Life

Ludwig Cäsar Roux was the son of the Jena fencing master Friedrich August Wilhelm Ludwig Roux . Oskar Roux wrote a family chronicle in which he is also described.

Roux was not like his father fencing master in Jena, but at the University of Leipzig , although he with his father in 1863 as an unpaid champion of worked until he took the paid position as a fencing champion in Leipzig. 1865 He succeeded the university fencing master Gustav Berndt, who died in 1864 . He condensed his father's art of bat fencing in his book, so that this work, published in 1885, is still regarded as a standard work for mensurfing fencing today. His son Paul Roux was also a fencing master in Leipzig.

Roux was a member of the Leipzig Freemason Lodge Minerva to the three palms since 1877.

The son of the lawyer and jubilee rector of 1909 Karl Binding , Rudolf Georg Binding, dealt with this person and that of his son in 1911 in the novella "Die Waffenbrüder".
