The Corps Normannia Berlin is a mandatory and colored student association at the colleges and universities of Berlin .

history

Normannia was founded on February 3, 1842 under the name Cerevesia or Weltkneipe . In February 1845 she declared herself to be the Normannia Landsmannschaft . In July 1855 a clear majority of the country team decided to continue as a corps in the future. This entered the Berliner SC and thus the KSCV. Some members of the former Landsmannschaft did not agree with this development, left the Corps and founded a new Landsmannschaft with the same name in the winter semester of 1855/56. This was apparently largely unknown to the student public. One saw a Landsmannschaft before and a Landsmannschaft after and therefore assumed, without knowing the background, that it was one and the same league from which the newly appeared corps had dropped out. At that time there was a procedure before the university court in which the inventory of the federal government was awarded to the corps as the rightful successor. The (new) country team had to change their circle by adding a slash and making it distinguishable from the one that was retained by the corps.

In misjudgment of the circumstances described, the country team was commonly referred to as Palaio-Normannia (= Old Normannia). Fierce rivalries between the two Givers resulted. Scale lengths between their relatives are said to have been the bloodiest in the SC. The Landsmannschaft Normannia, which remained next to the Corps, became the Berlin Burschenschaft Normannia in 1924 .

In 1925, Normannia was the presiding suburban corps in the KSCV and, with Conrad Stolte, provided the Kösener suburb spokesman. In the era of National Socialism , the Corps in 1935 brought into line and the camaraderie continued. In the post-war period , Normannia, like all other corps, remained banned by a resolution of the Allied Control Council . The Corps was reconstituted in Hamburg on October 23, 1950 , but returned to Berlin on March 31, 1953.

Corp houses

Behind the tenement house built in 1826 on Linienstraße , which was supplemented by a transverse building in 1857, Normannia built a corp house in 1909 in the second courtyard of the property by the architect Fedor Feit on behalf of Normannia AG as the client. The entire complex is now in the care of the historic monument .

As part of the 88th Foundation Festival, the Corps moved into the second corp house in Grunewald on June 27, 1930. It was built according to designs by Heinz Oppermann. The construct included the ground floor next to the reception and dining room utility rooms and the apartment of the Corp servant , upstairs in the Kneip hall with music gallery, a winter garden and the old boys' room, in the II. Floor CC-room, study the Chargierten, four active living spaces and the Paukboden . Two further lodging rooms were located in the attic.
