Askania-Burgundia has its roots in a Catholic reading circle that was founded to be a point of contact for Catholic students in Protestant Berlin. The club is non-striking and non-colored. The principles of the association are religio (religion), scientia (science) and amicitia (friendship). The purpose of the association is to promote talented Catholic students in Berlin and Brandenburg and to educate them to be tolerant of those who think differently. The patron saint of the covenant is St. Augustine . The association has the colors black-gold-black.

history

Georg Graf von Hertling as a student

In 1853 the club was founded as an academic Catholic reading club in Berlin. It emerged from a group of Catholic students who gathered around the convert and young Prussian legation secretary Friedrich von Kehler , including Johann Friedrich Schulte and the later professor of mathematics Elwin Bruno Christoffel .

Soon, mainly due to the work of Georg von Hertling (who later became Chancellor in Imperial Germany), who was the club's steward at the time, the reading club was transformed into a Catholic student association. During the Kulturkampf , Askania-Burgundia developed into an important meeting place for Catholic students in Berlin.

At the beginning of the 20th century, Askanen-Burgunden-Haus-GmbH was founded, which soon acquired a property in Englische Straße near the Technical University for the purpose of meeting . Although there were more than 100 casualties among the federal brothers in World War I , the community experienced a new boom in the twenties due to the great influx of people.

The National Socialists finally banned the association because, as an independent Catholic community, it was a thorn in the side of those in power. During the Second World War , the property on Englische Strasse was completely destroyed by the effects of the war. After the end of the war, with the consent of the Allied occupying powers, the club was resumed. In 1959 a new corporation house was acquired at Pücklerstrasse 24 in Berlin-Dahlem, not far from the Free University .

Corporation house

Askania's first own premises could be rented in 1906. The club premises were rented at Motzstrasse 8 and later at Steglitzer Strasse 26.

The first suggestions for acquiring their own corporation house came from Burgundia. Five Askanen and Burgundy Philistines based in Berlin formed the Askanen-Burgunden-Haus GmbH on October 18, 1907. On October 25, 1907, the company was able to acquire the first corporation house in Englische Strasse 13 in Berlin-Charlottenburg. The KStV Burgundia was on the mezzanine floor and the KStV Askania on the first floor. Faxing's apartment was in the basement. The house was completely destroyed in the course of the bombing of Berlin during World War II.

The Stuttgart Aktivitas of Burgundia found its first home on the house of the KAV Rheno-Nicaria in the KV in Stuttgart. This hospitality was granted from the winter semester 1947/48 until the renting of a house in 1961. The personal development of Aktivitas prompted the house building association in 1969 to give up the house in Nagelstrasse 4. In 1973 the house building association of Burgundia Stuttgart was dissolved.

House in Dahlem

After the end of the Second World War and the destruction of the first corporation house, the KV-Heim at Prager Platz 6 in Berlin-Wilmersdorf was inaugurated on May 1, 1952. The KStV Askania-Berolina (KStV Askania again after February 27, 1953) and the KStV Tannenberg Königsberg used the KV-Heim. In 1956 the KV-Heim moved to Hohenzollerndamm 201. Since 1957 the KV-Heim has been used by the KStV Askania, the KStV Burgundia and the KStV Tannenberg Königsberg. In December 1958 the second corporation house at Pücklerstrasse 24 in Berlin-Dahlem was acquired. This house was built in 1927 for the director of the Märkische Elektrizitätswerke Warrelmann and is not far from the Free University . It is an expressionist brick building that was designed by the building construction office of the Märkische Elektrizitätswerke and the architects' office Issel and Klingenberg . In January 1960 the three Berlin KV clubs moved in. After the postponement of the Tannenberg in 1969 and the postponement of the Aktivitas of Burgundia in the 1970s, the house was used by the KStV Askania alone.

Since the merger of Askania and Burgundia to form the KStV Askania-Burgundia in 1981, the corporation house at Pücklerstraße 24 has been available to the only commercial association in Berlin.

Conditions

The KStV Askania-Burgundia is counted among the founding associations due to its structure to other associations within the KV. There are friendly relationships with the four founding associations KStV Unitas Breslau (since 1872, today KStV Unitas Breslau zu Cologne), KStV Arminia Bonn (since 1864), KStV Germania Münster (since 1865), KStV Walhalla Würzburg (since 1865). The relationship with the KStV Unitas Breslau and Cologne has existed unbroken since 1872 and is based on an older relationship from 1864.

The KStV Askania-Burgundia maintains relationships with two subsidiary associations. By splitting the KStV Askania Berlin, the KStV Guestphalia Berlin was created in 1902 (today KStV Guestphalia Berlin zu Frankfurt am Main). In 1927, through the division of the KStV Burgundia Berlin, the KStV Rheinpreussen Berlin (today KStV Abraxas-Rheinpreussen Dresden) was created.

Within the Berlin local cartel of the KV, friendly relations with the KStV Semnonia Berlin (founded in 1911, subsidiary of the KStV Guestphalia Berlin) and between 1952 and 1969 with the KStV Tannenberg Königsberg in Berlin were maintained until 1935.

Trivia

The current corporation house is regularly used as a filming location for film and series projects due to its well-preserved historical condition. Both the exterior and interior of the house can be seen in the productions Babylon Berlin and Ku'damm 56, among others.
