The Corps Palaio-Alsatia is a suspended student association in the Kösener Seniors Convents Association (KSCV). The Altelsäss are students and alumni of the Kaiser-Wilhelms-Universität Strasbourg , the Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg and the Johann Wolfgang Goethe-Universität Frankfurt am Main . In contrast to the three older corps in Strasbourg , Palaio-Alsatia obtained their offspring mainly from Alsace until the First World War . In 1942 most of the members were Alsatian.

history

SC to Strasbourg

SC to Strasbourg

When the realm of Alsace-Lorraine was established, four Kösener Corps were donated to the Kaiser-Wilhelms-Universität to form the Strasbourg Seniors' Convent (SC): Rhenania Strasbourg (1872), Palatia Strasbourg (1873), Suevia Strasbourg (1878) and Palaio-Alsatia (1880). Many of the foxes were one year old volunteers in the regiments of the 30th Division .

“The Strasbourg SC has always had a special peculiarity among the Kösener Corps. Strasbourg was the university of what was then the border region, and to support Germanism, the SC was in close contact with professors, senior officials and, last but not least, the military. The good Strasbourg regiments brought with their "one year olds" a large part of the offspring. A common ground arose that was based on the same conceptions of duty, honor and love of the country - a commonality that in turn led to lively social intercourse. Of course, this also rubbed off on the relationship between the corps, and indeed of the individual members of one CC to the members of another CC. Perhaps this peculiarity of the Strasbourg SC and these relationships between the corps contributed to the final resolution of the then suspended SC in June 1919. "

- Ernst Krefft (1952)
Circle of Guestphalia

The SC was suspended from July 15, 1890 to April 20, 1891 by the university because of a cause for disrepute . When he was suspended again in June 1911 because of another cause for disrepute, the old gentlemen's associations (AHC) initially took over the functions of the convents . On October 18, 1911, "Guestphalia" was founded. It had the colors green-white-black and the fox colors green-black. The members wore a light green striker and had the motto Fortes adiuvat fortuna . The suspension ended on April 15, 1912.

Predecessor connections

Alsatia

The Argentina connection was founded on November 11th 1857 by members of the Concordia with the colors black-white-red. She joined the Wingolfsbund on February 5, 1859 and changed colors to black-silver-dark-red on April 11, 1861, and to black-white-gold on May 1, 1872. Resigned members of Argentina founded the Christian association Arminia on July 4, 1874 . The armines were dark green-white-red and wore a green student cap . Duels were forbidden. The motto was one for all, all for one!

On July 3, 1879, Arminia was constituted as the Alsatia Landsmannschaft . She accepted unconditional satisfaction and introduced the scale length . The colors were light green-white-red, the fox colors white-red. Alsatia declared itself a Corps on January 21, 1880 and changed the fox colors to green-white-green. She renounced on the same day at the SC in Strasbourg and was reciprocated on July 26, 1880. She suspended on January 10, 1881.

Vogesina

Vogesina Circle

Named after the Vosges , the Free Association Vogesina was founded on May 24, 1881. The colors were yellow-white-red, the fox colors yellow-white-yellow, the cap yellow. She stood for absolute satisfaction. The motto was one for all, all for one! In the winter semester of 1883/84 she introduced the censorship. At the end of the summer semester of 1884 she joined the Goslar Chargierten-Convent . When she was suspended by the university in SS 1885, she founded Markomannia with the colors pink-blue-white and the fox colors pink-white-pink. Since the beginning of the summer semester of 1886 she has been back in Vogesina and sought to join the SC.

Palaio-Alsatia

Strasbourg Corp House from 1906

Vogesina circumvented the otherwise necessary renunciation by suspending on May 28, 1886 and reconstituting Alsatia as Palaio-Alsatia , adopting its colors yellow-white-red . The addition Palaio- (from ancient Greek παλαιός, palaios, German old ) had become necessary because another Alsatia had been founded in the meantime.

Until autumn 1906 Palaio-Alsatia had a corp house on Illstaden near the university. In 1906 she moved into a house in the street named after Franz Geiler . It was confiscated in 1918 and made available to the French Société des Amis de l'Université de Strasbourg . During the German occupation of Alsace, it was used again by the Corps from 1942 to 1944. Today it is a listed building and serves as the Polish consulate .

