history
From the foundation to the Third Reich
Rheno-Nicaria was founded on January 22nd, 1909 as a colored gymnastics club . It was the first corporation at the commercial college founded in 1907 (today university) in Mannheim. In the winter semester of 1909/10 she joined the Teutoburg Deputy Convent (TDC) - the organization of striking and color-bearing connections at the German commercial colleges. The TDC met at Whitsun in Detmold at the time, but expired in 1913. After the forced break caused by the First World War from 1914 to 1919 - all members of the Rheno-Nicaria were in the field - the declaration of the Free Corps was made in 1922 and - after unsuccessful negotiations about joining the WSC 1923/24 - joining the Rudolstadt Seniors' Convent (RSC) on June 11, 1924. The RSC had abandoned its previous orientation as a veterinary medical association and opened up for connections, especially at the smaller universities. Friendship agreements were concluded with the RSC Corps Marcho-Borussia in Berlin and Hermunduria in Leipzig in the summer semester of 1926.
The time of National Socialism
With the relocation of the Mannheim Commercial College to Heidelberg in 1933, Rheno-Nicaria also moved there and moved into the house at Hauptstrasse 244.
In 1931, the old gentlemen's association of the Bavarian Jewish Association acquired the house built in 1835 at Hauptstrasse 244 and had it converted into a corporation house by the architect Richard Stich, old man of the Viadrina Darmstadt association. The inauguration took place on the occasion of the 41st Foundation Festival on October 24, 1931, in the presence of numerous guests of honor. Bavaria had around 320 living members at that time.
The house was occupied on April 29, 1933 by Heidelberg NSDStB students under the leadership of Gustav Adolf Scheel.
In 1933 the Corps Rheno-Nicaria merged with the old gentlemen's association of the suspended RSC Corps Hubertia Gießen (founded in 1862 as a black association in Eisenach) and - in the hope of being able to continue to exist despite reprisals by the NS student union - the conversion of the Corps to the fraternity Hubertia-Rhenonicaria Heidelberg in the German fraternity . As early as 1936, like almost all connections in the German Reich, this was suspended. Since a survival of the connections in the previous form seemed impossible at the time, Hubertia-Rhenonicaria also gave in to pressure from the National Socialist German Student Union (NSDStB) and transferred the assets of the connection to the Westmark fraternity , later forcibly to the one formed together with the Ghibellinia Heidelberg gymnastics club Comradeship Friedrich Friesen within the NSDStB. In this way, it was hoped that tradition would be at least partially preserved and that the connection to one another was maintained.
From the re-establishment after the Second World War until today
After the Mannheim Commercial College reopened in 1948, active operations in Mannheim were resumed, and the "Gutenberg" connection was taken over by the Corps Rheno-Nicaria. After the re-establishment of the German fraternity, Rheno-Nicaria no longer joined it. Since the RSC was absorbed in the Weinheim Senior Citizens' Convention (WSC) in 1934 , Rheno-Nicaria joined the WSC as a renouncing member on January 9, 1953, and on May 15, 1953 the reception took place, i.e. the final (re) admission.
The Corps of the SC to Eisenach (Hubertia and Silvania) located in front of the First World War in vain for inclusion in the Weinheimer Senior Convent had tried, installed following the closure of the local Academy of Forestry established in 1919 at the University of Giessen and joined the Rudolstadt Senior Citizens' Convention . Both were not reconstituted after World War II. The merger agreement with Hubertia Gießen was confirmed again after the war. In 1954, the AHV of Rheno-Nicaria merged with that of the also suspended RSC-Corps Silvania Gießen (founded in 1865 as a connection between Silvania in Eisenach), whose tradition Rheno-Nicaria continues to this day as does the tradition of Hubertia Gießen.
The name of the old gentlemen's association has since been "Verband Alter Rhein-Neckarländer, Huberten and Silvanen eV" Active operations in Heidelberg were resumed three years later. It was abandoned in 1975 when a dispute arose between the two groups. The company in Mannheim was then continued alone. Shortly afterwards, the Heidelberger Aktives were taken over by the Thuringia singers, who later became the Thuringia Corps. Nevertheless, Rheno-Nicaria continues to see itself as a corps at both universities.
The festivities for the 50th anniversary of the Corps Rheno-Nicaria took place on June 28, 1958 in the town hall in Heidelberg, the speech was given by Karl Russi. In 1995, among other things, lectures were held at the Corps under the motto Symposium im Quadrat .
Cooperation with other corps
The friendship contracts concluded with the RSC-Corps Marcho-Borussia in Berlin and Hermunduria in Leipzig in the summer semester of 1926 no longer exist today. They probably ended with the transformation of the Corps Rheno-Nicaria into the Hubertia-Rhenonicaria fraternity and the associated withdrawal from the RSC in 1933.
The Corps Rheno-Nicaria does not belong to any of the few districts and cartels among the WSC Corps. Since September 2009, however, there has been a friendship relationship with the Corps Germania Munich, which is also part of the Weinheim Senior Citizens' Convention . Furthermore, Rheno-Nicaria maintains special friendly relations with Corps Franco-Guestphalia Cologne.
Joint events are regularly organized with both groups. In addition, the corps cooperate in questions of university policy and association policy.
Although there are a total of three WSC corps in Mannheim and Heidelberg, Rheno-Nicaria belongs to the Darmstädter SC as an associated corps. A separate SC of the Mannheimer with the Heidelberger Corps has not yet come about. Since the Corps Rheno-Nicaria is only associated with the Darmstadt Senior Citizens' Convention, there are only few points of contact with the corps located there, and there are hardly any correspondences with the "neighbors" of Hermunduria-Leipzig (now based in Mannheim). Since the Corps Rheno-Nicaria and Thuringia Heidelberg are more conservative in a student corps sense, they occupy a special position within the Darmstädter SC (to which they are only assigned).
Working with other connections
Both the Corps Rheno-Nicaria and the Corps Thuringia Heidelberg are member alliances of the Heidelberg Interest Group (HIG), the special purpose association of the beating corporations in Mannheim and Heidelberg. The majority of the active connections between Heidelberg and Mannheim belong to this, only the three KSCV Corps in Heidelberg and the Weinheimer Corps Hermunduria-Leipzig to Mannheim are not (any longer) members of the HIG.
The Pauktage the HIG in turn find place in the Member corporations, mostly - because of the size of the houses - in the country team Teutonia, the country team and the Afrania Landsmannschaft Zaringia.
House
While the Heidelberg corp house was sold to the Corps Thuringia as a result of the separation of the active operations, the Corps Rheno-Nicaria still lives in the listed corp house in Mollstrasse, which was acquired in 1960. 53 in Mannheim. This house, the old Villa Hoffmann am Luisenpark , was built in 1906 and was badly damaged by bombs ( Allied air raids on Mannheim ) during World War II . In 1960 it was initially prepared for the corps operation, but not rebuilt in its original form. In 1992/93, the house was expanded while restoring the original form and construction of the facade, and the interior was largely modernized. The lower floors are mainly used for representative purposes, the upper floors are rented. Up to 20 students can find a place to stay in the residential unit on the upper floors.
Trivia
In the detective novel Leipziger Ende by Sylke Tannhäuser ( Emons Verlag , Cologne 2013), the student murder victim is portrayed as a suspect professor, both as Rhein-Neckarländer. "
