The Kösener Senioren-Convents-Verband (abbreviation: KSCV) is the oldest association of German, Austrian and Swiss Studentenverbindungen or students fraternities.

It comprises roughly 105 German, Austrian and a Flemish (Belgian), Hungarian and Swiss Corps, all of which are based upon the principle of tolerance.

It soon moved to Bad Kösen in the northernmost German wine growing area Saale-Unstrut.

Inevitably, this policy resulted in the forced closure and disbandment of the corps and, eventually, the KSCV.

The Kösener monuments commemorate prestigious members of the Corps as well as the many fallen during the wars.
