History until 2000

The beginnings of the Corps Silesia Breslau go back to the Schlesisches Kränzchen , which existed from 1787 as an association of students from Silesia at the then University of Frankfurt (Oder) until they moved to Breslau in 1811. In Breslau, the members of the Schlesisches Kränzchen who had moved from Frankfurt continued their student association with the same principles as Landsmannschaft Silesia , which finally became the Corps Silesia on May 24, 1821, in contrast to the General German Burschenschaft , which was created in 1818 and was more politically oriented . When the composer Franz Liszt made a long tour in Wroclaw in 1842, he visited Silesia several times and wore the colors of Silesia as a sign of his solidarity with the Corps during several Kommersen organized in his honor .

Corpsetage of Borussia-Polonia (1999)

During the time of National Socialism , the corps dissolved itself in order to forestall the ban by the Nazi authorities.

On December 7, 1950, Silesia reconstituted with two seats at the University of Cologne and the Rheinisch-Westfälische Technische Hochschule Aachen in order to maintain the Breslau tradition of connecting university students and engineers. Due to a lack of offspring, Silesia had to give up the active corps operations in Aachen in 1974 and suspend it in Cologne on October 22, 1994.

During this period of suspension from the end of 1994, the Corps Borussia-Polonia was founded on June 22, 1995 in Frankfurt (Oder). After this corps was accepted into the KSCV on July 9, 1997, Silesia began negotiations in 1999 about a joint corps operation in Frankfurt (Oder). With the help of the Borussia-Polonia corps students, Silesia was then reconstituted again on May 24, 2000 at the Viadrina European University in Frankfurt (Oder), while the Borussia-Polonia corps suspended it at the same time. The Corps Silesia Breslau then changed its name to Borusso-Silesia and made a series of changes to the corps insignia (fox colors, circles, coats of arms, motto) in order to express to the outside world that reconstitution can only be carried out with the help of the Borussia-Polonia was possible; the corps colors white, light blue and pink remained unchanged.

History since 2000

Entrance to Silesia's corp house

On December 7, 2007, Borusso-Silesia again took on the original name Silesia Breslau, but with the addition of Frankfurt (Oder) . The old corps insignia were also reintroduced.

As in 1927, Silesia is presiding suburban corps in the KSCV in 2016/17. At the on-site handover in the Kleist Forum on November 5, 2016, CVer Raimund Lang and Zigmars Vestfals spoke of Selonia .

Special obligation

Due to its geographical location and as part of the preservation of the tradition of the Corps Borussia-Polonia, the Corps Silesia Breslau sees its task on the one hand in working towards the reconciliation and friendship between the German and Polish people, on the other hand also in the memory of Wroclaw and Silesia to keep awake within the framework of a united Europe.
