history

founding

On April 29, 1865, a group of friends, consisting mainly of members of what was then the Stuttgart Polytechnic, founded the “Society Bardia”. As early as October 17, 1865, the society was converted into a student association and accordingly the decision was made to only accept members of the Polytechnic. In order to document her claim to being a liaison student, she agreed on couleur in the colors blue-white-red, the motto “One heart - one sense - one soul”, a coat of arms and the corporation circle.

On February 13, 1867, the association adopted the name Saxonia and the principle of conditional satisfaction, acquired its own weapons and decided to wear its colors in public from now on.

After the Franco-German War , the Saxons had relationships with the Karlsruhe Landsmannschaften Baltica and Frisia. An agreement was reached on January 18, 1871, on the same day the German Reich was founded, to accept the relationship and the principles of a country team with absolute satisfaction.

In the summer semester of 1871 the Landsmannschaft Saxonia with the three WSC-Corps, the Burschenschaft Alemannia , and the free association Ghibellinia founded a Stuttgart Paukverband.

First political-technical compatriot association (Wetzlarer ALSC)

In the same semester, she encouraged the two Landsmannschafter Senioren-Conventen (LSC) in Karlsruhe and Hanover to merge to form an association. The Wetzlarer Allgemeine Landsmannschaften-Seniors-Convent (Wetzlarer ALSC) was then founded on March 29 and 30, 1872 , to which Saxonia was able to add the Ghibellinia Stuttgart as a further member, to which, in addition to the above-mentioned country teams, also the country team Teutonia-Aachen was approved as a "country team on trial".

From 1875 to 1883, Saxonia had a friendship and crap relationship with the Alemannia fraternity, which was held in high esteem at the Stuttgart Technical University under the name of the Community Burschenkonvent (GBC).

After disputes caused the Wetzlar ASLC to be dissolved in 1875 and the postponed country teams Frisia, Rhenania and Baltica had resumed active operations, Saxonia attempted to renew the Wetzlar ALSC in the summer semester of 1879. But it didn't come to that because the foreign country teams couldn't hold out.

After the GBC with the Alemannia fraternity came to an end in 1883 as a result of disputes, Saxonia concluded a pounding relationship with the Stuttgart Student Union in the summer semester of 1883, which lasted until the winter semester of 1886/87.

From 1887 on there was a multi-semester fraternity with the Karlsruhe fraternity of Teutonia . From the summer semester of 1889 onwards, Saxonia crammed with the uncovering color - bearing free association Bavaria Stuttgart. This crap ratio was expanded in the winter semester of 1892/93 by the addition of the Alemannia fraternity and the newly opened Ghibellinia country team.

However, it flew up again in 1894 when the Bavaria transferred to another association, with the result that Saxonia on the one hand and Alemannia and Ghibellinia on the other brought each other into a serious weapons disrepute.

Revival of the association (Auerbacher LSC)

On January 31, 1895, however, Saxonia established a friendship and friendship relationship with Ghibellinia and founded the Stuttgart LC with her. After favorable circumstances made it possible to reopen the adjourned Landsmannschaft Rhenania Karlsruhe on February 23, 1895, the three Landsmannschaft joined forces on March 3, 1895 to form the Auerbacher Landsmannschafts-Seniors-Convent (Auerbacher LSC), which was held in the summer semester of 1897, the in Hanover adjourned, the Landsmannschaft Obotritia reopened at the initiative of Rhenania Karlsruhe and in 1898 the newly founded Hasso-Borussia Darmstadt reported.

Despite the external difficulties that Saxonia had encountered due to its isolation, it was able to further increase its existence in the coming years through good growth, its inner strength and further expansion of the old gentlemen's association. Paucity existed between 1900 and 1902 with the resurrected Rhenania, or its successor Rheno-Borussia-Karlsruhe, as well as with the uncovered connections Württembergia Hohenheim and Marcomannia Stuttgart.

