The Arminia zu Leipzig is an obligatory and colorful Leipzig fraternity . She is a member of the umbrella organization of the German fraternity . Its members refer to each other as Armines and Federal Brothers, their wives as Federal Sisters, if they so wish.

It is the only student association in the new federal states that focuses on promoting cultural exchange with Chile. Since 2001, Aktivitas has organized the Chilean Night in Leipzig and trips to South America twice a year . On the occasion of the earthquake in Chile in 2010, donation initiatives for earthquake relief were organized.

Since January 2016, Arminia has been operating an additional active company at the university town of Dresden .

history

The time until 1945

The Leipzig Burschenschaft Arminia was founded on June 18, 1860 by five medical students and five theology students initially as a general student union . Since the Saxon government only tolerated fraternities again a year later, it officially carried this title from 1861. In the period following the establishment of the German Empire, Arminia adopted a "red" orientation.

She chaired her association in 1883 (at that time still General Deputy Convent), and 1902.

In the 500th anniversary of Leipzig University in 1909, Arminia took part with 53 other student associations. For the 600th anniversary in 2009, she was involved in the Corporated Festival Committee together with other Leipzig student associations . The active lads also got involved in other university-public anniversary initiatives, such as the Prague-Leipzig run or the greening movement “600 trees” .

In the First World War , 176 Leipzig armies fought, 42 of them fell. In 1915 a club magazine, the "Arminenzeitung", was published for the first time in order to maintain communication between the federal brothers during the war. In 1937, Arminia dissolved itself under pressure from the Nazi regime . Its members founded the general comradeship "Wartburg" with the members of the fraternities of Dresdensia , Normannia and Germania . In 1942 the Armines were able to gather again in their own comradeship, the “ Heinrich von Treitschke ” comradeship . A total of 36 friars were killed in World War II .

The time after 1945

In the Soviet occupation zone (SBZ) student associations were banned, as they were later banned in the GDR . For this reason, the Leipziger Alt-Herrenschaft merged, there was no Aktivitas, in June 1950 with the Aktivitas und Alt-Herrenschaft of the Frankfurt fraternity Arminia to form the Frankfurt-Leipzig fraternity Arminia , with the intention of becoming Arminia as soon as the political situation allowed it to be established as "a union at two university locations".

After the German reunification in 1990, the Arminia fraternity in Leipzig was officially re-established in November 1994 at the third attempt in Leipzig, without, however, fully realizing the resolution.

Color

Armines wear the colors " gold-red-black " with a crimson student hat .

Fraternity houses

The connection had owned real estate since 1902, when a house in what was then Poniatowskistraße 14 (today Gottschedstraße ) was acquired. In 1928 a house was bought instead on Milchinsel, which was sold again in 1937 at a loss. The furniture and other possessions that had been outsourced to the federal brothers were largely destroyed in February 1944 during the second major bombing raid on Leipzig . After 1994 she moved back to Leipzig, to Hinrichsenstrasse 1b. In 2007 Arminia moved into the Villa Lützow in Gohlis . In October 2016, an additional constant with several active rooms was inaugurated in Dresden for the federal brothers resident there.

Friendship relationships

Arminia has maintained friendships with the Freiburg fraternity of Teutonia since 1897, the Giessen fraternity Germania since 1902 and with the Frankfurt-Leipzig fraternity Arminia since 1996. She has had friendly relationships since 2003 with the old Darmstadt fraternity Germania and the fraternity Araucania Santiago de Chile .
