history

Coat of arms of the three Saxen corps (from left to right: Karlsruhe, Hanover and Danzig)

In 1855, a good three years after the Saxonia Hannover foundation , some students were arrested during a canteen day near Hanover because of the existing canteen ban in Germany. Thereupon those involved were expelled from the university ( relegation ) and had to leave Hanover within 24 hours. They were accompanied with the relegated members of other corporations in a large procession of all corporates to the southern city limits and said goodbye there. Some time later, three formerly composed Hanoverian Saxons met again in Karlsruhe. It didn't take long before they decided to open a Saxonia together with a member of the Corps Bavaria Karlsruhe and other students in Karlsruhe.

In memory of Hanover, they decided to take over the colors, the circle, the coat of arms (slightly changed), the hats and the motto from Hanover and set the foundation date to the corresponding date of Hanover, i.e. February 27, 1856. A few years later, Saxonia Hannover changed the circle a little so that it could be correctly assigned.

On December 10, 1856, Saxonia Karlsruhe sent a letter regarding a cartel to be entered into to Saxonia in Hanover, whereupon this cartel became a reality on February 6, 1857. It is thus the oldest cartel in the WSC and older than the WSC itself. In 1904 the cartel was expanded to include the Corps Saxonia Danzig founded by Saxonia Hannover .

After the recognition of the statutes in the first year of existence under the then director of the Polytechnic, Johann Klauprecht , this changed in 1857 under the more tolerant Ferdinand Redtenbacher in the winter semester of 1857. The management recognized the statutes and the right to wear colors at the Polytechnic was awarded.

As a member of the Senior Citizens' Convention (SC) in Karlsruhe, the oldest in Weinheimer SC, the Corps Saxonia was instrumental in founding the WSC on December 29, 1863.

Saxonia celebrated the 20th foundation festival on Pentecost 1876 in such a representative way that the local press highlighted it on its first page as follows: We cannot help but express our sincere thanks to the solemn course of the foundation, which was not disturbed by the slightest miston to commemorate the kind invitation of the always fresh and cheerful corps spirit and firmly structured solidarity, which has been inherent in the corps of Saxonia since its foundation, whose festival room also turned those who did not have the honor of being members of Saxonia into a cozy home.

After the representative demands on Saxonia continued to increase towards the end of the 19th century, an old gentlemen's association (AHV) was founded on January 18, 1903, chaired by Wilhelm Schüssele . A short time later, the AHV was entered in the newly created register of associations with the purpose of acquiring a suitable piece of land for the construction of a corp house .

Due to the increasing pressure from the National Socialist German Student Union (NSDStB) and the tense membership situation, the Corps Saxonia disbanded on November 3, 1935. There was hope on the part of the NSDStB that one would transform into a comradeship , which the majority of the active and old men rejected.

In 1947, some students enthusiastic about the corps idea founded a “Society Saxonia”. With the start of mensurfing in 1951, the “Student Association” was given the colors kept by the old men’s association, and the decision to dissolve itself was revoked.

After the corps had popped in various inns (including in the Eypper brewery, today's Brasil), in 1887 they moved to their own corp house ( first corp house ) at Bürgerstraße 22, which was used until the summer of 1913.

Subsequently, this was no longer considered suitable and the old gentlemen's association decided in 1905 to build a new corp house ( second corp house ). In 1909 a building site was acquired. Arthur Wienkoop then drew up a draft in 1910 and Arthur Pfeifer worked out the plans for the building application. Furthermore led Arthur Pfeifer by the site management so that on June 27, 1913, the inauguration was celebrated. The house was badly damaged in World War II and was used after renovations from 1960 to 1982.

The third corp house in Werderstrasse 81 was designed and planned by the architect Dieter Stahl (Werkgemeinschaft Karlsruhe). Like the second corp house, it was designed as a corp house, with the new building meeting the requirements for lower operating costs and more active rooms.

In 1911 the three Saxen corps set up the " Saxenecke " in the refectory in the Wachenburg . As you can see on the postcard, the furniture is still there today, as is the window with the three Saxon coats of arms on the left in the window niche.

Corps Rupertia Munich

When the Landsmannschaft Guestphalia Munich applied for admission to the WSC at the end of 1904 , three old men from Saxonia Karlsruhe, together with an old man from Corps Bavaria Stuttgart and an old man from Corps Rhenania Stuttgart, founded the Corps Rupertia Munich on August 13, 1905, in order to put the WSC in a position to be able to form its own senior citizens' convent at the Technical University of Munich , for which at least two corps were required. Encouraged by this step, the Corps Teutonia, suspended in Braunschweig in 1902, relocated to Munich on September 21, 1905 and met with Rupertia two days later to the SC of the WSC at the Technical University of Munich . On November 1, 1905, Rupertia was suspended again and gave his assets to Teutonia, since Teutonia and Guestphalia could now form the SC.

The establishment of the short-lived Rupertia was an important step towards overcoming the distance between the WSC and the old SC of the Technical University of Munich with Cisaria , Rheno-Palatia , Vitruvia and Germania . This was finally accepted on July 15, 1912 in the WSC. Rupertia had the colors "blue-white-purple". The motto was: Much enemy, much honor! The color coat of arms with a circle of Rupertia is still on the coat of arms gate of the Wachenburg .
