Summary

Description
English: candidate locations of origin for Johannes Liechtenauer (places called Lichtenau, shown in red) and known locations of origin for members of the Society of Liechtenauer, according to the list by Paulus Kal (c. 1470). Following Ferdinand Massmann, "über handschriftliche Fechtbücher", Serapeum: Zeitschrift für Bibliothekwissenschaft, Handschriftenkunde, und ältere Litteratur, ed. Robert Naumann, 1844.[1]

Marked in red:

  • Lichtenau im Mühlkreis, Upper Austria
  • Lichtenau in Franconia, near Nuremberg
  • Lichtenau on the Rhine, near Strasbourg
  • Lichtenau in Hesse (Hessisch Lichtenau)
  • Lichtenau in Westphalia, near Paderborn

Marked in yellow:

  • Glatz (modern Kłodzko, Lower Silesia, Poland), for Hans Wildigans von Glatz; the surname Wildigans, Wildegans, Wildeganz is recorded as a German-Jewish surname from the 16th century.
  • Danzig (Gdansk, modern Poland) for Peter von Danzig; Danzig is furthest afield (from Kal, the author of the list, who served in Franconia and Bavaria, later also in Austria), but Peter von Danzig according to the testimony of Cod. 44A8 lived in Ingolstadt, Bavaria.
  • Znaim (modern Znojmo, Southern Moravia, Czech Republic), for Hans Spindler von Znaim
  • Prague, for Lamprecht von Prag
  • Erfurt (in modern Thuringia, Germany) for Hans Seydenfaden von Erfurt
  • Liegnitz (modern Legnica, Lower Silesia, Poland) for the brothers Andre and Jacob Lignitzer
  • Nuremberg (in modern Bavaria, Germany), for Hartman von Nürnberg
  • Wrocław, Poland, for Martin Hundsfeld(er); this master was likely from Hundsfeld (Psie Pole) in Poland (now a district of Wrocław), but Hundsfeld is also a former village near Hammelburg, Lower Franconia
  • Pegnitz, Upper Franconia (modern Bavaria, Germany), for Hans Pegnitzer
  • Krakow, Poland, for Viriglius von Krakau
  • Brunswick (Lower Saxony, Germany) for Dietherich, Degenfechter von Braunschweig

Members of the Society without attributed location:

  • Sigmund Amring: possibly a Rhinelander (which would make him the master of the most western origin in the group)
  • Philips Perger — Berger is an extremely frequent surname and may originate anywhere; if the spelling with P is distinctive, possibly from Perg in Upper Austria
  • Ott Jud (identified not by his place of origin but by his status as a baptized Jew; stated to have been a wrestler in the service of the dukes of Austria)
  • (Hans) Stettner, apparently (according to the internet, but on what evidence?) from Mörnsheim (near Eichstätt); in fact, Stettner is the surname of someone from Stetten; there are numerous places called with the name (but all of them are in Southern Germany or Switzerland); c.f. the modern surname.
