Corps Rhenania Bonn

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Coat of arms and color of Rhenania Bonn (1912)

The Corps Rhenania Bonn is an obligatory and colored student union in the Bonn Senior Citizens' Convention . The Corps is the oldest student union in Bonn and unites students and alumni of the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität . The corps members are called Bonner Rhenanen .

Color

Rhenania initially had the colors white-blue-red with silver percussion, because the wars of liberation had only happened five years ago at her foundation . To wear the colors of the French tricolor still seemed too daring. The colors were later changed to blue-white-red when these were widely recognized as the colors of the Rhineland. A white striker or a blue cap is worn for this. The Rhenanenfüchse wear a fox ribbon in blue-white-blue with silver percussion and instead of the striker a blue student hat . The motto is one for all, all for one! and Nunquam retrorsum ! (Eng. "Never back down!"). The emblem is Sit ensis noster vindex! (Eng. "The sword be our protection").

The Corps Rhenania was founded on May 15, 1820 by students at the University of Bonn. Suspended by the university administration in the summer semester of 1822 , it continued to exist in secret until May 1, 1823. It was formally reconstituted in 1824 and suspended a year later. The renewed reconstitution took place on July 4, 1829. Some members, Adolph Erlenmeyer , Gustav Eschborn and Karl Friedrich Reinhold Fock, resigned during the progress period in the winter semester 1843/44 and founded the Landsmannschaft Teutonia Bonn. Rhenania dissolved temporarily in 1844. Its members united with Saxonia to form a connection Saxo-Rhenania with the colors blue-white-gold. Some of the previous members were reconstituted on October 22, 1844.

Suspended again from November 9, 1855, Rhenania was reopened as a corps on January 6, 1857 and since then has been a member of the Kösener Seniors Convent Association (KSCV) with the Bonn Seniors Convent (joined in 1856) . In 1881, Rhenane from Bonn supported Alexander von Claer Leonhard Zander in his Kösener reform initiative.

Rhineland occupation

During the Allied occupation of the Rhineland , Rhenanias Senior had built up an organization of students to defend Bonn against separatists who were striving for a " Rhenish Republic ". Together with other students, citizens and the police, she succeeded in preventing the storming of Bonn City Hall on the early morning of October 25, 1923 for the time being. Only later in the day did the separatists manage to conquer the town hall with massive help from French troops.

time of the nationalsocialism

In 1934, the Corps was confronted with the demand for the exclusion of its Jewish and Jewish wives married (so-called "non-Aryan-kinky") Corps brothers. These demands were made on the basis of the Law for the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service of April 1933. The affected members resigned. Rhenania accepted this in the hope of maintaining the corps by adapting to the new regime. In doing so, the corps violated the principle that actually applies to all student associations that a membership once awarded can only be withdrawn from a relative due to serious misconduct. In view of this and in protest against the Corps' inaction on this issue, further members resigned who did not want to accept the departure of the Jewish members. This step could not save the Corps from suspension. It took place in 1936; Rhenania had to dissolve. In the same year the Teutonia Bonn corps boys' convention decided to join the Rhenania corps; the decision was never implemented.

With members of the Corps Saxonia Bonn and the Corps Teutonia Bonn, old men Rhenanias supported the SC comradeship Yorck von Wartenburg . She was given Rhenania's corp house . Against the ban, gauges were fought until 1944. On June 11, 1944, Rhenania was one of the corps that decided to reconstitute the KSCV at the Rudelsburg . The agreements no longer came into effect for reasons related to the war. The GeStPo initiated an investigation. The proceedings got lost in the turmoil of the last months of the war.

post war period

The corps in the IG

At Rhenania's instigation, the SC in Bonn called the Corps to Altena in 1949 , where the Association of Old Corps Students had been reconstituted. At the meeting on 6./7. January 1950 representatives from 20 corps came. It was decided to found the community of interests that should prepare the re-establishment of the KSCV. It took place on May 19, 1951 at the Godesburg . The dissolution of the KSCV from 1935 was declared null and void.

On May 30, 1953, the old man's association of the Corps Thuringia Leipzig was added. The active corps of Thuringia was reopened by Rhenania on January 18, 1971 with its own active operation in Saarbrücken. After German unification , Thuringia returned to her home town.

Rhenania was suspended in the winter semester of 1972/73. The renovation of the house began in autumn 1973. The house in Florentiusgraben served as a temporary solution. On March 2, 1974, Brenning I from Corps Normannia Berlin , Ellinger from Corps Brunsviga Göttingen and Schlicht from Corps Thuringia Leipzig reconstituted the Corps Rhenania. Since then the corps has been operating properly again.

As in 1989, Rhenania provided the on-site spokesman for the KSCV in 2013/14.
