Is this a photo of one of the old Heidelberg fencing clubs? I remember seeing photos of Prussian officers with their sabre scars. It was a good rite of manhood.
I think Germany has banned the practice now. "Everything that isn't mandatory is prohibited" in the New Germany, and everywhere else.
"In every battle the eyes are the first to be conquered..."
- Tacitus, Germania
"One must work in solitude as a man who opens a clearing in virgin forest, sustained by the unique hope that somewhere in its depths, others are working to the same end."
- Ernst Jünger
"I find that I must go handsomely, whatever it costs me, and the charge will be made up in the fruit it brings."

See modern university is so much better.
Didn't the old Heidelberg fencing clubs/University use face shields that only allowed wounds on certain parts of the face?
