The Marchia Bonn fraternity is a striking and colorful student union in Bonn .

history

From the foundation to 1945

The Marchia was founded in 1854 by Munster high school graduates as an Academic Association Munsterania with the colors blue-gold-blue in Bonn, which were worn publicly from 1855. On May 29, 1857 it was renamed the Academic Association Marchia , changing the colors . Friedrich Nietzsche had got to know the Marchia and some of its members better, but then became a member of the Frankonia fraternity in Bonn in 1864 . After the corps of the Bonn Seniors' Convent had tried in vain for the Marchia in the first few years after its foundation , and the Marchia developed rather progressively , it declared itself a fraternity in 1865 . In 1865 she became a member of the Eisenacher Burschenbund and, together with the Bonn fraternities Frankonia and Helvetia, founded the Bonn Deputy Convent , which existed until 1869.

At the Franco-German War 1870-71 participated 72 members of Marchia of which fell 6th Due to the war, the Marchia was suspended in the winter semester of 1870/71 and could only reopen on April 20, 1885. In the same year she joined the General Deputy Convent , which was renamed the Deutsche Burschenschaft (DB) in 1902 . From the summer semester of 1894 to the summer semester of 1897, the Marchia was again suspended. In 1902 she was chairman of the DB and on October 30th opened her first own corporation house at 9 Lennéstrasse. In the First World War , 21 members died. In the winter semester of 1928/29 Marchia moved into its current house on Poppelsdorfer Allee .

In the winter semester 1930/31 the Marchia consisted of 102 old men and 86 members of the Aktivitas . In 1935 Aktivitas was transferred to the National Socialist German Student Union (Abbreviation NSDStB, also NSD Student Union) and the Marchia was dissolved or continued in the comradeship of Theodor Körner until 1945.

The time after 1945

In 1949 the Marchia was re-established, together with the Breslau fraternity , which had been expelled from Silesia , under the name of Münsterania . The common federation was involved in the re-establishment of the German fraternity in 1950 . In the 1950/51 winter semester, the Münsterania split into the Old Breslau Burschenschaft zu Bonn and the Marchia Burschenschaft . 1955 there was a merger with in Dusseldorf founded and later to Cologne laid fraternity Marchia Cologne .

In 1974, 13 active members left the Marchia because they insisted on their right to refuse military service , which at that time was not permitted within the German fraternity.

Since 1993, the Marchia organized a venison - tapping on the Poppelsdorf Avenue. The Marchia 2004 celebrated its 150th foundation festival in the Bad Godesberger Stadthalle .

In 2007, a member was expelled from the Marchia after he set fire to a wooden cross in the compound's garden and made radical right-wing statements. Marchia resigned in December 2011 in protest against right-wing extremist tendencies within the German fraternity and was involved in the reform of the fraternities, but has not belonged to any corporation since then .

In 2014, membership in the Marchia fraternity was a topic of discussion in the media, as the membership of Gordian Meyer-Plath as President of the State Office for the Protection of the Constitution in Saxony disliked some politicians, especially the Left and Greens in the Saxon state parliament .

Color and motto

The band of the Marchia has the colors dark blue-gold-red with golden percussion , foxes wear a blue-gold-blue . A blue flat cap is worn as headgear . Her motto was initially Inerstante stante unione virebo! , since 1857 solid, faithful, true! as well as from 1865 freedom, honor, fatherland at the same time !
