The Thuringia Catholic Student Association in the KV zu Marburg is a student association founded on May 11, 1881 , which is organized in the Cartel Association of Catholic German Student Associations. The connection leads the colors red-white-red and is located in the university town of Marburg .
It brings together students and alumni of the Philipps University of Marburg . The principles of Thuringia are Religio , Scientia and Amicitia . As a denominational corporation, Thuringia is apolitical and fundamentally rejects any kind of radicalism .
Color
The name of the connection was chosen based on the holy Elisabeth of Thuringia . Thuringia carries the colors red-white-red, whereby red-white stands for the state of Hesse and white-red for the state of Thuringia . The wank of the connection consists of black pekeschen with red-white-red cording, for which a black beret is worn. The Latin motto of Thuringia is "Pro Deo et Patria", which translates as "For God and Fatherland".
coat of arms
The student coat of arms of Thuringia symbolizes the principles and the origin of the connection:
- Above right: The Elisabeth Church , as a symbol for the Religio principle .
- Top left: The owl with two torches illustrates the Scientia principle .
- Bottom right: The two drinking horns, as a symbol of the Amicitia principle
- Bottom left: The Thuringian lion , as a sign of the origin of the name.
The coat of arms is quartered by a cross of the Teutonic Order , as this initiated the canonization of Elisabeth of Thuringia, the namesake of the association. In the middle of the coat of arms the circle of Thuringia is depicted.
history
From the foundation to the First World War
On May 11, 1881, eleven members of various cartel associations met in the old brewery in Marburg with the aim of founding a Catholic student union. The rector of the University of Marburg approved this connection on May 31, 1881. On August 9 of the same year, the General Assembly of the KV accepted Thuringia as the 20th member in its midst. Since there were only a few Catholic connections in Marburg, it flourished very quickly and at the turn of the century was considered to be the largest of all Marburg connections . The academic culture war that soon followed hardly affected Thuringia.
The members organized scientific evenings, pubs , excursions and attended church services together. So they lived the three principles of Thuringia: religion, science and friendship. The linchpin of the fraternal life at that time was the “Schloßgarten” restaurant in the upper town of Marburg. The construction of his own house was not yet successful despite the purchase of a piece of land.
Between the world wars
The First World War ended the life of communion in its usual form. While in the first two years a limited amount of active activities was still possible, life in the Thuringian House ebbed in a row, as almost all young members were called up. But the post-war years brought a rapid increase in the number of students in Marburg and thus led to a strengthening of the local connections. As a reaction to the conditions in the Weimar Republic , members of the Thuringia 1920 participated in the clearing up of the unrest in Thuringia as part of the Marburg student corps , but were not involved in any major fighting.
In 1920 the corporation succeeded in purchasing the "Schloßgarten" in the upper town of Marburg. This action, sponsored by the old gentlemen of Morsey-Picard and Tenbaum, gave the association its own house. The following years were marked by the upswing, as well as by the university political fight against the National Socialists in the student body. After the 50-year foundation festival was celebrated on a large scale in 1931, things went downhill after Hitler came to power . As a Catholic corporation, Thuringia was not compatible with the ideals of the Nazi state . After she had already been forced to quarter fellowships in her house, the denominational principle was lifted in 1935. As a result of the increasing repression, the Thuringia decided to dissolve it on May 18, 1936.
Re-establishment and resurgence
The re-establishment of the alliance proved difficult after the war . The American occupation forces refused to reactivate old connections. As a result, the members became involved in the Catholic university community and otherwise met in secret. After the regulations of the Americans were relaxed, the connection was re-established in early 1949. However, Thuringia was again without its own house because it had to be sold during the war. Rooms on the AMV Fridericiana Marburg house were repeatedly rented. After a large fundraising campaign, the house at Hainweg 2 was purchased, where Thuringia still resides today.
Another turning point in the history of Thuringia was the 1968 movement . Principles and traditions were questioned by the students, as everywhere in Germany. As with many other compounds, this development almost marked the end for Thuringia. The bars and Kommersen were replaced by discussion evenings, and the Vollwichs was abolished. Nevertheless, the Thuringia managed to close the rifts between the old rulers and Aktivitas again. After a return to its own history as a student, the number of members grew again.
