Image description

Armbrustschiessen. Die Armbrust (Arm-Ruste, nach latein. arcuballista), eine der altesten, wohl urspr. orientalischen Waffen, ist eine Vervollkommnung des Pfeilbogens. Die Durchschlagskraft der Bolzen zwang dazu, die Rustung immer schwerer zu machen, bis schliesslich ein Gepanzerter sich kaum noch bewegen konnte. Auch die alten Schutzengilden (Sebastiangilde i. Rheinland) trugen die Armbrust. Translation: Crossbow Shooting. The crossbow (arm-ruste, after Latin arcuballista), one of the oldest, probably originally oriental weapons, is a perfection of the arrow bow. The penetrating power of the bolts forced the armor to become heavier and heavier, until finally an armored person could hardly move. The old guardian guilds (Sebastian guild i. Rhineland) also wore the crossbow. Illustration for Deutsche Kulturbilder, 1400-1900 (Cigaretten-Bilderdienst Hamburg-Bahrenfeld, 1934).
