history
The beginnings
After it was founded on October 20, 1871 as the “Polytechnischer Turnverein”, the colors “red-white-red” were adopted in 1881 after the colors of the old German gymnastics association . In the following years the number of members continued to increase until it had 41 members in 1884, which was 28% of Aachen's student body. In 1885 the motto "Mens sana in corpore sano" (Latin: "A healthy mind in a healthy body") and the circle were introduced. A short time later the name was changed to "Rheno-Borussia". This turned the gymnastics club into a fully fledged corporation, which initially had around 25 members.
In 1889, Kneipcouleur , colored weapons, determination meters and unconditional satisfaction were introduced. The Alt-Herren-Verband was founded three years later. In 1900 the name was changed to “Turnerschaft Rheno Borussia”. In 1903 the Rheno-Borussia gymnastics club was accepted into the representative convention . The first house consecration followed four years later on Lousbergstrasse. 30 in Aachen.
Second World War
Due to legal provisions of the Nazi regime, the Rheno-Borussia gymnastics club was dissolved in 1936. A group of friends with a corporate character was formed, which existed until the fraternity house was sold at the end of 1937. On July 29, 1939, the founding meeting of the "Kameradschaft XI" took place, which on December 18, 1943, achieved the status of a registered association. In May 1945 the allied decree forbade comradeships. From then on, the connection continued to exist as an “Academic Circle of Friends”.
post war period
In 1950, the Rheno-Borussia gymnastics association was re-established and in 1951, when the Coburg Convent , or “CC” for short, was founded, it adopted the name “Rheno Borussia im CC gymnastics association”. In 1952 the censorship was introduced. The second house consecration followed three years later in Lousbergstrasse. 44, where the “Turnerschaft Rheno-Borussia” is still based today. In 1972 the compulsory censorship was abolished, with which the gymnastics community left the "CC" at the same time.
Co-founding of the country team in the CC Pomerania Halle-Aachen
In 1952, four boys from the Rheno-Borussia gymnastics club were assigned to help found the country team in CC Pomerania . On May 17, 1952, the start-up was announced at the inaugural bar of the Rheno-Borussia gymnastics club and the four boys were given the blue-white-black ribbon of the country team in CC Pomerania. The compatriot Pomerania in the CC was suspended on November 26, 1952. The federation was reconstituted on November 27, 1952, after the merger of the old manors Pomerania Halle and Pomerania Aachen had been completed.
Daughter connection
Guestphalia Wroclaw
The gymnastics club Guestphalia Breslau was a colorful, striking subsidiary of the gymnastics club Rheno-Borussia, which was founded by members of the Rheno Borussia on October 20, 1910 at the Technical University of Breslau . It was dissolved by the Nazi regime in 1935. In 1947 an attempt was made to find the missing Federal Brothers via circular letters and lists of addresses, which was largely successful. In 1950 the remaining members of the Guestphalia Breslau decided to merge with the founding gymnastics club Rheno-Borussia. As a sign of the amalgamation of the two gymnastics associations into a federation without a double name, it was agreed that the Rhine Prussian flag would be given a pennant in the colors green-white-black with the name of Guestphalia and that the charged would also put on the ribbon of Guestphalia Breslau.
