history

After the Karlovy Vary resolutions were repealed in 1848 and the students at the Bavarian universities were granted the free right of association , the progressive student association Palladia was founded on December 12th under the leadership of Ernst Schmidt , which aims to promote science and the development of free studenthood and through Schmidt, who was its spokesman for a few semesters , politically radicalized in the spirit of the time. On June 14, 1850, she changed her name to Teutonia and put on the colors blue-white-gold ; she introduced the principle of life covenant , democratic principles and compulsory pounding . Gradually in the 1850s the fraternity character developed, with the result that Teutonia joined the German fraternity cartel in the winter semester of 1856/57 , which wanted to educate its members politically and ultimately bring about a unity of Germany on a popular basis. For this reason, Teutonia changed its colors in 1859 to the old fraternity colors black, red and gold, which had been forbidden for decades . After only one active student belonged to Teutonia in the following semester, he joined the general student union Wirceburgia and finally founded the Würzburg fraternity Arminia on July 14, 1860 with 21 active students from this Wirceburgia , which was the direct continuation of their fraternity from the old rulers of Teutonia was recognized. In the first few years, the Arminia was the only fraternity on site to fight hard with the overpowering corps in Würzburg ( Würzburger SC ), in the truest sense of the word "it had crammed through a mass of unprecedented bloody scales through the worst of times" . In 1863, the colors black, gold and crimson red , which are still valid today, were adopted. In the same year Arminia joined the North German cartel , to which it belonged until 1866. A proposed membership in the Eisenacher Burschenbund was therefore rejected in 1864. In 1865 the Arminia had its pub in the Heroldsgarten.

On November 10, 1874, Arminia was involved in the founding of the Eisenach Deputy Convent , a forerunner of the General Deputy Convent founded in 1881 , which had been called the German Burschenschaft since 1902 and to which Arminia had belonged since its founding on July 20, 1881.

In order to establish a second fraternity in Würzburg, the Arminia supported the establishment of the Cimbria fraternity in 1878 , with which it formed the Würzburg Deputy Convent from then on .

The Arminenheim (around 1908)

On October 22, 1906, the specially built connection house in Rottendorfer Strasse was inaugurated.

At the First World War 168 members attended the Arminia, 27 died. In 1920 Arminia was a co-founder of the Red Direction within the German fraternity. Arminia joined the University of Würzburg as one of the few student associations in the 1920s . In 1930/31 the Arminia consisted of 220 old men and 64 members of the Aktivitas .

In the time of National Socialism , Arminia and its Association of German Burschenschaft were transferred to the NSDStB on October 18, 1935 . Ultimately, under pressure from the National Socialists, Arminia had to disband on May 31, 1936 and continued as Ulrich von Hutten's comradeship . In World War II, fell 21 members. The Arminenhaus was hit by an incendiary bomb during the bombing of Würzburg on March 16, 1945 by the Allies and burned to the ground.

After the war, the tradition of Arminia was continued by the Palladia student union, founded on July 23, 1948, and after the re-establishment of Arminia on October 22, 1949, it was taken over as Aktivitas der Arminia. On June 15, 1950, Arminia was a founding member of the reconstruction of the German fraternity. On June 5, 1954, the Brno fraternity Moravia merged with Arminia. The destroyed house was rebuilt and inaugurated on May 4, 1957.

At the end of 1996 Arminia left the German fraternity and has been a free fraternity ever since. On February 10, 2008, Arminia was the founding association of the Red Fraternities cartel .

Moravia Brno

Moravia's coat of arms

On June 5, 1954, Arminia merged with the Brno fraternity Moravia (founded on October 29, 1859 in Brno), with which a long friendship existed. After being expelled from Czechoslovakia , Moravia opened up again on September 17, 1950 in Würzburg and maintained close relationships with Arminia, which ultimately resulted in the merger of the two fraternities.

The Moravia was black-white-blue ; Foxes were blue-white-blue ; the head color was a white cap.
