Halle Seniors' Convent (1884)

The Halle Seniors 'Convent is the Seniors' Convent of the Corps at the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg . With over 200 years of history, it is one of the oldest student institutions.

history

The old country teams

After the founding of the Friedrichs-Universität Halle in 1694, old compatriots can soon be identified. A royal court rescript from November 22, 1717, which caused the authorities to suppress compatriots, testifies to their existence. As a result, the orders known from other university cities established themselves , but country teams also appeared again and again, but were mostly in closer contact with one of the orders. In the homage to Minister Eberhard von der Recke on October 21, 1786, Silesians, Magdeburgers, Westphalia, Märker, East Frisians, Prussians, Halberstadters and Pomeranians are found who already wore certain colors on their uniforms and hats.

The Halle wreaths 1789–1813

Demarcation from the medals and first ban

With the foundation of the Westphalian wreath in 1789, the position of the wreaths in relation to the medals changed and they began to clearly differentiate themselves from the latter. The example of Westphalia was followed in 1791 by the Silesians , Pomeranians and Märker and in 1792 by the Magdeburgers , who now appeared openly hostile to the order and forbade their members to join an order. The first few years are often characterized by the fact that members of the order tried to infiltrate and blow up the wreaths, which they only partially succeeded in doing. In 1795 a semi-urban wreath was also founded . Since the authorities also tried to suppress the medals, they initially tolerated the wreaths, as they helped them with it. This went so far that professors visited public meetings of the Kränzchen and representatives of the Marchia even traveled to Berlin in 1794 to discuss the upcoming university anniversary with the minister of education. After the medals had largely been pushed back, the authorities began to prosecute the wreaths and a first ban was issued on March 8, 1796, which is why all wreaths dissolved on March 31, 1796. Most reconstituted a few months later.

Cartel points of the wreaths around 1800

A historically valuable document has been handed down to us with the unfortunately undated cartel points of the Hallenser Kränzchen. Since South Prussia , which had only been formed from parts of Greater Poland in 1793 , is mentioned as a recruiting area for the Silesians and both the Magdeburg and Halberstadt wreaths are still mentioned, Friedrich Wilhelm König set the period of origin to 1793-1802. On the basis of the mention of the Halberstadt residents, who were only donated in 1795, he could have narrowed down the period further. This was done after him by Wilhelm Fabricius , who narrowed the period to 1799–1801 on the basis of the assumption that the Magdeburg citizens did not begin to accept Saxony into their ranks until 1799. Since the recording of Saxony in Magdeburg but demonstrably already occurred at least since February 1796, rejected Erich Bauer this view and suggested that in studbook entries had to be found date of 12 May 1799, the date of origin of the cartel points. However, this dating cannot be correct either, since he missed the fact that the Märkische Kränzchen was only reconstituted at the beginning of September 1799 and therefore would hardly have been mentioned in the cartel points in May 1799. On the other hand, since the Halberstadt and Westphalians are mentioned, and the latter had been suspended before the Halberstadt foundation (May 21, 1795) in March 1795, only one period of time comes into consideration for the emergence of the cartel points. They must have arisen between the reconstitution of the Märker on September 5, 1799 and the call for voluntary disclosure by the Kränzchen published on November 3, 1801. A more precise dating must be reserved for further knowledge. In the cartel points, the wreaths assured each other of mutual support and divided the cantons among themselves. Thus, each wreath was assigned a certain area from which it could recruit offspring, whereby the place of birth was decisive. In addition, the cartel points contain provisions on the settlement of disputes and the execution of games and duels .

