The Kölner Fechtregeln ("Fencing Rules"; MS Best. 7020 (W*)150)[1] is an anonymous German fencing manual created around the turn of the 16th century.[2] It currently rests in the holdings of the Historisches Archiv der Stadt Köln in Cologne, Germany; it was housed in the wing of the Archive that collapsed on 3 March 2009,[3] but it was recovered and seems to have been undamaged.[4]
The Kölner Fechtregeln contains several verses resembling Johannes Liechtenauer's Recital, but it has few other obvious parallels to the teachings of the high master.[2] However, as James Acutt points out, it does bear a certain resemblance to the syllabus of the Marxbrüder fencing guild as described by Hans Sachs.[5]
Contents
Provenance

- before 1824 – acquired by scholar and collector Ferdinand Franz Wallraf (donated upon his death, 1824).
- 1824-present – held by the Historisches Archiv der Stadt Köln.
