Dendrono (Johann Georg Puschner, Nürnberg) - "Der fechtende Student" 1725, Kupferstich aus dem 18. Jahrhundert, Rechte abgelaufen, PUBLIC DOMAIN

Die Darstellung zeigt den Universitätsfechtboden von Altdorf, der Universität der Freien Reichsstadt Nürnberg. Ein von der Universität bestallter Fechtlehrer erteilt Unterricht.

Der fechtende Student

Es kan ein Musen Sohn, nicht allzeit friedlich leben,

Man pflegt ihm öfftermals, gelegenheit zu geben,

daß ob er sonsten gleich, die Stritigkeiten flieht,

er seinen Degen doch, auch von der Scheide zieht.

Wer keine Händel sucht, und pflegt sich nur zu wehren,

zur Schirmung seines Leibes, zur Rettung seiner Ehren,

der thut was ehrlich ist, Er wehrt sich was er kan,

und tastet an sich selbst, doch keinen Menschen an.

Dendrono (Johann Georg Puschner, Nürnberg) - "The Fencing Student" 1725, copper engraving from the 18th century, copyright has expired, PUBLIC DOMAIN

The image shows the university fencing school of Altdorf where the university of the free imperial city of Nürnberg was located. A university fencing instructor holds a lesson.

The fencing Student

A "son of the muses" [i.e. a student] cannot live peacefully all the time,

he oftimes gets the opportunity,

although he usually avoids trouble,

to pull his sword out of the sheath.

Who does not proactively search for trouble and only defends himself

in order to protect his body or to protect his honour,

he does what is honourable, he defends himself according to his capabilities,

but touches by himself no other person.
