At the bottom left in the six-fold field, the colors. The center shield contains the compass in black and white .

The motto is Amicitia honos virtus (friendship - honor - virtue).

history

One of the founders, Otto v. Judge as a student

Today's country team Scotland is due to a regular gathering of students from Marbach am Neckar . On November 19, 1849, the resolution was passed to give the wreath , which had previously met informally, an organizational basis, so that day is the date of the foundation. The name Marbacia , which the company had unofficially adopted, was not known to the outside world. In the summer semester of 1850 the pub was moved from the "Rene" to the "Schottei", which was named after its owner Carl Schott. At a convention in June 1852 it was decided that the society should get an official name. The name "Scotland" had surfaced soon after the laying of the pub in the "Schottei" and the names of Scots , Scotland , Scotch or Schottlandia had already established itself in Tubingen, as a result, called the company henceforth Scotland .

After Scotland acquired colors in 1855, the first Scotsman was on the scale in the winter semester of 1860/1861 . For this he had to resign temporarily and fought on the weapons of the Corps Franconia . In October 1884 unconditional satisfaction was decided.

In August 1902, Scotland was accepted as a country team in the Coburg LC , whose presidium she led in the years 1906/1907 and 1930. Despite the loss of many members, the country team was able to maintain active operations during the First World War .

After the general ban on student associations, the active federation was dissolved in 1935. A comradeship was forcibly formed together with the Zollern singers and initially with the Ulmia national team , in which, however, the corporate student traditions could be secretly maintained. Members of these leagues have been sent to East Prussia for the annual harvest service. Based on this, the comradeship called itself Ostland . The old rulers of Scotland maintained contact with this comradeship, which lasted until 1948. After the war, the French military (medical company) and later the Tübingen forest administration occupied the liaison house.

In the winter semester of 1948/1949, the reconstitution took place under the name Academic Association Marbach . The name Landsmannschaft Scottland was reintroduced in 1953 and the association was henceforth a member of the Coburg Convent .

In 1987, Scotland was again responsible for the presidium of the Coburg Convent. Significantly, the country team has never had to suspend Scotland for lack of active players in its history.

Self-image

The constitution “ whose foundation is friendship ”, which is shaped by liberalism , sees in addition to academic performance the obligation of each individual to follow their own convictions - which are recognized as good -, to take a clear position and act accordingly, regardless of how the environment reacts to them. Both political and religious tendencies are far from her.

Schottenhaus

House view from the garden side

In the 19th century, Scotland initially rented side rooms from restaurants as a constant , which were often named after the owners. These quarters changed repeatedly. The Scottish liaison house in Tübingen Schwabstrasse on the Österberg had the old manor built between 1903 and 1905 in the historical style especially for its purpose. The house designed by the Stuttgart architect Arthur Müller shows the forms of the early Renaissance . Extensions were built in 1928 and 1957:

“ The posh lines of the house should also represent what a moral association would be required to do. In the exterior and interior of the building, those heraldic sayings are expressed, which should be the guideline for the whole of life. "
