The Corps Borussia Bonn is a German Student Corps. It was established at the University of Bonn in Bonn, Germany in 1821. Inactive during the Nazi rule of Germany, the Corps was reestablished in 1949.

The Corps Borussia Bonn was established on 22 December 1821 at the University of Bonn in Bonn, Germany. It is the corps of the House of Hohenzollern and Prussian nobility. Karl Marx fought a duel with a Corps Borrussia member in August 1836.[1]

The Corps Borussia Bonn joined the Kösener Senioren-Convents-Verband (KSCV) in 1856. In 1864 and 1883, Borussia headed the KSCV.

Notwithstanding some members of the Nazi Party, Corps Borussia refused to expel Jews and dissolved in 1935 while Germany was under Nazi rule.

The Corps Borussia Bonn reestablished itself in 1949, after the defeat of the Nazis in World War II.

The Corps Borussia Bonn’s motto is Virtus fidesque bonorum corona (Latin for “bravery and loyalty are the crown of the good”).
