The Corps Saxo-Borussia Heidelberg is a German Student Corps at the University of Heidelberg.
History
Saxo-Borussia was established on 16 December 1820. Its motto is Virtus sola bonorum corona!. In 1829 Robert Schumann became a lifelong member. During the Revolutions of 1848 in the German states the corps participated in founding the Kösener Senioren-Convents-Verband (KSCV), an association of German-speaking Student Corps.
In the German Empire and in the Weimar Republic Saxo-Borussia was considered "the most distinguished corps of Christendom" – a reference to the 1st Foot Guards (German Empire). Wilhelm Meyer-Förster wrote a student novel (1885) and Mark Twain reported on his visit in A Tramp Abroad. Kurt Tucholsky taunted the corps with a poem.[1] Unlike the befriended Corps Borussia Bonn, Saxo-Borussia has never been mocked by satirical magazine Simplicissimus. The group was prosecuted in Nazi Germany. It dissolved on 3 July 1935 under persecution, and was recreated in 1952. In 1910 and 1998 it headed the KSCV.[2]
