Das Corps Guestphalia Bonn wurde unmittelbar nach der Machtubernahme 1933 wie alle Korporationen gleichgeschaltet. Eine Gruppe von Alten Herren hat unter Missachtung der Grundprinzipien des Corps versucht, sich mit den Forderungen des Parteistaats zu arrangieren.


The Corps Guestphalia Bonn was brought into line immediately after the seizure of power by National Socialism in 1933, like all corporations. A group of “Alte Herren” tried to come to terms with the demands of the party-state, disregarding the basic principles of the corps. They initially successfully circumvented the so-called “Aryan regulations” imposed in 1933 for a long time, but finally accepted them in 1935 under massive pressure from the party state. The young Westphalians initially passively resisted the Fuhrer principle claimed by the so-called “Fuhrer” of the Altherrenschaft, but since 1935 they have openly resisted it. Despite the threat of repression, they continued their active fraternity life under conspiratorial conditions in illegality, even after the dissolution of the corporations run by the party state.
