The Corps Marchia Breslau was a student union at the Silesian Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität in the 19th century .

history

After the Treaty of Tilsit , Prussia moved the Brandenburg University of Frankfurt from Frankfurt (Oder) to Breslau in 1811 . The Corps Marchia I, founded in the same year with the colors orange and white, only lived four years.

The background to the founding of Marchia II was the split of the Breslau Seniors' Convent on March 1, 1849. Silesia had formed a counter-SC against Borussia and Lusatia and incorporated a Ghibellinia country team, which was constituted on June 11, 1849 as Corps Marchia . At the end of February 1850, Borussia and a little later Lusatia changed sides, so that the reunited SC could join the KSCV as early as 1850 .

The colors were like the Märker Corps in Berlin and Halle orange-white-gold (counted from the bottom). The fox colors were orange-white-orange. The student hat and the striker worn in summer were orange. The motto was Virtute et fide crescat Marchia! In the student coat of arms , the Märkische Adler was reminiscent of Frankfurt in Brandenburg , and the seven St. Andrew's crosses were reminiscent of the seven founders of the corps.

The "respected corps" (history of the Lusatia) had to suspend on November 4, 1860 after only eleven years due to a lack of young people. Two attempts at reconstitution failed: in November 1861 with Silesia, when Lusatia had suspended Breslau and a third corps was missing, and in December 1864 with the new Marcomannia .

According to the Kösener Corps lists in 1910 , Marchia Breslau had 99 members. Most were lawyers , many in high civil service. The Marchia old gentlemen's association, which was probably not founded until 1888, was a member of the VAC . The last Breslauer Märker was the Geh. Counselor Julius Meyer Nassoviae, lawyer and notary in Münster .

Marchia and Silesia vied for the favor of the white circle . The fact that the "real" offspring did not come and the corps had to be suspended was mainly due to the Prussian army increase. The parallels to the fate of the Silber-Litthauer and the Hallenser Märker are obvious.
