history

Time until 1945

When the Hamburg colonial institute was founded, plans arose within the Hamburg Association of Old Burschenschafter (VAB) to found a fraternity in Hamburg if the colonial institute were elevated to a university. Delayed by the First World War , the foundation finally took place by a resolution of the Senate on March 19, 1919. Even before the actual opening on May 10, 1919, members of VAB Hamburg founded the Hamburg fraternity on April 19, 1919. On August 8, 1919, Germania was immediately admitted to the German fraternity without a trial period, since it was founded by fraternities . Numerous members of VAB Hamburg joined her as old men , and in the summer semester of 1925 a first fraternity house in Bogenstrasse was acquired. Germania developed into one of the strongest Hamburg connections and in the winter semester 1930/31 already had more than 100 old men and more than 50 active and inactive.

During the National Socialist era , Germania was transferred to the NSDStB in 1935 , but this was reversed in 1936. It continued to exist as the comradeship of Otto von Bismarck . In the Second World War 20 members fell. The Germanenhaus was destroyed in a bomb attack on Hamburg in 1943.

Time after 1945

After the end of the Second World War, active life continued from 1947, first in the Academic Circle of the University of Hamburg , then Germania was re-established in 1959, after a merged union, the Halle-Hamburg fraternity Germania , first existed from 1953 . In 1961, Germania was a co-founder of the fraternity in the German fraternity. In 1986 Germania chaired the German fraternity. At the Burschentag 2006, Germania applied for the “fraternity-political orientation” to be “realigned”. What is needed is "offensive support for nationality work in areas of German minorities", especially in the "German eastern areas". It is also about "pushing back further multiculturalization" of the Federal Republic of Germany and Austria "through further immigration and admission of refugees of cultural origin". What is needed is "a reversal of the demographic catastrophe due to the steady decline in the birth rate". After all, fraternity members would have to offer “resistance” in future against the “dictatorship of so-called political correctness”.

Political classification

At the beginning of the 1970s, Germania oriented itself towards the NPD , to which there were also personal overlaps. At the end of the 1980s, an intensive friendship began with the Vienna Academic Fraternity Olympia , which is considered radical . Like the Olympics, Germania advertised itself with the leaflet: "If you are ugly or a stranger in the country, are you tormented by left-wing liberal sentiments, have you refused military service or a friend who is neither beautiful nor quiet (...) then stay rather at home". In the 1990s, the Hamburg readership of the Junge Freiheit (JF), the Hamburger Kreis (HK), met regularly in the Germanenhaus and invited well-known speakers from the extreme right to training courses. The radicalization of the HK and its observation by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution led to the JF formally separating from it. Until 1993, the leader of the later banned Freedom German Workers' Party in Hamburg was the spokesman for the fraternity and made the liaison house the party's headquarters.

Observation by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution

The Hamburg State Office for the Protection of the Constitution wrote in a 1993 internal report ". In their rejection of democracy and its endorsement of the leader principle many Germans make no bones" At that time watching the Hamburg Constitutional Protection (VS) joint military sports exercises by members of the "Teutonia Hamburgia" the "Germania" and neo-Nazis. Until it was mentioned in the report for the protection of the constitution, the fraternity had been observed by the protection of the constitution for years.

The connection has been listed annually in the constitution protection report since 2014. “The diction and tenor of their publications [in the context of the refugee issue] hardly differed from those published on the Internet by right-wing extremist parties and groups.” “On March 5, 2016, there was not only considerable noise from the neighborhood and later also from arriving police officers, but also several times“ Sieg Heil ”calls were heard, which came from a group of people who were apparently in the“ HB! Germania “celebrated”. Germania is known to the military counter-intelligence service as a “right-wing extremist fraternity”. In April 2018, Germania filed a lawsuit with the Hamburg Administrative Court against the mention in the report for the protection of the constitution, a judgment is pending.

Fraternity house

The Germanenhaus is the connection house of Germania in Sierichstrasse 23. It was acquired in 1959. The New Front community of opinion met in the villa . Initially, the right-wing extremist German Legal Office was located in the fraternity's postal environment. The house serves as a meeting place for the Identitarian Movement .

Harry Lange student residence hall

The so-called house association of the Teutons, the Harry-Lange eV student residence, carries the Teutonic House. In 1977 members of Germania registered the association as “Burschenschaftliches Studentenwerk zu Hamburg”. In 1990 they decided to rent the rooms to students who do not belong to a “fraternity”. They changed the name of the association in 1997 in order to “keep alive” the memory of the deceased old man of the “Germania”, Harry Lange. 2001 was the chairman of the Christian Brandes association (Schillpartei)
