrenreich von Abensperg-Traun. After his death, he was buried in the Minorite Monastery in Vienna , in the family crypt he had donated next to the St. John's Altar. With his wife Catharina Helena Dragoni († 1698 in Vienna), he fathered the sons Georg Ernst and Joseph Augustin and two daughters, one of whom Maria Anna Helena was married to Georg Gottlieb Edlen Eckhardt von der Thaan . Joseph Augustin (born February 12, 1682 in Vienna (baptism); † 1758), lord of the Hadres estate , was a Lower Austrian Raitherr from 1730 to 1736 and an Imperial and Royal Landscape Councilor there from 1736 to 1742, then a member of the committee and assessor of the Land Marshal court and real first orphan council. His marriage to Maria Martha von Sternfeld († before April 19, 1738) in Vienna on July 21, 1720 remained childless.

Georg Ernst († July 19, 1699 in Vienna), secretary of the Lower Austrian state estates, had four children, two sons and two daughters with his wife Anna Margarethe Ganser, including Johann Raymund, who continued the tribe.

Johann Raymund († December 1, 1757 in Vienna, Conductor), lord of the manor and noble estate Freysegg near Stockerau, was accepted into the new Lower Austrian knightly class on April 27, 1726 and in 1735 into the old ones, as his forefathers had not yet been country people , was from 1741 to the end of 1746 the Lower Austrian landscape, then Raitherr. On May 2, 1753, he took the oath to ordain the knighthood for Lower Austria. He was married four times, first to Cäcilia von Popowitsch, secondly to Maria Rosina von Mayersfeld, then to Maria Anna Klara von Hörnigk and finally to Maria Anna Freyin Hillebrand von Prandau.

Maria Rosina von Mayersfeld's son Antonius († 1766), who died at the age of 16, and Maria Rosina, who also died as a child, came from Maria Rosina von Mayersfeld. From his marriage to Maria Anna Klara von Horneck (Hörnigk) († after 1759), the daughters Maria Anna Johanna Sabina (born October 26, 1752 in Vienna; † April 27, 1805 ibid, buried in Ober Sankt Veit ), the Johann Baptist Ritter von Waldstätten (1745–1785), Imperial and Royal Lower Austrian District Administrator, married and had nine children, as well as Ernestina (* 1754: † March 10, 1801 in Vienna), married to the Hofrat at the Imperial and Royal Supreme Court of Justice and Truchsess Franz Georg Ritter von Keeß . The widow Anna Klara married Johann Raymund's cousin Ignaz soon after (July 1758) and the child from this further marriage, Barbara, was born in August 1759.

This sex has become extinct in the male line. This family must not be confused with the contemporary family of Albrecht , to which, for example, Conrad Adolph von Albrecht belonged, which also has a completely different coat of arms.
