The Pappenhemia was a student union at the Albertus University in Königsberg in the early 19th century . It only existed for 17 years, but it was of decisive importance for the dissolution of the general fraternity and the creation of corporations at the Albertina. Pappenhemia was never in the Königsberg Senior Citizens 'Convention and later belonged to the anti-corps general boys' association Albertina .
history
Within the general fraternity , the student body at the Albertina, the Pappenhemia was founded on December 3, 1824 as the first country team circle . It got its name from the regiment v. Pappenheim from Wallenstein's army . The colors were black-white-blue, the student cap black. The motto was Tenax propositi! In May 1829 Pappenhemia resigned from the general fraternity . Constituted as the Landsmannschaft Pappenhemia , she stood for compulsory duels , for unconditional satisfaction .
“The attitude of the Pappenheimers [in the struggle for supremacy] was not so clear, although the composition of its members suggested a conservative attitude. Even if the crowd was rejected by them, there was something exaggerated in their circle that withdrew from the harsh reality and preferred to pay homage to subtle endeavors. They therefore did not constitute a fighting force that was convinced that principles sometimes absolutely have to be emphasized. "
In 1835 Pappenhemia did not participate in the (first founded) SC zu Königsberg, although it probably had a similar constitution to the Corpsland teams. The Pappenheimers were unpopular with the student body, but had support in the Senate .
On November 20, 1838, she joined the Albertina General Boys' Association as a wreath . Around 1840, the Hochhemia , Gothia (I) and Pappenhemia wreaths vied for leadership in the General Albertina . When Pappenhemia saw its influence waning, it left it on March 14, 1841 and constituted itself again as an independent country team. In contrast to the General Albertina , it was discredited by it . In September 1841, the Pappenhemia dissolved due to a lack of young people.
Portrait watercolors by some Pappenheimers have come down to us in Wilhelm Schmiedeberg's Pages of Memory .
meaning
The members were noble students, sons of senior officials and professors, the "jeunesse dorée" . They stuck together more firmly than the other groups and thanks to their relationships, their "external elegance and agility" soon achieved great influence. They called themselves the "flower of the university". In the memorandum of 1833 it is stated that the more educated at the university came together there for "social amusements" regardless of their hometown, because they "had no taste for the rough get-togethers of the others". During police interrogations, they asserted that the others had given their circle, which only socialized, that name.
In response to a request from the Senate that summer, the Minister Karl vom Stein zum Altenstein confirmed that the University of Königsberg “had such strict regulations as the Kgl. Cabinet order of May 21, 1824 against the secret, in particular fraternities' connections , " did not need to be in their honor" . Already in 1822, the then chief of police Schmidt had reported that it was "to accept totally certain that, taken place since the destruction of the so-called general fraternity until 11/01/1820 any type of connection, which would have a certain shape or a certain tendency to reason" have .
The Littuania II had no offspring in 1825, so it disappeared from the stage. So it was only the Pappenheimers within the general public, a special group. But on December 19, 1828, the Lithuanians had formed a closer alliance again; On January 31, 1829, they celebrated their first foundation festival as the Lithuania country team with the colors green-white-red and resigned from the general fraternity . This gave the signal for a whole series of start-ups. The immediate result was the establishment of the country team Masovia with the offshoots Scotia and Borussia . Her first senior was August Ballnus . In his commemorative publication for Masovia's 40th foundation festival, Karl Heinrich wrote:
“In a boys 'meeting held immediately before the Whitsun holidays, a member of the Pappenheimers' wreath appeared and made the declaration that this wreath had been constituted as the Landsmannschaft Pappenhemia and as such would wear the colors black-white-blue. Their motto was Tenax propositi . - Very soon afterwards - on May 24th, 1829 - about 40 students made a similar declaration that they had met for the Borussia Landsmannschaft with the colors black and white. These explanations made a powerful impression on the rest of the students. For after these compatriots left the general commentary, a decline of the same came clearly before the soul of every individual. Of course, the superiority of the Pappenheimers was now gone; but in their place came Borussia, which did not serve the rest of the student body. She did not want to be dominated by any party and still clung to the idea of the general fraternity. Joint meetings were held, but at these the Borussia began to dominate and aroused the greatest displeasure. "
After the memorandum of 1833 had mentioned the dissolution of the Lithuanian wreath, it continued: “Since that time those who were not members of the Pappenheimer crown are usually called Masuria, especially since 1826.” According to Masovia's annals and the Scotia Paukbuch, several Pappenheimers fought still between 1838 and 1841 with the Masurians and Scots and on September 1, 1841 they are mentioned in the annals as existing. We haven't heard from them since then.
