history

Montania was founded in 1868 as the connection "Montana" with the colors black-green-gold by the students James Wayne, Carl Alberts, Julius Grillo and Robert Bunsen. It emerged from the "Verein zum lustigen Arschleder", founded in May 1867 under the influence of the Giessener Hessen Adolf Hess and the Marburg Teuton Jaeger, which for the first time brought corps student traditions and a comment based on the university corps to Clausthal. What was unusual in the early years was the large number of members from the United States and South America at the time. As a result of the Franco-Prussian War , Montana had to suspend just two years later. The South American members who remained in Clausthal founded a corps with the name "America" and the colors blue-white-red, which on January 1, 1872 became the corps "America-Montana" (from 1873: Americo-Montana) as the successor to both associations was converted. Together with the Corps Hercynia , it founded the Clausthal Seniors 'Convent in 1872 , which was accepted into the Weinheim Seniors' Convent (WSC) in 1874. In 1883 the name was changed to Montania.

When, at the end of May 1883, an application in Weinheim to exclude the SC zu Freiberg and Clausthal from the WSC failed, most senior citizens' conventions left the association. With the exit or exclusion of the SC zu Dresden and Darmstadt in 1884, it consisted only of the SC zu Freiberg and Clausthal. In the same year the WSC was rebuilt without the corps at the mining academies. In November 1888, the Clausthaler SC also left the association with the corps at the Bergakademie Freiberg. The Clausthaler SC was admitted to the WSC on June 6, 1905 under the same conditions as the SC zu Freiberg (without renouncing).

As early as 1887, the old gentlemen of the corps founded a house treasury to build their own corps house . It also formed the basis for the establishment of the AH-Bund des Corps Montania in 1892. Today's corp house was inaugurated on January 31, 1903.

After the WSC was dissolved on October 20, 1935, the Corps also decided to dissolve it on November 2. The AH-Bund remained in existence. Members of the three Clausthaler Corps founded the Kameradschaft III, which was named after Kurt Elliesen, a member of the Corps Hercynia who fell in Upper Silesia in 1921. Former members formed the Bergakademischen Verein (BAV) after their return from the World War in 1946. From there, the Academic Association Montania was formed on July 15, 1950, which was converted back into the Corps Montania on November 11, 1950 and was officially approved by the Bergakademie in the 1951 summer semester. Since the corp house was still confiscated, the corps temporarily found a new home in the "Golden Crown". Only in June 1953 was the corp house returned to the AH-Bund des Corps.

External relations

In 1881 Montania entered into a cartel with the Corps Teutonia Freiberg (Kartell, now Palaeo-Teutonia Aachen ), and since July 1884 there has been a friendship relationship with the Corps Teutonia Dresden . Before that, there were brief relationships with the Corps Marcomannia Dresden in 1883/84.

After the contacts were temporarily suspended as a result of leaving the WSC, the relationships with the Corps Teutonia Freiberg and Teutonia Dresden were renewed as a triple alliance in 1906 and a friendship relationship with Teutonia Stuttgart was added in 1956 . Montania, Teutonia Dresden, Palaeo-Teutonia and Teutonia Stuttgart have formed the Alliance of Four since 1984 .

In the summer semester of 2012, a friendship contract was signed with the Corps Vitruvia zu Munich (WSC).