Ban, duel at Reideburg and dissolution of the university

At the turn of the century, the wreaths organized a torchlight procession through the city on December 31, 1800. In Halle they frequented at this time mainly in the Egge, the restaurant of the gardener Krause in front of the Steinthor and the Barthschen Weinberg. Games took place in Zacharias Schmidt's inn in Reideburg , on the Dölauer Heide , in the forest near Liebenau and in Böllberg . A few months later, on November 3, 1801, an audience was published in which the wreaths were asked to report themselves to the Senate. At the same time, they were offered impunity with simultaneous self-dissolution. All existing Kränzchen - Westphalia, Halberstadt, Magdeburg, Silesian, Märker and Pomerania - responded to the call and reported the number of their members. As a result, an official ban on wreaths was issued on January 26, 1802. However, they did not remain suspended for long, but practically simply persisted, so that the renewed ban was just as ineffective as earlier attempts to suppress the wreaths. In the period that followed, the Magdeburg and Halberstadt residents, who were connected earlier and were numerically weakest, united on June 21, 1802 to form Saxonia .

The fact that the students disregarded the ban did not remain hidden from the authorities for long after the continued existence of the wreaths became apparent after the duel near Reideburg. In 1801, some Halle students were guests in Leipzig , where they were harassed and verbally abused by Leipzig students in their accommodation. Then the Halle Student Union imposed on the Leipziger the boycott . In 1803 there were negotiations between the two student bodies and they agreed to settle the matter with six games on March 13, 1803 near Reideburg. The first to fight was the Pomeranian Gibson and the Saxon Kahmann, who each wounded their Leipzig counterparts. Third came the Märker Oppen, who had to be taken away due to a blow in the face.

Westphalian, Saxon and Silesian boys' costumes in Halle around 1805

In the fourth game, the Westphalian Wiedenhoff was so badly wounded by his counterpart that he succumbed to his injuries shortly afterwards. Now has been made with full force against the wreaths and the participants in the games were each to ten years imprisonment convicted, of which they were subsequently adopted seven. In the aftermath of the duel, the wreaths officially broke up, but continued to exist in secret as before. On September 10, 1803, they signed a new comment.

In the following time, the wreaths became a little quieter, as the university authorities had also accepted that they could not be completely eradicated. Eichendorff's diaries and his descriptions of boys' lives and costumes in Halle are an important source for this period. On October 17, 1806, Halle was conquered by the French and Napoleon had the university closed two days later. Thus corporate life in Halle also came to a standstill.

Oelze scandal 1810

After the reopening of the university at Easter 1808, Saxonia and Guestphalia can soon be identified again through an exchange of letters with students of the University of Helmstedt . There two wreaths of the same name had formed, which had to break up again after a short time due to official pressure. That is why the people of Halle scolded them in a letter as “miserable wretches”, whereupon the Helmstedt team replied “stupid boys”. As a result, both parties discredited each other. When the University of Helmstedt was dissolved at Easter 1810, numerous students came from there to Halle to continue their studies. Among them was the student Oelze, who had previously been a member of the Saxon Landsmannschaft in Helmstedt and as such was still in disrepute. After he was asked by Guestphalia and Saxonia to learn honestly, he first went off with the Westphalian senior, but was beaten in the first course. He offered satisfaction , which the other side refused. When he was supposed to continue the game 14 days later, he refused and was then put into shit with everyone who was with him. Since some students stuck to Oelze and did not submit to the jurisdiction of the Kränzchen, there were repeated public fights between the two groups in the period that followed. Finally, on July 18, 1810, Oelze reported the incidents and investigations began against the Kränzchen, as a result of which Saxonia had to temporarily suspend, but reappeared on August 28, 1810. The group of non-incorporated students around Oelze soon formed a connection with the name “Res Publica” and the colors black-red-gold. It was called by the party around the wreaths "Sulphuria" or "Sulfur gang". In return, the Kränzians gave them the term "Pechhengste". With the departure of numerous former Helmstedt students, the number of sulfur gangs dwindled and after some fierce duels and fights between the two groups, peace was made and the "Res Publica" dissolved. Marchia and Pomerania were reconstituted from what was left, and a Borussia was founded . From now on there were five wreaths in Halle.

Dissolution of the university in 1813 and foundation of Teutonia

The university was closed again at Easter 1813, this time the wars of liberation being the reason. The members of the Marchia and four Pomeranians had already made their way to Breslau on February 13, 1813 to join the Lützow Freikorps . You had come into contact with Friedrich Ludwig Jahn at an early stage , who had previously sent three Berlin students to Halle to fathom the mood for a volunteer corps to be set up according to his plans. Student life came to a complete standstill again and so the other four wreaths were suspended after Marchia.

