The Blaues Kartell is a circle of four German Student Corps, or Corps (Studentenverbindung) for short, who understand the union as "one fraternity spanning four cities". The member fraternities are the Corps Altsachsen Dresden, Saxo-Thuringia München, Berlin and Hannoverania Hannover.
The Blaues Kartell is the largest one of similar circles within the Weinheimer Senioren-Convent (WSC), the second oldest federation of classical fraternities found in Europe, its roots dating back to the 15th century A.D.[1][2][3]
According to the declaration of all Kartellcorps, each shall understand the membership as being part in one fraternity with different university locations and different fraternity colors. (German original: Entsprechend der beim Abschluss des Kartells abgegebenen Erklärung verstehen sich die Kartellcorps im Sinne der ideellen Zusammengehörigkeit als ein Corps mit jeweils anderem Namen und anderen Farben an einem anderen Hochschulort. )
