Since the establishment of the Senior convents to Leoben and Vienna on the Kösener Congress in 1920, the Corps is shaft member Kösener Senioren-Convents-Verband (KSCV). Today Schacht, Montania and Erz form the Leoben SC.

Corps history

On May 9, 1861 of the same year, the "Connection Schacht" was founded based on the model of the Schemnitz Connection Schacht with the purpose of sociability and the maintenance of mining-academic customs and traditions. Almost at the same time as the "Connection Schacht" was founded, numerous Reich German corps students of the Academy formed the table company "Caffonia". Since there was a good relationship and brisk traffic between “Schacht” and “Caffonia”, the idea of ​​founding a corps “Tauriscia” (colors: blue gold red) arose in February 1862. In May 1862 they declared themselves to be a corps for the first time.

In October 1874, Schacht finally declared himself a corps after a new statute made the Bergakademie equal to the related technical universities. The day of the Conservative Declaration is the day of the foundation: May 9th, 1874. The colors and motto were retained, but the circle was changed to the one that is valid today and a four-part coat of arms was created. The black hat was introduced in January 1876.

Due to the close bond between Joannea and Schacht, a compromise was reached. The contract provided for the intimate, amicable intercourse between the two corps, while maintaining the crap ratio. In memory and tradition of this time, determination mensuras are still fought with Joannea, an exception among cartel corps.

In the 1880s, due to a separate statute of the city, all corps and fraternities in Leoben were suspended and continued to exist in secret until the spring of 1895 the mining academy was elevated to a mining university. This eliminated the prohibition of student fraternity and corps students.

Joannea sent the two corps boys Felix Busson and Max Stadler von Wolfersgrün to Schacht, and the chestnut Max Hupfeld supported the reconstitution. The following years were marked by a small corps community led by Felix Busson. In addition to the impressive fencing achievements, the reputation in the population grew more and more.

The First World War led to the suspension of the Corps. 38 corps members took part in the war; five fell and two died of contracted diseases.

After the end of the First World War, an increasing number of former officers joined the association; in February 1919, active operations were resumed with 7 corps boys, 1 inactive corps boy and one CK conspirator. The nature of the corps and the attitude of the active was expressed in May 1919, in the closed participation of the Schacht in the Carinthian defensive battles in the student battalion, which was a total of about 250 men, under the leadership of a butcher, Captain Walter Baumgartner. The decision to found a Leoben student battalion was made unanimously on the basis of an audience meeting on May 3, 1919 in the auditorium of the university. During the assignment in Carinthia, the college of professors closed the course.

In October 1919, the number of active persons with 16 CB, 1 CK, 12 F (Fuchs), 3 iaCB, 3 CB on leave was so strong that 6 CB and 2 F were given to Montania and this could be reconstituted. On June 18, 1921 Senior Baron von Bolfras fights the 1000th scale in Schachter colors with a cartel brother of Joannea.

With the admission into the KSCV in 1919, efforts came to join one of the existing circles. Since none of the shafts really corresponded to the nature of the shaft, the decision was made to wait and soon they found what they were looking for in the corps of the emerging South German cartel , which was finally sealed on May 12, 1924 on Cartel Day in Erlangen.

The years between the wars were initially characterized by a strong activity, the purchase of the corp house (1929) and the cultivation of boyish virtues. In academic circles and in mining and metallurgy society, the corps held a high position and maintained a very high reputation.

In 1938 the Corps had to suspend after the annexation of Austria . The Schachter based in Leoben tried to keep the scattered Corps brothers close together.

After the war, the old gentlemen's association decided in 1949 to reactivate the corpsmen Plas II and Poech IX, first as Club Austria, then as Club Schacht and finally again in 1951 as Corps Schacht. In June 1952 the first scales after the war were fought with Joannea. The Corps enjoyed an extremely brisk influx in the years that followed. In 1957, an interview with Borussia Berlin was concluded, which was converted into a friendship in 1961 and a cartel in 1968. In 2003 a friendship was established with the Corps Hubertia Freiburg . In 2011, the Corps Schacht celebrated its 150th anniversary with a large festival in the mining town. The KSCV's highest award for achievements in studies, the Klinggräff Medal, was given to two schachters in 2018. A total of four corps brothers received this award.
