Urburschenschaft
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Urburschenschaft was founded in 1815 in Jena, Saxony, in Germany.
It had 859 active students as members, that were about 60 per cent of all students who studied at the university of Jena from 1815 to 1820. One of its first members was Heinrich von Gagern, the president of the Frankfurt Parliament in 1848/49.
A Burschenschaft is a special type of Studentenverbindung (student fraternity). Burschenschaften were founded in the 19th century as associations of university students inspired by liberal and nationalistic ideas.
