history

Foundation, endowment

After the foundation of the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität by King Friedrich Wilhelm III. von Prussia on October 18, 1818, students from Westphalia met in the summer semester of 1819 in the restaurant near Ermekeil in Bonn on the market. This is where the Bonner corps life began, as Westphalian compatriots brought the principles of the Westphalian cartel from other universities to Bonn and thus created a counterweight to the fraternity direction. The Westphalian cartel was closed by corps at various universities that bore the name Guestphalia and whose members came from Westphalia. These corps had basically the same constitutions, the same motto and were colored green-black-white, changed in 1821 to green-white-black. The Corps Guestphalia emerged from this country team at Ermekeil. The corps gave up recruiting its members exclusively by country teams soon after it was founded.

On March 15, 1820, the Corps Guestphalia Bonn was first mentioned. The founders of the corps are Ludwig von Hausen, Wilhelm Lyncker, Karl Grundschöttel, Wilhelm Heinrich Winzer, Abraham Rose and Ignaz Ferdinand Wünnenberg. With the exception of Wünnenberg and Rose, they belonged to the so-called Westphalian cartel . You were previously Göttingen, Halle or Heidelberg Westphalen.

On May 18, 1820, the Corps Guestphalia Bonn went public after the final exemption from the guardianship of the fraternity. Guestphalia had been recognized as an independent corps in a general student assembly. According to the “Boy Customs of the Bonner Boyhood Community” enacted in the summer of 1819, this was not possible up to that day, as no closer connection in any form was allowed to exist that was constituted against the will of the general public. May 18, 1820 is today considered the foundation day of the Corps Guestphalia Bonn.

Heinrich Heine studied in Bonn in the winter semester of 1819/20 and in the summer semester of 1820. There he met his Düsseldorf school friend Ignaz Ferdinand Wünnenberg, who was active in the Corps Guestphalia. Heine wrote a snappy poem about him in 1815 - the Wünnebergiade. Through his relationship with the Corps Guestphalia Bonn, as a Rhinelander, after moving to Göttingen, Heine got in touch with a member of the Westphalian cartel, the Corps Guestphalia Göttingen, and became a member there.

After the murder of August von Kotzebue on March 23, 1819, the Karlovy Vary resolutions were confirmed by the Bundestag in Frankfurt on September 20, 1819 , which resulted in the persecution of demagogues . The resolutions were not lifted until the March Revolution in 1848. The Corps Guestphalia Bonn suffered from the persecution of demagogues. This difficult time was one of the reasons for great political commitment. The following Bonn guests were members of the freely elected National Assembly in the Frankfurt Paulskirche in 1848, and this in different parliamentary groups. These were the corps brothers Joseph Brockhausen , Ludwig Franz Houben , Gottfried Friedrich Johann Julius Ostendorf , Carl Overweg , Conrad von Rappard , Johann Gerhardt Röben , Carl Schorn and Julius Wiethaus .

In addition, with Stephan Friedrich Evertsbusch , August Reichensperger and Jodocus Donatus Hubertus Temme , three races of the Guestphalia were also members of the Frankfurt National Assembly.

In order to strengthen corps life in Bonn, the Bonn Westphale Wilhelm Sack founded the Corps Hansea Bonn with other former members of the Corps Palatia on July 3, 1849 . Wilhelm Sack was sent to a conference in Jena in the summer of 1848 as a representative of the Corps Guestphalia Bonn, where he was involved in the founding of the Kösener Association ( Kösener Senioren-Convents-Verband (KSCV)). In July 1849 the CC approved the draft of the Kosen statutes before it. The SC zu Bonn joined the Kösener Seniors Convents Association (KSCV) by resolution of August 6, 1849.

1871-1914

The Franco-Prussian War of 1870/71 and its consequences were partly responsible for the suspension of the Corps Guestphalia Bonn. After the end of the campaign, only a relatively small number of the earlier active returned to study in Bonn. Since the end of the 1860s, there was also a lively association system, which made it difficult for the corps to flourish again. At the university itself, student associations of the respective faculties were founded, to which the students increasingly turned.

The Kulturkampf promoted denominational associations at the university, which made the recruitment of new corps members from Westphalia and the Rhineland, with its strong Catholic population, more difficult.

