history

Foundation and the Bonn Union (1844-1857)

Bavaria Bonn was founded as the first Catholic student union at German universities on November 15, 1844 by five theologians. In the first few years after it was founded, Bavaria led a rather hidden existence. As early as 1847, however, when the Bavarians now had 46 members, a discussion began as to whether the Bavaria should develop into an academic connection and also wear colors. Based on this discussion, a well-attended meeting of Catholic students was held on June 14, 1847, at which they could be convinced of the need to appear in colors. Then the colored student associations were formed: Burgundia, Normania, Ruhrania, Salia and Thuringia. These six connections formed the Bonn Union, which had given itself the motto "truth in knowledge and life". The Bavarians chose the colors dark blue-white-light blue and a union ribbon (red-white-red) was worn as a sign of togetherness. In 1848 the first statutes were drawn up and the first foundation festival was celebrated. The Bonn Union dissolved again in 1853 as a result of disputes. Then Bavaria joined the DC (Delegate Convent), which consisted of the fraternities of Teutonia, Allemannia, Franconia and Münsterania. In the winter of 1857, due to the lack of members, the still young Bavaria had to be suspended for the first time.

Second period of Bavaria (1861–1873)

As early as 1861, Bavaria was re-established by high school students from Cologne, whereby there was a lively exchange with the Bavarian Philistines and the flag and couleur items were also handed over to the newly won active. At that time the higher spiritual authority in Cologne was so benevolent towards the Catholic corporations that it raised no objection to the membership of theologians in Bavaria. Since the second foundation was made by a circle of friends, students who lacked conviction for the Catholic cause were also accepted into the Bavaria and "Bavaria 1861-62 represented more of a beer-loving society of friendship than a Catholic cooperative". As a reaction to this, the new statutes were adopted in the winter semester of 1863/64 with the "first and all-pervasive dominant principle they established the Catholic, public creed and thus ennobled the principles of friendship, morality and science". Because of the similarity between Bavaria and Aenania Munich (founding association of the CV ), it was decided on June 22nd, 1863 to contact Aenania for the conclusion of a cartel relationship.

The request for a Cartel relationship with Aenania Munich was rejected and when they moved to the University of Bonn, the two Aenans Lossen and Kayser did not join Bavaria, although the reasons for this are still controversial between Arminen and Bavaren. In the previous semester, Lossen, as a senior at Aenania , had rejected Bavaria's request for a cartel between the two corporations in June 1863. In February 1864, however, Losens' interim founding Arminia Bonn closed a cartel with Aenania Munich. As a result of these events, Arminia and Bavaria entered into a competitive relationship, which subsequently (1865/66) was also to be decisive for the split of the Catholic corporations into KV and CV . Because of internal disputes in Aktivitas, the Bavaria had to be suspended a second time in 1867.

Third period of Bavaria (since 1872)

The third period of Bavaria began when the future pastor and Alsate Wilhelm Herchenbach moved from Münster to Bonn and there in the winter semester 1872/73 began to reconstruct the Bavaria.

Bavaria in the Nazi state

After the National Socialists came to power , the association sent a telegram of allegiance to President Hindenburg and Chancellor Hitler with the wording:

"Bavaria Bonn, the oldest association of Catholic German students, offers [...] respectful greetings to the People's Chancellor of the United Germany and praises loyal cooperation in the national people's state."

In the case of the Bavarians in Bonn, limited active operations could still be maintained for a certain time, so receptions (recordings of new members) can be proven up to 1938. In the Second World War 45 of the then 475 members died.

Alignment

Bavaria represents the principles of the Cartell Association and is non-binding .

Bavaria in the White Ring

From 1912 the Bavaria belonged to the so-called White Ring . At the Cartel Assembly in 1912, the cartel fraternal "you" was made mandatory for all members of the Cartel Association. This did not meet with unanimous approval, because it was customary at the time to address members of associations of other associations as “you”. Since the Cartell Association had grown from only 26 associations to over 80 since the turn of the century, after the singularity principle had been abandoned, the question arose in some associations whether it would be advantageous to use names on completely unknown Cartell brothers. Since a rejection of the Duz-Comment would have resulted in the exclusion of the connections in question, the members of the White Ring decided to refer to outside Cartell brothers as “you”. The White Ring was a color student interest group within the Cartell Association, which officially existed from 1912 to 1923. Member connections were the Bavaria Bonn, the Burgundia Munich, the Ripuaria Freiburg im Breisgau and the Zollern Münster. Furthermore, there were other sympathetic connections, such as the Guestfalia Tübingen , the Thuringia Würzburg , the Rheno-Palatia Breslau, the Rheno-Franconia Munich and the Marco-Danubia Vienna . An external distinguishing feature was the wearing of a white carnation. At the Cartel Assembly in 1923, members of the White Ring were officially banned from the Siez Comment.

Identifying features

The first coat of arms of the KDStV Bavaria Bonn

The connection carries the colors dark blue-white-light blue as well as the fox colors dark blue-white . A dark blue striker is worn as the head color .

The first motto of Bavaria was "Promotion of truth in knowledge and life!". Bavaria's second motto is “IN FIDE FIRMITAS”.

Circle of the KDStV Bavaria Bonn

The Bavarenzirkel is a couleur student monogram of four letters, V, C, F, B, and an exclamation mark . These letters stand for VIVAT CRESCAT FLOREATQUE BAVARIA (Bavaria live, grow and prosper). Another interpretation is VIVAT CIRCULUS FRATRUM BAVARIAE (Long live the circle of the brothers of Bavaria).

The members of Bavaria Bonn are called Bonner Bayern.

Marburg district

Bavaria Bonn is a member of the Marburger Kreis, a community of interests of the oldest connections within the Cartell Association (CV). While the Marburger Kreis initially (from 1986 ) came together to support the then weakly staffed VKDSt Rhenania Marburg, nowadays the common endeavor is in the foreground to counteract the decline of couleur student mores and to strengthen the catholicity principle within the CV.

The Marburger Kreis consists of the following member associations:

The Marburger Kreis organizes a circular ring event every winter semester.
