Friedrich August Wilhelm Ludwig Roux
Friedrich Wilhelm August Ludwig Roux (born May 20, 1817 in Gotha ; † June 2, 1897 in Jena ) was a German fencing master.
After completing high school in Meiningen , he was initially secretary to the Duke of Saxony-Meiningen. From July 1, 1839, he was employed as a fencing master at the University of Jena . Several of his ancestors and descendants were, if not only in Jena. So one can certainly speak of a fencing master dynasty.
He introduced bat fencing in Jena after the student Adolph Erdmannsdörffer had died in 1845 while being shocked . He wrote several books on push and cut fencing. He himself revised a work by the former university fencing master Wilhelm Kreussler . Building on the work of his father, his son Ludwig Cäsar Roux , who was a fencing master at the University of Leipzig , wrote a book on the art of slash fencing , which is still regarded today as a standard work in the case of the striking connections. His son Paul Roux was also a fencing master in Leipzig.
