The Corps Saxonia Jena is an obligatory and colored student union in the Kösener Senioren-Convents-Verband (KSCV). The corps brings together students and alumni from the Friedrich Schiller University Jena and the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn . The members of the corps are called Jenaer / Jenenser Sachsen or, as it was from time immemorial, Jenschsachsen.

Color

Saxonia has the colors dark blue-light blue-white (counting from the bottom) with silver percussion . A dark blue student hat is also worn. The fox ribbon is light blue-white-light blue.

The motto of the Corps is Virtuti semper corona! (German: "Der Tugendhaftigkeit die Krone!" ) The two coat of arms sayings are honor, happiness, unity - Neminem time, neminem laede! (German: "Don't fear anyone, don't hurt anyone!" )

The student coat of arms shows the colors of the corps heraldically on the top right in a field divided diagonally to the left, on the top left a circle, cross break and the date of foundation, on the bottom right the federal sign with crossed bells and the first letters of the coat of arms sayings (EFE or NTNL), on the bottom left in dark blue trustees with cloud cuff .

history

The Corps Saxonia was founded under the name Landsmannschaft Altenburgia auf der Tanne on February 13, 1805 by students at the University of Jena (today Friedrich Schiller University). The traditions go back even further. Already in 1768 a Saxonia country team is mentioned in the sources. For the year 1792 the blue and white colors for the Jenenser Saxons are documented. Other Sachsencorps have, partly in variations, adopted the blue-blue-white color combination from the old Landsmannschaft Saxonia Jena, for example the Corps Saxonia Leipzig , Saxonia Halle and Saxonia Göttingen . The influence of the old student orders aimed at special cohesion remained formative in everyday life and in the orientation for the Jenenser Sachsencorps . Because of its special history, Wilhelm Fabricius goes into detail on Saxonia Jena in his standard work Die Deutschen Corps .

On June 13, 1808, the name was changed to Landsmannschaft Saxonia, which was dissolved on June 15, 1815, in order to initially merge with the new fraternity ( Urburschenschaft ) that was emerging in Jena after some resistance to local pressure , but which did not have a long life and continues today in the three fraternities Teutonia Jena , Germania Jena and Arminia Jena . As can be seen from the archive of the Germania fraternity, there was a Saxonia fraternity with the same color as the later Corps from 1817 to 1818. On June 7, 1820, the Corps Saxonia was founded .

About Jenenser SC, the Corps is a founding member of the Kösener Seniors Convents Association , which was founded in 1848 in the auditorium of the University of Jena . In 1893 (and indirectly in Bonn in 1963) Saxonia was the presiding suburb corps in the KSCV and appointed the chairman of the oKC.

In 1936, the corps had to disband under National Socialist pressure, but continued to exist as SC-Kameradschaft Saaleck until 1945.

After the war, Saxonia Jena and Corps Saxonia Bonn formed a joint Corpsburschen-Convent (CC) on February 13, 1951 under the name Corps Saxonia Jena et Bonn zu Bonn . On December 14, 1991 the separation of the two corps was decided; Saxonia Jena returned to Jena in 1993. Since the mid-1990s it has resided again on the Sachsenburg, the connecting house built in 1898 in a neo-romantic style.
