history

Towards the end of the 19th century, an increasingly anti-Semitic mood began to spread in the German Empire . The student associations were also affected and began to partially exclude Jewish liaison members. As a reaction to this, separate Jewish corporations emerged, some with different objectives.

While Bavaria Heidelberg, established in 1890, advocated Jewish assimilation and adaptation, Ivria Heidelberg was founded as clearly Zionist . Many sources name 1911 as the date of foundation, others speak of 1907. Possibly a provisional predecessor society is meant here that temporarily joined the Cartel of Zionist Associations (KZV) founded in 1906 .

Both connections competed sharply with each other when Ivria appeared at the funeral of a Russian-Jewish fellow student in 1913 as “representative of the Jewish student body”, followed by harsh correspondence and the conflict was resolved by a game of fencing . At least one other traditional student association for male Jews in Heidelberg ( Nicaria ) has been documented, and the Jewish-Academic Association , a mixed student association , had existed since 1919 .

On July 19, 1914, the Ivria participated in the founding of the umbrella organization KJV, the cartel of Jewish connections . This initially had 13, then in 1929 18 member unions. Since the Ivria did not have its own corporation house , the members met regularly in the "Goldenes Fäßchen" restaurant, which thus acted as a constant . The Jewish corporation was not granted full recognition. Increasingly there were clashes with right-wing extremists and anti-Jews.

From the 1930s (and especially after the seizure of power in 1933) the conflicts became more radical. At the University of Heidelberg there were serious fights between the members of ethnic organizations and those of the Jewish connections. In the course of 1933, the Ivria gradually disbanded under National Socialist pressure.
