It brings together students and alumni of the Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen . The currently 275 Prussians from Tübingen come from Northern Germany , Western Germany , Swabia , Sweden , Australia , China , Peru , North Africa and the United States .

Color

Borussia has the colors black-white-black with silver percussion. A black student cap is also worn. The fox ribbon is black and white. The motto is Hosti frontem, pectus amico!

history

On November 22, 1870, ten predominantly Prussian students founded the black student society Borussia . On August 7, 1873, she introduced unconditional satisfaction and color. She declared herself a Corps on May 24, 1877 and renounced since June 1, 1877 in the SC zu Tübingen . On August 7th, 1877 she was reciprocated and thus accepted into the KSCV.

Corp house

Prussian House Tübingen

In the 1880s one was tired of the constant change of restaurants, each of which was renting a room. In 1887 the old gentlemen bought a plot of land on Österberg on which the first corp house was built and inaugurated in 1888. In addition to the ballroom and the common rooms, this house contained ten rooms for the active members. The administration was carried out by a specially founded stock corporation. Fifteen years later, due to the growing number of members, the decision was made to demolish the old house and build a new one with contemporary furnishings and modern architecture in the same place. The new corp house was built by the Dresden architects Lossow and Kühne with elements of Art Nouveau and inaugurated in 1907. During the First World War it was used as a military hospital at times.

time of the nationalsocialism

Shortly after the so-called seizure of power by the National Socialists in 1933, their organs, NSDStB and SA , exerted increasing pressure on the student associations with the aim of aligning themselves (e.g. introduction of the “Führer principle”, exclusion of “non-Aryan” members, etc.). Eventually, many connections broke up, Borussia in May 1936, others merged into so-called comradeships. In the following years, the Reichsstudentenführung demanded the handover of the corp house and the assets of the Alter Tübinger Prussia Association, while the Race and Settlement Main Office (RuSHA) of the SS wanted to rent the house as an SS team house. After long negotiations and, finally, threats, a contract with the SS was concluded in May 1939 with the admission that the old gentlemen's association did not have to join the NS-Altherrenbund, and it was dissolved. The house was used not only by the SS but also by the NSV during the war, and by the French occupation troops after the war.

Recent history

Osterberg

In 1923 and 1983 Borussia was the presiding suburban corps.

At the time of the French occupation , Borussia, Franconia and Suevia founded the Österberg connection . Borussia reopened in 1950. Five years later the French returned the corp house. The valuable interior furnishings had largely disappeared, however, and the inventory that had been outsourced was destroyed in air raids on Frankfurt am Main .

The building was given a new two-tone exterior paint in 2018, which better accentuates the structure of the facade.

Österberg seminars

Since 2009, a legal symposium of the SC zu Tübingen called the Österberg seminar has been held every year at the corps house with the participation of legally active corps students, such as B. Hans-Joachim Priester , Ulrich Seibert , Klaus Pohle , Hanns-Eberhard Schleyer , Volker Rieble , Edzard Schmidt-Jortzig , Gregor Bachmann or Henning Schulte-Noelle , and other renowned lawyers from science and practice such as Karsten Schmidt , Peter Hommelhoff , Jens Ekkenga or Harm Peter Westermann . The seminars are widely recognized and are reported on annually in the NZG . The seminars are designed as professional training for specialist lawyers and a. Recommended by the Stuttgart Bar Association. On the occasion of the 10th anniversary, Mohr Siebeck Verlag in Tübingen published a commemorative publication entitled “Practice and Teaching in Business Law”, ed. by Hans-Joachim Priester, Hansjörg Heppe and Harm Peter Westermann.
