The Corps Saxonia Göttingen is a student association in the Kösener Seniors Convents Association (KSCV). It fights lengths and bears colors . Saxonia unites students and former students of the Georg-August-Universität Göttingen . The corps members are called Göttingen Saxons ( "Gö-Sachsen" ).

Coat of arms and color

The corps coat of arms shows the Saxon diamond between colors and circles (a field divided nine times by black and gold with a diagonal green diamond ring), which goes back to the coat of arms of the former Kingdom of Saxony .

Saxonia has the colors dark blue-white-light blue with silver percussion . In addition, a small dark blue cap is worn as the back of the head. Like the other Göttingen corps, Saxonia has no fox band.

The motto is Vivant fratres intimo foedere iuncti!

history

The Corps Saxonia was originally founded as a Landsmannschaft on December 12, 1840 by students from the Georg-August University . The official foundation day of the Corps is July 28, 1844. Saxonia has been a member of the Kösener Seniors Convents Association (KSCV) since the association was founded in 1848 .

In 1889 and 1968, Saxonia was the presiding suburban corps and chaired the oKC.

Corp house

The Corps Saxonia had the oldest corp house in Göttingen, Theaterplatz 5. The architect was the Göttingen city planner Heinrich August Anton Gerber . The foundation stone was laid on May 16, 1888 by Prince Albrecht . At the time he was regent of the Duchy of Braunschweig and represented his terminally ill cousin Friedrich III. as Rector Magnificentissimus of the Göttingen University. Prince Albrecht had special relationships with the Göttingen Saxons, as he himself belonged to the Corps Borussia Bonn , which has been in the cartel with Saxonia since 1858 . The corp house passed to the city of Göttingen in 1935 and was temporarily used as the city archive. After the Second World War, the Saxons bought a new building in the eastern part of the city.

External relations

The Corps Saxonia is a member of the Kösener Seniors Convents Association (KSCV) and is one of the signatories of the Göttingen SC Comment . The Göttingen Seniors' Convent today consists of six Kösener corps .

With the Corps Borussia Bonn and the Corps Saxo-Borussia Heidelberg , the Corps Saxonia forms the White Circle within the KSCV due to the mutual cartels . There is also a cartel with the Corps Pomerania Greifswald , for which Saxonia took over the sponsorship during the German division. The longstanding cartel with the Corps Starkenburgia was broken in 1930. In addition, there was an official relationship with the Corps Hannovera Göttingen (so-called local cartel) from the re-establishment after the Second World War until 1965 .

Cartel relations with the long-suspended and extinct Corps Marchia Halle and Misnia III are unbroken .
