!!!Fähnrich Faehnrich, military rank in the Austrian army held by students at Austrian military academies until their promotion to Lieutenant. Historically the term Faehnrich referred to a soldier carrying the flag. Due to the lack of adequate uniforms, it was common until the early Renaissance for the soldiers in a regiment to gather around the Faehnrich in order to establish who was friend or foe. %%language [Back to the Austrian Version|AEIOU/Fähnrich|class='wikipage austrian'] %% [{FreezeArticle author='AEIOU' template='Lexikon_1995_englisch'}] [{ALLOW view All}][{ALLOW comment All}][{ALLOW edit FreezeAdmin}]
