history

Old corp house of Rhenania (1892)
New corp house ( 48 ° 0 ′ 5.2 ″  N , 7 ° 50 ′ 47 ″  E )

The Corps Rhenania was founded on September 21, 1812 by the medical students Karl Joseph Beck from Gengenbach and Karl Friedrich Brodhag from Kandern . This makes it the oldest existing connection at the University of Freiburg . After the suspension forced by the Wars of Liberation , Karl Joseph Leo re-founded the Corps Rhenania Freiburg on May 3, 1815. In June 1815 Rhenania and Suevia founded the Freiburg Senior Citizens' Convention (SC), the oldest association of student corporations in Freiburg. Despite the repression as a result of the Karlovy Vary resolutions of 1819, Rhenania quickly developed into an important student group at the Albert Ludwig University .

Due to a shortage of members, the corps had to suspend on August 13, 1843, but was reconstituted by Alfred Courtin on November 22, 1850. Rhenania and Suevia formed a common SC again in 1850. Since 1856, Rhenania has been a member of the Kösener Seniors Convents Association (KSCV) via the Freiburger SC .

A corps newspaper, which appears regularly every six months, has been published since 1888. Since 1923 it has been published under the name "Der Bote vom Oberrhein". In the more than 120 years of its existence this newspaper has been published by only five Corpsbrothers.

Because of the Vering – Salomon duel , Rhenania was suspended by the university senate in February 1890; For two months it operated under the name Helvetia (green-red-gold). In 1889 an old gentlemen's committee was founded, in 1906 the association “Alter Freiburger Rhenanen”, which represents the interests of the old rulers vis-à-vis the active and inactive of the corps, organized larger, joint events (foundation festival, reconstitution festival) and supported the active members of the corps financially.

In 1892 the first corp house of the Freiburg Rhenanen was built with the support of the old men . However, it soon turned out that it was not big enough for the lavish corps operation. In 1912/1913 the old corp house was demolished and a larger and more beautiful house in Art Nouveau was built in the same place according to plans by the Berlin architect Bruno Möhring . Carl Vering made it possible. Glass windows for the new house were created by Rudolf Linnemann from Frankfurt in 1913 (documents on this in the Linnemann archive).

With the beginning of World War I , the corps had to close again. Due to its proximity to the front, the corp house was used by the German Army (German Empire) as a hospital . 296 Rhenans went to this war, 56 of them did not return. Shortly after the end of the war in 1918, Walter Roth reconstituted the corps.

In 1931 the old owners in Altglashütten acquired a ski hut ( 47 ° 51 ′ 14.2 ″  N , 8 ° 6 ′ 47.6 ″  E ) . In order to manage these appropriately, the Freiburg Rhenanenhütte e. V. founded. The time of the Weimar Republic was a very successful time for the Corps Rhenania. The number of members grew steadily. This development ended when the National Socialists came to power in 1933.

The Corps under National Socialism

The politics of the NSDAP led to the "Gleichschaltung", that is, to the dissolution of all social groups that they could not adequately control. On September 28, 1935, the Kösener Verband (KSCV) decided to dissolve itself. Rhenania followed suit and officially ceased active operations on October 12, 1935, but actually kept it fully up until the Second World War and in the winter semester 1936/37 played around 50 games over nine mensur days, including around 20 on Italian sabers , the comment weapon of the NSDStB. At the end of 1938 she took on the outward forms of comradeship that was given the name Admiral Scheer . The corps operation was nevertheless continued in the previous form. Determination marks took place until the beginning of 1944.

On November 27, 1944, Freiburg im Breisgau was severely damaged by an air raid by British bombers ( Operation Tigerfish ). The corp house burned out completely. The entire facility and the corps archive were lost as a result. Over 80 corps members were killed in the course of the Second World War.

Reconstitution and Post War

The French military government initially banned all student organizations and student associations. In addition, after the end of the war, many Corps brothers were busy reorganizing their existence. Nevertheless, Rhenania reconstituted itself on May 20, 1950 at the Rhenanenhütte in Altglashütten under the leadership of Dieter Wengler . A new corp house could also be built thanks to generous donations from individual corps brothers. On February 1, 1957, the active moved into the third corp house in place of the bombed house at Albertstrasse 32 ( 48 ° 0 ′ 5.2 ″  N , 7 ° 50 ′ 47 ″  E ) .

In the post-war period in Germany , the corps flourished. It was not until the student unrest of the 1968 movement and the resulting break-up of social structures in the old Federal Republic that there were considerable problems with the number of members and the relationship between the younger generation and the old rulers. But the Corps also survived this difficult phase unscathed.

After Rhenania had provided the Kösener suburb spokesman in 1867 and 1905 , she provided the entire suburb team in 1992. Chaired by René Lohs was first after German unification an official event of the KSCV a workshop - - in Bad Kosen performed.

In June 2012, the 200th Foundation Festival was celebrated with over 400 participants.
