  BURSCHENSCHAFT - LoveToKnow Article on BURSCHENSCHAFT
The loud political idealism of the Burschen excited the fears of the reactionary powers, which culminated after the murder of Kotzebue (q.v.) by Karl Sand in 1819, a crime inspired by a secret society among the Bursc/ien known as the Blacks (Schwarzen).
The repressive policy embodied in the Carlsbad Decrees (q.v.) was therefore directed mainly against the Burschenschaft, which none the less survived to take part in the revolutions of 1830.
The Ref ormburschenschaften, formed since 1883 on the principle of excluding duelling, are united in the A llgemeiner deutscher Burschenbund.

Beck completed his studies at the University of Heidelberg in 1822; was ordained as Lutheran minister and received the degree of Doctor of Philosophy from the University of Tuebingen.
With Carl Follen he had participated actively as a Turner and member of the Burschenschaft in the movement which aimed at the liberation of Germany and the emancipation of its people from a government under the tyrannical sway of the all-powerful Metternich, the Austrian minister.
All three enlisted in the army, and at the close of the campaign against the French Emperor, together with a number of like-minded friends, they were charged with demagogy and became the victims of political persecution.

Lindemann was Sommerfeld's doctoral thesis advisor and, in 1891, he was awarded his doctorate from Königsberg for his thesis Die willkürlichen Functionen in der mathematischen Physik (The arbitrary functions in mathematical physics).

A corporation in Germany, Austria, Switzerland or elsewhere in Europe consists of the active students, who study any academic subject at a university, and the already graduated Alte Herren (Elder Gentlemen or alumni)/Hohe Damen (High Ladies) that have once been active in the corporation.
Corporations are organized in umbrella organisations; for example there is the Cartellverband der katholischen deutschen Studentenverbindungen (CV), the Kartellverband Katholischer Studentenvereine (KV), Weinheimer Senioren-Convent, the Coburger Convent, the Deutsche Burschenschaft, the Verband der Vereine Deutscher Studenten or the Kösener Senioren-Convents-Verband.
Most of the current corporations originate in the early 19th century, as does their tradition.

These fraternities were founded in an atmosphere of patriotic excitement after the Napoleonic Wars and promoted a unified Germany which made them opponents of the many principalities Germany consisted of at this time.
After a Burschenschaft member assassinated Russian ambassador Kotzebue in 1819, the fraternities were banned and prosecuted by most German gouvernments.
Presumably, it is this official opposition to the Burschenschaft movement that the funny coinage "antiburschius" refers to.

 Listening Up By Heidi L. Whitesell   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Those thinking in terms of only the 20th century might be surprised to realize that the first modern student movement—the Burschenschaft—seeking to reform campus life as well as transform national politics, was born in 1815 in what the world knows today as Germany.
As the first “national” student union representing various German-speaking universities, the Burschenschaft set important historical precedents outlined in this issue’s feature on the origin of the German state.
The Burschenschaft continues to exist today, albeit as a mainstay for conservative students.

 Wilhelm Marr
Marr was an unemployed journalist, who claimed that he had lost his job due to Jewish interference.
The latter rejected the participation of Jewish and other non-German minorities as members, "unless they prove that they are anxious to develop within themselves a Christian-German spirit" (a decision of the "Burschenschaft Congress of 1818").
While they were opposed to the participation of Jews in their movement, like Heinrich von Treitschke later, they did allow for the possibility of the Jewish (and other) minorities participating in the German state if they were to abandon all signs of ethnic and religious distinctiveness and assimilate completely into German Volk.

But though the "corps" students are so conspicuous in the small university towns, it is only the men of means who join them.
For poorer students there is a cheaper form of union, called a Burschenschaft.
The members of a corps all say "thou" to each other, and on the Alte Herren Abende, when members of an older generation are entertained by the young ones of today, this practice still obtains, although one man may be a great minister of State and the other a lad fresh from school.
