Country team in the CC Pomerania Halle-Aachen

The Landsmannschaft Pomerania Halle-Aachen is a student union in the Coburg Convent . Founded on November 9th, 1792, it is one of the oldest German connections and one of the few whose roots go back to the 18th century. The country team is obligatory and colored . Today it is based in Aachen and unites active and former students of the RWTH Aachen and the FH Aachen as a friendship for life. The members are called "Pomerania".

Color

Pomerania has the colors “sky blue-white-black”, with sky blue hats being worn. The foxes wear the fox ribbon sky blue and white.

history

In 1694, the University of Halle - today Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg - was founded. As early as 1717, the university annals reported the appearance of Pomeranian students with blue ribbons. On November 9th, 1792, a "Pomeranian Kränzchen " was finally founded , which is still the date of the association's establishment. In the following years, the Napoleonic era, the wars of freedom, etc. resulted in bans, reopenings, a temporary relocation to Frankfurt (Oder) , accessions to other connections and conversion into a corps . On November 11, 1865, the Pomerania country team was finally re-established. Since then the colors sky blue-white-black have been used. Before that, the Pomeranian colors were sky blue-white or sky blue-white-red. Black symbolizes the friendship and loyalty of the members until death. The "principle of territoriality", d. H. the principle of only accepting Pomeranian students had already been abandoned in 1819. The connection existed in Halle until the suspension caused by National Socialism in 1936.

At the same time, there is also a Pomerania country team, a much younger engineering association. This federation was founded in 1920 at the Wismar Polytechnic and moved to Aachen in 1922. Since the Halle Pomerania had no opportunity to re-establish themselves in Halle due to the division of Germany , the two unions of the same name and color decided in 1952 to merge to form the Pomerania Halle-Aachen Landsmannschaft based in Aachen.

House in Aachen

The Landsmannschaft Pomerania has been a member of the "Coburg Landsmannschafter Convent" since 1870, a forerunner of today's Coburg Convent. She is on friendly terms with five other connections within the Coburg Convent in the Golden Cartel, including, since 1872, particularly close to the Ghibellinia Tübingen regional team.

The connection has had its own house in Aachen since 1961. In the same year Pomerania was President of the Coburg Convent. A return to Halle after reunification was rejected after initial considerations, as it would have been very difficult to get a connection at both locations given the relatively large distance between the cities of Aachen and Halle / Saale. In 2011 Pomerania was again President of the Coburg Convent.
