Seniors' Convention in Wroclaw

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
1864-1945

The SC zu Breslau was the senior citizens' convention of the Kösener Corps at the Silesian Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität . He is the only one with a temporary counter-SC and the only one who was accredited by both a university and a technical college . The joint relocation to two university locations in western Germany is also unique .

history

A first senior citizens' convention in Breslau could have been formed in the summer semester of 1821 between Borussia (1819–1824) and Silesia (1821–1824). Evidence and a constitution are missing.

The second Breslauer SC was created in 1829 between Borussia and Silesia. A Teutonia II and Lusatia joined this SC . After the Frankfurt Wachensturm , the connections were exposed to strong persecution pressure. After excesses at the Zobtenkommers , they were dissolved by the Senate . The second SC was thus suspended . Only Borussia secretly continued to exist with interruptions. Silesia reconstituted on December 7, 1837, Lusatia on March 10, 1841.

Two SC

Marchia II

The third Breslauer SC was built in 1838 between Borussia and Silesia. Lusatia joined again in 1841. Years of crisis followed. Prussia and Lusatia stood against the Silesians, so that they saw themselves compelled to open a fourth corps; Saxonia (green-gold-black), donated on March 6, 1847, was only able to maintain itself with its mother corps. When they split up, Saxonia flew up again on May 13, 1848. After semester-long quarrels, Silesia left the SC on March 1, 1849. Although she was right by most of the foreign SC in a pending dispute, she was not recognized as a SC; because that required two corps. Therefore, she took up the application of a Ghibellina country team that wanted to open up as a corps . After she was constituted as Marchia with Silesia's support on June 11, 1849 , she was reciprocated by Silesia. For the first and only time there were two senior citizens' conventions at a university, until Borussia joined the Gegen-SC on February 28, 1850 and Lusatia followed. This SC - Borussia, Silesia, Lusatia and Marchia - joined the Kösener Seniors Convents Association in 1855 . Marchia suspended on November 4, 1860.

On November 3, 1868, the SC reciprocated the Landsmannschaft Marcomannia as a corps. Lusatia had been suspended on November 2, 1861. On March 2, 1877 she was reconstituted by the Landsmannschaft Macaria . With this, the SC zu Breslau with Borussia, Silesia, Lusatia and Marcomannia had finally gained the shape that lasted until its end during the Nazi era .

Suspension and a new beginning

After the dissolution of the KSCV on September 28, 1935, the four corps suspended in October and November of the same year. They participated in three SC comradeships .

After the Second World War , Silesia (1950), Borussia (1951), Marcomannia (1952) and Lusatia (1956) moved to the Cologne Seniors' Convention and at the same time to Aachen ; because in this way, according to the Breslau tradition, they could also accept “technical students” from RWTH Aachen . Marcomannia was therefore also in Siegen for a while . Today two Kösener Corps from Breslau still maintain active operations. One merged, one suspended:

Commemorative plaque of the city of Wrocław at the Borussia corp house in Breslau, spelling mistake: 1819 instead of 1829

In 2008, Borussia celebrated its 189th foundation festival in Breslau . Leszek Pacholski and Tadeusz Luty , the rectors of the University of Wroclaw and the Technical University of Wroclaw , welcomed the corps in the Aula Leopoldina . The city of Wroclaw had a commemorative plaque put up on the former corp house at 6 Nowa ul. (Formerly Neue Gasse 6). Today there are offices and apartments in the former corp house. As early as 1939, the halls in the house were remodeled according to plans by Lothar Neumann .

Representatives of Lusatia were in Wroclaw in 2012 for the 180th anniversary of its foundation. The rector Marek Boyarski received the corps in the Senate meeting room. In the former corp house , which today serves as a youth center and exhibition room, the Lusatians were welcomed "extremely friendly and interested". A memorial plaque was decided .

The breaks in German history are due to the fact that today two Kösener corps maintain active operations at technical universities - actually on Weinheim territory : Borussia Breslau at RWTH Aachen and Silvania at TU Dresden .
