history

Corps Alemannia Hannover (1865–1956)

Founded on May 1, 1865 by pupils of the Hanover Realschule as a youth association with the colors black-red-gold, Alemannia was converted into the Landsmannschaft Alemannia with the colors green-red-gold in 1870 and in 1874 as a corps in the Weinheim Senior Citizens' Convent (WSC ) recorded.

First contacts with the Corps Thuringia Dresden in 1875 resulted in a friendship two years later . Until the merger in 1956, the contract was the longest existing friendship contract in the WSC. This deeply rooted relationship is still documented today at the Wachenburg : In the castle tavern there is a stained glass window with the combined coats of arms of Alemannia and Thuringia, which was created long before the merger in 1956. Such a good relationship without cartel agreements between two corps in the WSC has remained unique to this day.

In 1900 the old gentlemen's association had its own corp house built on the corner of Körnerstrasse / Joseph-Strasse (now Otto-Brenner-Strasse), which was destroyed in World War II. The Aleman Emil Hartmann was particularly involved in the construction of the Wachenburg in Weinheim . The fundraising that made the construction of the castle possible went back to his initiative. Because of his commitment, Weinheim is known today as the "town of two castles". For his services he was made an honorary citizen of the city of Weinheim.

On the occasion of the 50th foundation festival in 1915, the "Alemannenstein" was to be placed next to an oak that was planted when the corps was founded in the Hanover city forest of Eilenriede . Due to the turmoil of the war, the corps, approved by the City of Hanover's magistrate, could only be deployed in 1925. This monument can still be viewed there today. During the time of National Socialism , the VAH of the Corps Alemannia was dissolved and the assets were confiscated. The Corps reconstituted on November 14, 1954.

Corps Thuringia Dresden (1866–1956)

Thuringia Dresden was founded on June 2, 1866 by four members of the Teutonia with the colors black, blue and white and was accepted into the WSC in 1876. The reason for the new foundation was that Teutonia did not have enough opportunities to cover its roles . In 1877, Thuringia made friends with the Corps Alemannia Hanover, and in 1892 with the Corps Bavaria Karlsruhe . In 1910 Thuringia founded the so-called Siebenerbund together with the Corps Teutonia Dresden, Corps Teutonia Stuttgart , Corps Teutonia Freiberg, Corps Montania Clausthal and Corps Bavaria Karlsruhe. In 1984 this became the Alliance of Four, which still exists today. In 1919 the members of the previous country team Markomannia were accepted into the corps. In 1920 the Corps built its own house at Wiener Straße 32 in Dresden.

Thuringia was also dissolved in 1936 after the Weinheim Senior Citizens' Convention and the Weinheim Association of Old Corps Students were dissolved. In 1943 the last old gentlemen's associations were banned and closed, and the joint property (including the corp house) was assigned to a comradeship. On June 2, 1952, the reconstitution took place in Karlsruhe , since a resumption of active operations in the GDR seemed impossible. Compared to the established Karlsruhe Corps, Thuringia was never able to gain a foothold there. It only had poorly heatable premises in a restaurant and thus had significantly worse conditions than other connections with its stately houses.

Corps Alemannia-Thuringia (from 1956)

On November 24, 1956, the two predecessor corps united to form a joint association based in Hanover . The tradition of the two corps is continued. This is represented by the double coat of arms, the double name and the traditional game which is struck once a semester in the name of the Corps Thuringia. In 1965 the 100th foundation festival took place. In 1970 a student aid association was set up, from 1998-2000 the corp house was rebuilt and rooms were rented to a university facility. The corps itself suspended in November 1999. On February 4, 2006, the corps was reactivated, this time in Magdeburg, where 2007 the new corporation house was moved into. In its new home, the Corps is actively involved in student life. Guest lectures were organized at the Faculty of Computer Science and the Corps made its house available several times for the series of events "Living room concerts".
