history

The Corps Hassia was founded on September 27, 1840 with the colors green-white-red, green cap with white-red stripes and the motto "One for all, all for one" as a corps at the higher industrial school Darmstadt, which has existed since 1836, of seven students founded. It is therefore the oldest student association and the oldest Weinheimer Corps in Darmstadt, as well as a co-founder of the Darmstadt Senior Citizens' Convention .

A circle of friends of the Hessians with the same colors had already existed there before that, and a Corps Franconia since 1838, which was suspended in the early 1940s. With this corps and the corps Germania (1843-1854), Allemania (1848-1854) and Rhenania (1849-1853) founded afterwards, Hassia was in a lively pauk and kneip relationship and a first Darmstadt boys' convention should have existed even then.

For the period from November 29, 1840 to December 3, 1843, Hassia changed the colors to green-white-gold, since the Corps Hassia Gießen , with which there was close contact through common corps boys, wore the previous colors. The corps then switched back to its founding colors, which were no longer worn by the Corps Hassia Gießen .

The economic and political restrictions in the revolutionary years around 1848 had a detrimental effect on the development of the corps, which had flourished up to that point, so that the Hassia corps had to suspend the SS in 1856 after a police action and judicial investigations. As early as August 19, 1857, with the support of former Hessians, the successor corps Arminia with the green-white-red colors was founded, which existed until 1864.

On October 18, 1869, the Corps Hassia was reconstituted with the same colors, motto, coat of arms and circles as in 1840, but with a white cap. Together with the Corps Rhenania Darmstadt , founded in 1872 with the support of Hassia , the Darmstadt Seniors 'Convent (DSC) was founded on October 10, 1872, and joined the Weinheim Seniors' Convent (WSC) on May 22, 1874 .

When the Grand Ducal Polytechnic School, which had emerged from the Höhere Gewerbschule, was converted into the Technical University of Darmstadt in 1877, the development of the Corps was secured for decades. In 1896 the friendship relationship with the Corps Rhenania Stuttgart , which still exists today, was established .

In 1899 the first Hassia corp house in Sandstrasse could be moved into. After the First World War , during which activities were suspended, a new, successful start followed, until the National Socialist seizure of power created a difficult university political situation, which made it necessary to suspend the Corps Hassia on October 12, 1935. However, the old rule could continue to exist.

After the Second World War , the Corps was reconstituted on June 11, 1949 by taking up the “Die Breuberger” student association founded on December 17, 1946 with the old colors, motto, circles and principles. After the temporary reconstruction of the old house, which had been destroyed by bombs, the newly acquired, today's corp house was given its new purpose in 1956. The house was designed and built in 1911 by the architect Wilhelm Koban for the then Norwegian consul Karl Kotzenberg. In 1990 the 150th foundation festival was celebrated in the house.

In the 2007/2008 winter semester, official active operations were again suspended due to staff shortages. The reduced active operation and the reconstruction took place in silence. At the 170th foundation festival in 2010, the course was set for reconstitution, which ended the suspension at the beginning of the 2011 summer semester.
