It looks as if an apostrophe is missing (crowd's or crowds'); also, shouldn't that be madding (or, possibly, meddling)?
Anyway, both words are in LEO:
Dictionary: ignoble
Dictionary: strife
I would think it means something like "weit weg vom gemeinen Zank der verrückten Menschen", "weit entfernt von den unwürdigen Streitereien des gemeinen Volkes" (presuming that it was "madding" and not "meddling"; I must admit I don't know how "Far from the Madding Crowd" was translated).

Sorry, I didn't see that this was a double posting. Better answers are to be found here: https://dict.leo.org/cgi-bin/dict/forum.cgi?a...

Thanks Dragon.
