The K.D.St.V. Saarland was established on June 18, 1961 as a spin-off of the fraternity K.D.St.V. Carolus Magnus Cartellverband at the University of the Saarland. Final act of the foundation was the publication on June 30. 1962. The K.D.St.V. Saarland was separated from Carolus Magnus because of the significant effects of the referendum of 1955, concerning the Saarstatut. With this referendum the citizens of the Saarland had to decide whether to reunite the Saarland with Germany or to be an independent territory, governed by an elected government, in matters of foreign policy represented by a commissar of the Western European Union and with an economy connected to France. There were heavy arguments between the supporters of both solutions. The break ran through Families, clubs and friendships and continued to exert an influence even after the conclusion of the referendum and the reunion to Germany. The new founded K.D.St.V. Saarland was the result of such a break. Here mainly the supporters of the Europastatut tried to form a new fraternity, separated from the supporters of the reunion to Germany, who mainly stayed in the Carolus Magnus fraternity.
