After Potsdam Day and the election victory of the National Socialist German Workers' Party in the Reichstag election in March 1933 , the four corps in the First Czechoslovak Republic had to officially break away from the umbrella organization Kösener SC-Verband for political reasons; because it was feared that the Prague authorities would take action against them after the synchronization . It was not until 1919 and 1920 that the two senior citizens' convents were accepted into the KSCV and therefore left the corporation in October 1933 .
Shortly after leaving, some Reich German corps sent two-band men to the Prague and Brno corps so as not to lose contact. Many were members of the NSDAP . This was to show the leader of the KSCV and VAC Max Blunck that one could continue to indirectly control the Prague SC Association. In 1933/34 a Starkenburger , a Göttingen Saxon , a Würzburg Bavarian and two Mainlanders were active at Frankonia Prag . It was similar with the other corps. In 1934 the four corps in Moravia and Bohemia founded the High Prague SC Association . According to the constitution, it was a special-purpose association of the Czechoslovak corps on a “completely non-political basis”. It consisted of the four corps at the German Technical University Brno and the (German) Karl Ferdinand University in Prague. These were Frankonia Brno, Marchia Brno , Frankonia Prague and Suevia Prague . The corpsphilister associations in Ostrau and Teplitz were asked to cooperate. The Association of Old Corps Students had a seat and a vote. The constitution with six parts and an appendix referred to the Kosen statutes.
The congresses should be led by the “presiding corps”, in the order Suevia Prague, Marchia Brno, Frankonia Prague, Frankonia Brno. The ordinary congress should take place every year by March 15th (before the Kösener Congress). The first time the HPSCV met with six representatives on March 9, 1935. An accession agreement to the national conservative German Gymnastics Association was decided .
After all, the four corps survived a few years longer than the Reich Germans. They were suspended in March 1939 when the Wehrmacht occupied the Czecho-Slovak Republic . The HPSCV had lost its meaning in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia .
The constitution and the minutes of the 1st congress are kept in the Kösener archive of the Institute for Higher Education in Würzburg.
