history

House of Arminia in Frankfurt am Main

On June 18, 1860, the student association Arminia was founded in Leipzig . A year later, the university rector recognized the statute as a fraternity . In 1902 she was a founding member of the German Burschenschaft and its first chairman. There she directed the inauguration of the fraternity monument in Eisenach . By 1910 the Arminia had over 550 members. At the same time, the Frankfurt fraternity Arminia was founded in Frankfurt am Main in 1926 . In 1926 the Landsmannschaft Chattia and in 1934 the Corps Moenania went into this.

At the end of the Second World War it was no longer possible for the Leipzig Armines to remain in Leipzig, which is why the old gentlemen of the Leipzig Arminia joined forces in 1949 , there were no active students, with the active ones and the old men of the Frankfurt Arminia together to form the Frankfurt-Leipziger Arminia fraternity in Frankfurt am Main. Since then, the connection has continued to lead a double circle but only one band . The connection is the bearer of the Frankfurt and Leipzig tradition. Therefore, after the fall of the Wall , the Frankfurt-Leipzig fraternity Arminia founded the fraternity Arminia zu Leipzig . She was also a founding member of the Red Direction and the Burschenschaftliche Initiative within the German Burschenschaft.

Arminia was the first student organization at Johann Wolfgang Goethe University recognized by the rectorate after the Second World War . She maintains a friendship relationship with the Freiburg fraternity Teutonia , the old Darmstadt fraternity Germania , the Giessen fraternity Germania and the Arminia fraternity in Leipzig.

From 1947 to 1955 the Kaiserstraße in Frankfurt was called Friedrich-Ebert-Straße. The renaming was not very popular among the population. In a night and fog action, active members of the Arminia pasted over all street signs with the original name and informed the press. On May 12, 1955, it was decided to rename it Kaiserstrasse.

Most recently, Arminia headed the German Burschenschaft as chairman in the 1998/99 financial year, and managed to win Helmut Kohl as the keynote speaker for the Burschentag . This was the only time that an incumbent or former Federal Chancellor spoke on Burschentag. On March 3, 2012 she founded the Burschenschaftliche Zukunft (IBZ) initiative as one of 21 fraternities of the German Burschenschaft , to which she has been a member since then. In December 2012 she declared her resignation from the German fraternity and has not belonged to any corporation association since then .
