history

Founding phase and empire

The founders of the Alemannia fraternity belonged to the Fridericia fraternity, which was dissolved in 1847 . They separated from this in 1844 in order to found their own fraternity. Another spin-off from Fridericia gave rise to the Frankonia fraternity in Bonn in December 1845 .

The Schänzchen , part of the Alemannia Bonn fraternity house.

The seat of the Alemannia is the Schanze . In 1884 some old men bought the Schänzchen , at that time a very well-known inn far outside the city, for their fraternity. The Alemannia connection house was built on the property in 1904 .

After Bismarck's death in 1898, the Bonn student body under the leadership of the Bonn Alemanni initiated the Bismarck Pillar Movement, which resulted in numerous Bismarck towers.

Weimar Republic and National Socialism

After the First World War , those returning from the war found the Schänzchen occupied by British soldiers. They were also banned from studying in Bonn. As an alternative, the Alemannia Münster fraternity was launched, which soon stood on its own two feet, but merged with the Bonn Alemanni after the Second World War .

During the time of National Socialism , the Alemannia refused to demand from the Deutsche Burschenschaft (DB) to exclude its Jewish and Jewish infiltrated members in accordance with the provisions of the new Aryan paragraphs . Under the pressure of the Nazi regime, Alemannia had to disband in 1936. From 1938, their house served as accommodation for the Bismarck Comradeship , which in part tried to maintain the Alemannic tradition. In the Second World War, 47 Alemanni and 6 members of the Comradeship Bismarck died.

Post-war period and current developments

From 1948 the connection was reestablished, but first had to come together as the friendship association Ernst Moritz Arndt . In 1950, Alemannia was officially re-established and in the same year joined the German Burschenschaft (DB).

While the Alemannia was not yet punished for giving up fencing at the Burschentag in 1969, it was suspended by the DB in January 1970, that is, temporarily excluded because it had given up the mandatory principle. It was finally excluded in July, but was resumed in the 1971/72 winter semester. In June 1974 self-exclusion was established for violating the constitution of the DB, an appeal was only made in 1975 and the sanction lifted. In 1976 the Alemannia was suspended again, the sentence was finally lifted in 1977.

1995 Alemannia Bonn resigned from the Association of German Burschenschaft due to disputes about future goals. In the winter semester 1998/99 she last joined the New German Burschenschaft , which she left again in December 2018.
