The Erlanger SC is the senior citizens' convention (university) at the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen . As the oldest SC, already documented at the end of the 18th century, it was an antithesis to the original fraternity . Its organization and legal status became a model for other senior citizens' conventions and later forms of student self-administration. Since 1866 he set up the suburb of the KSCV six times .

history

Westphalia, Berliners and Ansbacher

There are references to resolutions of the Erlanger SC and thus a predecessor organization from the years 1781 and 1796, e.g. B. for 1796 in the university speech of the Vice Rector Georg Friedrich Seiler . In autumn 1798 the three “societies” - the Ansbachern , the Berliner Gesellschaft and the Erlanger Westfalen  - were granted legitimacy . It is on record through the correspondence between Minister Hardenberg and Vice Rector Seiler. After the dissolution of the Amicist Order , the Society of Franks was added in the spring of 1800. The oldest surviving Erlangen SC-Comment dates from April 1800 . The original has been with Corps Moenania Würzburg since 1818 . The existing connections recognize themselves as "societies". The name " Corps " was not used until 1818. When the Erlangen Urburschenschaft came into being in 1817/18, the SC, as a traditional power carrier, was the real opponent. In 1818 and 1820, the Erlanger SC suggested a supra-regional corps association, which was not realized until 1848 with the Kösener Seniors Convent Association . The SC joined him in 1861.

Onoldia

Onoldia played a key role in the development of the Erlangen Senior Citizens' Convention: She took over both part of the customs and the principle of lifelong affiliation from the student orders. Although it helped three later armed forces corps into life, it has survived to this day as a life corps . She gave up the country team principle at the foundation.

Hans-Joachim Schoeps sees the first modern connections in the early Erlanger Corps. They sued the non-incorporated students and feuded frequently, especially the Ansbach and the Bayreuth. As the Erlangen bullfight , the disputes received widespread public attention. August von Platen commented on this in 1822. In 1805, 56 of the 216 students enrolled, almost a quarter, were punished with prison sentences .

For the 100th foundation festival (1898), the KSCV gave Onoldia a window with the student coats of arms of all Kösener corps; she had "opened the way 100 years ago in the glorious history of the German corps" .

Baruthia

On June 26, 1802, 13 followers of the country team principle, mostly born in Bayreuth , left Onoldia. Under the leadership of Gottlieb Keim from Kulmbach , they and some former "Franks" constituted their country team on July 14, 1803, which was soon called "Society" and from 1818 "Corps". By Baruthia the life principle Corp gave up on 11 March 1877 it opened cartel accounts with other Corps.

Bavaria

Bavaria I

On 17./18. May 1820 a group of about 40 "liberals" resigned from the general fraternity when they decreed the SC. In November they founded a Concordia (blue-black-gold) with a close relationship with the Corps. On May 25, 1821, some founded the Corps Bavaria I, while the rest returned to the fraternity. Bavaria ceased operations in the winter semester of 1824 due to a lack of offspring. Initial attempts at reconstitution were unsuccessful. In 1835 an obscurants' association tried in vain for the SC to be recognized as "Bavaria". Four members were received on April 26, 1836 at Baruthia.

Bavaria II

In August 1840 twelve former Renoncen (outside members) donated Onoldias Bavaria, which was accepted into the SC on November 17, 1841. Officially suspended from July 21, 1881 to July 21, 1887, Bavaria was continued under code names (Rhenania, Normannia) until it was re-admitted. For a long time August 11, 1840 was considered the day of the foundation. Backdating to 1821 was approved by the oKC in 1921. Dissolved on January 31, 1936 under pressure from the NSDAP , it was reconstituted on March 8, 1949.

Rhenania

Erlangen's first Rhenania existed from 1821 to 1824 and had the colors blue-white-red with silver percussion. It was founded by Heidelberger Rhenanen and other corps students and was part of the cartel with Rhenania Heidelberg and Rhenania Bonn . Its members included Gottlieb Wilhelm Bischoff , Friedrich Wilhelm Knoebel , Joseph Martin Reichard and Justus Freiherr von Liebig .

