Well, many swords look alike. Only the small details can tell the difference. It's a mid-18th century military piece. Sword makers from Solingen supplied swords for many countries, not only for German states or Austria.
If it doesn't have any unit markings or serial numbers it could mean that's an officer's sword, the officer's private property. I'll suggest infantry or maybe light cavalry, 1820-1860.
If you're hell-bent to identify it you may try to register and post some pictures here:
