The coat of arms is a four-part tartsche . The field on the top left (from the point of view of the shield holder) shows the colors blue-red-green of the Corps Berlin. The corps circle is on the colors . The circle is composed of the first letters of the words vivat, crescat, floreat Corps Berlin.

The field at the top right shows the famous sketch by Leonardo da Vinci , which shows the scientific handling of the proportions of the human body. It is a symbol that the Corps Berlin is an academic, scientific connection.

The field at the bottom left shows the black bear as the Berlin city coat of arms .

In the field at the bottom right there are two crossed bell strikers and an oak wreath around which a ribbon is looped. The date of foundation "02/02/1859" of the oldest founding corps Cheruscia is registered. The crossed rackets are the symbol that the Corps Berlin recognizes the determination of censorship as a community-building and personality-building principle.

A spangenhelm rests on the coat of arms with a crown and three helmet bushes in green, red and blue. Two helmet covers in the form of baroque tendrils in the colors green and blue (each inside white) encompass the helmet and shield. Below the coat of arms is the motto of the Corps Berlin " sapere aude !" Above the coat of arms is the writing "Corps Berlin im WSC"

history

The Corps Berlin was created on February 9, 2009 through the merger of the Berlin WSC Corps Cheruscia, Rheno-Guestphalia and Teutonia. The business of the active Corps Cheruscia was continued with the inclusion of the members of the other Corps, so that the founding date December 2, 1859 remained and the Corps Berlin remained without interruption (instead of Cheruscia) in the WSC. The Corps Berlin continues the traditions of its founding corps.

On May 15, 2010, the Corps Berlin was accepted into the Blue Cartel .

Corps Cheruscia

Coat of arms of the Corps Cheruscia

From a previously loose association of studying pharmacists, chemists and physicians, the Chemical-Pharmaceutical Association emerged on December 2, 1859, with the prior approval of the Minister of Education, which gave itself the association colors "blue-red-green".

In the winter semester of 1874/75, this association merged with the Academic Pharmacists Association founded in 1866, and from then on it saw itself as a corporation. In 1876, the Cartel Association of Academic Pharmacists and Chemists' Associations (Kösener DC) was brought into being with other professional associations or associations .

After the dissolution of the Kösener DC in 1882, the corporation Academic Chemical-Pharmaceutical Association took on the name "Cheruscia" on April 5, 1883. The following years were characterized by the search for one's own point of view in the corporate world. The "connection Cheruscia" (since the winter semester 1887/88) entered into a temporary relationship with the Berlin connections of the Goslar Chargierten-Convent (until the dissolution of this association in 1881), after which one merged with other corporations to form the Berlin CC, which but dissolved again in the winter semester of 1894/95.

In 1903 Cheruscia was recognized as a country team, but without establishing closer contacts with the existing country teams of the Coburg LC or other umbrella organizations. Ultimately, the decision was made to join the Rudolstadt Seniors' Convent (RSC), which required the conversion to a corps. Admission into the RSC took place in 1911. The corps remained in this association until the dissolution of the RSC in 1934 and at the same time joined the WSC (Weinheim Senior Citizens' Convention), to which it belonged to the end. On June 30, 1954, Cheruskia took over most of the members of the Corps Normannia Marburg.

Corps Rheno-Guestphalia

The WSC-Corps Rheno-Guestphalia emerged in 1950 from the merger of the WSC-Corps Guestphalia and Rheno-Guestphalia.

Guestphalia

On February 4, 1870, the association "Cheruskia - Academic Association of Westphalia" signed up at the Royal Building and Trade Academy in Berlin. On March 10, 1882, Cheruscia was approved as a floating connection, and in 1883 it was converted to a corps.

Disputes with the Rector and Senate led to the compulsory dissolution of the Corps Cheruskia on May 23, 1886. They joined forces with the Landsmannschaft Guestphalia, which was formed in Hanover. This restituted itself on January 31, 1881 as Corps Guestphalia with the colors green-white-black and received the necessary academic permission from the university.

Rheno-Guestphalia

On February 25, 1866, at the royal building and trade academy in Berlin, the students Romberg, Schürman, Überfeld and Becker founded the Association of Rhinelander and Westphalia for "the pursuit of scientific and sociable purposes.

On August 13th, 1881, the active members applied to convert the association into a free association with unconditional satisfaction and the colors black-red-silver and red hat color. The rector and senate of the academy approved this on November 18, 1881.

On November 19, 1882, Rheno-Guestphalia joined the corps and entered into a crap relationship with the other corps and the free connections at the Royal Technical University of Berlin. In 1883 the SC of the Kgl. Technical University of Berlin, consisting of the Corps Silesia, Rheno-Guestphalia, Saxonia, Cheruscia (later Guestphalia) and Pomerania. In 1884 the university was relocated from Berlin to Charlottenburg. Rheno-Guestphalia joined the move. In 1890 the Corps Borussia transferred to Rheno-Guestphalia.

In 1891 Rheno-Guestphalia was accepted into the WSC.

At the beginning of the winter semester of 1935/36 the corps was suspended due to pressure from the NS student body. With the restitution in 1950, Rheno-Guestphalia and Guestphalia with the colors green-red-silver merged.

Corps Teutonia

Coat of arms of the Corps Teutonia

The Corps Teutonia was founded on July 1, 1870 as Landsmannschaft Hercynia at the Military Medical School in Berlin. The founding members were all former members of non-beating associations who got together to fight scales.

In 1872 it was renamed Landsmannschaft Feronia , the patron goddess of the freedmen. At this point in time, former military veterinarians were barred from working as civilian veterinarians after their service. Feronia acted as a representative of the interests of former military veterinarians.

In 1874, the Landsmannschaft Feronia and the Landsmannschaft Hannoverania founded the Blue Carteland was co-founder of the Rudolstadt Seniors Convent , which merged with the Weinheim Seniors Convent in 1934 .

In 1880 Feronia changed its name to Teutonia, because it was denied university admission as an association with the name "Feronia", apparently due to the too progressive meaning of the name.

From 1902 the corps principles were adopted, in 1910 the veterinary principle fell, which led to the opening of all scientific universities in Berlin.

On July 1, 1936, the corps was dissolved under pressure from the Nazi regime. The reconstitution took place on October 10, 1952 in Berlin. One of the restitution boys was Udo Janssen , who was refused enrollment at the Free University of Berlin because he confessed to beating the scale. This decision was reversed in one of the well-known scaling processes in 1958.

On July 1, 1970, the Corps Teutonia merged with the Corps Cimbria, which consisted primarily of brewers, and from then on was called "Corps Teutonia, Corps of the Cimbri and Teutons".

The Corps Cimbria was founded on May 10, 1888 as the "Brewers' Association Cerevisia". Cerevisia is the Latin word for beer. Its colors were green-white-gold, the fox colors gold-white-gold. The motto was “Nec aspera terrent!”. On May 10, 1920, Cerevisia was renamed Cimbria. Cimbria belonged to the Naumburg Seniors' Convent until 1934 , when it merged with the RSC in the WSC.
