history

Franconia's first corp house at Platzl 7

The corps was founded on January 29, 1836 as the first Munich weapon corps . In the Franco-Prussian War , one in five Munich Franks served in the war. Four fell.

During the First World War , the active corps and all its members were the first Munich student corporation to do military service. 38 Munich Francs fell. After the war, numerous Franks joined the SC company in the Epp Freikorps and took part in the suppression of the Ruhr uprising in 1920 .

During the time of the Nazi dictatorship, the corps was suspended at the beginning of 1936 as the NSDStB increasingly impeded its active operations . From the summer of 1938 to the summer semester of 1939, the corps continued to exist undercover. In the winter semester of 1938/39, the old rulers were assigned the NS comradeship of Manteuffel , later of Scheubner-Richter (named after Max Erwin von Scheubner-Richter ), which gradually took on corporate features and in 1940 also fought a number of qualifying degrees in Würzburg. In 1944, the Corps Franconia, Suevia and Cisaria founded the Munich SC with their own drum and honor rules. In February 1944 Franconia and Suevia fought the first sharp scale in Munich since the corps dissolved in 1935. However, operations came to a standstill again. After the war, the Corpsburschen-Convent (CC) was reconstituted on April 21, 1950.

present

In addition to the usual events organized by student associations, the Corps organizes discussion evenings and colloquia lasting several days with personalities from politics, business, culture and society. Guests were u. a. Otto von Habsburg , Wolfgang Reitzle , Günther Beckstein , Luitpold Prince of Bavaria , Katharina Wagner and Julian Nida-Rümelin .

External relations

From 1858 the green circle was formed . The triple cartel between Franconia Munich, Franconia-Jena and Bremensia was particularly influential in its development . The cartel with Franconia-Jena and Bremensia has existed since 1886 (the latter is suspended until Bremensia rejoins the Kösener Seniors Convents Association ). Official relationships with Rhenania Würzburg (1855), Hansea Bonn (1857), Tigurinia (1860), Guestphalia Berlin (1870), Pomerania (1899), Borussia Breslau (1953), Holsatia and Albertina (1953) had also existed since the 1850s .

Corp houses

In 1899, the Franconia Philistine Association had the building at 7 Platzl in Munich built by the Heilmann & Littmann construction business according to plans by the architect Max Littmann and handed it over on 22/23. July 1900 the assets for usufruct. The building with a façade made of Kirchheim shell limestone included a pub and convention room, a caretaker's apartment, a wine and beer cellar, a bowling alley, a fencing floor and a neo-baroque ballroom with a music stand for 120 people. Today a villa in the Bogenhausen district of Munich is a Corpshaus, after the Villa Hanfstaengl, which was used as a Corphaus in the meantime, at Widenmayerstraße 15 on the Isar (from 1929) was badly damaged by the war.