Cup with the federal sign of Teutonia from 1814

After the university was solemnly reopened on November 27, 1813 and some students returned, the former members of the Hallenser Kränzchen, inspired by the united fight against Napoleon, joined together in Teutonia, founded on January 11, 1814. It had the colors black and white and the motto “Eternity sworn oaths” and “Honor freedom fatherland”. It was thus a forerunner of the original fraternity founded on June 12, 1815 in Jena . That she did not follow the fraternity line is clear, however, from the fact that after the founding of the original fraternity in Jena on September 7, 1815, she concluded a guarantee agreement with Lusatia Leipzig . The members of Teutonia saw themselves as the only representatives of the student body and this claim also culminated in chastising other students if they did not meet the moral standards - which were often not met by oneself. In 1817, members of the Teutonia treated a student with the whip because he was improving his bills by selling literature. The subsequent investigation by the authorities led to the prohibition of Teutonia in March 1817, which, however, remained in secret until February 14, 1819. On that day she decided to dissolve herself.

The Seniors' Convent from 1819

Foundation of the SC

The Halle SC comment from 1820 - first and last page

After another Pomerania opened two days earlier , a Guestphalia and a Marchia were founded on the same day. Guestphalia and Pomerania signed a cartel agreement on February 15, which Marchia joined a few days later. In the same year a Palatina was briefly admitted to the Seniors' Convent and in the following year a Neomarchia was founded , which shortly thereafter renamed itself Thuringia. As a result of a brawl between Halloren and students on May 25, 1820, the authorities investigated, whereupon the SC declared on June 20, 1820 that it was liquidating itself. Now it was Saxonia that was the first to re-found itself on November 14, 1820. It was followed by Marchia, Pomerania and Thuringia a few days apart. These four now existing wreaths closed a few days later an SC comment that is still preserved today, in which Saxonia is recognized as the oldest country team. On March 4, 1821, the SC in Jena, Halle and Leipzig decided to set up a General Senior Citizens 'Convention (ASC), which met annually at different locations in secret until 1842 and which is considered to be the forerunner of the Kösener Senior Citizens' Convention Association .

Moving out to the Broyhahnschenke in 1822 and disputes

The years from 1819 onwards were marked by severe persecution by the authorities after the government commissioner von Witzleben was sent to Halle and wanted to put an end to the lads 'and country workers' activities. Under him there were repeated arbitrary arrests of individual students. Under this impression, the country teams reached an understanding with the fraternity and smashed the windows of Witzleben's apartment with stones. He immediately had a large number of students arrested and after the demand for their release by the students remained unheard of, they decided to put the university in sheat and to leave Halle. On February 7, 1822, more than half of the students participated in a biblically parodic exodus of the students to the Broyhahnschenke near Ammendorf , of which a chronicle has been preserved. After the students holed up in the tavern and refused to resume their studies, the university sent negotiators to come to an agreement with the students. After the demands of the students were largely given in, the students moved back to Halle and put those who had not taken part in the move in a mess. In 1823 the SC split for the first time after the Saxonian Sprengel said in a drunk state on February 8th in the beer bar "Zur Schleuse" that Saxonia had always crammed best . Two Pomeranians who were present contracted Sprengel that evening and Pomerania decided to overturn a Pro Patria suite for him if he did not withdraw his statement. Saxonia then declared on February 15 that Sprengel would not deprecate and overthrew Marchia, Pomerania and Thuringia a PP each. They rejected the overturned suites as unfounded and declared Saxonia to be sold. The split was soon overcome by mediating the SC to Jena and Leipzig. As a result, some members of Saxonia resigned and founded the Corps Sileso-Borussia on March 2nd . In the following year corporate life in Halle came to a complete standstill due to the repression of the authorities, and there were no SC meetings between February 17 and October 1, 1824. This in turn had the consequence that the student body moved closer together. When Pomerania and Sileso-Borussia became a SC again on October 1, Marchia joined them on December 15, and soon afterwards a guestphalia joined the SC for the first time since 1820 on February 3, 1825, the relationship with the local fraternity was peaceful .

