The charge of the Berlin connections on the occasion of the celebration of the foundation of the Reich , 1932

meaning

In Berlin there was a diversity of student corporations at the various universities like no other German city. In the winter semester of 1930/31, 186 different connections were posted at the Berlin universities. There are also countless others at the trade and technical schools. Due to the war and the division of the city, many of these connections were not able to resume operations after the Second World War. Some of the houses were in the eastern part of the city and were expropriated, sometimes access to the former recruiting areas such as Brandenburg, Pomerania or Silesia was cut off and many old men lived in the GDR area and had to hide their membership. Many connections were finally postponed, merged or relocated to West Germany.

Especially the particularly flourishing Jewish and parity fraternity in Berlin had perished forever due to the flight and murder of most of its members.

In the western part of the city, some corporations succeeded in restitution after the war, but it was precisely the corporations that were successful that were exposed to some restrictions by the Free University , which could only be lifted in 1958. The building of the wall and the student riots in the course of the 1968 movement caught the remaining Berlin connections unprepared and led to a further decline. After German reunification, some Berlin-based connections were able to return to their traditional university locations. However, unlike at the universities of the New States , there were no relocations to Berlin or significant start-ups .