The Corps Guestphalia suspended from November 1871 to 1874 and from 1876 to reconstitute itself on August 5, 1884 with the support of its Cartel Corps Silesia and Starkenburgia.

During the imperial era , the Bonn corps experienced a great social rise. The corps studenthood was shaped as an ideal for the educated middle class. Alexander von Claer supported Leonhard Zander in 1881 with his Kösener reform initiative.

First house of Guestphalia in Baumschulallee

In the summer of 1894, Guestphalia acquired the corp house at Baumschulallee 22.

1914-1945

The First World War put an abrupt end to active corps life. Corps operations were suspended from the winter semester of 1914 until the end of the war. As early as the end of 1918, the first corps brothers reported actively to Guestphalia after being discharged from the army. Corps operations were resumed at the beginning of March 1919 with great difficulty. The corp house had been requisitioned as an English officers' mess and was therefore withdrawn from active use. In mid-October 1919, the crew released the corp house so that all events could take place there again. In 1920 the Corps Guestphalia celebrated its 100th foundation festival. The hotel on the Petersberg near Königswinter (on the right bank of the Rhine) was chosen as the festival location, as the left bank of the Rhine was occupied by the French at the time and there was fear of disruption to the festivities. The twenties were the heyday of the Corps and the active years were accordingly strong.

The takeover of power by the National Socialists in 1933 did not stop at the Corps either. The policy of the NSDAP led to the " Gleichschaltung ", that is, to the dissolution of all social groups that it could not adequately control. The introduction of the “ Führer principle ” contradicted the corporation principle of democratic decision-making. Guestphalia adopted the leader principle in the hope that it would not endanger its existence. The uniformed national comrade who was brought into line did not meet the expectations of many corps brothers. The law on the restoration of the civil service required all student associations to exclude “non-Aryan” members and those who were married to women of Jewish or Jewish descent. Affected corps brothers anticipated this by leaving, which was accepted by the corps in the hope of avoiding a forced closure, which, however, was diametrically opposed to the corps principle. On September 28, 1935, the HKSCV dissolved itself. Guestphalia suspended on May 15, 1936. Some old men of Guestphalia, Hansea and Palatia had tried in December 1938 to maintain a corps life in the so-called comradeship "Ernst vom Rath". This did not succeed because the comradeship "Ernst vom Rath", like all comradeships founded at the universities, was an institution of the National Socialist German Student Union . The majority of the old men refused to support her. At the beginning of 1940 it disbanded.

1945-1993

Shaken by the catastrophe of the Second World War , but not discouraged, the old gentlemen began thinking about reopening the corps in autumn 1945. Since all corps life was forbidden by the British military administration, people met under the name “die Baumschüler”, remembering corps life in the tree nursery avenue before the war. On November 5, 1947, active operations were resumed in rented premises. In January 1950 Guestphalia was one of the 22 corps that joined together in the interest group and prepared the re-establishment of the KSCV. Under her chairmanship it took place on May 19, 1951 at the Godesburg .

Since the Corps Guestfalia Greifswald had no opportunity to rebuild in their old homeland Greifswald due to the political circumstances in the area of ​​the former GDR, 63 old gentlemen of Guestfalia Greifswald were appointed on January 27, 1951 on the basis of the cartel that had existed since May 27, 1861 accepted into the Corps Guestphalia Bonn. Furthermore, the Corps undertook to actively promote reconstitution in Greifswald if it was possible . The tradition of the Kartellcorps Guestfalia Greifswald was continued and also documented by the addition of the name “and Greifswald”. At that time the Corps Guestphalia Bonn was called Corps Guestphalia Bonn und Greifswald zu Bonn and from 1984 led the Greifswald Circle in addition to the Bonn Circle.

In 1954, the company was able to move into the new corp house at Wilhelmstrasse 50, where active operations have continued uninterrupted to this day.

Since 1993

When the Guestfalia Greifswald was reconstituted on June 10, 1993, the Corps Guestphalia Bonn and Greifswald zu Bonn fulfilled its obligation of January 27, 1951. Since then, both corps have been using their old names Guestphalia Bonn and Guestfalia Greifswald again and are linked in friendship and by many old gentlemen.
