Ernst Staberoh

Ernst Karl Hermann Gustav Otto Staberoh (born February 9, 1879 in Dresden , † January 8, 1943 in Leipzig ) was the last fencing master at the University of Leipzig .

Staberoh came from a family of fencing masters in Dresden. Ernst Wilhelm Staberoh was a fencing master in the Saxon Army who was a relative, possibly even his father. Staberoh succeeded Paul Roux in 1923 after he had switched to administrative service. He was employed at the Institute for Physical Exercise under Hermann Altrock , who had finally established the institute prepared by Hermann Kuhr .

“The position of a paid university fencing master was no longer filled. Ernst Staberoh, who followed Roux in 1923, only received it with the right to lead the title. All provisions regarding the implementation of student fencing and the rights and duties of the university fencing masters, some of which were valid for centuries, were no longer valid. "

With the rise of the National Socialists and the dissolution of the weapons student corporations in 1935/36, on whose students he ultimately lived, the fencing master at the University of Leipzig apparently did not immediately lose his function, because he was in the personnel and course directories of the University of Leipzig until 1937 / 38 listed as university fencing master. He then came to the Leipzig University Library in 1938 as an unskilled worker. He remained in this position until 1942.
