history

The Heidelberg SC Comment from 1810 first used the term corps

The oldest Suevia in Heidelberg was created in 1805 through the conversion of the corps of the Palatinate Landsmannschaft (Palatia I), but disappeared again after a few semesters. Today's Corps Suevia was founded on March 27, 1810, making it the oldest student union in Heidelberg. Together with the then Corps Curonia, Rhenania , Vandalia and Hannovera , Suevia signed the SC-Comment of the Heidelberg Seniors' Convent of June 1, 1810, in which the term "Corps" was used in a comment for the first time. In 1848 the Corps Suevia was one of the founding members of the Kösener Seniors Convents Association (KSCV). Suevia is one of the Baden state corps and was firmly rooted in the civil service of the Grand Duchy of Baden from the 19th century until the 20th century , but it also recruits students from northern Germany .

After the suspension in 1935, the old rulers took part in the formation of the Heidelberg SC comradeship " Axel Schaffeld " and made the corp house available to them.

In 1971 Suevia was the presiding suburban corps in the KSCV and in 2003 and 2005 also provided the Munich and Passau chairmen of the oKC.

The main central belt asteroid (417) Suevia is named after the union.

The Swabian pub was located in the “Reichskrone” until the 1870s, before the first own house was acquired in the former “Eisenhardtschen Bierkeller”, which was later converted into the house that still exists today according to plans by the Mannheim architect Rudolf Tillessen . The house inauguration was celebrated on May 20, 1905 in the presence of the Hereditary Grand Duke of Baden. Some relics from the construction period still exist today. Because of the rare stone used in the construction ( quartz trachyte ), which comes from a rock formation in the Siebengebirge , the house is also known as the " Drachenfels ". Particularly impressive extracts of this rock can be seen in the cellar of the house, which is also called the rock cellar for this reason.
