The Alte Hallesche Burschenschaft (AHB!) Rhenania-Salingia zu Düsseldorf is a colorful and striking student union in Düsseldorf based in the listed building at Reichsstrasse 21 in Unterbilk . It was created through a merger of the two old Halle fraternities (AHB!) Rhenania in Düsseldorf and Salingia in Münster on October 27, 1979. The “Student Shakespeare Association” was also merged into it on April 20, 1921. It traces its existence back to the establishment of the “Salingia zu Halle student association”, which was founded on December 17, 1845.

Connection history

History of the Salingia

Salingia was founded on December 17, 1845 as the "Salingia zu Halle student association" in Halle an der Saale, among others by Theodor Pösche . At that time, the combinations black-crimson-white for the ribbon and dark red for the hat were chosen as the colors. The foxes wore a black and crimson ribbon from then until today. Her motto was "Faithful, Feast, True" which was linked to the principles of science, morality, honesty and friendship. Back then, as now, there was no determination gauge , but full satisfaction .

In 1877 the Salingia was converted into the " Corps Salingia" and developed into the strongest connection in Halle. 19 years later the corps was converted into a fraternity and called itself "Burschenschaft Salingia Halle". On January 13th, 1898 the admission to the General Delegate Convent (ADC - forerunner of today's DB, see Deutsche Burschenschaft ) took place and the determination censorship was introduced.

After many active members (students) of the connection fell in World War I , the connection gradually returned to its old size and in 1920 acquired a new connection house . Already 15 years later the Salingia disbanded in 1935 at the insistence of the National Socialists at the Wartburg Festival , as the members refused to be transferred to the NSDStB at the time. Their continued existence was then only possible in secret and formed as a secret comradeship .

In 1951, former members re-founded Salingia in Münster, 16 years after its dissolution. The connection was now called "Old Hallesche Burschenschaft Salingia zu Münster". On May 21, 1967, the Salingia moved to Bochum and re-established itself, this time with the name “New Bochumer Burschenschaft Salingia”. Twelve years later, on October 27, 1979, Salingia merged with “AHB! Rhenania zu Düsseldorf "to the" Old Halleschen Burschenschaft Rhenania-Salingia zu Düsseldorf ".

History of Shakespereana

The Shakespereana was founded on November 10, 1864 as the "Student Shakespeare Association" by the writer Fritz Anders in Halle. Their motto was: "For what others think of us, that can give us piepe be piepe!" . This student association was initially just a relaxed, non-colored group based on personal contacts. There were no statutes at that time. Just like in the Salingia, there was no determination gauge but full satisfaction . In 1866 the Shakespereana joined the Association of Non-Color Students. From 1873 a black wank was worn.

From 1909 there was a trend reversal, which began with the Shakespereana henceforth calling itself the "Shakespereana Student Association" and from 1910 onwards it became colored. The ribbon was now the colors gold-black-gold (the colors of the House of Shakespeare) and the cap was black. Eight years later, in 1918, the Shakespereans joined the Allgemeiner Deutscher Burschenbund (General German Burschenbund) , as no designated graduation was required. On April 20, 1921, there was a merger with the Rhenania Halle fraternity in the ADB. The name Shakespereana was lost, but the founding date was carried over. From then on until today the Shakespereana ribbon has been worn to the Chargenwichs , as well as being worn by the speaker all the time .

History of the Rhenania

Rhenania was founded on July 11, 1911 as the “Burschenschaft Rhenania Halle” by members of the ADB inactive regulars in Halle. The founding boys were Müller, Fischer and Tietze. Everyone brought their own color. Müller, who belonged to the Vandalia Berlin fraternity, brought red with him. Fischer, who belonged to the Markomannia Munich fraternity, Gold and Tietze from the Avaria Munich fraternity, black. So her band had the colors black-gold-red on a white background. The hat was made of black velvet. Her motto was honor, freedom, fatherland . As with the Salingia and Shakespereana, there was no determination gauge , but full satisfaction .

In 1912 it was accepted into the Allgemeine Deutsche Burschenbund (ADB). Just like the Salingia, the Rhenania suffered many losses among the active because of the just ended First World War . This was one of the reasons why it merged with Shakespereana on April 20, 1921. Six years later a joint fraternity house was bought in Halle. In 1931 the Rhenania Halle fraternity chaired the ADB, but left the German fraternity in 1933 and at the same time joined the German fraternity . Many frets followed and so the ADB collapsed. In 1935, as with Salingia, it was dissolved, as the Nazi government also demanded that Rhenania join the NSDStB, but the latter refused and publicly dissolved. Their continued existence was also only possible in secret as comradeship. It was not until 1962 that the old gentlemen's association re-registered with the DB , and in 1965 Aktivitas was re-established at the new University of Düsseldorf . On October 27, 1979, Rhenania merged with Salingia to form AHB! Rhenania-Salingia in Düsseldorf.

Color

The boys wear two ribbons, one from the Rhenania and one from the Salingia. The colors of the Rhenania are black-gold-red from bottom to top and those of Salingia are also black-crimson-white from bottom to top. The incumbent speaker also wears the Shakesperean ribbon (gold-black-gold). The hat is black with a white attachment, red and gold ribbon. Foxes wear a ribbon in black and crimson. The motto is “ Honor, Freedom, Fatherland ”.

Inner structure

The AHB! Rhenania-Salingia zu Düsseldorf is a men's association and a life association of German academics, in which students after graduation become members of the old rulers of the fraternity, which supports Aktivitas financially and ideologically.

Fencing and scale length

The connection is optional, that is, all members have to learn the technique of academic fencing up to the so-called scale maturity. Striking a sharp scale is up to each individual, but is usually perceived by all members of the association. In 2019, the Rheinsalingen struck their first Pro-Patria suite after the Second World War.

Well-known speakers
