As early as the beginning of the 18th century, student associations from the Westphalian region of the Kingdom of Prussia existed at the University of Halle.

The Westphalian Association reconstituted itself at the end of the 18th century in the Prussian colors of black and white.

Despite ongoing conflicts with university and government authorities, this senior convent (SC), which was joined by Saxonia in 1802, continued to exist until the outbreak of the Wars of Liberation.

After the Wars of Liberation, the old Halle associations reconvened as friendly circles on November 1, 1814, and continued until the end of 1818.

In the following decades, the student association life in Halle continued to experience numerous conflicts with government and university authorities.

[4] The purpose of this newly founded association was to protect the students from the restrictive orders of the authorities, to establish social virtues and genuine friendship, to guarantee the freedom and German honor of each individual and to offer support to members in need.

Later, the Guestphalia founded in 1840 adopted these same colors..[9] In 1810, the older student association first occupied a Westphalian pub in the “Cool Fountain” in Halle.

After the reconstitution of 1874, they first puckered [clarification needed] in the restaurant “Für Fürstental” (until 1887, with a short break), then until 1888 in the “Marktschloß”.
