Encouragement
Siegfried Schindelmeiser, probably the most important chronicler of Königsberg student life, writes:
“The pub wasn't big, so that the whole SC couldn't find room. It must have simply been equipped. Pauly (p. 35) describes them as "terribly uncomfortable". But he praised their bowling alley and the location on the castle pond with the opportunity to go boating. Food and drinks were good, especially inexpensive. The landlord, a former musician, also had a thing for the needs of the students; he was particularly willing to borrow. A friendly relationship developed between his family and the guests. When Malchen, the landlord's daughter, married in 1852, Baltia presented her with a present. The Masurians gave her the same recognition of her "activity and liveliness". "
Before the time of the corps houses , the Königsberger Corps celebrated the official pubs on different days of the week at Brunner, Baltia on Thursday, Masovia on Friday and Silber-Litthuania on Saturday. There were open and closed bars. The open ones took place two to three times during the semester. They were made known through newspaper advertisements and had the purpose of introducing (non-incorporated) muli to active life and encouraging them to join. All strangers were invited as guests. These included the members of the Bünder who belonged to the Kneip cartel. The drinks were paid for from the cash register or paid for through contributions.
For the routine , a certain amount of brown beer was provided in bottles from the start. In general, 40 bottles were enough. When there was a large participation, the consumption rose to 90 bottles. On the other hand, when Koch reports that a “cup” of beer was first emptied before going on to hotter things, it was “Bavarian beer”. It was also drunk as an egg grog and was then called Hoppelpoppel . Flibbe consisted of warm brown beer with rum.
“At Brunner, after the routine had lightened the mood, warming drinks were put on the table, especially after the start of Fidelitas. That was grog, egg grog, flibbe and mulled wine. Since these drinks contained more or less rum, "general drunkenness" was usually determined the next morning (Loch-Lippold, p. 14). The best material was not always used, so that the condition of the participants in the next 24 hours was not exactly enviable. "
