history

Founding time

The KDStV Ripuaria is an academic community at the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms University of Bonn. It was founded on April 22nd, 1863 by seven theology students in Bonn-Kessenich as a homiletic theological association and was deeply rooted in the tradition of the Catholic Rhineland from the beginning. Initially, Ripuaria was reserved for theology students only. In the course of the reopening of the Archbishop's Konvikt Collegium Albertinum , Ripuaria was transformed into a Catholic student association, giving students from all faculties the opportunity to join Ripuaria. The Rhenish boy colors blue-white-red and the fox colors white-blue-white were requested from the university management under the name Rhenania. Thus all insignia applied for were the same as those of the older, but at that time suspended, Kösener Corps Rhenania Bonn . A stone tablet in the foyer of the Rhenanenhaus in Bonn is evidence of this. The university management therefore made it a requirement to choose a different name. Hence the name Ripuaria Bonn from then on.

Therefore, the Ripuaria founded the Association of Catholic Student Associations (VKSt) with the KDStV Gothia Würzburg , to which, among other things, their subsidiary associations Arminia Münster and Burgundia Munich belonged.

In 1905 Ripuaria joined the Cartell Association (CV) and had to give the ribbon colors a white advance, as they collided with the colors of the VKDSt Rhenania Marburg . The Bonner Ripuarenband has a silver percussion.

Nazi era and re-establishment

Many members died in the Second World War , but Ripuaria was able to resume life in 1947. Today's Ripuarenhaus, a manorial private house built around 1880, was acquired in 1957 and is located on Meckenheimer Allee in Bonn-Poppelsdorf.

Modern times

Not least because of the firm Catholic conviction, Ripuaria was able to win the then last survivor of the Hitler attack of July 20, 1944 , Philipp Freiherr von Boeselager , as an honorary member. At the festivities of the 140th foundation festival of the Ripuaria Bonn in the Kursaal of Bad Honnef, Philipp Freiherr von Boeselager gave a moving lecture about the events of that time, his experiences and his acquaintance with the greats of the German resistance such as B. Henning v. Tresckow and Claus Graf Schenk v. Stauffenberg . He described how, as commander of a cavalry squadron, he hurried from the Eastern Front towards Berlin at the risk of his life to support Stauffenberg and how his Missal Romanum fell from his saddle during the ride and hit a place that he kept to himself from but which he said that afterwards he fearlessly continued his ride. The further content of this lecture and further memories have been published in addition to some interviews with the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung , in two books and as an audio book on CD. He also wrote the quote: “The survivors of a tragedy are never its heroes!” He died in 2008 at the family residence in Burg Heimerzheim near Bonn. At his funeral in St. Laurentius Ahrweiler , Federal Defense Minister Franz Josef Jung gave the funeral speech in the presence of the Bundeswehr Guard of Honor and the Chargierten Ripuariae. The speech at the 150th Foundation Festival of the Ripuaria Bonn was given by Armin Laschet ( KDStV Aenania Munich in the CV), who was awarded the Bonner Ripuaren-Band in 2014.
