Heidelberg is not only the place of the oldest university of Germany, it was also the host of the German University Championship in the single disciplines in fencing. Altogether, nine students competed for Aachen. Daniel Zschätzsch reached the eighth place and Miriam Koller the sixth place for sabre fencing. Moreover, Lena Lärm on the one hand was sixth in woman’s foil, and on the other also won bronze in épée fencing due to her magnificent performance.
