The corps members of Guestfalia Greifswald are also referred to as "Greifswalder Westphalia".

history

The Corps Guestfalia was founded on July 9, 1837. Suspended in the mid-1840s, it was reconstituted on June 10, 1852 by Greifswalder Prussia . In 1856 Guestfalia provided the suburb of the KSCV . From 1880 to February 21, 1885 Guestfalia was again suspended. The Corps had had its own house at Stralsunder Strasse 9 since 1905.

When the KSCV was brought into line in 1933, Guestfalia again ran the local business. The local spokesman Mohr was in fact ousted by the newly appointed "leader" of the KSCV Max Blunck . After the association disbanded under pressure from the Nazi regime, the corps also ceased active operations on October 7, 1935. The old rulers supported the development of the SC comradeship Yorck , which was based more closely on the former Corps Borussia. It existed until March 1945. Because of the political conditions in the GDR territory , reconstitution in Greifswald after the end of the war was not possible. The old rulers therefore operated the union with the oldest cartel corps, Guestphalia Bonn, to form the Corps Guestphalia Bonn and Greifswald zu Bonn . It was carried out on January 27, 1951. The Greifswald traditions were continued in the merger of the two corps.

On June 10, 1993 Guestfalia was able to reconstitute in Greifswald . Since the winter semester of 2000, the corps has been based in the Corpshaus at Karl-Marx-Platz 16 in Greifswald.
