Corps Borussia Berlin

coat of arms

The Corps Borussia Berlin is a student association in the Berlin Seniors' Convent (KSCV) . The Berlin Prussians are students and alumni of the Berlin universities.

Color and motto

Like every Kösener Corps , Borussia Berlin stands by the scale and color . Borussia uses the Hohenzollern colors black and white with silver percussion; the band is too wide. The student cap is black. The foxes wear the colors white-black-white with silver percussion; the fox ribbon is of normal width. Due to close personal connections to Wilhelm I , Borussia Berlin was the only corporation to have both the black Prussian and the red Brandenburg eagle in the student coat of arms. The motto of the Corps is Nec temere nec timide!

history

Suburb Berlin (2013)

The Corps Borussia Berlin was founded on May 28, 1873 under the name Corps Rhenania Berlin with the colors light blue-white-red. It is the successor to the Association of Younger Artists Roma , founded in 1866, whose members include the sculptors Moritz Castan, Richard Anders and August Volz ; the landscape painters Julius Bodenstein and Colmar Schmidt and the portrait painter Eugen Fridrich belonged. Rhenania became friends with the Corps Baltia Königsberg . For the SC in Leipzig, Max Robert Hein was chairman of the Kösener Congress in 1875 .

Due to a pistol duel, the Corps Rhenania was suspended from the university on December 9, 1882. On the same day, “Borussia” was donated with the colors black-white-light blue. On July 5, 1887, Borussia waived a reconstitution of the Rhenania and changed the colors to black and white with silver percussion. On April 28, 1898, Borussia took on the active members of the country team “Palaiomarchia” who had resigned because of the crisis in the Coburg country team convent .

Borussia and 46 other corporations were dissolved on March 29, 1934 by an order of the district leader of the German Student Union ; however, on appeal, the dissolution was lifted on April 5, 1934. After the dissolution of the HKSCV on September 28, 1935 , Borussia suspended on April 17, 1936. From 1938, she and the other Kösener Corps in Berlin looked after the SC comradeship with the provisional name "von Zweydorff".

Erich Volz sailed the Ocean Race Bermuda-Cuxhaven in 1936 with Wilhelm Wölfing on the Ettsi IV under the flag of the Old Corps Students' Association .

Borussia's old boys' club was reactivated on March 24, 1951. On January 26, 1952, the old men Fritz Scherner I, Hans Helmut Lohkamp, ​​Heinz-Theodor Barthold and Herbert Franke reconstituted the corps in the KSCV. As in 1962, Borussia was the presiding suburban corps of the KSCV in 2012/13.
