The Catholic South German Student Union (KSStV) Alemannia zu Munich in the Cartel Association of Catholic German Student Associations (KV) is a non-striking , colorful Catholic student union . The principles of connection are religion (religio), friendship (amicitia), science (scientia) as well as the principle of life covenant . It unites students and former students of the Ludwig Maximilians University, the Technical University of Munich and the University of the Federal Armed Forces Munich as well as the numerous Munich universities. Its members are called Munich Alemanni.

Color

Zipfbund and barrel of an Alemanni

The colors of the Alemannia are blue-white-black, but as a color-leading connection they are not worn by the members. Since the SKV was founded, the Munich Alemanni have worn a barrel as the back of the head , with a blue or black lid and silver circular embroidery. Recently, the black lid has become increasingly popular. Since in the SKV-KV merger agreement of 1920 the parties to the contract were granted their respective peculiarities, wearing the barrel is accepted by the cartel association.

history

On January 11, 1876, Alemannia's parent company KStV Normannia was founded in Würzburg. On November 27, 1881, three Normans studying in Munich and eight people from the Palatinate founded the “Normannia” student association. The colors were blue-white-red and the motto was “fides, scientia, amicitia”. In January 1882 the name was first changed in Rhenania to avoid being confused with a “Corps Normannia”. The final name Alemannia was adopted on June 3, 1883 to avoid the impression of a purely Palatinate connection. Also in 1881, the two connections from Würzburg and Munich formed the Cartel Association of Catholic South German Student Associations (SKV).

The Philistine Association was founded for the tenth foundation festival. In 1899 they gave themselves the new motto "in unitate robur!", Which is still in use today. Shortly before the First World War , the Aktivitas of Alemannia, with over 100 members, was so large that it was divided and a first subsidiary was established with the KStV Karolingia . When the First World War broke out, regular active operations were no longer possible; in 1915 the club had to be given up until 1919. After the reopening, a house builder association was founded because people no longer wanted to move from bar to bar. On April 1, 1920, the merger agreement of the Cartel Association of Catholic South German Student Associations (SKV) with the Cartel Association of Catholic German Student Associations (KV) of December 18, 1919, Alemannia became a KV association. Alemannia was the presiding association (suburb) of the KV three times, in 1952/53, 1986/87 and 1992/93. In 1927 the current connection house in Kaulbachstrasse was acquired.

In the winter semester of 1932/33, the National Socialist groups rejected the addition "Membership in a party is prohibited as long as its ideological attitude is declared by the higher church authorities to be incompatible with the Catholic Church". In 1935, by order of the state, all student associations were dissolved and a year later Alemannia also decided to suspend operations, but deliberately did not break up. In 1938 Alemannia lost her house and a year later the assets of the Philistine Association were confiscated as “assets hostile to the people and the state”.

After the re-establishment of the Philistine Association in 1946, active operations could be resumed with 23 new members in the winter semester 1948/49. Relationship life flourished again until the 1960s and reached a peak in 1968 with 120 active members.

In 2001 the group “Catholic Corporations Munich” was founded on the initiative of the Philistine Senior. In the KKM, all KV and CV connections in Munich, as well as KBStV Rhaetia Munich are organized as a guest, thus covering around 40% of the corporates in Munich. With 22 connections, they are the largest local association of student connections in German-speaking countries, ahead of the Vienna ÖCV (21 connections) and the Munich Seniors Convent (17 Corps).

Cartel Association of Catholic South German Student Associations (SKV)

In the founding year of 1881, Normannia and Alemannia (then also Normannia) fixed their relationship and formed the Cartel Association of South German Student Associations . The acceptance of the Rhaetia Munich failed because of their desire to wear colors. In addition to the two founding federations, their subsidiary associations, the KStV Germania Freiburg (joined in 1897), the KStV Ripuaria Heidelberg (1899), the KStV Rheno-Frankonia Strasbourg (1910) and the KStV Karolingia (1912), joined the SKV. At the beginning of the war in 1914, the SKV had around 1500 members in 6 associations, including 450 Alemanni. On April 1, 1920, the merger agreement between SKV and KV was ratified by the Philistine associations. Above all, Germania and Ripuaria pushed for the merger because they did not have enough offspring from Bavaria and also wanted to take in North German students. According to the contract, the connections have retained all their rights, so Alemannia is allowed to wear the barrel and, like Normannia Würzburg, is on an equal footing with the other KV founding associations, and the merger was carried out while maintaining the southern German character.

Fraternity house

Alemannic House

The connecting house at Kaulbachstrasse 20 dates from the middle of the 18th century and was built for the Cornelius family. Initially for Peter von Cornelius , later his nephew Peter Cornelius lived in the house . In 1927 Alemannia bought the house from Prof. Dr. Hans Cornelius, professor of philosophy at the University of Frankfurt and began with a two-year conversion of the house into a fraternity house. A hall and a tavern were built on the ground floor, a pub room and a bowling alley in the basement and a fax apartment on the second floor. In 1929 the Archbishop of Munich, Cardinal Ritter von Faulhaber , consecrated the house as part of the 48th Foundation Festival. On this occasion, the Munich Philistines donated today's magnificent coat of arms. In the same year, the current Alemannenhütte in Lenggries was rented for the first time.

On special instructions from SS leader Heinrich Himmler , who, curiously, was an old man at PC Apollo in the neighboring house, all student associations were banned and expropriated. The house was no longer allowed to enter from July 1938, but some members managed to get into the house at night and secure couleur (including founding flag and coat of arms) and the member lists. The new host was the Nazi comradeship "Feldherrnhalle".

It was not until 1949 that the Philistine Association got the Alemanni house back as property and began two years of renovation work to repair the war damage caused by a bombing hit in 1944. After completing the work, Cardinal Ritter von Faulhaber consecrated the house a second time in 1951. Since the Alemanni House was one of the few Catholic fraternity houses in Munich that was not completely destroyed during the war, it was a home for numerous corporations at times. For example, Franz Joseph Strauss was accepted as a lad at a KDStV Tuiskonia bar in the Alemannenkeller.

In the 1990s it was renovated and rebuilt again, the hall was given its own entrance and toilets. After the last fax had moved out, his old apartment was converted into additional student rooms. The new bar, the longest connecting bar in Munich, was installed in the bar room.
