history

Corp building of Saxo-Borussia in Freiberg (1913)

The Corps Saxo-Borussia was donated to the Bergakademie Freiberg on November 28, 1842 with the colors black-white-green. Decisive at the time were disputes between the already existing Corps Montania and Franconia, for the settlement of which a third corps was needed. As early as 1847 the young corps had to be suspended due to difficulties with the academic disciplinary authorities, despite having sufficient members. With the help of the Corps Montania and their support in the SC, however, Saxo-Borussia was reopened on March 10, 1860. The colors were changed to black-green-white and today's circle was introduced. Black velvet hats and black and green fox ribbons were worn. As a result of a lack of young people and the outbreak of the German War in 1866, the Corps had to be suspended again. Finally, at the suggestion of the Corps Teutonia Freiberg, which had now been established, the Corps Saxo-Borussia was re-established on July 16, 1877. White caps, similar to those worn in 1842, were reintroduced and the fox colors were changed to green-white-green, which is still valid today. A cartel relationship with the Corps Borussia Clausthal had existed since the winter semester of 1891/92, and a friendship relationship with the Corps Saxonia Tharandt was maintained.

Since all student associations were banned during National Socialism and this ban remained in place after the war in the Soviet occupation zone and the later GDR , Saxo-Borussia merged with Montania Freiberg, Markomannia Dresden and Frankonia Dresden to form Saxo-Montania. Saxo-Montania was constituted in Aachen and gave itself in the statutes the order to revive traditional corps both in Freiberg and in Dresden, if the opportunity arose.

When it became possible to return with the reunification, it was primarily members of the Corps Borussia Clausthal, with which there was previously a cartel relationship, who campaigned for restitution in Freiberg. Together with members of Corps Montania Clausthal and Vitruvia Munich, it was restituted in Freiberg in 1992. The Corps Saxo-Montania fulfilled its own statutory duty by, on the one hand, many of its members joining the Saxon-Prussian community and, on the other hand, the Corps Saxo-Borussia was financially supported and is still supported today. So the old corporation house could be bought back after a short time and a flourishing active business could be built up. The Corps was the first of the WSC to return to the new federal states. In 2012 the Corps provided all three local speakers for the Weinheim Senior Citizens' Convent.
