History from founding to leaving the WSC

The Corps Bavaria zu Karlsruhe was founded on November 14, 1847. The foundation senior was Tobias Wolff, previously an inactive corps boy of the Corps Nassovia. With nine former members of the Corps Franconia and M. Pauls, a Fuxen of Nassovia, he founded the Corps Bavaria. Under the slogan “ Amico pectus hosti frontem ” - “ The friend's chest, the foe's forehead ” and with the colors blue-gold-red , the Corps Bavaria joined the Karlsruhe Senior Citizens' Convention (KSC) with 11 active members . The first scale was struck in December 1847 with the Corps Nassovia.

Bavaria was suspended by the school from December 1852 to June 24, 1854 and from the beginning of 1862 to 1863 . On April 7, 1863, she participated in the founding of the Weinheim Senior Citizens 'Convention and worked out the first WSC comment with the Karlsruhe Senior Citizens' Convention. It was suspended from November 25, 1866 to August 29, 1867 and from November 28, 1882 to March 7, 1883, resigned from the WSC on May 9, 1883 and participated in the renewal of the WSC on May 31, 1884 WSC, resigned from the WSC in the winter semester 1885/86 and was resumed after a short time. The SC was suspended from April 30 to November 3, 1886 by the college because of a quarrel with an officer candidate. After the dissolution of the WSC on October 20, 1935, Bavaria suspended. She had no relationship with any fellowship . According to an announcement on March 30, 1939, the old gentlemen's association was dissolved by the Secret State Police .

On June 27, 1950, the Karlsruhe Seniors Convent (KSC) was re-established through initiation by Bavaria and Bavaria thus became the presiding corps in the KSC. Bavaria was supposed to lead the preparations for the reconstitution of the WSC on July 23, 1950 in Weinheim, but had left the KSC shortly beforehand. After the reconstitution of the WSC, Bavaria was admitted to the WSC on February 11, 1953. In the following years, the WSC argued about the reintroduction of the corpshatz and the number of compulsory censorship. Ultimately, the corpshatz was not reintroduced and the compulsory graduation and their number could be established. Due to the ongoing discussions about the compulsory graduation, Bavaria finally left the WSC on November 27, 1965.

Time after leaving the WSC

After leaving in 1965, the student union tried to maintain the cramped relationships with the striking connections in Karlsruhe and the KSC and to continue their form of only two compulsory graduations. However, some connections, the WSC-Corps, the SC in Freiburg and the SC in Heidelberg, terminated the fraternity and friendship relationships with Bavaria, so that fencing was only sparse with a few connections from Karlsruhe, by means of fraud contracts. Bavaria took on an outsider role among the Karlsruhe connections and completely stopped fencing for the 121st foundation festival in 1967 due to the lack of timpani and mensur partners.

Instead of the mandatory censorship for reception and inactivation, a scientific lecture should now contribute to the character and personality development of the members.

In the period that followed, the student union increasingly oriented itself scientifically. It is particularly concerned with conveying humanistic values ​​such as tolerance and friendship.

Corporation house

The corporation house of Bavaria is an old house steeped in history, the construction of which dates back to 1815. The house at Waldhornstrasse 20 was designed and built by the famous Karlsruhe master builder Friedrich Weinbrenner (1766–1826) according to his style. What was special was that the house was built set back, so that there was space for a large front garden, which was atypical for the Karlsruhe cityscape. The plane tree in the front garden, at least 110 years old, is now a nature reserve.

Like most connections in their early days, the Corps Bavaria did not initially have its own house. The house was acquired by Bavaria in 1886 and has been in his possession ever since. The corp house was confiscated in 1939 and was intended to be used for National Socialist purposes. However, the Bavaria managed to keep the house in possession.

During a major British attack on September 27, 1944, 30 incendiary bombs caused considerable damage in the rear building. An American air mine destroyed the upper storey and roof of the vestibule in an attack on September 29, 1944. Only the front wall and the cellar remained. So the house was gradually rebuilt after the Second World War with the help of all the remaining members.

Today the house has two upper floors, an attic and the original Weinbrenner vaulted cellar, which is used for festivities. In addition to several garages and a large inner courtyard, the house offers living space for 12 residents.
