history

From the foundation to the First World War

On February 2, 1895, the Catholic Academic Association Germania was founded by the seven geodesy students Georg Dybowski, Eduard Hartung, Heinrich Schlumpp, Joseph Ustarbowski and Christoph and Wilhelm Waldmann at the Agricultural University in Berlin . In June 1896, Germania, together with the Catholic student associations Makaria Berlin and Saxo-Silesia Hanover, founded the Cartell of Catholic Associations at Agricultural Universities (1. CKV), which the Bonn association Alsatia (later Ascania Bonn ) joined a little later . In 1900 Germania left this cartel again. A cartel founded on July 5, 1902 between Germania and Ascania was joined by the Carolingia Hohenheim association in 1911, which revived the cartel of Catholic associations (2. CKV). 66 Germanic tribes took part in the First World War, nineteen of them died.

Between the world wars

On February 25, 1920, Germania resigned from the 2nd CKV and was accepted into the Cartell Association of Catholic German Student Associations (CV) at the 51st Cartel Assembly in 1920 in Regensburg as the 86th association with full rights . In the winter term 1925/26 took three of Active Borusso Saxonia, including the future long-time CEO of MAN , Ulrich Neumann , batches in Germania. For this they received the Germanic ribbon for life. In 1924/25 and 1930/31 Germania was the presiding association in the Berlin CV. In 1927 Germania took over the sponsorship for the KDStV Elbmark Tetschen-Liebwerd. Since December 1927, Germania had also been registered as a connection at the Technical University of Charlottenburg, after its own faculty for geodesy had been established there. Germania was the only Berlin CV association that voted against the motion in May 1933 to trust the then suburb of Aenania Munich, which was more cautious about National Socialism. After the dissolution of the Cartell Association in October 1935, Germania decided on November 2, 1935 to terminate the active liaison operation retroactively to October 27, 1935. The old gentlemen's association was banned on June 20, 1938. Nineteen Germanic tribes were killed in World War II.

Engelbert Dollfuss at Germania

In 1920 Engelbert Dollfuss , who later became Austrian Federal Chancellor, came to Berlin to study agriculture and cooperatives. Dollfuss, the original member of Franco-Bavaria Vienna, became active at Germania in the winter semester of 1920/21 on the recommendation of the Franco-Bavaria liaison pastor, Prof. Nivard Schlögel, and received the ribbon for life after four semesters. He felt very much at home with Germania and was considered in the Berlin CV as a "brilliant speaker" and "personality of unheard of vitality". He is also said to have been fox major of Germania. During his stay in Berlin, he lived with an old man from Germania. Germania Berlin was the only Reich German connection to which Dollfuss belonged. Through Germania, Dollfuss also came into contact with the religious social work of Carl Sonnenschein , which is also aimed at students and academics ; Dollfuss also got involved there. Dollfuss himself described his time in Berlin as "very valuable".

On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the assassination of Engelbert Dollfuss and in memory of his membership in Germania, the KDStV Borusso-Saxonia Berlin hosted a contemporary history conference in 1984 on the subject of "The Austrian corporate state - Engelbert Dollfuss between socialism and national socialism" with almost 80 participants from Austria and the Federal Republic of Germany. Prominent speakers included the former Austrian Trade Minister and Vice Chancellor Fritz Bock, the political scientist Gottfried-Karl Kindermann and the theologian and church historian Maximilian Liebmann .

post war period

On February 2, 1948, the old gentlemen's association of Germania was reconstituted in Münster with 75 members. Since plans to re-establish Aktivitas remained unsuccessful, the old gentlemen's association decided on June 3, 1950 to join Borusso-Saxonia. On July 7, 1950, a corresponding contract was concluded between the two connections. After that, Germania should be re-established as soon as Borusso-Saxonia was strong enough to establish another connection. That never happened. A re-establishment of Germania in Heidelberg in 1953 by a few students lasted only a few semesters without consulting Borusso-Saxonia and the Cartell Association. Plans for the reconstitution of Germania in 1968/69 in Dortmund and 1970 in Düsseldorf were also not implemented. In 1983, Duisburg students tried to re-establish their university, but the responsible bodies of Borusso-Saxonia and also the still living members of Germania spoke out against reconstitution outside Berlin. In 2010 the last old man of Germania died. Active and Philistine seniors from Borusso-Saxonia wear their band in memory of Germania. On special occasions, Borusso-Saxonia charges in the Vollwichs of Germania.

coat of arms

The coat of arms of Germania consists of a four-part escutcheon. In the upper part there is a golden cloverleaf cross on the left and a red-armored eagle with a heart shield in the imperial colors black-white-red on the right. In the lower part there is an owl on a green branch on the left and two loyal hands in a green wreath in the connecting colors on the right, above the date of foundation "2.II.95" and a lyre.

Circle

The Germania circle contains the classic elements of the hallmark of a student union. The letter G abbreviates the connection name, the letters V, F, C stand - depending on the reading - for "vivat, crescat, floreat" (live, grow, bloom) or "vivant fratres coniuncti" (Long live the connected brothers.) .