During the First World War , 93 out of 128 corps members fought on the German side; ten fell.

Alsatia to Freiburg

After the Treaty of Versailles , Palaio-Alsatia, like almost all German corporations, had to leave Strasbourg. Only Argentina in the Wingolfsbund and Wilhelmitana in the Schwarzburgbund were allowed to resume active operations because they had already existed before the Franco-German War . On June 5, 1919, she decided to reconstitute in Freiburg im Breisgau as Alsatia with the colors green-white-red. The SC zu Freiburg reciprocated Alsatia on July 12, 1919. After the break in the cartel relationships in the yellow circle (Teutonia Halle and Makaria Munich ), Alsatia had to suspend on October 10, 1919.

The Strasbourg concept , founded in 1919, was never dissolved.

Palaio-Alsatia in Frankfurt

With the colors yellow-white-red, the corps reconstituted on January 9, 1921 as Palaio-Alsatia at Frankfurt University. It was founded in 1914, but only started teaching after the First World War. Like the University of Cologne and the University of Hamburg , it served as a replacement for the lost Kaiser Wilhelms University. In Frankfurt am Main there was also the Scientific Institute of the Alsace-Lorraine in the Reich since 1921 . With Corps Austria , which had come from Prague , Palaio-Alsatia founded the SC in Frankfurt am Main . For a short time the corps resided in Grethenweg. It found a second home in Bornwiesenweg. Much of Strasbourg had survived; but the bar furniture had been lost. However, most of them could be saved, as well as other color objects such as semester and scale pictures. A new student coat of arms was commissioned from a Munich painter. The memorial plaque for the Altelsässers who fell in World War I was made at the new Cologne School of Applied Arts . The compensation granted by the Reich for the corp house expropriated in Strasbourg was very low at 2,224 gold marks . Nevertheless, the corps was able to move into a new corp house in Wiesenau for the 50th foundation festival .

In the time of National Socialism , the Aryan paragraph was carried out completely by those affected putting down the tape. The corps, however, kept in contact with the “non-Aryan” or “ Jewish-influenced ” Corps brothers who were never considered to have left. After the dissolution of the HKSCV on September 28, 1935, the vast majority of the 32 Altelsässers present voted on October 13, 1935 to suspend and rent out the superfluous rooms in the corp house. Palaio-Alsatia suspended on October 15, 1935.

Comradeship of Friedrich Barbarossa

In a “great illusion”, the old rulers decided to return to Strasbourg after the campaign in the west . She handed over the Frankfurt corp house to the National Socialist Old Masters Association and in return received the Strasbourg corp house back. It was extensively renewed. The entire furniture and the corps archive were transferred from Frankfurt to Strasbourg. From 1942 onwards, the Altelsässers looked after the “Friedrich Barbarossa” comradeship . The number of active members stayed in double digits despite the war. When the Seventh United States Army captured Strasbourg in November 1944, the corp house, furniture and archive were lost. The connection to the Barbarossa members was broken.

Second new beginning

Unlike Austria, Palaio-Alsatia did not dare to reconstitute itself in the post-war period , especially since many of the corps brothers were missing. Together with the Corps of the Halle Seniors' Convent Borussia , Guestphalia , Neoborussia and Teutonia, it therefore transferred its tradition on December 10, 1949 to the Corps Saxonia Frankfurt , which was founded on the same day. Saxonia moved into two rooms in the Altelsässers' corp house in Wiesenau.

When the missing were found, Palaio-Alsatia decided to reconstitute; it was completed on November 1, 1953, with 13 members of Saxonia being accepted. With Austria, Franconia-Jena , Saxonia Leipzig , Saxonia Frankfurt and Neoborussia-Berlin, she renewed the SC in Frankfurt am Main. Of the six corps, only Austria has remained since 1999. In June 1974 Palaio-Alsatia moved into the new corp house in Frankfurt-Sachsenhausen (Niederräder Landstrasse 2). In 1965 she was the presiding suburban corps and, along with Lothar Goldschmidt, was the chairman of the oKC.

Due to a lack of young people, the Corps suspended on December 18, 1999. The preparation for a reconstitution in Erfurt , which had progressed well with the help of the Corps Thuringia Jena, failed at the last moment. The 126th foundation festival was celebrated at the Kartellcorps Bavaria Erlangen .