Fight with journeymen in 1826 and a shadowy existence

Gasthaus zum Plow

On August 4, 1826, following the birthday of Friedrich Wilhelm III. a dance fun takes place in Diemitz . Meanwhile, there was a wild fight between students and journeymen, in which the few students soon lost. This news spread in Halle and the cry “ Boys out! “Let numerous students rush to Diemitz to support their fellow students. The inn was destroyed down to the walls. As before, the most stringent investigations were carried out after this incident and, in addition to numerous lighter sentences, many students were relegated and consulted . Since Sileso-Borussia was not able to name any of its members who had followed the call "Boys out!", The SC put the corps in the shit on November 28, 1826, which was not lifted again until the beginning of 1827. After the government councilor von Witzleben resigned from office in April 1828, the students hoped for quieter times. However, the criminal director Schulze, who followed Witzleben, followed an equally tough course, which is why the corps avoided appearing in public in any way. At the turn of the year 1830/1831, after the arrest of Pomeranian Gibson on New Year's Day, a public liberation action took place, as a result of which the government representative Delbrück was sent to Halle to finally shut down the connections. On February 8th, all students who were suspected of belonging to a connection or being close to their affiliation had to publicly renounce their affiliation and deliver drama material to the authorities. On the very next day, the SC and the fraternity decided that the oath taken the day before was not binding on them. Nevertheless, the corps spared no more than a shadowy existence in the following years, which were characterized by numerous suspensions and reconstitutions. During this time there were also several short-lived corps such as Rhenania , Thuringo-Guestphalia , Neoborussia and another Borussia . At the end of the 1830s, a group of students formed who pubs in the Gasthaus zum Pfluge and were called "cannibals". From this group a Guestphalia and a Marchia emerged again in 1838. Quieter times only began when Friedrich Wilhelm IV issued an amnesty on August 10, 1840 , which also enabled numerous expelled students to complete their studies. From now on, at least the corps were no longer exposed to any major persecution and the authorities concentrated only on the political fraternities.

Divisions, progress and formation of associations

At the beginning of the winter semester 1843/44 there was another split in the SC between Borussia and Marchia on the one hand and Saxonia and Guestphalia on the other. The reason for the split has not yet been determined. Both sides strengthened each other and so Saxonia and Guestphalia received a Pomerania newly founded in 1843 and Borussia and Marchia a Thuringia founded in 1844 . The reasons for the split could not have been too serious, because the interference of other SCs was forbidden and as early as June 11, 1844 they reunited to form a common SC, which was now in the order of age from Saxonia, Borussia (1836), Marchia (1838 ), Guestphalia (1840), Pomerania (1843) and Thuringia (1844). In 1844, a "General Convent" (AC) was set up with the involvement of non-corporates, which pushed the formation of new circles with a progressist orientation. When the General Convent introduced the relative compulsion to duel, which left it up to the offended person whether he wanted to get satisfaction with a weapon or through a court of honor, the Halle SC split again in 1846. The conservative corps Marchia, Guestphalia and Thuringia stood for absolute satisfaction, left the AC and formed their own senior citizens' convention. Borussia and Pomerania stayed with the Altmärker and Franconians in the AC. Saxonia, which appeared for the first time in 1802 and later repeatedly suspended, was reconstituted in 1848 and initially also sided with the Progress, but on October 30, 1848, the AC was dissolved. Pomerania had already switched sides and Thuringia had broken up. The split of the SC persisted at first: the Corps Marchia, Pomerania and Guestphalia faced the progressist Corps Borussia, Palaiomarchia, Saxonia, as well as the Cheruscia, which emerged from a wreath of Naumburgs in 1848, and Franconia, which emerged from the wreath of the Franks. On December 4, 1848, both parties discredited each other. In July 1849 negotiations broke out between the two sides. After Borussia had already joined the old SC on November 5, 1849, Saxonia followed on January 18, 1850. Cheruscia and Franconia dissolved. Palaiomarchia was received as the last corps of the split period on December 7, 1850 in the SC.

