history

The corps was founded in Kiel on June 25, 1838. It has the colors green-white-burgundy. The motto is Virtuti semper corona! (for example, "[the] manhood [always deserves the crown!"). As with Holsatia , the second old Kiel Corps, the time before the First World War was also characterized by longer suspension phases with Saxonia . The first suspension lasted from the summer semester of 1841 to December 9, 1842. A major turning point occurred in March 1848 when Saxonia took part in the Schleswig-Holstein uprising and the life of the corps was completely extinguished. Saxonia reunited as a corps on February 24, 1858 (like Holsatia three years earlier), but only for a little more than a year. It suspended again on May 21, 1859 and reconstituted on December 11, 1864. The third suspension phase occurred on July 19, 1870 as a result of the Franco-Prussian War . This time, the resumption of active operations only succeeded twenty years later in the winter semester of 1890/91. With the exception of the summer semester of 1894 and the following winter semester of 1894/95, it then existed without interruption until the First World War. The upswing of Saxonia, like Holsatia, which was renewed in 1905 after a long break, was also related to the increase in the number of students at Kiel University after 1895.

Already at the end of the 1890s, Saxonia was able to call a house their own thanks to the donation of an old man . In 1931 she acquired the Krupp'sche Villa on Kiellinie 71, right next to the Kiel Yacht Club, from the Krupp family's property . The building, the garden house and the enclosing wall on the water side have been a cultural monument as a structural complex with historical and urban value since May 4, 2018 . The building was probably built around 1910, reconstruction in 1914 under Hans Beissel for Gustav Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach ; two-storey, gable-independent plastered building under a saddle roof , front with side projections , arbor and younger polygonal bay window; water-side enclosure wall and garden shed.

In January 1950, Saxonia was one of the 22 corps that joined forces in the interest group and prepared the re-establishment of the KSCV. As in 1912, she appointed the chairman of the Kösener Congress in 1953 . Walter Ballas was the first post-war chairman of the VAC board .
