Corps Guestphalia et Suevoborussia Marburg

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
coat of arms

The Corps Guestphalia et Suevoborussia Marburg is a mandatory and color-bearing student association in the Kösener Seniors Convents Association (KSCV).

The corps members are called Westphalia and Swabian Prussia or (exclusively in Marburg) were called Black Westphalia . A corresponding group membership is not meant. Rather, the adjective “black” refers to the black student cap and is only used within Marburg to distinguish it from the Marburg Landsmannschaft Hasso-Guestfalia, which wears blue caps. Its members are therefore called blue Westphalia . The fact that the Westphalians and Swabian Prussians are still commonly referred to as "Piesen" can be traced back to their pub jackets . With their color and high stand-up collar, they are reminiscent of the official clothing of a pastor who is called Piese in the Hessian dialect .

history

The Corps Guestphalia Marburg (donated May 10, 1840) and the Pépinière-Corps Suevo-Borussia (donated 1868) merged in 1978 through a merger agreement. The founding date of Guestphalia et Suevoborussia refers to Guestphalia II and is, according to the Kösener statutes, May 10, 1840 (“donated as Guestphalia”).

The Westphalian wreath (1806)

The beginning of the history of Guestphalia Marburg was formed by the Westphalian Kränzchen Foundation on June 13, 1806 with the participation of Westphalia from Halle . The colors were initially black-green-white, the motto Gloria virtutis comes!

Guestphalia I (1807)

The Westphalian Kränzchen was constituted on June 7, 1807 as the Westphalian Landsmannschaft (Guestphalia I). With the two other old country teams (the Lahnländische Landsmannschaft and the Hessische Landsmannschaft), Guestphalia formed the first Marburg Seniors' Convent on June 7, 1807 .

On July 13, 1809, she changed the colors to green-black-white. Because of official investigations and suspensions by the university, several suspensions were necessary between 1810 and 1818 . The reconstitution on December 6, 1819 took place as Corps Guestphalia with green-white-black. The motto was Gladius ultor noster! and as a heraldic motto Pectus amico, cuspido hostem! accepted.

Suspended from 1823 to July 18, 1825 and in the winter semester 1828/29, Guestphalia I temporarily split up into a Guestphalia vetus and a Guestphalia nova in the winter semester 1831/32 ; but they found each other again in the summer semester of 1832. Suspended again in the winter semester of 1833/34 and reconstituted on July 10, 1834, the corps adopted the motto Neminem time, neminem laede! on. In the same semester, some members of the Corps Schaumburgia (1831-1834) were accepted.

Despite the original ties to the Kingdom of Westphalia and the later Prussian Province of Westphalia , the majority of the members increasingly came from Kurhessen. In addition, Guestphalia I was particularly characterized by the increased membership of members of the Althessian knighthood . This fact resulted in the characterization of Guestphalia I as the “elegant corps” in Marburger SC.

Guestphalia I suspended in January 1838. A lack of members was by no means the reason for the suspension, but rather internal disputes. Some members donated the Rhenania Marburg . The covenant existed for only five months; the members donated the Hassia Marburg .

Guestphalia II (1840)

With the participation of members of Guestphalia I, the "new" Guestphalia with green-white-black and silver percussion was donated on May 10, 1840, which still exists today. The motto is In virtute honos.

The Corps Guestphalia saw itself in this "vorkösener" time as the "natural continuation" of Guestphalia I. Several historical circumstances underline this attitude.

Initially, several inactive and old gentlemen from Guestphalia I were involved in the Foundation of Guestphalia II. In addition, in the early years of Guestphalia II that followed, original members of Guestphalia I became involved within the corps. They seconded the games of the new active and also inactive from the years 1835 and 1836 fought their games now on the weapons of Guestphalia II. The external appearance also took place together. Ultimately, the Guestphalia “consciously kept its inner cohesion in the period from 1806–1844”.

The special position of Guestphalia I was also carried over to Guestphalia II. Even after 1840, 80% of the members came from Kurhessen, so that Guestphalia was also referred to as the "actually Hessian State Corps" at this time.

When this Guestphalia was initially suspended on March 8, 1844, some members donated the Buchonia .

Guestphalia III (1880) and the reconstitution of Guestphalia II

On January 31, 1880, a new Corps Guestphalia had been established independently and temporarily. This Guestphalia III renounced the SC on February 2, 1880 and was reciprocated on June 22, 1880. Resigned members of the reform association Germania who rejected the reform idea were involved in this foundation. On February 28, 1895 this Guestphalia III suspended.

The older Guestphalia II reconstituted on the same day by reactivated members of Guestphalia II and took over the active ones, the next day also the inactive and old men of the younger Guestphalia with the colors black-white-green. Since July 29, 1895, green-white-black was worn again. The Guestphalia III was thus completely absorbed in the old Guestphalia.

The first corp house became the center of corps life in 1895. The second was built in 1909/10 on Schlossberg or later Lutherstrasse according to plans by the architect Arnold Knoblauch . It is still the home of the Corps to this day.

Active operations ceased on May 19, 1936. On December 17, 1938, the SC-Kameradschaft Carl Allmenröder was founded at the Corps Teutonia Marburg house , in which the corps student tradition was continued. The comradeship lasted until Marburg was occupied by the Allies at the end of March 1945 and dissolved on March 28, 1945.

The old gentlemen's association, which was reactivated on September 11, 1948, decided to accept members of the comradeship in principle ; only three were recorded. The Academic Association of Westphalia was founded on January 14, 1949 as a bearer of tradition . Guestphalias Convent reconstituted on February 26, 1949 and took over the members of the Academic Association. The name was continued to the outside until the end of the SS 1950. In 1956 and 2002, the Corps provided the chairmen of the oKC, Friedemann Keßler and Frank Meißner . The Gießen Teutone Patrick Ranft is the local spokesman for the KSCV in 2019 and is also Westphalian and Swabian Prussia.

Suevo-Borussia

In 1978 Guestphalia merged with the Pépinière-Corps Suevo-Borussia from Berlin and Hamburg .
