history

The Corps Agronomia Hallensis was donated by Professor Julius Kühn as "Agricultural Conversatorium" in the winter semester of 1862/63 at the Friedrichs University in Halle . He wanted to give the students the opportunity to practice free speech and public discussion of scientific and technical subjects. The foundation day is February 11, 1863. In that semester, the students formed an "Agricultural Association" with the aim of staying in touch with one another beyond their studies. From this still loose association the "Academic Agricultural Association (ALV)" developed, whose statutes were approved by the Senate of the Martin Luther University in Halle on February 25, 1868 . As a result of the participation of many students in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870/71, there was a brief interruption in the life of the association. After that there was a heyday with 150 to 175 agricultural students in some cases per semester. The foundation festivities of the University's agricultural institute, always held in February, were also the foundation festivities of the association; they were celebrated with special solemnity every five years. The coat of arms still used today must have been introduced soon.

For the 25th anniversary in 1888, it was decided to build or buy a house of their own in order to be able to maintain closer cohesion among the members. On April 1, 1898, a 1000 m² property with a house built in 1878 was bought by the club house cooperative, which had now been founded . After extensive renovation work, the inauguration of the house took place on October 23, 1898 for Julius Kühn's 73rd birthday . During these years the association was transformed into a connection.

During the First World War there was no active operation at Agronomia, as hardly any new agricultural students came to Halle. The house at Wilhelmstrasse 20 was an important meeting place for vacationers and the wounded. 434 Agronomists from Halle took part in the First World War, of which 67 did not return. After the end of the war, studying at the university normalized, so that agronomia flourished again. In the summer semester of 1919, more than 30 new members came to Agronomia. In October 1919, the transformation from the association to the Academic-Agricultural Association Agronomia Halle was completed. From the foundation festival in 1920 on, the white-black-white ribbon and the white cap were worn as a pub couleur. In the turbulent years of 1920/21 and during the inflationary period, friendships and loyalty among agronomists proved their worth. The time situation then gave rise to the desire to accept the corp principle .

corps

On October 23, 1925 for the 100th birthday of Julius Kühn, the connection to the Corps Agronomia Halle was converted. At this point the corps became mandatory and initially demanded three sizes from its members, but this was quickly increased to five and later to six sizes. Due to the tympanic conditions, the Mensurtage took place in Halle and Leipzig as well as in villages in the Jena area.

The "Association of Academic-Agricultural Associations at German Universities", which had existed since 1882, became the " Naumburg Deputy Convent " (NDC) in 1922 and the " Naumburg Senior Citizens Convent " (NSC) in 1928 . The Castle Schoenburg was dressing castle. Agronomia Halle belonged to these associations from the beginning, but then took up contact with the " Weinheim Senior Citizens' Convention " and was accepted by it in May 1934. With the takeover of power by Adolf Hitler in 1933, the situation under National Socialism changed fundamentally, which had corresponding effects on student connections and agronomy. The organization of the student body should be in the hands of the National Socialist German Student Union (NSDStB). In the course of the development that followed, the corporations and associations were suspended in 1935. In December 1938, the 3rd Comradeship of the University of Halle opened at the Agronomist House . At the same time an old gentry of comradeship was founded, which many old gentlemen of the Agronomia joined and which later assumed the name comradeship " von Mackensen ". The old rulers and the agronomist cooperative continued to exist. With the occupation of Halle by American troops in mid-April 1945 (later Russian troops), the surrender of the German Wehrmacht in May 1945, as well as the collapse of the German Empire and the division into occupation zones, the end of the Agronomia Halle seemed to have come.

After the liaison system almost died out in eastern Germany, the Halle agronomists continued to meet for the Foundation Day, albeit in Hanover. In 1947, 41 old men took part in the annual festival. In the following years it was decided to explore possibilities, possibly to re-establish an active union at a university location, in order to maintain real tradition with the academic youth. In the winter semester of 1948/49, several agricultural students at the Georg-August University in Göttingen joined forces to form a "Natural Science-Agricultural Association Demetria", which was approved in April 1949 by the English university control officer. Very soon contact was made with the old rulers of the Corps Agronomia Halle and the Göttingen gymnastics club Mündenia. These two old rulers jointly took over the sponsorship of the young association and supported it to the best of their ability with advice and action. In the 1950/51 winter semester there was a split among the active members of Demetria. One part decided to join Agronomia Halle and the other to Mündenia. On January 9, 1951, the active Corps Agronomia Hallensis in Göttingen was constituted at a convention in the presence of numerous old men from the Agronomia Halle .

After lengthy and intensive discussions and negotiations, the old rulers of the Corps Agraria Berlin and Agronomia Breslau merged with the Corps Agronomia Hallensis in Göttingen on November 10, 1951. The old rulers of the Landsmannschaft Agraria Jena also initially joined, but only a few old men remained in the Agronomia. On May 23, 1952, the Weinheim Senior Citizens' Convention was reconstituted with the help of some old men from Agronomia. In October 1957 the house at Friedländer Weg 47 in Göttingen was bought. In the summer semester of 1958, the inauguration took place as a corps home.

Agronomia has had an interview with the Corps Alemannia Munich since 2008 . This was converted into a friendship relationship in 2011. Furthermore, Agronomia maintains a friendship relationship with the Corps Alemannia Kiel.

In Göttingen Senior Convent has Agronomia seat and voting rights, except for proposals concerning the KSCV.