Against the Constitution - with the resolution of a corps boys 'convention - Onoldias' corps boys declared their union on July 15, 1873 to be a corps of arms. Mediation efforts led to the choice of the name Rhenania II. As the life corps Onoldia, Baruthia and Bavaria refused recognition in the Erlangen secession dispute, they were discredited by Rhenania . The KSCV approved the disreputation and granted Rhenania in the Congress seat without a vote. At the oKC 1875, Rhenania's recognition as a continuation of the old Onoldia was withdrawn. She then suspended on June 11, 1875. Successor was on June 14, 1875 Franconia, who suspended on May 21, 1878. On the initiative of the pastor's daughters and in agreement with Onoldia, Rhenania was reconstituted on October 17, 1894. They took over the Franconian Philistines and renounced the external traditions of the Onoldia. The corp house was acquired by Rhenania in 1956. In 1964 she was the local spokesman for the KSCV.

In 1955 Rhenania and Brunsviga Munich signed a relationship agreement . On December 17, 1977, Rhenania merged with their friendship relationship Brunsviga Munich and has been called Rhenania-Brunsviga ever since. As before, the Rheinländerband can be purchased at the reception. The Braunschweiger Ribbon is awarded at the time of the Philistration.

Brunsviga Munich

The forerunner federation was founded on December 17, 1879 as the free-striking Braunschweigische Landsmannschaft (blue-yellow-blue) at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich . The founders Carl Prüssing and Paul Prüssing (and later other members) were successful in the cement industry and made Brunsviga the "cement corps". In 1880 the federal government was converted into a corps . The colors were purple-white-gold on silver percussion. The motto was Numquam retrorsum nec aspera terrent! On November 24th, 1882 as Kösener Corps in the Munich SC , Brunsviga had to suspend after two years due to a lack of young talent. 1886 sixteen reconstituted from the Corps Palatia Munich leaked Corp. students the corps what many PP suites had with Palatia result. In 1935, like all corps, Brunsviga had to suspend again. The corp house was used by the comradeship "Paul de la Garde" , which was jointly looked after by the old rulers of the Corps Brunsviga, Bavaria and Arminia Munich. The active comradeship was conducted in a corporation-like manner, but gauges were not fought. In 1944 the corp house was destroyed in the air raids on Munich .

On February 19, 1949, Brunsviga was able to reconstitute Munich in the SC zu Bonn ; because according to the statutes of the occupying powers the state universities had to be attended and most of the old men of the Brunsviga lived in North Rhine-Westphalia . In January 1950, Brunsviga was one of the 22 corps that formed the community of interests and prepared the re-establishment of the KSCV on May 19, 1951.

Guestphalia Erlangen

Coat of arms development

Guestphalia Erlangen was founded in 1873 as an Academic Pharmacists' Association and accredited in 1887 . The colors orange-blue-green were not worn and were changed in the summer semester of 1876 to today's colors black-white-green. The unconditional satisfaction was introduced in the winter semester of 1883/83. At the same time, lengths were allowed. The technical principle, the exclusive admission of pharmacy students, was abandoned in 1887. Couleur was created on June 10, 1898. On July 16, 1905, the Pharmacists' Association was transformed into the Free Association Guestphalia with its current circle. On December 14, 1906, she introduced the censorship.

Rudolstadt Senior Citizens' Convention

Guestphalia decided on June 29, 1912 to join the Rudolstadt Senior Citizens' Convention and thus to transform it into a corps with a constitution . Since July 30, 1912, she has renounced the RSC and was reciprocated on May 14, 1913. The Cheruscia Erlangen was donated in order to enable her to have a lump-sum relationship with an RSC in Erlangen . Erlanger Westphalia was released for this in the winter semester of 1922/23. Taking over the members of the suspended Cheruscia Munich (1895–1923), they founded Cheruscia Erlangen on January 19, 1924. The disputes in the RSC - especially about the acceptance of members of the connections at the Polytechnic Koethen - moved Guestphalia to the decision of June 1, 1930, to resign from the Rudolstadt Senior Citizens' Convention after 18 years.

