The Corps Nassovia Würzburg is a student association in the Kösener Seniors Convents Association (KSCV), the second oldest umbrella organization of student corporations in Germany, Austria and Switzerland (founded in 1848). Nassovia brings together students and former students from the Julius Maximilians University of Würzburg and, more recently, from the University of Applied Sciences Würzburg-Schweinfurt . The corps is obligatory and colored . Its members are called "Würzburger Nassauer".

Nassovia carries the colors blue-white-orange . The band of the corps boys is blue-white-orange with silver percussion , that of the foxes is two-tone orange-blue . An orange hat is worn on special occasions. The motto of the corps is: "Virtuti semper corona".

The coat of arms of the corps consists of a four-part shield with a heart shield in the middle. From a heraldic point of view, in the upper field on the right there are two crossed clubs wrapped in corps ribbon and the letters GUN for the weapon motto gladius ultor noster. On the left in the upper field is the rising golden Nassauer lion on a blue background with its seven accompanying shingles, on the right in the lower field the colors of the corps are slanted in blue-white-orange, on the left in the lower field the foundation date 1 January 1836 wrapped in an oak wreath . The silver heart shield bears the corps circle. On the edge of the shield is the motto of the Corps "virtuti semper corona" in gold letters on a blue background.

Objective of the corps

The Corps Nassovia wants to train its members to become full of character, energetic and dutiful men connected to the German cultural area without influencing the political, religious and scientific direction. It is therefore also open to foreigners regardless of their origin and skin color. It demands that its members represent their own opinion as well as tolerance and respect for those who think differently. In voluntary integration into the corps community and in mutual upbringing, the young corps brothers should combine happiness with serious studies, intellectual interests with sporting activity. The corps requires its members to study and complete their training. The Nassauer takes part in the development of Europe. Lectures and discussions should promote his interest and knowledge. The corps is committed to student fencing and requires the graduation.

history

Foxes of Nassovia, 1896

The corps was founded on January 1, 1836 by Nassauer Nolte from Göttingen and twelve other Würzburg students, and on July 4, 1836, it was accepted into the Würzburg Seniors' Convent. As early as June 6, 1836, after submitting the statutes and list of members, it had received official approval. Since several active people came from Nassau and Hesse , the new connection was called "Nassovia" and the colors of the House of Nassau-Orange (blue-orange), which were expanded with the addition of white to the tricolor , were chosen as the corps colors. As the first weapons corps in Würzburg, Nassovia maintained close relationships with corps at other universities in Germany and Switzerland from the very beginning. It allowed the older corps boys to become active in another corps. At the same time, this meant mutual support between the corps, which were amicably linked to one another, which was particularly useful in times of crisis.

As the first Würzburg Corps, Nassovia, with its law students Karl and Josef von Hirsch (1831–1920), took in Jewish students in 1851 ( Moenania , Germania , Teutonia and Makaria followed ).

In 1936, Nassovia had to suspend by order of the Nazi rulers. In the comradeship "Albrecht the Bear", which took its seat in the Nassauerhaus, a small group of Würzburg students was formed in 1938, who continued the tradition of the forbidden Nassovia. After the war they received the Nassauerband (IdC) from the old gentlemen's association as recognition and thanks. After the reconstitution of the house association in 1949, active corps life could begin again in the summer semester of 1951 with the support of the ratio corps Hannovera Göttingen , Hasso-Nassovia , Franconia Tübingen and Rhenania Heidelberg .

Through a sponsorship, Nassovia ensured the continued existence of the Corps Visigothia Rostock during the time of the division of Germany after 1945 and thus made the reconstitution of the Visigothia possible after the reunification in Rostock in 1991. In 2012, Nassovia provided the KSCV's local spokesman, Matthias Stier .

In March 2009 members of Nassovia were involved in the foundation of the Corps Nassovia Szeged , now located in Budapest , the first corps in Hungary .

Corp house

Today's corp house of Nassovia

The representative corp house on Schönleinstrasse, built for the 60th foundation festival in 1896, was destroyed in the devastating bomb attack on Würzburg on March 16, 1945 . After renting a house in Neubergstrasse in the meantime, the current corp house at Mergentheimer Strasse 42 - built in the 1930s - was moved into and made suitable for active operations by adding a fencing and festival hall.

Conditions

Nassovia does not belong to any of the "circles" formed in the KSCV at the end of the 19th century. Cartel relations exist with Hannovera Göttingen (1855), Borussia Halle (1888/1836), Hasso-Nassovia Marburg (1889 "Iron Cartel" / 1873/1859), Franconia Tübingen (1904/1860), Normannia Berlin (1920/1857) and Palatia -Guestphalia Freiburg (1976/1952 - in tradition with Palatia Strasbourg 1874). She is friends with the Corps Rhenania Heidelberg (1849), Silesia Breslau zu Frankfurt / Oder (1875), Saxonia Leipzig (1956) and Hellas Wien (1990/1980). Nassovia Würzburg and Visigothia Rostock have been sponsored since 1954. Visigothia was reconstituted in Rostock in 1991 after reunification. In 2009 an interview with the Belgian Corps Flaminea Löwen was concluded.
