history

Marchia was founded on December 3, 1881 as an Academic Medical Association (AMV) and was a member of the Goslar Cartel Association of scientific and medical associations at German universities from 1895 to 1921. The old gentlemen's association, which was founded in 1897, was able to initially rent and buy its own corporation house on Baustraße in Greifswald in 1920 and then in 1926 . In the summer semester of 1922, the AMV finally changed to the colored, exposed connection Marchia. On February 20, 1923, they declared themselves a corps, introduced determination censors and applied for admission as a renouncing corps to the Rudolstadt Senior Citizens' Convention (RSC). At Pentecost 1923, the medical and natural science association Normannia Münster (moss green-white-gold; founded on May 6, 1896) joined the Marchia. On February 1, 1924, she was finally accepted into the RSC. The Marchia Weinheimer Corps became the Marchia Weinheimer Corps through the decision of the association leaders of WSC and RSC on March 25, 1934, that "the RSC goes up in the WSC"

Nazi era

The National Socialist German Student Union (NSDStB) had been founded as early as 1926 and emerged from the NSDAP as an academic arm . 1931 NSDStB took the lead of the German Student Union (DST) and 1932 which was the same circuit completed. The law on the formation of student bodies at scientific universities of April 22, 1933 led to the compulsory membership of all German students in the DSt and to the introduction of the leader principle there . As early as autumn 1933, before the introduction of the Reich Labor Service in 1935, labor service became compulsory for students. In 1933, the DSt leader Oskar Stäbel sent a circular to all associations to impose membership in one of the armed forces subordinate to the SA chief of staff ( SA , SS , Stahlhelm ).

On October 22, 1933, Hans Klose was appointed corps leader at the Marchia and at the end of the summer semester of 1933 the student members of the corps, with the exception of one inactive , who was already a member of the Stahlhelmbund, joined the SA as a whole. The corps house of Marchia was set up as a comradeship home for the winter semester 1933/34, according to an instruction of the RSC association leader of September 3, 1933, and made available to the active. As the continued existence of the corps was ultimately considered hopeless under these circumstances, the corps leader Klose decided on November 10, 1935 to suspend the active corps. The traditional objects and the corps archive could be housed at Märker Härtel's private villa in Dresden . However, they were completely destroyed by the Allies in the air raids on Dresden on February 17, 1945 . The corp house was sold to the city of Greifswald on April 1, 1936 and made available to the Bund Deutscher Mädel (BDM). A cooperation in the care of a NS comradeship desired by the NS-Altherrenbund from 1937 onwards did not find a majority in the Altherrenverband der Marchia.

After the Second World War

The old gentlemen's association of Marchia, which unofficially continued to exist from 1935 and continued to maintain solidarity among the Märkern, was restituted on March 3, 1953. Since student associations in the German Democratic Republic were banned on December 3, 1953, the old gentlemen's associations of Marchia, Franconia Halle and Irminsul united in 1954 to form a common old men association of the Corps Irminsul. The Irminsul pledged to keep the tradition of the Halle and Greifswald Corps alive and to restitute them if that should be possible in the future.

After reunification

Corp house

After German reunification , the Marchia was finally established on January 25, 1992 by the Irminsul Corps and with the help of about 30 members of the Irminsul Old Masters Association as one of the first of the traditional student associations in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and one of the first Weinheimer Corps in the new federal states opened again. The Corps was for restitution celebrations on 23 March 1992 in the auditorium of the University of Greifswald even the encouragement and support of the Rector, Hans-Juergen Zobel , as well as that of the first Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Prime Minister, Alfred Gomolka win . In 1994, today's corp house in Greifswald was acquired. Members of the Cartel Corps Cheruscia Berlin and Markomannia Bonn joined the Marchia. Members of the Irminsul, Franco-Guestphalia and other Weinheim and Kösener corps students followed. Having become independent with six to ten active members per semester, Marchia was able to philistine the first “home grown” in 2002 .

White cartel

Marchia was admitted to the White Cartel on January 23, 1993. The founding corps of the White Cartel were Cheruscia Berlin and Markomannia Bonn. Staufia Leipzig and Normannia Marburg were added later, and Irminsul and Marchia after the Second World War. Staufia merged into Markomannia, Markomannia into Franco-Guestphalia Cologne. Cheruscia joined forces in part with Rheno-Guestphalia Berlin and Teutonia Berlin to form Corps Berlin . The other Cherusci restituted the Corps in Lüneburg in 2016. Cheruscia renounced in the WSC and became a full member of the WSC and the White Cartel again at the Weinheim Conference 2019, to which the old gentlemen's association has belonged without interruption.
