Florianus Prinzel

Florianus Prinzel is a character of the Von Igelfeld novel series. He has known Von Igelfeld since schooling and currently works at the same university as him.

College Days
Prinzel went to the same college as Von Igelfeld, both of whom studied philology.

In spite of Prinzel's objections, Von Igelfeld thought that Prinzel would be a good athlete and spread rumors that he was.

On one particular occasion, Von Igelfeld went drinking with the dueling club and said that Prinzel was good at dueling, leading to a confrontation between Prinzel and one of the club members. During the duel the tip of Prinzel's nose was cut off.

When he was brought to the emergency room Von Igelfeld noticed that the doctor performing the surgery smelled of alcohol-his reservations were proven well founded when the surgeon stitched his nose back on upside down.

The only way Prinzel benefited from this duel was that it stopped Von Igelfeld from discussing Prinzel's athletic capabilities.

Personality
Prinzel has shown throughout the series to be morally superior compared to the other professors of the university.

Relationships
Moritz Maria Von Igelfeld-Prinzel met Von Igelfeld when the two were in college. Von Igelfeld admires Prinzel deeply.

Trivia

 * He once swam in a nuclear contaminated river.
 * The tip of his nose was sliced of in a duel, but stitched back on. Unfortunately, as the doctor was slightly drunk, the tip was stitched back on upside down.
