history

In the summer semester of 1902, some Unitarians from Münster met regularly for a get-together at Gasthof Anker. This led to the founding of the "Unitas-Kränzchen Tübingen" on November 5, 1902, which is considered the hour of birth of the AV Cheruskia. The colors used were gold-white-blue. Shortly afterwards, in 1904, the Senate of the University of Tübingen recognized the Unitas Kränzchen as a full corporation. In 1905 they were given the name "Unitas Cheruscia".

Based on a convention resolution in 1911, it was decided to join the Cartell Association, whereupon the provisional admission took place on September 3, 1911. Instead of the old colors gold-white-blue, the connection was from now on orange-white-blue. The "c" in "Cheruscia" was replaced by the letter "k" for better pronunciation, so that the name was "Cheruskia". In August 1912 the Free Association Cheruskia was then unanimously accepted as the 77th association at the Aachen Cartel Assembly as a full member in the CV. In addition to the previous motto “ virtuti omnia parent ”, the principles of the Cartell Association religio, amicitia, scientia, patria were adopted. The “Hanskarle” at Schimpfeck acted as a connecting bar.

The Cheruskia was also badly hit by the First World War ; 15 Cherusci died in the war. After the end of the war, a new beginning began for the Cherusci, which brought with it an immense upswing; a fox stall of 30 new members was the order of the day. The upswing culminated in the acquisition of the house “Lenzei” in front of the Haagtor 1 , which was a milestone for the connection. The number of members increased steadily. Due to the high number of activities, the idea of building a new house became stronger, as the premises in the "Lenzei" no longer offered sufficient space.

But the so-called seizure of power by the National Socialists meant a deep cut for the plans of the AV Cheruskia. Although the company celebrated its 30th anniversary in the summer semester of 1934, the liaison system in Germany was restructured in the following winter semester. For Tübingen this meant that several corporations were merged into a comradeship. In October 1935, the Cartell Association resolved to dissolve itself , and in February 1936 the last pub took place on the Cheruskerhaus. 30 members lost their lives during the Second World War, and the fate of 30 other members remains unclear.

After the reconstitution of the CV and the re-establishment of the AH-Verband Tübinger Cherusker in Stuttgart in 1947, a new Aktivitas was established in May 1949 under the direction of some old men. In the summer semester of 1952, Aktivitas had 70 members again.

At the time, the focus was on the question of building new houses. After looking in vain for a suitable plot of land on the Tübingen Schlossberg, they finally found what they were looking for on the Österberg. When financing and planning were secured, the groundbreaking ceremony took place on October 2, 1955. Almost a year later, the “white house” on the Österberg was inaugurated. Over the years, the house has been steadily expanded and renovated to meet the respective needs. For the 90th foundation festival in 1992, extensive renovation work on the connection house was completed. In the years 1998-2000 the residential wing of the house was completely renovated. The 100th Foundation Festival in 2002 was certainly a highlight in the history of the association.

Some members brought the AV Cheruskia into the focus of the public and the national press at the traditional 57th punt race in 2013, when they were disqualified by the jury for "deliberate loss" and irregular behavior. As the first team in the history of the punt race, they demonstratively refused the punishment set out in the rules - drinking cod liver oil .

Couleur, motto, coat of arms and circle

Boy ribbon (orange-white-blue); Fox ribbon (orange-blue)

The AV Cheruskia Tübingen is colored. The colors of the Cheruskia Tübingen are orange, white and blue. The foxes wear a two-tone fox ribbon in orange and blue. The color also includes an orange hat in a small plate format. However, this is only worn on selected occasions such as the pub .

The motto is: " virtuti omnia parent ".

In the coat of arms of the Cheruskia the triple court flag and the Hermann monument on the Grotenburg in the Teutoburg Forest are shown. The triple court flag was the coat of arms of the Counts of Tübingen and later also of the city of Tübingen.

The Cheruskia leads a fraternity student circle . It is made up of the letters: TFCH and V. The specialty of the compass is that the T and F are merged into one letter in cursive. The T stands for Tübingen and the F for floreat. The letter C stands for crescat and in the combination Ch for Cheruskia. Written out the circle means vivat, crescat, floreat Cheruskia Tübingen . The "!" At the end indicates the active status of the student union.
