Andres Juden (Andres "the Jew"), the priest Hans Döbringer, Jobs von der Nissen, and Nicklass Preußen are four 14th century German fencing masters in the tradition of Johannes Liechtenauer. None of these men is mentioned by Paulus Kal as being a member of the Society of Liechtenauer with the possible exception of Andres the Jew (which could be a reference to Andre Liegniczer).

Attributed to these four masters is an addendum to Liechtenauer's Recital which primarily discusses fencing from the guard Eisen Pforte ("the iron gate"), a variant on Alber. Sigmund Schining ain Ringeck also treated fencing from this guard in his addendum to Liechtenauer's teachings, but there is little technical overlap between the two teachings.
