history

Foundation phase

At the end of the summer semester of 1813, the first Kiel fraternity was formed . As a special feature in Kiel, it included almost the entire student body at that time, but was canceled in this form at Easter 1823. On August 31, 1823 the Corps Holsatia was founded. Because the Saxonia was backdated to 1838, in 1895 it adopted August 1, 1818 as the foundation day. However, there is no concrete evidence of this date.

In 1829, a second Corps Slesvicia with the colors blue-white-red was founded from Holsatia, which together with Holsatia formed the first senior citizens' convent in Kiel . In 1833 both were united to form Slesvico-Holsatia, which was later suspended and re-established on January 23, 1838.

The Corps has been a member of the Kösener Seniors Convents Association (KSCV) since 1859 . The SC zu Kiel did not join the KSCV until 1865.

Holsatia in the Schleswig-Holstein War

Through its participation in the Schleswig-Holstein War (1848-1851) and members from the Schleswig-Holstein nobility as well as the other old student associations in Kiel, the Corps is closely linked to the history of Schleswig-Holstein . After the outbreak of the March Revolution in Germany, Prussian troops marched into Denmark in 1848 under Field Marshal Friedrich Graf von Wrangel . The Prussians found support from voluntary associations, to which the Kiel student corps belonged. Under the leadership of the Kiel Holsaten Harald Kjer and under the flag of the Corps Holsatia, Kiel students went to war on the Prussian side and suffered a devastating defeat by the Danes on April 9, 1848 in the Battle of Bau , northwest of Flensburg. At the same time, Friedrich Graf von Reventlou , also a member of the Corps Holsatia, tried to find a political solution to the conflict as a member of the Provisional Government of Schleswig-Holstein , and Friedrich Adamson von Moltke took a pro-Danish stance.

Holsatia-Borussia

In the post-war period , Holsatia suggested deepening cartel relations with the suspended and expelled Corps Borussia Breslau . This enabled old men to join the old men of the other corps as extraordinary members. A joint committee of five recommended that the members of the student sailing community Holsatia , founded in 1947, be accepted. The Holsteiner band received Borussias Schwarz as a percussion . Borussia's B was inserted into the H of Holsatia's circle at the top right. The seven SSG members were accepted into the Corps Holsatia-Borussia at Holsatia's Christmas bar in 1948. In public they wore black sailing hats with red, white and red stripes. The old rulers of both corps mutually agreed in May 1950 in Hanover to separate and sign a new cartel agreement . Holsatia reintroduced the old colors in July 1950; Borussia awarded the Prussian ribbon to the ten inactive people who had worn the black percussion; Holsatia pledged to support Borussia with a reconstitution. Bernhard Sprengel signed the cartel agreement for Holsatia and Kurt Härtel for Borussia.

200 year celebration

From June 13th to 16th, 2013 Holsatia celebrated the 200th foundation festival. Almost all Kösener Corps were represented at the Kommers in the Kiel Yacht Club . At the ceremony, Gerhard Fouquet, President of Christian-Albrechts-Universität Kiel, and Peter Harry Carstensen, former Prime Minister of Schleswig-Holstein, gave the speeches.

Others

The Holsteiner H. Rönne headed the extraordinary Kösener Congress in Halle (Saale) in 1911 , which was about the new version of the Kösener statutes. After the self-dissolution of the KSCV, the Corps ceased active operations in 1936. In January 1950, Holsatia was one of the 22 corps that joined forces in the interest group and prepared the reconstitution of the KSCV. Holsatia was the presiding suburban corps in the KSCV in 2000 and, with Reinhard Hein Rhenaniae Tübingen, was the chairman of the oKC.

External relations

Holsatia belongs to the Green Circle within the Kösener Seniors Convents Association and is in the cartel with Borussia Breslau in Cologne and Aachen and is friends with Guestphalia Halle , Franconia Jena , Franconia Munich , Rhenania Würzburg and Guestphalia Berlin .

Corp house

Even after the turn of the century , Holsatia had her domicile in Prince Heinrich . In the autumn of 1910, the old Kieler Holsaten association acquired the property at Feldstrasse 42 (corner of Lornsenstrasse), where the first corp house, which was occupied in the summer semester of 1911, was built. It contained an apartment for the corps servant and a kitchen in the basement, a pub room and dining room ("Schifferstube") on the ground floor and four living rooms, and later a library on the upper floor. On July 6, 1944, the house was destroyed with the exception of the outer walls in the air raids on Kiel . The property was sold after the war. In Kiel-Düsternbrook , today's corp house was built on Niemannsweg.

Sailing

The Corps Holsatia has an old and strong tradition of sailing. The Starboat No. 841 Königsau took part in the first German championship of the star boats in 1931 as part of the Kieler Woche and achieved 5th place. They also competed in the next few years. You became 7 out of 7 (1933) and 6 out of 8 (1934). Then the trail of the boat is lost. It is not recorded in the ISCYRA records today.