Kösener SC Association

Guestphalia had been renouncing the Erlangen Seniors' Convent since May 4, 1934 and was reciprocated on June 20, 1935. After Hercynia Tharandt (1932), she and Hilaritas Vienna were the last corps to be accepted into the KSCV shortly before the doors closed during the Nazi era . Under pressure from the NS student union , Guestphalia dissolved itself on January 31, 1936 by a majority decision. The active players stayed together and did the last graduation in the winter semester 1937/38.

Guestphalia looked after the comradeship "General Ludendorff" since 1938 . Up to the winter semester 1940/41, there were occasional scales. Some members of the comradeship also joined the Erlangen armed forces .

New beginning

Guestphalia in the IG

Guestphalias AHV was reactivated on October 19, 1947. The CC was reconstituted on November 6, 1948 and was, after Guestphalia Würzburg, the second Westphalia Corps in Erlangen until 1949. In January 1950, Guestphalia was one of the 22 corps that joined together in the interest group and prepared the re-establishment of the KSCV on May 19, 1951. In December 1953 six members of the comradeship were accepted. Guestphalia Erlangen has been a member of the Magdeburg Circle since 1976.

Erlangen Westphalia

Members are Ernst Otto Beckmann , Paul Bohrisch , Max Busch , Otto Fischer , Eugen von Gorup-Besánez , Konrad Haderlein , Gerhard Haider , Thorolf Hager , Albert Hilger , Hans-Peter Howaldt , Karl Kippenberger , Hans-Otto Keunecke , Hans Hellmut Koch , Gustav Korff , Josias Neumann , Carl Paal , Hans Schmidt , Otto Ulmer , Walter Wargau , Fritz Winkler and Richard Hückel (Chairman of the Association of Old Corps Students 2016–2019)

post war period

Erlanger SC was forcibly dissolved in January 1936. In the time of National Socialism , only the Philistine clubs could maintain the continuity of their corps. That was not possible for the corpsman convents . Onoldia was a certain exception until December 21, 1947 because, as a life corps , she has unlimited philistine voting rights. When the suspension was on May 3, 1936 , the active CC transferred its full powers to the Philistine Society. The weapons Corps Bavaria, Baruthia, Guestphalia and Rhenania was not or only to a limited extent. From 1949 the Erlanger SC flourished again. The dissolution of the KSCV from 1935 was only declared null and void in 1951.

Misnia and Guestphalia Würzburg

The Corps Misnia IV , relocated from Leipzig, was the first corps to open on December 14, 1946. The Corps Guestphalia Würzburg - founded on February 27, 1875 in the SC zu Würzburg - reconstituted on November 20, 1947 in Erlangen. With Misnia IV and the Nuremberg War Corps Franko-Bavaria, an “informal SC” was created at the end of November 1947. It is not secured by files or SC logs. This was followed in 1948/49 by a ring of arms to which the Germania fraternity belonged. The golden helmet in Helmstrasse was used for meetings. The Würzburg Westphalia returned to Würzburg in November 1949 and merged with the Makaren on July 30, 1950 to form the Corps Makaria-Guestphalia Würzburg . The Franco-Bavarians received the Ansbacherband after they dissolved their union and fought on Onoldia's colors in April 1948. Misnia dissolved on December 3, 1949 and reconstituted the Corps Lusatia Leipzig on the same day . Lusatia officially left the Erlanger SC only in 1958 when she was accepted into the Berlin Seniors' Convent (KSCV) on May 1st .

Reconstitution of the SC

The autochthonous Erlanger Corps Onoldia, Bavaria and Guestphalia Erlangen reconstituted the SC in Erlangen on November 12, 1949. A letter from this SC shows that Guestphalia Würzburg zu Erlangen, like the Erlangen fraternity Germania, steered a right-wing, politically dangerous course. She was therefore not accepted into the SC. Lusatia joined the SC on December 3, 1949, Baruthia later. This autochthonous SC with Onoldia, Bavaria, Guestphalia Erlangen and Lusatia participated at the beginning of 1950 in the establishment of the "community of interests" , which initiated the revival of the KSCV.

The Corps Normannia-Halle was reconstituted on July 8, 1951 by the former Würzburg Westphalia in Erlangen and accepted by the SC as the 5th Corps. On April 25, 1961, Normannia moved to the Gießen Seniors' Convent .
