history

prehistory

The house of the fraternity Alemannia Stuttgart. The picture (part of a postcard) shows the old version of the fraternity house.

As early as 1846 a so-called Friday Society (also Freitagia and Germania ) with the colors black-gold-red was established. In this student union, fraternities were already cultivated. However, there were also circles that contradicted politicization. The Friday Society was dissolved in 1850.

In the course of the national movements sparked in 1859 by the Franco-Austrian war and by the 100th birthday of Schiller , a youth army was formed in Stuttgart in February 1861, which served the pre-military training of high school students and polytechnicians . Since many members of the youth armed forces lacked a social component, some members founded the reading club for the maintenance of sociable comradeship in 1864 , which kept magazines on art, science and technology. Since too little attention was paid to their quality when new members were accepted, this association quickly disbanded. In March 1865, the military club was founded as the successor to the reading club. Only students of the Polytechnic and members of the youth armed forces were allowed to enter these. The military club also had a weekly pub day that was compulsory for all members. Efforts to convert this military club into a union of fraternity character led to quarrels and its renewed dissolution in January 1866.

Founding years

The chemistry student Oskar Goll was strongly committed to establishing a new student union. He had connections to the Normannia Tübingen association , which emerged from the Tübingen fraternity, and procured its statutes, which were used as a model for the statutes of the new association. In February 1866, the Allemannia Stuttgart fraternity went public for the first time on January 31, 1866 after a pub day attended by numerous Normans. June 18th, the day of the Battle of Waterloo , was set as the official foundation day . When it was founded, the fraternity consisted of twelve boys and four Kneipp tails (the name for connoisseurs at the time ). All Alemanni had to belong to the youth armed forces. In 1870 the name was changed to the current name Alemannia.

In the beginning, Alemannia only gave limited satisfaction with the weapon, from 1871 onwards the principle of unconditional satisfaction was adopted.

In the empire

In 1883 the Dresden fraternity Tuiskonia was re-established by Alemanni in Stuttgart. Together, the fraternities formed the first Stuttgart Deputy Convent (DC), which existed until 1887 when Tuiskonia had to cease active operations due to a lack of members. As a result, Alemannia concluded a friendship relationship with the Karlsruhe DC in 1888.

In the First World War 33 Alemanni fell and Alemannia had to cease active operations for the first time.

Interwar period

Alemannia Stuttgart was the resolution of the German fraternity 1935, the last acting chairman of the German fraternity fraternity. The dissolution itself was decided under the Redaria Rostock fraternity.

Principles

In its motto Freedom - Honor - Fatherland, the Alemannia Stuttgart fraternity has put freedom first, in contrast to its longstanding association and other fraternities. The concept of freedom has always played a major role in federal history. The founding statutes state:

“Alemannia is a union of friends with equal striving and equal rights; The personal freedom of another in thinking and acting may never be impaired by any member. Only the association as a whole is entitled to restrict the individual freedom of its members, where this is indisputably required by the interest of the association. "

And elsewhere:

"The actions of the members should not be regulated and monitored by a mass of external laws, but the connection relies on the tact and the sense of honor of the individual."

Color

Boys wear a ribbon in the colors black-gold-red with gold percussion. Foxes do not wear a ribbon. An amaranth red flat cap is worn as the head color . At the beginning a black hat was still worn, but in 1868 it was exchanged for the current red one for reasons of fashion. Tönnchen and Cerevis are black to this day. The charged people wear black pekeschen.

Fraternity house

The pub room. On the back wall you can see shields with the colors of the cartel associations: on the lower left Glückauf Clausthal, in the upper middle Alemannia Stuttgart and on the lower right Cheruscia Aachen (merged in Cheruscia Dresden)

The house ⊙ der Alemannia was built in 1900 and rebuilt in 1929, which gave it its present form. The renovation was carried out due to a lack of space, the old building no longer offered enough space for the needs of the rapidly growing association. Only the Kneipsaal kept its original shape, otherwise the house was completely demolished.

The Alemannenhaus is located below the Uhlandshöhe in Haußmannstraße (formerly Kanonenweg 46) near the city center. In addition to the traditional Kneipsaal, it also contains several student rooms, a terrace and a garden.

Relationships with other fraternities

Together with the old Freiberg fraternity Glückauf zu Clausthal and the Aachen-Dresden fraternity Cheruscia, the Alemannia forms the friendly cartel working group Dreieck . The active members of the three fraternities call themselves federal brothers and Duzen themselves ("federal brotherly you"). With Cheruscia, Alemannia formed a cartel for the first time from 1869 to 1873.

Cartels and friendly relationships also existed with the Braunschweig fraternity Germania (1869 to 1873), the Karlsruhe fraternity Teutonia (from 1869), the Arminia Karlsruhe fraternity (1889 to 1912) and the Vienna academic fraternity Bruna Sudetia (1924 to approx. 1935).

The Ulmia Stuttgart connection became a fraternity in 1898 through the influence of the Alemannia, but earlier attempts to influence this failed.

Alemannia is a founding member of the Stuttgart Initiative (SI) and the Initiative Burschenschaftliche Zukunft (IBZ) . The Alemanne Henning Roeder was the founding chairman of the IBZ.
