Corps Rhenania Tübingen

In 1857, it was granted admission to the KSCV, a nationwide association of Corps in Germany and Austria that had been founded just a few years earlier.

In the 19th century, fraternities usually assembled in local taverns where they were subject to their host's moods, and becoming independent represented a novelty to the contemporary scene.

The house is located on the top of many hills guarding the old market of Tuebingen, called Osterberg.

The Corps mourned many dead and wounded during World War I, but rising Nazi influence forced its members to shut down public membership activities to subsist clandestinely under false pretenses from 1938.

Within the above-mentioned KSCV the Corps belongs to a circle that devotes itself to the blue principle.

The house of the Corps Rhenania of Tuebingen is known to be the earliest to be built to host a fraternity in Germany. It was built in 1892 and finished in 1912.
