Coat of arms of the Corps Teutonia

The Corps Teutonia was a Berlin student association in the Weinheim senior citizens' convention .

Every student enrolled at a Berlin university could become active in the Corps Teutonia, regardless of their origin, religion, ideology or nationality.

The principles of the dutiful Corps Teutonia were the principle of tolerance, the principle of achievement and the principle of society. The motto of the corps was "amico pectus, hosti frontem" (the friend's chest, the enemy the forehead).

history

The Corps Teutonia was founded on July 1, 1870 as Landsmannschaft Hercynia at the Military Medical School in Berlin. The founding members are all former members of non-striking associations who have teamed up to fencing scales.

In 1872 it was renamed Landsmannschaft Feronia , the patron goddess of the freedmen. At this point in time, former military veterinarians were barred from working as civilian veterinarians after their service. Feronia acted as a representative of the interests of former military veterinarians.

In 1874 the Landsmannschaft Feronia founded the Blue Cartel together with the Landsmannschaft Hannoverania and was co-founder of the Rudolstädter Seniors Convent , which merged with the Weinheim Seniors Convent in 1934 . In 1880 Feronia changed its name to Teutonia, because it was denied university admission as an association with the name "Feronia", apparently due to the too progressive meaning of the name.

From 1902 the corps principles were adopted, in 1910 the veterinary principle fell, which led to the opening of all scientific universities in Berlin.

On July 1, 1936, the corps was dissolved under pressure from the Nazi regime. The reconstitution took place on October 10, 1952 in Berlin. One of the restitution boys was Udo Janssen, who was refused enrollment at the Free University of Berlin because he confessed to beating the scale. This decision was reversed in one of the well-known scaling processes in 1958.

On July 1, 1970, the Corps Teutonia merged with the Corps Cimbria, which mainly consisted of beer brewers, and has been called "Corps Teutonia, Corps of the Cimbres and Teutons" ever since.

The Corps Cimbria was founded on May 10, 1888 as the "Brewers' Association Cerevisia". Cerevisia is the Latin word for beer. Its colors were green-white-gold, the fox colors gold-white-gold. The motto was “Nec aspera terrent!”. On May 10, 1920, Cerevisia was renamed Cimbria. Cimbria belonged to the Naumburg Seniors' Convent until 1934 , when it merged with the RSC in the WSC.

In the summer semester of 2009, the Corps Teutonia of the Cimbri and Teutons Berlin merged with the Corps Rheno-Guestphalia Berlin and Corps Cheruscia Berlin to form the new Corps Berlin .
