history

prehistory

After the Corps Montania Freiberg had formally dissolved on May 5, 1837 in order to avoid state persecution as a result of the Carlsbad resolutions , there was a loose association in Freiberg with the principle of satisfaction, Knappschaft Franconia . It only lasted about a year. Soon this loose form of association was no longer sufficient for all members.

Corps Franconia 1838 to 1845

On March 5, 1838, three members of the Corps Franconia Jena , one of whom also belonged to the Corps Montania Freiberg, which was still suspended, founded the Corps Franconia at the Bergakademie Freiberg. "Gladius sit vindex noster!" Was chosen as the weapon slogan and "Honor, happiness, unity!" On February 22, 1841, Franconia and Montania formed the Freiberg Seniors' Convent (SC), which subsequently broke up several times in disputes, was rebuilt on January 21, 1843 and two days later the Corps Saxo-Borussia was added. The Freiberger SC represented almost 60 percent of the student body at that time.

While Saxo-Borussia was very popular with the student body, SC Franconia and Montania joined forces on January 24, 1844 due to a lack of members to form Corps Franco-Montania with the colors blue-red-gold, after Franconia had previously been suspended for two months had been. The motto was "Unity holds power!", Which later also became the motto of Franconia.

At the beginning of 1845 there was a pistol duel between Franco-Montanen Ludwik von Dembinski and the lieutenant of the 1st Light Cavalry Regiment von Wolfersdorf, which ended fatally for Count Dembinski. Dembinski's second Hans Max Philipp von Beust handed the second of Lieutenant Woltersdorf, Rittmeister von Paskowski, a demand for sabers under more stringent conditions because of his behavior during the duel. Since Paskowski did not accept the demand and insisted against the practice of carrying it out with pistols, Paskowski was declared by the student body to be no longer satisfactory by writing to the officers' corps. Since all but two German and two Swiss students were not prepared to withdraw this declaration, the academy was closed after a second unsuccessful attempt on February 11, 1845 to change its mind. All 54 signatories had to leave Freiberg. Franco-Montania was dissolved on February 17, 1845. On April 1, 1845, lectures were resumed after the resumption of requests from most of the mining academics had been approved. The Franco-Montanen directly involved in the duel remained relegated.

Corps Franconia 1848 to 1935

On May 5, 1848, the Corps Franconia was reconstituted. From February 26, 1852 to May 28, 1853 she was suspended because of weak active stock and then formed a SC again with Montania. From the end of the summer semester of 1854 to March 8, 1856, Franconia was again suspended. On April 3, 1856, she met again with Montania to form a SC, which was characterized by disputes and has since been dissolved several times. On March 17, 1860 Franconia, Montania and Saxo-Borussia merged again to form a SC. The German War led to low numbers of active members in Freiberg, whereupon Franconia suspended on November 27, 1866 and was only able to reconstitute on May 8, 1877. After another suspension from January 26, 1881 to July 12, 1882, Franconia joined forces with Montania, Saxo-Borussia and Teutonia to form a SC, which, in contrast to its predecessors, lasted until the forced dissolution of the SC in 1935, except for a brief disruption . From the reconstitution of 1882 until its dissolution in 1889, Franconia was a member of the Weinheim Seniors' Convent (WSC). On May 14, 1902, she joined the renewed WSC. In order to avoid being brought into line by the National Socialists , the active corps suspended on October 27, 1935.

Comradeship Berghauptmann von Herder

During the forced dissolution of the active corps, the old men’s association of Franconia, together with the old men’s associations of Montania and Saxo-Borussia, looked after a comradeship founded in April 1938, which was later named Kameradschaft Berghauptmann von Herder .

Reactivation of the old gentlemen's association from 1948 to 1953

On July 10, 1948, the old association was reactivated. On the same day this merged with the old gentlemen's association of the Cartel Corps Hercynia Clausthal to form the Association of Former Franks and Hercyns . This association dissolved in the summer semester of 1952. On November 4, 1952, the old gentlemen of Franconia re-founded the old gentlemen's association, thus creating the conditions for the reconstitution of the active corps at a West German university.

Corps Franconia Fribergensis in Aachen since 1953

In 1953 it was re-established in Aachen under the name "Corps Franconia Fribergensis". In 1957, the old men living in the Federal Republic of Germany bought the house in Salierallee, where the Corps celebrated its 175th anniversary in 2013. In the winter semester 1990/91 and in the summer semester 1991 Franconia was the “Presiding Corps in the SC zu Aachen as a suburb in the WSC” with Andreas Kaiser as the first suburb spokesman at the Weinheim Seniors' Convent.

Cartel and friendship relationships

On July 1, 1905, the Corps Franconia Fribergensis concluded a friendship agreement with the Corps Hercynia Clausthal , which was expanded to a cartel agreement on July 10, 1926 and confirmed again on July 17, 1955. A cartel concluded with the Corps Silvania Tharandt in Dresden around 1850 exists today as a friendship. It is one of the few existing friendships between a Weinheimer and a Kösener corps.
