history

The time until 1945

The fraternity was founded by resigned members of an older Germania of the same name in 1827. This was sometimes called Amicitia (Latin for friendship). On the following boys' days ( Bamberg / Nuremberg 1827 and Würzburg 1829) it was recognized as the legitimate continuation of the Erlangen fraternity , despite opposition from the older Germania , which was now called Arminia . In 1832 the Germania was banned by the authorities and it was said to be "absolutely revolutionary" . After several members took part in the Frankfurt Wachensturm in 1833 , it was severely persecuted, so that many members had to flee abroad. Others came in years of detention , died in the four Germans. Seven active people were sentenced to death. However, this judgment was not carried out. Some of the non-imprisoned Teutons joined the Baruthia corps ; the Germania was secretly under the name Wörnleinianer continued for several years, but they could be re-established until the 1849th

Although the Bubenruthia fraternity in Erlangen was a point of contact for all students interested in fraternities, over time there was an increasing contrast between arminist and Germanist fraternities, so that on December 12, 1849 the Germania with old colors, which was banned in 1832 , old motto and old circle was re-established.

From a friendship relationship between the Teutonia Jena fraternity and Germania Erlangen from 1854, the South German Cartel (SK), which still exists today, was created on May 18, 1861 with the joining of the Allemannia Heidelberg , Germania Tübingen and Allemannia auf dem Pflug zu Halle fraternities . This joined with its member fraternities of the General Deputy Convent (ADC), the later German Burschenschaft (DB).

The Germanenhaus, built in 1888, remodeled in 1906.

The Germanenhaus was inaugurated on August 1, 1888. It is the oldest corporation house in the city. In 1906 the house was rebuilt and got its current appearance in the classic Art Nouveau style. The pub was the Brücken-Paulus restaurant in Sieglitzhof . A friendship alliance was established in 1892 with the Arminia Prague fraternity (now in Bochum ).

Parade for the 50th foundation festival (1899) of the fraternity Germania Erlangen on the old town square (today Martin-Luther-Platz).

During the First World War , the Germanenhaus was converted into a hospital for wounded soldiers; 63 members died or were missing. In 1920 numerous members of Germania joined the Freikorps Epp , in 1921 the Freikorps Oberland .

On November 12, 1934, the Southern German Cartel withdrew from the German fraternity . Germania then became a founding member of the old fraternity . In 1935/36, Germania had to disband under pressure from the National Socialists and was transferred to the Wilhelm Gustloff comradeship . In the Second World War 55 members died, 14 are missing. The Germanenhaus was again used as a hospital for wounded soldiers.

The time from 1945

On September 18, 1947, the Germania fraternity was re-established as Amicitia and recognized by the Erlangen AStA and the university senate. In 1950 it was renamed Germania . This joined the re-established German fraternity and the South German cartel . 1945–1947 the Germanenhaus served the US military as a meeting house, after which the university used the premises for seminars in its law faculty. On December 11, 1954, the house was again released for the fraternity.

After the German fraternity had given up the obligatory principle in 1971 in favor of the admission of Austrian fraternities, Germania left the corporation and has not belonged to any association since then.

In 2012 the student dormitory attached to the fraternity was expanded to 56 residential units.
