Corps Slesvico-Holsatia

The Corps Slesvico-Holsatia is a corps in the Weinheim Senior Citizens' Convention (WSC). It was founded on October 29, 1848 as the Schleswig-Holstein Association in Alberti's coffee house and chose the motto "Fides-Libertas-Unitas", which is still valid today. The founding boys were Johann Kröhnke, Wilhelm von Prangen and Asmus F. Petersen. The Corps Slesvico-Holsatia today has around 10 active members and around 100 old men. The corps is supported by the "Verein Haus Schleswig-Holstein Hannover eV" who also finances and operates the Corpshaus in Wilhelm-Busch-Straße in Hanover at the University Garden.

history

Politically, the middle of the 19th century was marked by unrest and instability. After the revolutionary year of 1848, the authorities endeavored to consolidate their position and, as far as possible, to nip any emerging opposition in the bud. On the other hand, however, the students increasingly formed in connections that were free, grassroots democratic and shaped by progressive ideas.

Schleswig-Holstein Association

On October 29, 1848, 20 students from what was then Polytechnic - now the University of Hanover - who came from Schleswig-Holstein joined forces in Alberti's coffee house to form the Schleswig-Holstein Association. Their goal was to bond more closely, to study successfully together and to fight for more freedom and democracy. Hence the motto of the Corps: Fides-Libertas-Unitas .

Slesvico-Holsatia country team

With the "Schleswig-Holstein Association" they were far ahead of their time in many ways. On the one hand, they founded the first student association in Hanover and, on the other hand, they gave themselves a name that was only used as a name for a federal state after the Second World War. The choice of the colors "blue-white-red", which they have been wearing since then, was particularly groundbreaking, because these colors have only officially been the state colors of Schleswig-Holstein since 1947 . On November 18, 1852, the convent decided "in a solemnly high mood" to convert it to the Landsmannschaft Slesvico-Holsatia (Schleswig-Holstein latinized, as was customary at the time).

Foundation of the WSC

In the spring of 1863, 12 corps from the four university locations Karlsruhe, Hanover, Stuttgart and Zurich founded a general SC in Frankfurt am Main, which was named after its permanent meeting place Weinheim Weinheimer ASC, since 1875 Weinheim Senioren-Convent, WSC for short. On June 18, 1869, the Slesvico-Holsatia country team joined the WSC and became the Slesvico-Holsatia Corps.

Five-member

On June 2, 1897, Slesvico-Holsatia founded the five -man union together with the Corps Franconia Karlsruhe , Rhenania ZAB in Braunschweig, Stauffia Stuttgart and Saxonia-Berlin. The Fünferbund is the largest friendship association of corps within the Weinheim Senior Citizens' Convention.

The fraternity houses

House on Wilhelm-Busch-Strasse No. 2, corner of Nienburger Strasse

For the 39th Foundation Festival in 1891, the company moved into the Corphaus at Bergmannstrasse 4. Twenty years later it was decided to build a new house for reasons of space, which was inaugurated on the 65th Foundation Festival in 1917 on Nienburger Strasse and the corner of Wilhelm-Busch-Strasse. As a result of the First World War , life in the corps came to a standstill, as all but one of the active members were committed to the front.

Uni beer garden

The grounds of the university beer garden in the former garden of the corp house are owned by the corps and are leased to an external operator. Since a renovation in the spring of 2013, the beer garden looks more like a beach bar and no longer bears the name "Uni-Biergarten" but the name "Leibniz Lounge".

National Socialism

The next difficult time for the Corps was not long in coming. National Socialism also left its mark on him. Ultimately, the realization prevailed that under the given political conditions and the external pressure to which the corps were exposed, they could not maintain their democratic and liberal principles. Therefore, the Corps decided on October 21, 1935 to suspend with effect from November 18, 1935 in order to anticipate a forced dissolution. The corps was thus disbanded.

The other corps in Hanover fared no differently. The old rulers of the Corps Saxonia, Ostfalia and Slesvico-Holsatia decided to found the Comradeship XI for the summer semester of 1938, from which the Comradeship " Paul von Hindenburg " emerged in January 1941 . With the occupation of Hanover and the ban on comradeships, the comradeship "Paul von Hindenburg" ended in 1945.

After the war

In 1949 the members of the corps founded the student association Slesvico-Holsatia. On June 18, 1950, the FCC decided to lift the suspension of the Corps from 1935 and, on July 23, 1950, joined the Weinheim Corps Students Working Group (WCA), a forerunner of the re-established Weinheim Senior Citizens' Convention.

The AH-Verein der Slesvico-Holsatia merged with the Alemannia Hannover on November 18, 1950. He rejoined the Weinheim Association of Old Corps Students on October 8, 1949 .
