history

Cisaria was donated on March 15, 1851 in Augsburg. As founder of the true apprentice of the Polytechnic School Augsburg Karl Ritter von Bernatz , who at that time (at the age of 20 years) already aged master of the Corps Moenania Munich was. A classroom at the elementary school near St. Anna served as a venue for the Commentary instructions, in which the co-founder Anton Eichleiter's father taught as a senior teacher. Shortly after the foundation, Bernatz fell out with his Augsburg training institute and subsequently moved the corps to Munich in 1853. Both the colors (based on the Augsburg city arms) and the name (after the pagan patron goddess of Augsburg, Cisa ) indicate the place of the foundation.

In Munich, under Cisaria's leadership, the General Polytechnic Association (PSC) was founded around 1860 , which successfully campaigned for the equalization of technical courses with academic courses at the university. However, this broke up after a few years due to internal disputes. This resulted in the Polytechnic SC , which in the year the Technical University of Munich was founded (1868) comprised four corps: Cisaria, Rheno-Palatia , Vitruvia and Germania . Different conceptions of the scale - Cisaria always had the strictest - changed the composition of the PSC eight times by 1880. In order to find mensur partners at all, some cisars founded the Normannia daughter corps in 1875 . However, this was already forcibly resolved in 1878 as a result of a complaint by the teaching staff of the TH. Those affected were taken back into the mother corps, Cisaria took the colors of Normannia into her coat of arms as a reminder. The name and colors of the former daughter corps are now run by the (non-striking) school association SV Normannia , which has enjoyed hospitality at the Cisarenhaus since it was founded.

In 1912, Cisaria joined the other corps of the Polytechnic SC in the Weinheim Senior Citizens' Convention and thus became the oldest Weinheim corps on site. Despite the First World War and political turmoil, Cisaria experienced a new heyday in the Weimar Republic and could continue to exist until the end of the period. During the time of National Socialism , it soon became apparent that the Gleichschaltung would not exclude the Corps, which in many cases would have meant breaking with the core traditions of the Corps (e.g. replacing the Convention principle with the Führer principle ). The National Socialist German Student Union claimed sole representation of the German student body and endeavored to transfer the corporation houses into its ownership. As the vast majority of connections were suspended in 1935, Cisaria tried to maintain a certain degree of independence as Graf Spee's comradeship . The students of the comradeship who were active at the time managed to keep members of the NS student union away from their community. a. by the (not harmless) expulsion of a student from the corp house who was recognized as an informant.

With the support of Cisaria's (former) old rulers, a return to the old tradition was secretly sought, especially since the end of the Nazi state was looming. Cisars and Munich Swabians secretly reopened their corps and on November 20, 1944, despite the continued ban, founded the Munich Senior Citizens' Convention, which - unique in Germany - unites all Weinheim and Kösener corps in Munich. After the end of the war, Cisaria initially appeared as the "academic association Cisa", but the old name was adopted again two years later. With the active support of six voluntarily reactivated old men, the restitution of the active Corps Cisaria took place in 1949, which has continued uninterrupted since then.

Corp house

Cisarenhaus, Münzstr. 8 (1910)

In 1909, Cisaria first moved into its own corps house at Münzstrasse 8, diagonally across from the Hofbräuhaus am Platzl , in the vicinity of which a number of corps and other connections had already settled. The municipal building officer Richard Schachner was responsible for the plans . The house housed the restaurant of the Regensburg sausage kitchen on the ground floor , an inn that had previously been in the same place. On the first floor there were rented common rooms, on the second and third floors the pub and common rooms of the Cisaria. The top floor was developed for the landlord's apartment and a fencing floor . The utility kitchen with side rooms and a bowling alley were in the basement. The Bavarian artist Paul Neu designed the colored glass windows in the ballroom, which depict student motifs and can still be viewed today. The corp house was destroyed in the air raids on Munich , but rebuilt in a different form in the post-war period . 1959 - 50 years after the inauguration - it was ready to move into again. In 1996 it was renovated and redesigned. The corps sisters donated the ceiling painting in the ballroom; it was executed by the Berlin painter Peter Schubert .
