history

The Corps Alemannia was founded on November 17, 1862 in Vienna by students of the Polytechnic as a technical connection. At the end of her first decade and with the establishment of relationships with other like-minded associations in Brno , Graz and Innsbruck , Alemannia declared herself from a fraternity to a corps , with members mainly of German descent, but also from other nationalities of the Austrian Empire , with “love for the fatherland and the ancestral ruling house ” .

Until the end of the monarchy, most Austrian corps were not allowed to join the KSCV. However, the Innsbruck Corps had withdrawn the approved application for membership in 1888 and Gothia was accepted into the KSCV in 1898. The remaining corps from Austria, Bohemia and Moravia were only accepted after the breakup of Austria-Hungary and the creation of the Republic of German-Austria . The Corps Joannea , Vandalia Graz and Suevia Prague had applied for admission as early as 1914 . With Austria Prag , the SC zu Brünn ( Marchia , Austria , Frankonia), Teutonia Graz, the SC zu Leoben (Montania, Schacht ) and the SC zu Wien ( Saxonia , Alemannia, Posonia, Symposion) they became part of the KSCV at the oKC in 1919 recorded.

After the German corporations were dissolved in 1935 despite resistance and their members were incorporated into the NS student union , this also came into force for Alemannia after the annexation of Austria .

After the Second World War , the KSCV was re-established in West Germany in 1950 . The corps in Austria were also allowed to reconstitute, sanctioned by the Association Act. Alemannia did this in March 1952 with reactivated old men . The official reopening was celebrated with the 90th Foundation Festival in May 1953.

Alemannia was the first Austrian suburban corps in 1960 and provided the chairman of the oKC for the Seniors' Convent in Vienna . With the 1968 movement there was no new generation in Vienna. After a seven-year break from active corps operations from 1974 to 1981, some of the remaining members decided to leave Vienna on October 10, 1981 and, supported by the Upper Austrian Corpsphilisterverband , to start again at the Johannes Kepler University Linz, founded in 1966 , where the corps has existed ever since.

The corps belongs to the black circle . It sees itself in the obligation to preserve old student customs, especially the scale length .
