2013 Saxony Open European Fencing Championships for Medical Professions
The 17th European Fencing Championships for Medical Professions will be held on September 14th in Bad Elster. Launched in 1997, the tournament has since become a long-standing tradition among physicians and all sports enthusiasts working in the medical profession. The event was launched in Saarbrücken in conjunction with a sports medicine and sports science symposium. The then DFB President, Erika Dienstl, added the tournament to the official DFB calendar under its previous name, the German Doctors and Pharmacists Championships. From 1998 to 2004, the tournament was held annually in Dillingen by the FSG. The original idea was to rotate the tournament among the federal states, but this dream has not yet come true. Until now, only the fencers in Schkeuditz and Bad Elster have taken advantage of this. In 2005, the fencers of FSG Dillingen and FC Schkeuditz jointly hosted the ninth tournament on the occasion of the World Championships in Leipzig. The first small anniversary, namely the championship, was celebrated again in Dillingen in 2006 – again with a symposium to mark the club’s 75th anniversary. Since the fifth tournament in 2001, the tournament has been expanded and renamed the Open European Doctors and Pharmacists Fencing Championships. And in 2003, it was renamed the Open European Fencing Championships for Medical Professions. In 2007, 2008, and 2010, the fencers were guests in Schkeuditz and in 2009 in Bad Elster; in 2011, the 15th edition was once again held in Dillingen. This year, Bad Elster will not only host sporting competitions, but also a symposium on continuing education for physicians on September 15th. We invite all fencers in the medical profession to this tournament. The competition announcement is available on the club’s website www.fechten-badelster.de in German, English, and French, as well as an email address for contact. We will send interested parties the tournament brochure upon request. Gabriele Weidhase
