The Landsmannschaft Guilelmia was a Berlin student union that was founded on May 26, 1881. The country team was dutiful and colored (green-red-gold). Its members were called Wilhelmer . Today the tradition of the Guilelmia lives on in the academic Landsmannschaft Brandenburg in the Coburg Convent .

history

Royal Wilhelms-Gymnasium in Berlin, 1866

Graduates of the Royal Wilhelms-Gymnasium donated the Guilelmia in 1881 under the oak tree in the park of the Sacrow Palace in Potsdam . For a long time it was recruited from high school graduates from this institution. From the beginning it was a colored and compulsory connection with the Matura principle . The motto was United and Strong! and Nec soli cedit! . In the second semester of its existence, one of its members was elected to the committee of the Berlin student body , in which she was independently represented until she joined the German Landsmannschaft . In August 1885 Guilelmia was received at the Coburg Landsmannschafter Convent . At the end of 1886, Guilelmia took over some active and old men from the suspended Berlin Landsmannschaft Cimbria , which was donated by inactive Tübingen Scots . In February 1897, Guilelmia was banned by the university authorities until June 2 of that year, following a complaint from an expelled member. Meanwhile, she existed as the country team Guestfalia with reversed colors. After the Whitsun Congress of the Coburg LC in 1897, Guilelmia declared her resignation from this association, but rejoined in 1898. In the First World War , 138 Wilhelmer were in the field, 26 of whom were killed. At Christmas 1925 the Landsmannschaft moved into its own fraternity house in Berlin-Schöneberg . In the winter semester 1930/1931 it had 135 old men and 81 active members. Finally, the active compound was suspended in March 1933.

After the Second World War , the old gentlemen of the Guilelmia and those of the Landsmannschaft Ascania-Brandenburgia met and decided to reopen the active business in Berlin. Subsequently, in June 1951, the two corporations merged to form Landsmannschaft Brandenburg in the CC .
