The Corps Moenania is an obligatory and colored corps in the Kösener Senioren-Convents-Verband (KSCV). It brings together students and alumni of the Julius Maximilians University of Würzburg and the University of Applied Sciences Würzburg-Schweinfurt . The corps members are called "Mainländer".

Color

The student union has the color “mountain green-sulfur yellow-crimson” with golden percussion . A mountain-green hat is worn for this. The foxes wear a mountain-green-red fox ribbon. The motto comes from Schiller's poem An die Freude and reads “Ewigkeit swornen Eyden”, the coat of arms motto is “Pro libertate atque honore” (German: For freedom and honor).

history

The Corps Moenania was founded on June 6, 1814 as the “Society of the Mainlanders” in the spirit of the Enlightenment and German idealism by the students Franz Josef Volk, Philipp Geigel, Johann Winkler and Johann Baptist Schlosser. This happened at a time when, as a result of the eight-year rule over Würzburg by Ferdinand II of Tuscany (appointed due to an agreement between Francis II and Napoleon Bonaparte ), the university had reached its qualitative and quantitative low point. After Napoleon's defeats on the battlefields, a good two months after the formal end of his rule over Europe and one day after Ferdinand's departure from Würzburg, the foundation was established, which is a commitment to free, democratic, student self-government and a sign of optimism regarding the revival of the university under renewed Bavarian rule, including the attraction of “foreign” fellow students. The corps immediately opened up to these, but had to remain hidden for a long time due to political persecution.

In 1884 the AH Association (Philistine Committee) was founded, and in 1897 the newly built corp house was inaugurated. In 1900 Moenania was the presiding suburban corps and with Julius Gentes was the chairman of the oKC. From 1935 to 1948, like all connections, it was forbidden, first by the National Socialists, then by the Allies. In the period from the summer of 1941 to the end of 1944, however, there was a secret active operation, recognized by the old men as a continuation of the corps since the summer of 1942. However, this was not published due to well-founded fear of the Gestapo. In December 1948 there was a renewed resumption of active operations.

In January 1950, Moenania was one of the 22 corps that formed the community of interests and prepared the reconstitution of the KSCV. In 1984/85 Moenania and Enno Lindemann presented fr. Germania Lausanne the deputy local spokesman.
