history

The batches of the winter semester 1922 with the Prussian deer catchers used until 1945.

The Masovia Hunting Corps in Berlin was founded on January 15, 1914 by the founders Gustav Condereit, Max Gorr, Robert Troje and Willi Prehl at the Agricultural University of Berlin . The hunting writer Fritz Bley was also involved in the establishment. The name Masovia can be traced back to the home of the founders, the former East Prussian Masuria . The old country team aspects were followed when naming. The shovel antlers of the elk , the largest deer native to Masuria, became the emblem of Masovia. Based on the idea of bringing together students interested in hunting in a corporation, educating their members to become skilled hunters by cultivating a hunter's spirit and at the same time preserving student customs, the founders brought a new principle into German fraternity by forming the hunting corps.

Due to the war, the founders did not get together again until 1919, and then officially constituted or restituted the corps on January 15, 1920. From 1921/22 onwards, the first friendly connections in Berlin to the former connections Cimbria and Agraria at the Agricultural University. In the 1920s, the pub was in the Nationalhof on Bülowstrasse.

True to the character of a hunting corps, all corps brothers were hunters and dutiful . The scale weapon was the saber that was still allowed at the time. The courses took place at Alexanderplatz, in the forest near Schulzendorf and in Friedrichstrasse. The hunting training of the Corps brothers was in the foreground, so there were theoretical hunting lessons with experienced hunters, weekly practice shooting in Wannsee and the introduction of the pubs with hunting lectures. The Academic Prize Shooting has been a traditional event since January 14, 1922. The Reichsjagdbund recognized the hunting corps Masovia, which was shown, among other things, in the fact that it hosted the foundation ceremony of the hunting corps in 1931.

The life of connections in Germany almost came to a standstill after 1933. Apart from the Hunting Corps Masovia and the Hunting Corps Hubertia Halle, the other hunting associations either suspended themselves or joined forces with other non-hunting associations. The WJSC was also suspended at the Masovia corps home. A ban could be lifted by objection and subject to conditions. In the winter semester of 1934/35, the old man's association of the Masovia hunting corps was strengthened by the transition of the old man's association of the free Corps Hasso Borussia. In the summer semester of 1935, the Hubertia Halle Masovia hunting corps was affiliated, as there was more likely to be a chance of survival for the hunting corps students there. In 1938 the Saxo-Silesia Dresden hunting corps followed, to which the AHV of the Teuto-Silesia Leipzig sports association had already been transferred in 1934. Under the old man Pohle, the statutes had to be changed in 1935, so that the corps was officially no longer a student corporation, but an association. However, the club business had no differences from a corporate semester business, which means that both receptions and courses are occupied during the Nazi era. Due to the Second World War, only a few corps brothers remained in Berlin. However, they were able to maintain the tradition through monthly bars, shooting in Wannsee and foundation festivities. Together with the Corps Franconia Berlin and the Landsmannschaft Arminia, Masovia looked after the Kubitza comradeship . The last official meeting before the end of the war was the Christmas party on December 17, 1944. Pohle managed to save valuable inventory despite the chaos of the war and looting.

From 1946 onwards, he organized the first private meetings. In May 1955 the first convent took place, in which the reactivation of the Masovia Hunting Corps on June 25, 1955 was decided. Both the foundation festival and a mensur were held again for the first time in 1956. By means of a convention resolution in the spring of 1957, the Corps Masovia adapted to the circumstances of the time and passed from the determination censorship to the conference censorship. The hunting training was now the responsibility of the corps hunter.

Masovia chaired the Convent of German Corporations Associations for the first time in 1964 with Dietrich Leßmann .

The Masovia hunting horn players took part in a theater performance in 2004. The Hunting Corps Masovia zu Berlin was represented again and again at the Green Week in Berlin, so they supported the exhibition of the German Hunting Association in 2014 and also had their own stand together with the WJSC .

Masovia and the WJSC

Historical coat of arms of the WJSC

Foundation of the WJSC

The Masovia Hunting Corps also had an external impact. The “Academic Hunting Club Borussia” was founded in Hanover from Berlin. With this, Masovia founded the Cartel of Academic Hunting Associations in Berlin on January 30, 1922 , which was expanded on June 26, 1924 to include the Hubertia Halle Hunting Corps. On February 12, 1927, the Hubertia Breslau Jagdcorps was admitted to the ordinary cartel convention.

On July 2nd, 1927, his old men Christian-Ernst zu Stolberg-Wernigerode and Frick-Scholz founded the Wernigeroder Jagdcorps Senioren-Convent (WJSC) in Wernigerode Castle , of which Masovia has been a founding member since then. The first meeting also took place under the chairmanship of Masovia. As a sign of the special bond with the Stolberg-Wernigerode family , whose male members are traditionally Masovia's members, the senior at the Chargenwichs wears their house medals .

Reconstitution after '45

With the newly established hunting associations Hubertia Bonn, which became the new traditional bearer of Halle, and Hermann Löns Münster, Masovia restituted the WJSC in 1956. Masovia chaired both the first association conference after the Second World War in Hanover in 1956 and the first association conference in Wernigerode in 1990.

particularities

The Masovia Hunting Corps in Berlin cultivates both student and hunting customs . The focus is on the organization of hunting courses , advanced training events, hunter evenings and hunting shooting . High demands are made on the members in terms of hunting justice and closeness to nature. That is why it expects them to see themselves as caretakers of the forest , game and nature and to actively support it. The hunting corps is non-denominational and politically independent.

Masovia is the traditional bearer of the Saxo-Silesia hunting corps in Dresden. Therefore, as an outward sign that carry Chargierten of Masovia the bond of Saxo-Silesia as a traditional band. Masovia also provides a traditional man at association events. Until 1945 Masovia did not charge with clubs, but with Prussian deer hunters . Only after their loss, when Berlin was conquered by the Red Army, were the bell strikers used in Berlin.

Known members

The list is sorted chronologically by year of birth.

By merging Masovia with Hubertia Halle and Saxo-Silesia Dresden, their members became Masuria.
