Corps Borussia Bonn


The Corps Borussia Bonn is a German Student Corps at the University of Bonn.

Borussia was established on 22 December 1821 and joined the Kösener Senioren-Convents-Verband (KSCV) in 1856. It is the corps of the House of Hohenzollern and – along with others – Prussian nobility. Its motto is Virtus fidesque bonorum corona! (Bravery and loyalty of the crown.)

Karl Marx fought a duel with a Borrussia Korps member in August 1836.

In 1864 and 1883 Borussia headed the KSCV. Notwithstanding some members of the Nazi Party it refused to expel Jews and dissolved in 1935. It restituted herself in 1949.
