The Corps Teutonia Stuttgart is a student association at the University of Stuttgart . It is a colored, striking , non-religious and apolitical student association, whose members are committed to the principle of tolerance. As a corps at a technical university, it is organized in the Weinheim Seniors Convent (WSC), of which it is a founding member.

history

The Corps Teutonia zu Stuttgart was founded on May 12, 1852 as the "Society Teutonia" at the then Polytechnic School in Stuttgart. Of the six students who formed a friendship alliance at the time, the later publishing bookseller Privy Councilor Adolf von Kröner and the later poet and literary historian Wilhelm von Hertz , who also became Franke in Tübingen , achieved a high reputation in later life. The young Teutonia chose the colors green-gold-red, which were also worn in public and which have remained unchanged to this day, in the same way as the motto “Vigor, Virtus, Veritas” (strength, courage, truth).

In its first statutes it not only called itself society, but also the term “connection” is used in it. Through the cooperation of scientific and artistic forces, a closed spiritual unit was to be formed, to which each member had to contribute according to his abilities. Regular pubs, singing and fencing lessons were set and the members obliged to give satisfaction.

Since the board of directors of the Polytechnic, for which academic freedom did not yet exist, was not very benevolent towards the student liaison system and even forbade the wearing of paint for a time, the development of Teutonia was difficult and changeful in the first few years. When the founding senior had succumbed to a serious illness, the federal government had to temporarily suspend it on April 29, 1854, but it was able to reopen as a connection on June 15, 1855. Relations with the Tübingen Franks and Swabians, who temporarily made their drum kit available to Teutonia and also acted as referees for the scales, promoted the progressive development of the Corps, which came to an end when the connection declared itself to be the Corps in October 1861 and thus became the oldest corps in Stuttgart.

After the Rhenania association had taken the same step on January 15, 1862, the Stuttgarter SC was founded on that day, which the previous Stauffia association also joined on May 22, 1863 , with whose members the Teutons had repeatedly taken up arms since 1855 had crossed. Moreover, since in November 1860 the existence of connections at the Polytechnic was expressly permitted by its new statutes under certain conditions, the Teutonia was now granted a rapid flourishing. On April 7, 1863 in Frankfurt am Main, Teutonia was one of the ten founding corps of the "General Senior Citizens 'Convention" (ASC), later the Weinheim Senior Citizens' Convention .

The friendship relationship with the Corps Bavaria Karlsruhe was established by contract of April 29, 1870 , which proved to be particularly close and incontestable in the coming times.

In the war years 1914–1918 the corps operations were completely shut down. Of the seventy-three Teutons who went to war at the time, ten lost their lives. After the WSC had already dissolved, the Corps Teutonia had to resolve its dissolution on May 30, 1936 under the pressure of the political situation. By continuing the reporting to the Corps Brothers by means of the “Teutonenbriefe”, the further holding of the foundation festivals and similar measures, a close cohesion was maintained. The Second World War claimed eleven deaths from among the Stuttgart Teutons.

On September 24, 1949, the old rulers established an "academic association Teutonia", which on July 23, 1950, co-founded the Weinheimer corps student working group as Corps Teutonia and restituted the old Corps Teutonia, which had been extinguished for 16 years due to forced dissolution, on May 21, 1952 . The old rulers of the Corps Teutonia in Dresden, which was dissolved on November 17, 1935 and which had previously maintained friendly relations with the Stuttgart Teutonia for years, joined the Stuttgart Old Men Association, which as a result has been renamed “Verein Alter Stuttgarter and Dresdener Teutonen e. V. “leads. Since the Dresden old gentlemen also saw their own corps continued in the resurrected active corps in Stuttgart until the situation in Dresden allowed it to revive, the conscripts in Stuttgart also wore the black-red-white Dresden ribbon, which was fenced on to this ribbon could be acquired by all corps brothers. At the 101st Foundation Festival on June 6, 1953, a newly built corps home at Herdweg 71 was handed over to the active corps by his former owners. Since May 1956 there are friendship relationships with the Corps Montania in Clausthal and Palaeo-Teutonia-Freiberg in Aachen as the friendship corps of the former Teutonia-Dresden. In 1966 the Corps Teutonia Dresden was restituted in Bochum and moved into a corps floor at Brüderstraße 13. In 1994 the corps moved from Bochum to Dresden.

On June 29, 1984, the four -league between the Corps Montania Clausthal , Palaeo-Teutonia Aachen , Teutonia Stuttgart and Teutonia Dresden was concluded. Three years later, on June 14, 1987, another friendship treaty was signed with Corps Vitruvia Munich.
