The Corps Rhenania Würzburg is a colored and compulsory student association in the Kösener Senioren-Convents-Verband (KSCV), one of the oldest umbrella associations of German student associations.

Rhenania has been practicing the so-called tolerance principle since it was founded. This includes the political, religious and ethical-moral attitude / orientation of every individual who wants to become a member - regardless of his origin.

The corps members are called Rhinelander.

Color

Rhenania has the colors navy blue-white-corriander red with golden percussion . A white cap is also worn. The Rhinelander foxes wear a fox ribbon in white and corriander red with silver percussion. The motto is Amico pectus, hosti frontem! (German: "The chest of the friend, the forehead of the enemy")

history

Founding time

The "Huttenschlösschen", the corp house of Rhenania Würzburg since 1884

The corps was founded on January 23, 1842 by fourteen students from Julius Maximilians University . There was no relationship to the corps of the name that had previously existed in Würzburg. Among the donors were ten corps students who belonged to the Corps Franconia Munich , Rhenania Gießen , Rhenania Heidelberg , Rhenania Bonn , Starkenburgia , Suevia Heidelberg , Palatia Heidelberg and Guestphalia Heidelberg . The driving force behind the start-up was the lawyer Ludwig Munzinger , a member of Franconia Munich and later an honorary member of Rhenania. On October 28, 1843, the corps received ministerial approval. Under pressure from the authorities, who suspected a Francophile tendency in terms of names and colors, it had to appear in the first semester under the name Rheno-Palatia and the colors blue-white-orange. Until 1857 the great majority of the members came from the Rheinpfalz .

On February 15, 1859, Rhenania and Franconia decided as the only corps in the Würzburg Seniors 'Convent to join the Kösener Seniors' Convents Association (KSCV).

The corps in the time of National Socialism

During the Nazi era, the old rulers initially supported the comradeship Albrecht the Bear based on the Nassovia corp house. In 1939, the Wennemacher community split off from the comradeship due to excessive membership growth and, with the consent of the old rulers of Rhenania, moved its headquarters to the Rhenanenhaus. In May 1940 she took on the designation Kameradschaft Balthasar Neumann , which increasingly took on corporate features and in July 1941 fought the first scales. Since the summer semester of 1943, a largely regular corps operation has existed again. During the comradeship period, the Rhenania archive records include 138 lengths. Würzburg subsequently developed into a stronghold for weapons students during World War II. A high point of the subversive maintenance of tradition was the common comming of all (secretly existing) student associations on July 17, 1944 at the corp house of Rhenania. Even if it was kept in the strictest secrecy, it was a particular provocation; because at the same time the German student body celebrated its 25th anniversary with a large rally in the presence of the Reichsstudentenführer Gustav Adolf Scheel - only two blocks away.

“Over a hundred representatives of the individual connections in ribbon and hat at the long white-covered tables in our hall, that was a wonderfully colorful picture that made everyone's hearts beat faster. Knaup opened the Kommers with a short, successful speech and drank the first glass of beer for the good of our common cause. ... It is perhaps absurd to make comparisons between the Kommers at our house and the large rally of the Reichsstudentenführung. It takes a large portion of conviction of one's own worth to oppose a numerically thousandfold superiority. But we have this conviction of our own worth and we are becoming more and more certain of it the more rallies and proclamations the Reichsstudentenführung organizes. We have the forehead to assert: on the one hand (the leadership) is the word, the phrase, on our side is the deed. "

- Hans Dörrie

In 1924 and 1961, the corps appointed Fritz Höpker and Hans-Heinrich Strobel as chairmen of the Kösener congresses .

Corp house

Rhenania's Corpshaus is located in the Würzburger Sanderau . In November 1884 the corps bought the baroque Huttenschlösschen in Würzburg , built in 1720 for the Würzburg prince-bishop Christoph Franz von Hutten , which is still used today as a corp house. Rhenania thus has the oldest corporation house in Germany. Due to the Mainkaier uprising, the entire building was dismantled in 1902 and rotated 90 °.

The house was hit by a single bomb in the bombing raid on Würzburg on March 16, 1945 and burned to the ground. After the war, the castle was rebuilt with the help of the Corps brothers and inaugurated in 1952.

Huttenfete

The Huttenfete takes place every semester on the Huttenschlösschen. It has been a part of Würzburg student life for more than 20 years. The party is one of the last remaining fraternity parties and the second largest in Würzburg. Since 2012 it has been taking place in the third week of the semester under the motto "I LOVE HUTTENFETE".
