The SC zu Leipzig is the senior citizens' convent of the corps at the University of Leipzig .

history

The Alma Mater Lipsiensis, founded in 1409, was divided into four nations based on the model of Charles University in Prague : the Meissen, Baier, Saxon and Polish. The students from Lusatia and Silesia also belonged to the Polish population. Also according to their regions of origin, students came together in private country associations. Student orders have existed alongside them since the middle of the 18th century . They were replaced by the modern country teams (Corps) Lusatia , Misnia (I) and Thuringia (I). The first SC, formed by them in 1807, took over recruiting according to regions of origin from the old country teams in the 1808 comment . He fought the orders, but like them emphasized the cultivation of friendship within the closer union and the preservation of a student's own class consciousness in the class society . An attempt by a noble fencing company to eliminate the supremacy of the SC failed ; The disputes led to the relegation of the responsible Lusatian and Thuringian senior Theodor Körner . Many active people fought in the wars of liberation and shared the national and liberal ideas that dominated the student body . The SC was therefore represented at the Wartburg Festival in 1817 ; but he opposed the original fraternity and remained independent. Lusatia and Saxonia , which joined in 1812 , continuously formed the core of the SC, which was composed differently in the 19th century. Besides them, only Thuringia (1847) and Budissa (1859) remained permanently. The Corps Guestphalia I (1847) only existed for two months. Guestphalia II, founded in 1849, was suspended in 1904 and has expired.

The SC zu Leipzig was one of the founders of the General SC Jena-Leipzig-Halle (1821) and the Kösener SC Association (1848); at the corps assembly on July 15, 1848 in Jena, the Leipziger SC was represented by a Lausitzer. After Lusatia, Saxonia and Misnia (III) , a “newly established” connection Thuringia was received on August 18, 1848 as the “fourth corps” in the SC; but "already on December 9th, 1848 she announced her resignation in order to continue as a country team in the future". Thuringia was re-admitted to the SC on May 15, 1850, but only existed until November 17, 1852. Today's Thuringia (IV) was donated as a Landsmannschaft on February 20, 1863 and accepted into the SC on March 6, 1868.

On site

The SC zu Leipzig was a suburb of the KSCV in 1860, 1861, 1875, 1896 and 1914.

Others

A Leipziger Kommersbuch from 1816 with a dedication by Heinrich Moritz Chalybäus is preserved in the archive of the Corps Thuringia Leipzig .

Position on the university

For more than a hundred years, the SC zu Leipzig saw itself as representing the interests of the Leipzig student body. The university attached great importance to his participation in the organization of college celebrations; this already happened at the pageant for the 400th university anniversary in 1809. On the other hand, the university court pursued the student graduation in the 19th century as "duels". Numerous active members of the SC were punished with detention or relegation .

The SC was active in university politics several times :

  • At the general student assembly in 1844, he advocated the introduction of freedom of hearing and the abolition of the compulsory testament, the establishment of a gymnasium for students and a revision of the prison regulations. The petition to the Academic Senate, written for the SC by Friedrich Heinrich Immisch under the official title "Immisch and Consorten", denounced abuses in the detention center and brought about a reorganization.
  • In 1869 the SC sharply distinguished itself from the general political aspirations of the fraternity , emphasized its line of university policy and, in contrast to the fraternity, advocated the autonomy of the university, in particular the retention of academic jurisdiction. The SC had the campaign pamphlet written by Ferdinand Lindner printed and sent it to the responsible politicians and authorities.
  • In 1911 the SC played a leading role in setting up a new general student committee at the University of Leipzig.

Suspension and replacement corps

In 1887, the University Court punished the entire SC with a suspension of three semesters for violating the disciplinary rules, because, according to the then prevailing terms of honor , he had discredited another connection .

The "replacement corps" Cimbria (Lusatia), Neoborussia (Saxonia), Rhenania (Thuringia) and Frisia (Guestphalia), camouflaged with their own colors and circles , continued the SC with the Misnia III , reconstituted in 1888 . The writer Walter Bloem , who was active at Cimbria (Lusatia), later processed the life of the SC in the three emperor's year in literary terms.

Synchronization and a new beginning

Under the pressure of the egalitarian National Socialism , the SC disbanded in 1935/36. In order to pass on the corps students to the younger generation, the old rulers of the four corps supported the common SC comradeship Margrave von Meißen in the National Socialist German Student Union since 1937 . From it, members of the Leipzig student companies constituted the Corps Misnia IV during the Second World War . When it moved its headquarters to Erlangen in Germany in the post-war period after the Second World War , it was recognized as the SC successor corps by representatives of the four old manors in 1948, but was given sustained support only from the Lausitzers. The Meißner suspended in 1949 and continued to run the Lusatia in Erlangen, which was reconstituted at the same time. The four old Leipzig Corps now went different ways:

  • Lusatia belonged to the Berliner SC from 1958 to 1992, but immediately after German reunification in 1990 it began active operations in Leipzig and received the rights of an SC to Leipzig from the oKC in 1992 as a single corps until 2001.
  • Saxonia existed in Frankfurt am Main since 1951 and in Augsburg from 1973. In 2002 she returned to Leipzig.
  • In 1953, Thuringia and her old men joined the Rhenania Bonn cartel corps , reconstituted in Saarbrücken in 1971, maintained a second headquarters in Leipzig in 1992/93 and finally returned there in 2001.
  • Budissa and some of her old men first joined the Makaria Guestphalia in Würzburg in 1953 , but reconstituted independently in Passau in 1984 and stayed there.

The SC zu Leipzig, which now consists of three corps, revised its comment in 2005. The comment of the Central German Consensus Convent applies to fencing, which largely corresponds to the Glockenschläger Paukcomment of the Berliner SC. The batch numbers are xxx, xx, x.

Guestphalia Leipzig

Circle

A first guestphalia with the colors green-white-black existed from June 26, 1847 to September 1, 1847. The Kösener corps lists from 1910 have 10 members, including Bernhard von Friesen and Ludwig Emil Puttrich .

Bernhard von Schönberg donated Guestphalia II on June 9, 1849 as a Landsmannschaft . The color was the "Westphalian" colors green-white-black. On March 6, 1855, recipients of the SC at Leipzig , the Corps participated in the reconstitution of the HKSCV on May 26, 1855. When the SC was suspended by the university on March 12, 1887, Guestphalia donated a "Frisia". It had the colors white-green-white with a silver percussion and a green cap. The suspension ended on September 10, 1888. Suspended again from January 12, 1895 to July 21, 1899, the Corps finally ceased operations on October 20, 1904. It was in the cartel with the Corps Friso-Luneburgia Göttingen and was friends with the Corps Guestphalia Bonn . Among the 302 members (1910) are Woldemar Born , Friedrich Brütt , Karl Buff , Carl Credé , Leo Eichstaedt , Friedrich Falk , Julius Goerdeler , Robert Hagedorn , Kurt von Hertzberg , Theodor Kölliker , Carl Kurtz , Paul Liepmann , Richard Lucke , Philipp Meyer , Otto Georg zu Münster-Langelage , Louis Niemeyer , Ernst Plenio , Gustav von Salmuth , Hermann Schreyer , Erich von Siegfried , Franz Carl Stradal , Bernhard Strödel , Adolf Thiele and Ernst Wollenberg .
