List of members of the Corps Helvetia

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The list of members of Corps Helvetia gives an overview of mostly Swiss personalities who have belonged to Helvetia, sorted by university. From the end of the late Middle Ages to the founding of the University of Zurich (1833) and the University of Bern (1834), there was only the University of Basel, founded in 1460, in German-speaking Switzerland . This is why numerous Swiss studied at German universities up to the middle of the 19th century. With the emergence of the corpsland teams at the German universities, the Swiss students formed their own corpsland teams, which they named Helvetia. These belonged to the respective senior citizens' convents (SC). There was also a Helvetia at the two Zurich universities. These were recruited from a significantly higher proportion of Swiss students than the respective second SC Corps, Tigurina at the university and Rhenania at the ETH.
