The Corps Bavaria was founded on May 25, 1821 with the colors light blue, white and yellow. The donors were members of the fraternity "Concordia", which was dissolved on the same day, and came mainly from Franconia and the Bavarian Swabia. The catchment area of ​​the new corps was aimed at the entire Kingdom of Bavaria from the start . On May 30, 1822, the Erlangen Bavaria agreed a cartel with Bavaria Landshut . The increasing state repression after the Karlovy Vary resolutions forced the suspension of the corps in 1825, with which the relations to Landshut also ended. It was not until 1840 that Bavaria was able to reconstitute in Erlangen, partly through former Onoldia renunciations , and adopted the colors light blue, white and dark blue that are still worn today. Already in 1861 she joined the Kösener Seniors Convents Association with all other Erlanger corps. In 1863 the corps was temporarily dissolved by the academic senate.

Bavaria was initially a life corps , d. H. their relatives could not also become members of another corps at a foreign university. However, since the end of the 19th century this provision became increasingly permeable. In 1913 the life corp principle was finally abandoned. Bavaria has been part of the South German Cartel as a founding corps since 1924. In 1928 she was the presiding suburban corps in the KSCV and, along with Gottfried Balzer (later also a member of the Corps Athesia Innsbruck ), was the chairman of the oKC.

The corps was suspended during National Socialism . Active operations were resumed on March 8, 1948. In January 1950, Bavaria was one of the 22 corps that joined together in the interest group and prepared the re-establishment of the KSCV.

South German cartel

The Corps Bavaria Erlangen belongs to the South German Cartel within the KSCV. The South German Cartel has existed in its current form since 1924 and consists of the Corps Bavaria Erlangen, Franconia Würzburg , Makaria Munich , Joannea Graz , Athesia Innsbruck and Schacht Leoben . There is also a cartel with Borussia Berlin and a traditional cartel with Palaio-Alsatia Strasbourg in Frankfurt . A friendship relationship had existed with the extinct Corps Littuania since 1929. All corps belonging to the South German cartel are not in Kösener circles .

Corp houses

In 1903 the corps acquired its first corp house at 7 Hauptstrasse . When this building no longer met the needs, it moved into a villa at Hindenburgstrasse 28 in 1932. However, the house was completely destroyed by an artillery hit in 1945 in the last phase of the Second World War . In June 1954, the third and current corp house at Loewenichstrasse 21 was acquired.
