AFFILIATIONS
NEUE MARXBRÜDERRe-established after a 300=year absence, the Neue Marxbrüder engages in the research and practice of HEMA in the spirit of the historic Frankfurt Fencing Association of Marxbrüder, St Marco and Löwenberg. Hans Talhoffer himself is believed to have been a member of the Association, perhaps even a founder, as the Lion of St Mark appears in his personal coat of arms displayed in his 1459 fechtbuch.
