The corps members are called "Braunschweiger Rhenanen".

history
The time in Zurich (1855 to 1865)
On November 11, 1855, ten students from the Swiss Federal Polytechnic School, which had opened a few weeks earlier, founded the Corps Rhenania Zurich. From the beginning, the colors "blue-gold-red" were worn with red caps. With the Landsmannschaft Teutonia Zurich, the later Corps Frisia Karlsruhe , as well as the University Corps Tigurinia , there was a senior citizens' convention (SC) from February to July 1861 . After this was dissolved due to disagreements, six corps boys of the Rhenania founded the Corps Helvetia Zurich on November 29, 1861 with the colors black-white-red. Rhenania and Helvetia came together to form the Zürcher SC. After lengthy negotiations, Rhenania and Helvetia reunited with Tigurinia to form a SC. On April 7, 1863 in Frankfurt am Main, Rhenania and Helvetia were among the ten founding corps of the General Senior Citizens 'Convention (ASC), later the Weinheim Senior Citizens' Convention . Two weeks earlier, on March 24, 1863, the cartel with the Corps Franconia Karlsruhe , which still exists today, had come to an end.
While corporations based on the German model were able to develop freely at the cantonal university, the corps and compatriots at the federal polytechnic were exposed to persecution by the administration. After disputes between the student body and the director and the departure of the students from the Polytechnic to Rapperswil , which Tigurinia had also joined, there were massive expulsions of students and the complete suppression of the corporations. Rhenania and Helvetia therefore had to suspend in March 1865.
The time in Aachen (1871 to 1880)
On December 3, 1871, Rhenania reconstituted with the support of the Cartel Corps Franconia Karlsruhe and a member of the Corps Teutonia Hanover at the Royal Rhenish-Westphalian Polytechnic School in Aachen and met on the same day with the Corps Guestphalia, founded the day before, at the Aachen Senior Citizens' Convention. On July 4, 1874, Rhenania joined forces with Franconia Karlsruhe , Stauffia Stuttgart and Slesvico-Holsatia Hanover to form a four -league . After an initial heyday until around 1875, tensions between the Catholic population and the corporations increased, while student numbers fell sharply. After the third SC Corps had to suspend Teutonia in August 1877 and Guestphalia on May 28, 1878, Rhenania stopped active operations on October 15, 1880. Until 1903 there should be no more active corps in Aachen.
The time in Braunschweig (since 1892)
On May 7, 1892, Rhenania was reconstituted at the Technical University in Braunschweig with the support of the Cartel Corps Franconia Karlsruhe, the Friendship Corps Stauffia Stuttgart and the later Friendship Corps Saxonia-Berlin. Since then, Rhenania has existed in Braunschweig, albeit with interruptions. On May 22nd, 1892, Rhenania founded the (second) Braunschweiger SC together with the former Aachen Corps Teutonia Braunschweig. Rhenania was instrumental in founding three senior citizens' conventions at various university locations and in founding the umbrella organization, the WSC. This fact is unique in the WSC.
On June 2, 1897, the Corps of the Viererbund joined forces with the Corps Saxonia-Berlin to form the Fünferbund. During the First World War, active operations almost completely came to a standstill. In 1920 Rhenania was able to move into the first corp house in what was then Kaiser Wilhelmstrasse 14, today 's Jasperallee 14. On November 15, 1935, Rhenania was suspended under pressure from the National Socialist institutions. The old gentlemen's association remained. The establishment of its own NS comradeship was rejected. On November 11, 1953, Rhenania reopened after an 18-year break with the support of members of the Braunschweiger SC. The corp house had been destroyed in the war. In the Jasperallee 7, however, a new corporation house was soon available. After almost two decades of active operation, Rhenania had to suspend again on November 15, 1972. 17 years later, on July 16, 1989, Rhenania reconstituted it again with the support of the SC and the Federation of Five. In the same year the corp house at Gaußstrasse 15 was acquired.
