history

On November 28, 1871, the "Academic Society Gemütlichkeit" opened up as a student association with the principle of unconditional satisfaction . The new German imperial colors black-white-red were adopted. The motto is since the establishment of "comfort": One for all - all for one!

On November 15, 1893, the connection declared itself to be the freeing connection Germania . From then on, the colors were worn in public. The association with the Corps was declared through the resolutions of the Old Men’s Convent (AHC) of November 3, 1903. This joined the Weinheim Senior Citizens' Convention (WSC) on July 15, 1922 .

The former senior executive of the Corps Germania, economist John C. Funch , applied to the academy management on January 2, 1904 that the academy should be renamed the College of Agriculture . Funch also applied for the university's right to award doctorates in 1918. Both applications were approved by King Wilhelm II of Württemberg , the name was changed on February 24, 1904, and the right to award doctorates on November 4, 1918.

The efforts of the Corps Germania to create a broad basis for the corps student ideas at the Hohenheim Agricultural University led to the founding of the Corps Suevia Hohenheim on August 25, 1912. Based on the Heidelberg Swabians , the colors black, white and yellow became yellow Hat chosen. Fox colors were first white and yellow, later black and yellow. The motto was: The heart of the friend, the forehead of the enemy!

The decreasing number of students in Hohenheim at the end of the 1920s (from 1000 to 700; a large proportion of them were guest students without a high school diploma) considerably worsened the survivability of the then existing connections (14 corporations). The Convent of the Corps Suevia also decided on October 28, 1930 the dissolution (suspension) of the active corps operations and the transfer of the old rulers to the mother corps Germania.

On October 27, 1935, due to the political decisions of the National Socialist rule , the active corps of the Hohenheim Germanic tribes had to be stopped. The Germanenhaus was expropriated and used by the student comradeship Florian Geyer until the end of the war .

On the occasion of the re-establishment of the DLG ( German Agricultural Society ) in Hohenheim on September 18, 1947, the Association of Alter Hohenheim Germanic peoples was brought back to life.

The Academic Association Der Zirkel , founded in December 1946, took over the tradition of the Corps Germania as an Academic Student Association Germania . From then on, the active internally wore the black, white and yellow colors of the Corps Suevia, which was suspended in 1930. The members of the Corps Suevia were taken over by the Corps Germania after their suspension in accordance with the founding provisions.

When it joined the Weinheimer Corpsstudentischen Arbeitsgemeinschaft (WCA) on April 20, 1951, the Germania student union officially called itself Corps again. According to the resolution of the Solemn Corps-Conventes (FCC) of July 5, 1952, the old founding colors of 1871 have been adopted again for all corps members and the members of the Corps Suevia have been declared to be double-band people. To this day, the charged (those responsible for the active corps) and the fox major wear the traditional Suevia ribbon in addition to the Germanic ribbon, which makes it much easier to identify them at events of the corps.

An introductory relationship has been maintained with the Corps Alemannia Karlsruhe since 2015 . A close friendship has been cultivated with the Corps Donaria Freising for 50 years; there is no official relationship.

Corp house

The corp house was planned and built in 1908 and 1909 by the Stuttgart architect Ludwig Eisenlohr . Eisenlohr and his partners have realized over 100 objects, especially in the Stuttgart area, including a. the Schiller National Museum in Marbach. Eisenlohr also took part in the invitation to tender for the Reichstag in Berlin with a draft. For the house construction he chose a mixture of austerity, classical elements and elements of Art Nouveau. In an exhibition on the architecture of connecting houses in 1908 it was shown that at that time there was a transition from historicizing construction to an architecture of modern lightness. The Germanenhaus allows this to be understood. In the building application there was talk of a “community house” with a relatively limited living area. This is how it was and has been used ever since.
