history

The KDStV Burgundia (Leipzig) zu Düsseldorf was founded as the Catholic student union Burgundia Leipzig on November 19, 1879 in Leipzig. She was the successor to Alamannia Leipzig, founded by Felix Porsch in 1872 , which was dissolved by the university authorities for promoting Catholicism. The colors envisaged will be a combination of the Alamannia's founding links.

In 1880 Burgundia was admitted to the Cartell Association. The fraternity members are called Burgundians. Burgundia bears the number 10 in the association's internal order of the Cartel connections. The official abbreviation is BuL. For the Corpus Christi procession in 1881, ribbon was worn in public for the first time. As the only Catholic student union in Protestant Saxony, it suffered from the consequences of the Kulturkampf . In 1909 the 500th anniversary of the University of Leipzig took place. Burgundia took part in all of the official celebrations, including the parade, during which the delegates presented the colors of the connection on horseback. On September 2, 1912, the first Burgundy Circle was founded in Cologne. The circle in Essen followed a week later.

The winter semester 1913/14 begins with the inauguration of the Völkerschlachtdenkmal . 80 flags of the Cartell Association are involved in the parade on October 18th. The festive church service on the following Sunday is also attended by the Saxon royal family and ends with a procession to the victory monument. After the summer semester of 1915, 14-day pub conventions were held during the First World War: field post was read out and news from the Burgundy was sent to the field. 17 Burgundy fall.

Despite the diaspora and cultural struggle, Burgundia managed to grow steadily and so in 1920 the KDStV Saxo-Thuringia (Dresden, Aachen) in Bochum emerged as a subsidiary and in 1923 the KDStV Bergland (Freiberg) Aachen emerged as a grandchild.

During the Second World War, the Burgundians still meet in their private apartments as far as possible. On November 9, 1935, the connection broke up to prevent the Nazis from being brought into line. Old Mr. Reindel takes the compound property into custody and hides it from the National Socialists in the rooms of his consulate. He was an Estonian consul. In 1938 the old gentlemen's association was forcibly dissolved.

On December 4, 1943, during the great terrorist attack on Leipzig, the Anglo-American Air Force destroyed all of the compound property and went up in flames. After the end of the war, some Burgundians were imprisoned in camps by the Soviets and soon died of the consequences.

Since many federal brothers came from the Rhineland and a re-establishment in the Soviet-occupied zone was impossible, the connection was re-established on April 20, 1949 at the Medical Academy Düsseldorf , the predecessor of the Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf . During the re-establishment convention, there was a phone call from Leipzig. The Leipzig Burgundy Philistines protested against the re-establishment of Burgundia in the west. The newly elected Philistine senior assured that he would return to Leipzig if the economic and political possibilities were there. The connection is named "Catholic German Student Union Burgundia Leipzig to Düsseldorf". It became the point of contact for many Cartell brothers who had been expelled from their homeland, including his Excellency Carl Maria Splett , who as Bishop of Danzig could no longer continue his office there after the end of the Second World War.

In contrast to the time in Leipzig, when lawyers and economists dominated the image of activitas , until the 1990s the connection almost exclusively accepted students from the medical faculty. For this reason there are many professors and chief physicians at the Heinrich Heine University in Düsseldorf and in the clinics in the Burgundy area.

In the 1990 summer semester, the Cumulative Convention decided unanimously to stay in Düsseldorf and not to return to Leipzig.

In 2001/2002 the connection provided the suburb (board of directors) of the general association.

Goals and principles

Burgundia is based on the principles of the Cartell Association : religio, scientia, amicitia and patria. She wants to establish a lifelong friendship, which is borne by her couleur student traditions and comment. Burgundia is non-striking, so it rejects the scale length . The purpose of the association is to promote the formation of opinions of its members in the religious, social, scientific, political and university-political area, in compliance with the statutes of the Cartell Association.

  • Religio means the commitment to the Catholic faith as a living foundation stone of the connection as well as the willingness to shape one's own life from it and to face the challenges of the time.
  • Scientia requires striving for a successful degree and dealing with university policy issues. Lectures and discussions offer the opportunity to broaden your own horizons beyond the faculty.
  • Amicitia includes the promotion of true friendship that extends beyond the student's time and one's own generation and mutual education to become socially responsible, self-confident personalities.
  • Patria demands the advocacy of justice, freedom and democracy, supported by the claim to a love for our fatherland based on social responsibility in a unifying spirit in a Europe that is growing together.

Color and motto

The connection is orange-white-blue, with silver percussion. The fox colors are orange-white-orange. The head color is an orange flat cap. Burgundia's motto is "per aspera at astra!", Which means "Through the rough to the stars!" is translated.

coat of arms

The coat of arms of Burgundia is divided into four by a cross. In the first field there are the connecting colors orange-white-blue, including the city arms of the city of Leipzig. The remaining fields with the connecting colors contain the symbols of friendship, science and loyalty.

The semicircular shield carries the compass. The helmet above the coat of arms contains three ostrich feathers in the connecting colors as a helmet ornament.