The Kösener Seniors Convents Association in 1859

At the time of the split, the Kösener Seniors Convent Association was founded. Since the conservative SC around Marchia, Guestphalia and Pomerania was viewed by the SC in Jena, Leipzig and Berlin as the rightful one, it held the decisive seat in contrast to the progressist SC, which had only one advisory seat. Bad Kösen with the courageous knight and the Rudelsburg , which had previously been the meeting point of the ASC between Jena, Leipzig and Halle, were set as the permanent meeting point of the SC. After the split and the formation of the association, quieter times began for the corps of the SC. In 1853 the SC kept the identification slip. instead of the previously customary contractors and in 1859 allowed the use of the timpani. During the celebrations to mark the 50th anniversary of the unification of the Universities of Halle and Wittenberg, disputes arose between the parade and members of the SC, as a result of which the three corps that existed at the time were banned. The ban lasted until the winter semester of 1867/68, which is why the corps paraded with hats made of gray sackcloth at this time.

Expansion of the SC and house purchase

The emergence of other forms of corporation and the emancipation of the free student body after 1860 reduced the function of the corps and the senior citizens' convention to internal concerns. Saxonia had to suspend again as early as 1864 and the subsequent wars of unification had further weakened the existence of the SC. Guestphalia had to temporarily suspend 1870–1874; Marchia had died in 1866. So it was right for the SC that some connections had developed in their orientation to corps and were looking for connection to the SC. It started with the former Progress connection Normannia , which joined the SC in 1876. It was followed by a new Pomerania and Salingia in 1877 , Teutonia in 1878 and finally Neoborussia in 1897 . Through these accessions, the SC was able to increase and hold its portfolio. From the end of the 1880s, the Halle Corps also began to think about their own houses in order to free themselves from the pumping conditions that had been maintained until then with different bars. Borussia first moved into its own home in 1887, followed by Guestphalia (1888), Palaiomarchia (1890), Teutonia (1891) and Neoborussia (1913) by 1913. Saxonia had reconstituted again in 1891, but only lasted until 1896, when it was permanently suspended. Normannia had already decided to buy the house, but since it had to suspend it in 1899, it was only realized after the reconstitution in 1921. During the First World War , the activity of most of the corps, whose members took part in the subsequent March fighting in central Germany . The corps students Heinrich Vathje , Robert Drum , Richard Lüdecke and Rudolf Schwenke fell in their course.

The time of National Socialism and a new beginning in West Germany

Full coat of arms of the Corps Saxonia Konstanz

The conformity with the egalitarian National Socialism brought the end of the corps and thus the Halle SC. By the end of October 1935, all corps had been suspended, and from October 1938 they were replaced by the “Gustav Nachtigal” comradeship in the NSDStB , which was housed in the Palaiomarchia house. About 50–60% of the old men of all Halle corps joined her. Apart from Palaiomarchia, no old man's board had any particular influence on the comradeship, which from 1942 - possibly under the influence of the comradeship of Margrave von Meißen in Leipzig - developed into corporations. It was dissolved in 1944 due to lack of interest. After the Second World War , most of the corps in West Germany were able to resurrect at their old location. This was denied to the connections from the eastern regions of the German Reich and from central Germany . That is why representatives of the six Halle Corps that existed until 1935 met in Hanover on October 22, 1949 . They decided to continue the Halle SC in exile in West Germany and to help rebuild the KSCV and the Association of Old Corps Students . However, the intended reconstitution of the SC based in Hanover did not materialize. The idea was also suggested to found a joint successor corps and to use the name of one of the two previously suspended corps Marchia or Saxonia. Palaiomarchia, however, reconstituted in December 1949 with the Collegium Albertinum in Kiel. Guestphalia, Borussia, Teutonia and Neoborussia, however, joined forces to form the planned successor corps Saxonia Frankfurt am Main , which the last remaining old gentlemen of the old Saxonia Hall also joined. They also gave their consent that the new Saxonia may refer to the old Saxonia Hall. Normannia, not involved in the re-establishment, was reconstituted in 1951 at the Erlangen Seniors' Convent . Borussia and Guestphalia later left the joint venture and Borussia reconstituted in the SC zu Mainz (1955), Guestphalia in the SC zu Münster (1958).

