The Academic Corps Makaria Munich is a student association in the Munich Senior Citizens' Convention . She has been in the Kösener Seniors Convents Association since 1862 and is responsible for the scale and color .

history

Makaria was donated on November 4, 1843 in Munich. The founding date was later recognized by the Historical Commission of the KSCV, but not approved by the plenum of the oKC in 1961. Maximilian II Joseph sanctioned the corps on May 26th, 1848. The ribbon consecration festival on May 31st, 1848 has been the officially recognized founding date of the corps . Makaria was reciprocated on May 16, 1850 in the Senior Citizens' Convention in Munich and on June 7, 1862 with the SC as the last Bavarian in the KSCV. On June 9, 1877 Makaria changed from a life corps to an armed forces corps . In 1878 she signed the first relationship agreement , a cartel with Alemannia Berlin.

Surname

In a departure from the national names, "Makaria" is a reference to the μακάριοι, the blessed / lucky ones of ancient Greece .

Colours

The colors black-white-red, which are worn in the ribbon and cap, also originate from the founding period around 1847. From the fact of age alone it can be seen that the colors have no relation to the imperial colors black-white-red ( German Empire , German Empire 1933 to 1945 ). The democratically organized community is the focus of the Corps. The basis is the free, democratic basic order and the close ties to the university. The Makaren are connected by wearing a common ribbon ; no matter if old or young. This intergenerational community is the basis and goal of the connection and thus strengthens cohesion. Another traditional identification mark is the circle , a curved lettering that all members of the association put behind their names internally.

Nazi era

On May 22nd, 1936, after the decree of Rudolf Hess , Makaria suspended for the first and only time. In the winter semester of 1937/38, the CC reported full activity to the rectorate, which was withdrawn for all those involved at Christmas following threats from the Gaustudentenführer with concentration camps. Active operations continued secretly. On January 11, 1939, the comradeship “Horst Wessel” had to be quartered on the Corpshaus. She knew nothing of the secret corps operation in the same house. To maintain three reception and ten inactivation parties, Makaren fought secretly against Makaren. In the summer semester of 1939 Makaria fought a six-part PP suite against the Corps Franconia Munich . On August 26, 1939, the last corps boys' convention took place. After that, all active members were drafted into the Wehrmacht . While the active operation was now really inactive, the old men held meetings until June 15, 1944.

Makaria's old gentlemen's association was approved on January 30, 1947 by a license from the American military government. Mid-semester medics reconstituted the corps in 1948. The comrades-in-arms were not taken on. Despite the general ban on fencing (until June 10, 1951), the first post-war games were fought in Munich on December 17, 1948, including a secret PP suite against the Corps Suevia Munich at the Makarenhaus. On January 17, 1949 Makaria participated in the re-establishment of the SC with Suevia, Palatia , Bavaria , Arminia and Rheno-Palatia . The CC was officially licensed on February 19, 1953.

Corp house

In 1899 the new building of the first corp house at Platzl 6 was put into operation. The unique ensemble of four three-storey corp houses designed by a planner ( Max Littmann ) stood in the “wettest spot” in Munich next to the Hofbräuhaus on the Platzl . In September 1941 the house had to be sold to the neighboring Staatliches Hofbräuamt in order to forestall an expropriation by the Nazi state in its favor. In a ten-year refund process through three instances, Makaria prevailed against the Free State of Bavaria in 1958.

Today's Makarenhaus is located at the Dietlindenstrasse underground station in northern Schwabing. Between the English Garden, Ungererbad and Münchner Freiheit, the house with a large garden, outside staircase, balcony and parking lot offers a frequently visited place for events during the semester as well as a cozy place to live and study. The house was built in 1926 and was subsequently used as a casino and publishing house. In 1963 it was acquired by the Corps because the house on Platzl had been rebuilt and was used for other purposes. In 1968 the first Corps brothers moved into the newly designed house on Ungererstrasse.

Remarks

  1. ↑ One was tired of the constant backdate requests.
  2. ↑ The Alemannia in Berlin had the colors green-white-violet. It existed from 1867 to 1887.
  3. ↑ On the origin of the name Makaria, Fabricius writes (1907): “The founders wanted to give their founding the name of the association to which Körner belonged in Leipzig. The Makaria in Leipzig was only a loose association of young poets, which the Thuringian corps boy Körner had joined on the side. The colors of the Munich Makars are modeled on the Leipzig Thuringian colors. The Makaria founders knew that Körner had worn a black, red and white ribbon, but not that this was the Thuringian ribbon. "
