It is a German Studentenverbindung and is an affiliated member of the Cartellverband der katholischen deutschen Studentenverbindungen.

This speech motivated many Germanic students to such an extent that they decided to establish a fraternity that same evening.

In post war Belgium, it was impossible to re-establish a German student fraternity in 1918.

It took until 1996 until the political situation was stable enough to reconstitute the fraternity, within the Dutch-speaking Katholieke Universiteit te Leuven.

At that moment many students who belonged to fraternities were members of the Cartellverband and studied in Louvain.

The last surviving member gave his blessing to this undertaking and on April 19, 1996, the reactivation became a reality.

Academic fencing is common with the more secular student fraternities in Germanic countries.

The official dress symbols, that are worn by each member, consist of a vertical green-white-red triband bordered with a golden thread and a green kepi, the historical military cap as worn during the American Civil War.