Return to Halle

After the fall of the Berlin Wall in November 1989 and the subsequent German reunification , it was also possible for the evicted corps to return to their old university town. With the reconstitution of the Palaiomarchia in Halle on May 4, 1991, the Halle SC was restored. Borussia also returned to Halle in November 1991. With the relocation of the Guestphalia, the Hallenser SC has again consisted of three corps since 2006, Normannia still has its headquarters in Gießen. The successor corps of Teutonia and Neoborussia was suspended from 1972 to 1984 and has been based in Constance since then.

Corps in the Halle Seniors' Convent

Askano-Thuringia

Askano-Thuringia emerged from the Thuringia (II) on July 21, 1828 , as numerous Anhalt nationals had been admitted. A little later, between 1829 and 1830, the old name was reverted to.

Borussia (I)

Borussia (I) emerged in the summer semester of 1811 from the "Res Publica" that had formed in the course of the Oelzeschen scandal and was black and white. She had to suspend Easter 1813 due to the dissolution of the university. Borussia has not been reconstituted and nothing else has been known about them so far. Following the Wars of Liberation, the returning members joined Teutonia, which was founded on January 11, 1814 in the original sense of the community.

Borussia (II)

Around 1833/34 a Borussia (II) with the colors black-white-black and the motto “Virtus bonorum corona” was donated. It changed its name to Neoborussia (I) in the summer semester of 1835 .

Borussia (III)

Cheruscia

On March 8, 1847, the Naumburg wreath was founded, which was accepted into the AC three days later on March 11. On July 28, 1848 the wreath changed its name to Cheruscia and was received with the colors black-white-blue in the progressist part of the then split SC. In the period around 1849/50 Cheruscia had to suspend and has never been reconstituted.

Franconia

At the end of 1844, the Lapponia circle formed and reported to the SC in 1845. On January 25, 1846, at the invitation of the manager, the members held a feast at Gut Schwaetz, which was not unknown to the authorities either. Perhaps that's why they changed the name to Franconia before August 1846. After a request from the progressist part of the then split SC on July 31, 1848 to join this was still refused, Franconia declared itself a corps a little later and was received in this SC on February 21, 1849. Due to a lack of members, Franconia had to declare the suspension on June 9, 1850 and was never reconstituted. The colors were green-white-red, the motto “Fama virtutis comes”.

Guestphalia

Halberstadensia

After Halberstadt students had previously been accepted into the Magdeburg wreath, they donated their own wreath with the colors red and white on May 21, 1795. It was banned less than a year later in March 1796 and had to briefly disband on March 31st. In the cartel points of the Hallenschen Kränzchen, Halberstadensia is assigned the recruiting areas Halberstadt, Quedlinburg , Wernigerode , Hohenstein, Braunschweig , Hildesheim , Mühlhausen, Nordhausen and Goslar . After the amnesty promised in 1801 and voluntary self-disclosure, the people of Halberstadt reported 20 members to the authorities and were banned on January 26, 1802, like all small circles. Shortly thereafter, on June 21, 1802, they united with the Magdeburgers to form the first Saxonia in Halle.

Magdeburgia

The Magdeburg wreath was donated on June 7, 1792, wore the colors green and white and from Christmas 1793 also accepted students from Halberstadt. This changed from February 1795 onwards. Instead of Halberstadt students who founded their own wreath in May 1795, Saxony was accepted from then on. Like all wreaths, Magdeburgia was banned in March 1796 and had to be temporarily suspended on March 31st. In the cartel points of the Halleschen Kränzchen, Magdeburgia was awarded the recruiting areas Magdeburg, Mansfeld , Saxony and the Franconian district. Magdeburgia reported 33 members to the authorities at the end of 1801, before all wreaths were again banned on January 26, 1802. Subsequently, Magdeburgia united on June 21, 1802 with the Halberstadt wreath to form the first Halle Saxonia. The Magdeburg motto was “Fide, sed cui maxime vide!”.

