The Bonn fraternity Frankonia is a striking student union in Bonn.

history

The Bonn fraternity Frankonia was founded on December 11, 1845 by twelve students, their first spokesman was Bernhard Gudden . It was a spin-off from the general fraternity of Fridericia; the founders of Frankonia feared that the students' personal characteristics might be lost in too large a community. Therefore, from the beginning, value was placed on camaraderie and "inner refinement" with individual differences.

This became evident as early as 1848/49, when the Bonn-based Frankon Carl Schurz and some of his revolutionary-minded fraternity brothers (such as Adolf Strodtmann ) were able to deal peacefully and happily with conservative-minded Franconians.

In the decades to come, Bonn's Frankonia adapted itself to the tendencies of Wilhelminism as did the other connections. Inner values ​​have often given way to external ones. However, she always insisted on her independence, individual diversity and the strong bond between her relatives. Therefore, their membership has always been rather small.
The fraternity of Frankonia moved into the first house built for a corporation in Bonn in 1888 in today's Römerstrasse (then Rheindorfer Weg 13).
On July 11th, 1908, the "Verein Alter Bonner Franken" was founded and thus consolidated the principle of life union .

In August 1920 Frankonia bought the house at Baumschulallee 14 in Bonn. During the Rhenish separatism , the Bonn Franks campaigned for the Rhineland to remain in the German Empire, and some had to leave the zone of occupation.

At the beginning of National Socialism , Frankonia refused to demand from the management of the German fraternity to exclude members with “ Jewish infiltration ” because they wanted to adhere to the principle of the Lebensbund . Even the supporters of the NSDAP in Frankonia were not prepared to abandon their threatened Franconian brothers because the principle of lifelong comradeship seemed more important to them. In December 1934, the Frankonia merged with other like-minded fraternities to form the old fraternity - but it was unable to enforce its demands (including the rejection of the Führer principle ).

After lengthy negotiations with the NS student leadership , who wanted to switch all connections on, the Frankonia disbanded on October 20, 1935 and sold their house at Baumschulallee 14, which has since been used as a private clinic. As " Kameradschaft Heinrich von Treitschke ", a federal life could be maintained from 1940 on.

After 1945, Frankonia was re-established as the "Academic Carl-Schurz Association" at the University of Bonn , and in 1950 it was again allowed to use the name "Bonner Burschenschaft Frankonia". Frankonia has had its domicile at Lennéstraße 10, not far from the main university building and the Juridicum, since 1956.

In the time after the Second World War, the Franconians in Bonn were unwaveringly committed to German unity , even when this no longer seemed appropriate. As demonstrated Bonner francs in 1987 during the state visit of Erich Honecker against the human rights violations of the East and set in 1989 on the day of the fall of the Wall , a black-red-gold flag of the Beethoven - monument on Münsterplatz .

After a difficult debate, the Association of Old Bonn Francs decided to leave the German fraternity on June 29, 2013 due to its political tendencies, which had been the subject of discussion for years. Since then, the Bonn fraternity Frankonia no longer belongs to the umbrella organization, in whose founding it was involved.

particularities

Unlike many other connections, the Frankonia fraternity in Bonn has no fox band . The fox major is called "fox wreath leader".

The following are also typical of the Bonn Francs:

• the term "Franke" instead of "Frankone" since the 1880s
• the salutation "Frankenbruder" instead of "Bundesbruder"
• the term "Frankenschwester" for the widows of its members
• renouncing beer tips
• the eight-line body verse, which is written by the body boy on the peculiarities of his body fox and sung on the annual foundation day (celebrated internally in the Franks) .

Fraternity orientation

The Frankonia Bonn fraternity is compulsory (two compulsory grades). As a “white” fraternity , she pays special attention to their corporate coexistence and social manners. Since its inception, it has campaigned for the independence of the individual groups in the Association of German Burschenschaft .
Since 2006 there has been an official friendship between the activities of the fraternities Germania Königsberg zu Hamburg and Frankonia Bonn.
After leaving the German fraternity in 2014, Frankonia founded the Working Group of German fraternities (AdB) with the fraternities Germania Königsberg zu Hamburg, Alte Königsberg fraternity Alemannia in Kiel, Obotritia Rostock, Normannia Leipzig and the old Strasbourg fraternity Germania zu Tübingen .
