Everything about Corps Hannovera G Ttingen totally explained
The
Corps Hannovera Göttingen is one of the oldest
German Student Corps, a
Studentenverbindung or
student corporation founded
18 January 1809 at the
Georg August University of Göttingen. The name was chosen because the founders had their home residences in the
Kingdom of Hanover. As a corps it's a founder member (1848) of the
Kösener Senioren-Convents-Verband (KSCV), the oldest governing body of such student associations in both Germany and Austria.
Hannovera commits itself still to the principles of
academic fencing as well as the common principles of tolerance and democracy shared by all Corps of the
KSCV. Its members wear
couleur (cap and tricoloured sash) on official occasions. Hannovera's Latin
motto is
Nunquam retrorsum, fortes adiuvat fortuna! (engl:
Never backward, fortune favours the bold).
Corps Hannovera officially regards the 18 of January 1809 as its founding date though it can be proved that there were similar gatherings of Hanoverian students in Göttingen as far back as 1735.
Corps Hannovera is also a founding member (along with fellow cartel Corps Teutonia Marburg and Lusatia Leipzig) of and stringent follower of the blue principle. The blue principle being the social principle which consists of the promotion of gentlemanly conduct and social behaviour in general. Flowing from these ideals Corps Hannovera host several events in their club house(
Corpshaus) including what are probably the best parties in the town.
The most famous member of
Hannovera was
Otto von Bismarck, who probably had the "wildest" time of his life in the course of his studies at
Göttingen university, where, owing to his excessive boisterousness, he was forced to live outside the town walls and was once placed under
arrest for a period of ten days in the university jail (in German:
Karzer).
Other famous members of Corps Hanovera Göttingen were the leader of the
liberal opposition in the
Reichstag,
Rudolf von Bennigsen and the German economist
Wilhelm Roscher.