Marchia (I) / Marchia (II) / Marchia (III)

Neoborussia (I)

Neoborussia (I) was created in the summer semester of 1835 by changing the name of Borussia (II) . It was black-white-pink and had to suspend that same year. So far nothing else has become known.

Neoborussia (II)

Neomarchia

On March 7, 1820, some members of Marchia (II) split off and donated a Neomarchia with the colors red-white-dark green and the motto "Succurrere cadenti!", Which was received on May 9, 1820 in the SC. Soon after, on June 7th, 1820 the name was changed to Thuringia (I) .

Normannia

Palaiomarchia

Palatina

In 1819 a connection with the name Tuiskonia was formed, which sought admission to the SC. However, this refused their name, so she changed it first to Alemannia, then to Rugia and finally to the name Palatina accepted by the SC. It was received in the SC on July 27, 1819, but was dissolved again on September 26, 1819. It is believed that this was probably an attempt by the fraternity to blow up the SC, which was given up after a short time. The names and the colors of the palatina, which were initially chosen as black, red and gold, also speak for this.

Pomerania (I)

Pomerania (I) was donated on September 9, 1791 and was colored light blue and white. After the ban on all wreaths on March 8, 1796, Pomerania was dissolved like the others on March 31, but was reconstituted less than three months later on June 18. After an amnesty was announced on November 3, 1801, Pomerania registered 41 members and was banned on January 26, 1802 like all other wreaths, but was reconstituted a few months later. On March 13, 1803, she took part in the duel near Reideburg, in which her senior Gibson fought the first game and wounded his Leipzig counterpart. Like all wreaths, Pomerania was suspended after the university was dissolved by Napoleon on October 19, 1806. Like Marchia (I), Pomerania was not reconstituted until the summer of 1811 by members of the “Res Publica” (see Borussia I). When the university was dissolved again on Easter 1813 in the course of the wars of liberation, Pomerania had to suspend again. Four of its members had already hurried to Wroclaw on February 13th with members of the Marchia to join the Lützow Freicorps formed there. Following the Wars of Liberation, the returning members joined Teutonia, which was founded on January 11, 1814 in the original sense of the community.

Pomerania (II)

Pomerania (II) was donated shortly before the official dissolution of the Halle Teutonia on February 12, 1819 with the colors blue and white and based on the constitution of the Berlin Pomerania (1814-1818). Like the other wreaths, Pomerania had to suspend on June 21, 1820 due to official pressure and reconstituted on November 16, 1820 with a new constitution. The motto was “ubi patria, ibi bene”. On May 30, 1830, the colors were changed to blue-white-blue with silver percussion. At that time Pomerania was drinking at the innkeeper Rose in Giebichenstein . An investigation at the beginning of 1834 revealed the existence of the Pomerania and this probably had to be suspended as a result.

Pomerania (III)

Pomerania (III) was donated on November 17, 1843 with the colors light blue-white-light red and was in no way related to any of the earlier Pomeranias. Soon after its foundation, it was received by the then split SC around the progressist Corps Borussia and Marchia. In July 1848 she sided with the conservative corps. Pomerania had to suspend on July 6, 1851 and was not reconstituted. Her motto was "Ubi patria ibi bene".

Pomerania (IV)

Founded as a club on November 11, 1865 with the colors light blue-white-black, Pomerania (IV) first became a (new) country team in the then newly founded Coburg LC in 1869 . A few years later Pomerania resigned from the LC in the course of the first so-called "Corps crash" and applied for admission to the SC. It was accepted into this on December 11, 1876 as a renouncing corps and received on April 26, 1877. After the decision made on July 25, 1878 that Pomerania had to renounce again, it had to report its suspension to the SC on July 2, 1879. Pomerania (IV) was later reconstituted as the Landsmannschaft and exists today as a merger between Pomerania Halle and Pomerania Aachen as the Landsmannschaft in Aachen. It refers to the old Pomerania (I) and leads as the foundation year 1792.

