history

Afrania was founded in Leipzig in 1839 as a color-bearing and striking association . The name "Afrania" was adopted by students from the Princely School of St. Afra in Meissen, who began their studies in Leipzig and laid the foundation for Afrania there. This clearly referred to both the humanistic tradition of the Princely School and the Saxon origins of its founders. She was a founding member of the Goslar Chargierten Convent, founded in 1882 . The Afrania corporation was located at Steinstrasse 32 in Leipzig. In the mid-1930s, Afrania disbanded voluntarily in order to forestall the impending introduction of the Führer principle and the pressure to exclude Jewish members. After the factual ban on the connection during National Socialism , it was not possible to revive the connection in the newly founded GDR . In 1958 Afrania therefore found her new home in Heidelberg on the Neckar.

The Academic Landsmannschaft Saxo-Afrania zu Leipzig is committed to this tradition, in particular to its Saxon roots. This in turn merged on October 16, 2010 with the former Leipziger Landsmannschaft Plavia-Cheruscia Munich, supported by old men of the gymnastics association Arminia Cologne, to form the new Landsmannschaft Plavia-Arminia Leipzig .

She is a member of the Treubund .
