Guests can take part in the dance course and the musical groups free of charge.

Other regular events include lectures, excursions, themed evenings, convents , pubs , foundation festivals and balls .

Contacts to other student associations exist within the SV umbrella association , as well as to student associations in Marburg.

history

Fridericiana Marburg was founded on December 8, 1889 in the Hansenhaus in Marburg as a student choir (SGV) , the statutes (drawn up by Friedrich "Friedel" Weiß based on the Göttingen model), coat of arms and circles and the name were unanimously adopted. The SGV Fridericiana was the eighth student association on site. For a time it was the largest student union on site (peak in the summer semester of 1907 with 134 active members).

The foundation colors were blue-gold-red. The change of the colors to (still today) black-moss green-red on July 25, 1891 was made with the Corps Teutonia due to the same color (only different arrangement).

Naming

The name association already pointed to the black principle , in the wake of which one understood one another, i.e. H. Rejection of ribbon, cap and compulsory graduation .

Speculations about the origin of the name Fridericiana have not stopped to this day. The theory that it comes from the first name of the initiator of the association, Friedrich Weiß, can be ruled out with certainty. There was no evidence of this either from Richard Thielemann, the first chronicler of the Fridericiana, or from the records of the first scribe, Walbaum. A second theory is based on a sentence in Thielemann's history of the SGV Fridericiana Marburg from 1914, which says that (after the rejection of Normannia as a tribal name) the names Guilhelma and Fridericiana were available (since 1888 was the year of the Three Emperors with Wilhelm I , Friedrich III. And Wilhelm II. Was). According to this theory, the suggested names indicate the will of a connection to the Hohenzollern imperial family as a whole, which is also supported by the fact that the busts of all three emperors later adorned the pub in Lahnlust. The third, probably most probable theory relates the name only to Friedrich III. This is confirmed by Thielemann, who writes that the name Fridericiana "was deliberately chosen ... in memory of Emperor Friedrich III". If, however, a connection to the imperial family had been strived for, Guilhelma would have been chosen as the name of the actually more typical representatives of the Hohenzollern family. Likewise, the theory of naming according to Friedrich III. supported by his pronounced sense of art.

The foundation

The then rector of the Philipps University of Marburg , Herrmann, had concerns as to whether the SGV Fridericiana Marburg would compete with the already existing “Academic Concert Association of the University”. A convention resolution then obliged all members of the Fridericiana to participate in the Concert Society. Thereupon the university music director Richard Barth (whose circle of friends included Johannes Brahms ) took over the musical direction of the Fridericiana, which had a lasting impact on the musical guidelines of the association.

Richard Barth, who was made an honorary member at the first foundation festival, also wrote the melody of the federal song of the Fridericiana (text: Friedrich Weiß) and the federal saying.

After the departure Barths from Marburg in 1894 gen Hamburg took over Gustav Jenner musical direction and joined in 1899 the succession Barth as a university music director of.

Time of the First World War

After the outbreak of World War I , the liaison house was made available to the German Red Cross as a hospital for lightly wounded people . Federal life was continued in a reduced form (an average of 20 people), as 72 of the 120 active members had to join.

In 1923 , in the wake of inflation, the "Fridericianer Mark" was brought into being: At the beginning of the month, each member brought his monthly change to the Bbr. Neumann and was paid a corresponding sum in its own currency, the so-called Friderician mark (1 mark = 4.20 Friderician mark based on the long-term Reichsmark rate), which remained stable over the month, and from which as many everyday goods as possible were bought in advance. Some citizens of Marburg also joined in.

Time of the Second World War

After Hitler came to power, the active alliance held on for three years, albeit under certain reprisals, until the continued existence of the active alliance became impossible in the course of the conformity with the system and the prohibition of double membership in corporations and party branches.

On February 22, 1936, the Fridericiana officially dissolved with a solemn final commers . From 4th to 6th August 1939, however, the 50th foundation festival was celebrated.

On October 28, 1939, a musically oriented Kameradschaft XIII was founded on the house, which continued the Friderician tradition, and on February 8, 1942 it was renamed Kameradschaft Wolfram von Eschenbach .

On September 27, 1942, the old gentlemen's association was absorbed into the Nazi old gentry because otherwise the house would have been taken from them.

post war period

On October 4, 1948, the old gentlemen's association was re-established. The first general Friderician meeting after the war took place in July 1949 .

The re-establishment of the Aktivitas as a student union Fridericiana with a conscious musical orientation then took place in November 1949 in the bowling alley on the house.

In the 1950s the choir and orchestra were rebuilt independently. In 1953 the name was changed to AMV Fridericiana.

In 1979 the “Association of female music students” was founded, in fact the counterpart to the purely male activity of the time. In 1992 both went into a joint activity.

Known members

The fraternity house

In the absence of a house of their own, the members initially met in a club room: the Café Quentin on the upper Steinweg in Marburg .

Since July 1911 the Fridericiana has had its own house on Lutherstrasse in Marburg, which it built itself as a connection house . In its conception it is similar to the house of the student choir of the Georgia Augusta in Göttingen. It still exists today after it was used as a military hospital by the German Red Cross in World War I and temporarily confiscated by the Americans in World War II.