Rhenania

Rhenania was founded on June 25, 1827 with the Rhenish colors blue-white-red, but had to suspend on May 22, 1828. Nothing else has survived from her.

Salingia

The Corps Salingia Halle has its origins in the Progress Association Salingia, founded on December 17, 1845, which for a long time leaned toward the fraternity until the active members decided to become Corps on November 1, 1877. From November 6, 1877, the SC, in which one was received on December 3, 1878, was renounced. A few years later, Salingia had to suspend on February 23, 1882 due to a lack of members. An attempt at reconstitution with the support of former active members of the Weinheimer Corps Salingia Berlin on June 4, 1930 was not recognized at the oKC 1931, which is why Salingia thereupon handed over its tradition to the Corps Neoborussia, which had previously developed from it, on June 3, 1931. The colors were black-red-white (from below), the motto “Faithful, firm, true!”. The old gentlemen, who at that time did not agree to transfer to the SC, reconstituted Salingia in 1896, first as an association of German students and then as a fraternity. After merging with the Rhenania Halle fraternity, it still exists today as the Alte Hallesche Rhenania-Salingia fraternity in Düsseldorf.

Saxonia

Silesia

The Silesian wreath was donated in the winter of 1791/92 and issued its own statutes on January 12, 1792, which were subject to minor changes on May 30, 1794. The colors were white-blue. When the wreaths were generally banned in 1796, Silesia dissolved on March 31, but like the other wreaths it was reconstituted a short time later. After the call for voluntary disclosure in 1801, Silesia registered 50 members and, like all wreaths, was finally banned on January 26, 1802, but was reconstituted shortly afterwards. Since the other wreaths assumed that Silesia was the reason for the investigation, it was initially not re-accepted into the existing cartel, but was only able to rejoin it on September 11, 1803. For this reason, Silesia did not participate in the duel at Reideburg. Their colors changed to red-black-white between 1804 and 1806. When Napoleon had the university dissolved in 1806, Silesia also suspended it and did not reappear afterwards.

Sileso Borussia

Due to differences in relation to the position to the SC, some members resigned from the Saxonia and founded a Sileso-Borussia on February 24, 1823 with the colors white-black-red-white and the motto "Beatus soli virtuti confidens". After the renunciation at the SC on March 2, Sileso-Borussia was accepted into the SC on March 12, 1823. When there was a brawl between students and craftsmen in 1826 and Sileso-Borussia could not name any of its members, which had answered the call "Boys out!" And had participated in the brawl, it fell into disrepute on November 28th plugged. Their resumption took place on February 14, 1827 and shortly thereafter the name was changed on March 22 to Thuringia (II) .

Teutonia

Thuringia (I)

Thuringia (I) was created when Neomarchia changed its name on June 7, 1820. Its colors were dark green-red-white and it was the reason why Saxonia Halle changed its colors to dark blue-white-light blue (from below) in 1820. The motto was adopted from Neomarchia. After several brief suspensions, the trace of this Thuringia is lost in early 1824.

Thuringia (II)

Thuringia (II) was created when Sileso-Borussia changed its name on March 22nd, 1827. The colors were green-red-white. Although the cantonal principle had been repealed for several years, on July 21, 1828, the name was forced to change to Askano-Thuringia , after numerous Anhalt nationals had been accepted. This change was reversed a little later between 1829 and 1830. In November 1833, Thuringia finally had to suspend and was no longer reconstituted.

Thuringia (III)

The Thuringia (III) was donated on March 7, 1843 with the colors black-white-red and received almost a year later on March 11, 1844 in the SC. After a brief suspension from January 25 to July 15, 1848, she had to suspend again on November 20, 1851. Members of the Corps Saxonia reconstituted Thuringia on August 6, 1855 with reverse color order, but could only hold it until November 2. After that, Thuringia was not renewed.

Thuringo Guestphalia

The Corps Thuringo-Guestphalia was founded on August 3, 1834 with the colors green-pink-black and the motto “Neminem time, neminem laede!”. Nothing else is known except that it had to be suspended as early as 1835.
