Der Bettelstudent (The Beggar Student) is an operetta in three acts by Carl Millöcker with a German libretto by Camillo Walzel (under the pseudonym of F. Zell) and Richard Genée, based on Les noces de Fernande by Victorien Sardou and The Lady of Lyons by Edward Bulwer-Lytton.
However, the librettists added the element of combining love and politics to the French comedy plots. It premiered in Vienna in 1882. A West German film adaptation The Beggar Student was directed by Werner Jacobs in 1956.
