The Berlin fraternity Arminia refers to two fraternities that refer to a student association founded on June 2, 1818 at the Berlin universities. With other fraternities she was involved in the founding of various fraternity associations - such as the Eisenacher Burschenbund and the Allgemeine Deputierten-Convent .

The Berlin fraternity Arminia split in 2006 into two fraternities, one part of the German fraternity (DB), which represents a nationalist nationalism, left and continues as a pure old men association . The other part is a member of the DB and the fraternity community (BG), which is on the far right of the corporate scene .

history

Old Berlin fraternity

After the wars of liberation and the return of the students to their university locations, the fraternity idea, starting from Jena , spread throughout Germany (see history of student associations , original fraternity ). Based on this, the Berlin fraternity was founded on June 2, 1818 in Berlin by Adolf Lette , Ludwig Christ and Karl von Wangenheim , among others , and after a short time had over 50 members. As a result of the Karlovy Vary resolutions in 1819, it was dissolved, but continued to exist in secret as a convectorium before it was renamed the Berlin fraternity Arminia for the first time on June 18, 1820. Arminia was disbanded officially in March 1821, the members were opened out as a Court of Honor together again until the May 30, 1822 32 members of the association of the University relegated were and it ceased to exist de facto. Fraternity-minded students tried again and again in the next few years to carry the urburschenschaftliche idea further, as Alemannia in the years 1832/33, but without being able to exist permanently. Around Easter 1847 students with fraternity ideals came together again and on July 12, 1848 founded a fraternity Teutonia with the colors violet-white-gold, which was emphatically liberal-democratic and was banned in May 1853 under the influence of the reaction. Former Teutons then joined forces with other students on July 12, 1853 to form the Arminia fraternity , they chose the colors red-white-gold with white caps. This Arminia saw itself as a continuation of Teutonia, but could not last and was suspended in the winter semester of 1856/57.

Brandenburgia / Arminia fraternity

On November 12, 1859, a new fraternity - the Brandenburgia - was founded in Berlin - independent of the old Berlin fraternity - but also wore the colors red-white-gold, albeit with red strikers. On May 15, 1860 she declared herself a Berlin fraternity , now with the old fraternity colors black-red-gold. The Berlin fraternity took over the existing inventory of the old Teutons and Armines and had to call itself Brandenburgia again from 1864 after disputes with the Germania, which had since emerged with the participation of members who had resigned . In the same year she was involved in the founding of the Eisenacher Burschenbund , but resigned from it in 1866. On July 30, 1875, it was renamed Arminia . She was also involved in founding the General Convention of Deputies in 1881. Due to a lack of members, Arminia had to suspend in 1883, but was reestablished in the same year by the Free Fraternity of Marchia . Suspended again in 1885 and reopened in 1893, Arminia was dissolved by the authorities in 1898, but re-established as Palaio-Teutonia on December 18, 1898 . In 1901 she was able to call herself back to Arminia .
With the admission of some former members of the Old Berlin Burschenschaft on the occasion of the 50th Foundation Festival in 1909, the tradition of the Old Berlin Burschenschaft was adopted and the foundation date of June 2, 1818 was adopted.
With other like-minded fraternities, the Arminia founded the Red Direction on January 10, 1920 , a cartel within the German fraternity . In 1932, the former RSC - Corps Cimbria joined the Arminia as a
whole , whose old gentlemen's association was henceforth called Arminia-Cimbria .

History of the Corps Cimbria

Circle of the Corps Cimbria Berlin

The Corps Cimbria was founded on December 1, 1870 as an academic choral society for students at the Royal Prussian Military Veterinary Academy. The colors chosen were green-silver-red, which were not worn. Unconditional satisfaction was introduced from 1890, and conference censorship was finally permitted from 1893. On April 18, 1910, Cimbria declares itself to be the color-bearing association with red caps and at the same time introduces the censorship of determination. From December of the same year it forms the SC of the Military Veterinary Academy with the Corps Arminia and Obotritia. In the First World War, 21 cimbres fell.

After the war, Cimbria also opened up to non-veterinarians and joined the Rudolstadt Seniors' Convent on January 27, 1920 as the renouncing corps ; after its final admission in December 1920, the cartel that had existed since 1897 with the Dresden Corps Teutonia (later Gothia) renewed. In the course of the Köthen crisis, Cimbria left the RSC in 1929 and on April 23, 1932, 244 Cimbri were accepted into the Arminia fraternity. In the further course, numerous cimbres resigned or fell in the war, so that in 1957 80 former cimbres still wore the bracelet.

Dissolution and a new beginning

As part of the DC circuit of the fraternities by the NSDStB also had to Arminia in June 1936 to resolve. In the period that followed , attempts were made to continue the connection as the Riemann comradeship - based on the first spokesman for the original fraternity .

After the Second World War , Arminia was re-established as an active fraternity in October 1949. In 1951 she got her own house in Berlin-Lichterfelde , but it was sold in 2007. Aktivitas has been adjourned since the late 1960s.

Separation of the old rulers

After the resumption of active operations in 2004, the old owners separated from Aktivitas in 2006 due to differences in political orientation and left the DB in 2011 due to the umbrella association's shift to the right. The Aktivitas remained in the DB and the fraternity and continues the name. In June 2013, members of Aktivitas founded an old gentry belonging to the active federal government after completing their studies.

Couleur and house

The colors of Arminia are the fraternity and German national colors black, red and gold . In the 1920s Arminia had a corporation house in Berlin-Friedenau , but after the merger with Cimbria took over their house on Englische Strasse, which was destroyed in World War II. After the war, Arminia first shared a house with the Rugia fraternity in Dahlem, and later resided in Holbeinstrasse in Berlin-Lichterfelde until 2007. In the meantime, the Aktivitas events took place at the house of the Berlin fraternity of Märker . Since 2010 the Berlin fraternity Arminia (id DB) has its own domicile again.

Conditions

The Arminia branch that remained in the German fraternity forms the North German cartel together with the Normannia Heidelberg and Germania Cologne fraternities . There is also a friendly relationship with the Teutonia Vienna fraternity .
