The old Münstersche Landsmannschaft in CC RHENANIA from 1850 is a student association at the Westphalian Wilhelms University in Münster .

The connection

Rhenania is obligatory , colored and was founded on November 6th, 1850 by eleven Rhinelander at the then academy in Münster as an academic association Rhenania. This makes the Landsmannschaft Rhenania the oldest obligatory student association based in Münster .

Rhenania is neither a political nor a denominational student association and a member of the Coburg Convent (CC).

history

On November 6, 1850, eleven Rhinelander founded the academic association Rhenania at what was then the academy in Münster. Its members emphasized the exclusively academic character of their association and obtained satisfaction with the naked weapon. The founding site of Rhenania is the Wienburg .

The first decades of Rhenania were characterized by a liberal attitude in the midst of an emphatically Catholic environment, which ultimately turned it into a weapons student corporation, not entirely without difficulty with the large proportion of Catholic members.

1879 Rhenania fought the first Bestimmungsmensur , lay down in 1881, the name Land team to and sought connection to the Coburg LC. On May 15, 1883, Rhenania was received by the Coburg LC and already led the Whitsun Congress in Coburg in 1886.

The association crisis at the turn of the century also left its mark on Rhenania. When Münster became a full university in 1902, it left the Coburg LC with a large majority. A minority remained loyal to the association and from then on called themselves Landsmannschaft Borussia. This merged in 1911 with the previous VC gymnastics club Teutonia. The majority found connection to the VC in 1908 through merging with a recently founded gymnastics association Alemania and was now called gymnastics association Rhenania.

After the First World War, Borussia was able to reopen on its own, while Rhenania opened again with the help of the Germania-Bonn gymnastics association. Both branches of the old LC country team now developed positively. The differences that arose from the split were softened, the activities fought against each other, became friends and decided in 1934 to reunite with the AH associations (Rhenania and Borussia).

On November 10, 1934, Rhenania opened the new semester under the official name Alte Münstersche Landsmannschaft in the DL of 1850. After a brief heyday, it had to be suspended in 1936 under pressure from the Nazi regime. It was possible, with the help of former activists, to establish a comradeship Wienburg, but it went down without a hitch in the course of the Second World War.

But as early as 1945 the AHV rallied again and managed to gain a new activity in the SS 1949. In March 1951 there was the first fight again.

Since then, Rhenania has provided boys for the re-establishment of the Markomanno-Teutonia and Frisia-Albertina gymnastics associations as well as the Sorabia country team and has supported other association corporations.
