history

Members of the Corps Bavaria in the Würzburg university dungeon around 1828

The Corps Bavaria was founded on March 1st, 1815 by students at the University of Würzburg. After just a few semesters, Bavaria developed a fraternity tendency and dissolved on June 27, 1818. Many of its former members also participated in the founding of the Würzburg fraternity Germania, which shortly afterwards by the Corps of Würzburg Senior Convents with disrepute was occupied. The increasing suppression of the fraternity movement as a result of the Karlovy Vary resolutions of August 1819 finally led to the dissolution of Germania and on December 16, 1819 to the reconstitution of Bavaria, which some of the old Bavarians rejoined. On February 23, 1820 Bavaria was again accepted as a full member of the Würzburger SC.

Since 1827 student associations in Bavaria have been officially tolerated after submitting their statutes and lists of members. While the Corps Moenania and Franconia made use of this possibility early on, Bavaria did not submit a corresponding application until 1833 and received official approval with a letter from the Ministry of the Interior on February 9, 1836. Bavaria has been a member of the Kösener Seniors Convents Association (KSCV) since November 7, 1860 . Due to the structure of its relationships with other corps, the Corps Bavaria is counted as part of the " black circle " within the KSCV.

After the Corps refused to accept Bruno Stern, the son of the Jewish lawyer and Bavaria member Otto Stern, following the example of the Salia association founded in 1884 - Jewish students established their own associations in Würzburg from around 1896.

During the "Third Reich", the Corps Bavaria continued to exist temporarily underground after its dissolution on February 15, 1936 . For example, from 1943 to 1944, scales were fought illegally, and in the summer of 1944 an attempt was made to re-establish the Kösener Seniors' Convent Association , which was dissolved on August 28, 1935 , together with other corps . In January 1950 Bavaria was one of the 22 corps that formed the "Interest Group" and prepared the reconstitution of the KSCV.

The "Rector Max Meyer Prize", which has been awarded since 2013, is named after an old man of the Corps Bavaria, the former rector of the Max Meyer University . This prize is awarded every two years to outstanding dissertations at the University of Würzburg. The prize is donated by various corps student bodies and private individuals. The Corps Bavaria Würzburg is also involved.

In June 2015, the association celebrated its 200th foundation festival; The keynote speaker was the TB historian Guido Knopp . Other speakers at the celebrations were the former Federal Post Minister Wolfgang Bötsch and the State Secretary in the Bavarian Ministry of the Interior, Gerhard Eck .

Corp houses

In 1900 the Philistine Association acquired a classicist villa at Veitshöchheimer Strasse 8 with a 4500 square meter, park-like garden and had it converted for the purposes of the Corps. On the ground floor, in addition to the pub furnished in "old German" style and the convention room with library and archive, the furnishings included a garden salon, which the former governor of Cameroon, Eugen von Zimmerer , furnished with parts of his ethnological and zoological collection. On the upper floor there was a representation room in the Empire style with high pillar mirrors and Pompeian wall paintings, as well as the dining room, a music room, a small English salon and a dance hall, which took up the entire rear of the house. On the occasion of the 85th Federal Festival (Whitsun 1900) the property was handed over to the Corps for use.

In 1953 the student union acquired an old professor's villa on Rottendorfer Strasse in Würzburg-Frauenland, which today serves as a corp house. The building is listed under number D-6-63-000-484 in the Bavarian List of Monuments .

These include the Royal Bavarian Finance Ministers Josef Aschenbrenner , Georg von Berr and Benno von Pfeufer , the Royal Bavarian Justice Minister Eduard von Bomhard and the Bavarian State Minister of the Interior Friedrich von Brettreich .
