history

Foundation phase

On December 11, 1861, the Alemannia student association was founded in the Giessen promenade with the aim of reducing the supremacy of the corps at the University of Giessen . In 1862 the Alemannia developed into a student union, which merged with the fraternity Germania and the Wingolf to form the Giessen President's Convent in order to counterbalance the Giessen Seniors' Convent . Due to differences in content, the Presidential Convent dissolved again in the winter semester of 1863/64. On November 14, 1863, the Alemannia finally became a fraternity and from February 17, 1869, together with the Germania fraternity, formed the Giessen Deputy Convent . At the Franco-German War 1870-71 16 members of Alemannia participated. In the years 1873 to 1877, the Alemannia had to suspend due to a lack of members and was only able to resume active operations on April 16, 1877. In the winter semester of 1878/79 she joined the Eisenach Deputy Convent . In 1881 she became a member of the General Convention of Deputies , later the German Burschenschaft ; Alemannia belonged to the then arminist tendency .

The Alemannenhaus in Gutenbergstrasse

1890 founded the old boys association of Alemannia, which significantly to the laying of the cornerstone of the 1901 inaugurated Alemanni house was that of today Aktivitas inhabited.

The time up to the Second World War

At the First World War 196 members of Alemannia participated, of whom 33 died.

In 1922, Alemannia joined the White Circle and continues to follow its principles to this day. In 1925 she joined the Old White Cartel .

In the winter semester 1930/31 the Alemannia consisted of 253 old men and 93 members of the Aktivitas.

When the German Burschenschaft was to be incorporated into the National Socialist German Student Union in 1935 , the Aktivitas of Alemannia refused to remain in the DB, left it and joined the Old Burschenschaft . From the winter semester 1937/38 the Alemannia continued to exist as Kameradschaft V or as Kameradschaft on the Alemannenhaus ; from 1943 as Kameradschaft Karillon or Kameradschaft Kießling .

During the Second World War , the Alemanni House was confiscated by the Wehrmacht in 1940 and used for air defense purposes, so that the comradeship had to switch to other fraternity houses for their active operations. 53 members of the Alemannia died in the Second World War.

post war period

After the end of the war, the Alemanni House was forcibly rented to the Labor and Occupation Costs Office and could only be partially used again for active operations in 1955 and completely in 1960. In 1950 the Alemannia was involved in the re-establishment of the German fraternity. In the same year the old white cartel was opened again. At the foundation festival in 1951, a part of the Aktivitas refused to wear colors and to beat the scales, so that the Aktivitas was suspended from the old rulers. These students then founded the Giessen Burschenschaft Wartburg .

Alemannia became a member of the German fraternity again in 1952.

From 1972 to 1993 the Alemannia Ring belonged to white fraternities .

In 1993 an apartment house with 15 residential units was built on the neighboring property of the connecting house, which is used as a student residence.

In 2009 Alemannia left the German fraternity and has not belonged to any corporation since then .

Color and motto