Association of compatriots of German universities (VLDH)

Furthermore, in 1903 a puck relationship was concluded with the compatriot Normannia, which was postponed in Aachen and reopened in Darmstadt, and in the winter semester of 1903/1904 a puck and friendship relationship with the compatriot Hasso-Borussia was concluded. The friendship relationship with the Hasso-Borussia team still exists today. At the suggestion of the latter, in June 1904 Hasso-Borussia, Saxonia, Rhenania-Gießen, Westfalia-Braunschweig and Rhenania Leipzig founded the Association of Landsmannschaften Deutscher Hochschulen (VLDH), which later became Schyria Munich, Borussia Stuttgart, Ascania Charlottenburg, Vandalia Berlin, Werderania Berlin and Normannia Darmstadt joined.

At the 40-year foundation festival in 1905, the company's own fraternity house was inaugurated. The building at Birkenwaldstrasse 111 was designed by Emil Rein .

General Landsmannschafter Convent on the Marksburg (ALC ad Marksburg)

In 1907 the VLDH developed into the General Landsmannschafter Convent on the Marksburg (ALC ad Marksburg), which in the following years developed a strong association and consisted of twelve compatriots at the outbreak of war. During the First World War, in which 15 Saxons fell, the active operation was suspended.

Initiation to transfer to the German Landsmannschaft

When, after the First World War, the German Landsmannschaft (DL) was ready to open its series of Landsmannschaft technical and agricultural universities, Saxonia initiated the transfer to the DL on November 25, 1918.

With her admission to the German Landsmannschaft on October 1, 1919, Saxonia achieved the goal of reaching the goal for almost 50 years, despite great external difficulties and despite repeated enticements to ease her struggle for existence by joining another larger umbrella organization to achieve a union of the country teams from all German universities.

Third Reich

The seizure of power by Hitler in 1933 and the associated “conformity” in the student body and liaison system caused major problems for Saxonia as a non-politically oriented corporation and forced restrictions until two years later, immediately after the 70th foundation festival, the student associations and associations were closed . Most of the active and inactive join the still existing old gentlemen's association. In the winter semester of 1935/36, all of the Stuttgart compatriots were compulsorily formed into a “comradeship” in the NS student union. At the same time, under political pressure, the house was also sold to the city of Stuttgart in 1937.

History after 1945

The Saxenhaus after the renovation in 2005

From 1946 on, the former members of Saxonia got in touch with each other again and met regularly for extischen.

On February 26, 1948, Aktivitas was re-established at the Technical University of Stuttgart in the form of the Academic Society Stuttgardia with the colors, the circle and the motto of the old Saxonia. Just five months later, the company Stuttgardia changes its name to Studentenverband Saxonia, only to be recognized four years later, at the 87th Foundation Festival, as Landsmannschaft Saxonia in a festive setting as a continuation of the old Landsmannschaft (togetherness document).

In the following years there was more contact between the connections in Germany. From this, at Pentecost 1951, the Coburg Convent (CC) emerged, which was founded from the merger of the former DL and the representative convention (VC) of the gymnastics associations . In addition, on February 14, 1955, the friendship relationship with the Landsmannschaft Württembergia zu Hohenheim was established, which still exists today.

In 1950 the purchase agreement for the property with the ruins of the Saxenhaus was signed with the city of Stuttgart. So that in 1955 the 90th foundation festival can be celebrated on the house again.

In 1994 the "Working Group for the Renewal of our Saxonia" (AK ZEUS) was founded with the aim of making Saxonia more attractive for young students. This work was completed in 1995. Numerous small and large changes in federal life and its organization are now being tackled, including the new logo.

In the case of more complex renovations, the previous furniture is handed over to the newly founded Germania zu Dresden gymnastics club in the CC .

On April 29, 2005 the 140th foundation festival will take place with the fourth inauguration of the Saxenhaus, which will be 100 years old this year. After 40 years a father of the country is stabbed again on the Saxenhaus.
