History
The Run-up: .... - 1884
The forerunner of the Limburgse Gilde was Zand en Leem. This student club, together with the Antwerpse studentenkring, was the first regional student circle in Flanders. Zand en Leem was founded before 1881 and disappeared in 1898. It was labelled 'Gaugilde voor de Limburgers', but was considered by the Catholic-minded authorities as unstylish and a boozer's club that was not committed to the 'Flemish cause'. The Vlaamsche Vlagge of January 1885 writes: '1885: The Limburgers count a few good and altogether many bland Flemings. They already have a guild called "Zand en Leem" (sand and clay), which would deserve to be totally rebaked because its special purpose is to drink beer. However, things are also improving there, and many a brave Limburger will contribute to the Limburg magazine "Het daghet in den Oosten".
Initial years: 1885 - 1913
The Limburgse Gilde was founded on Thursday 10 December 1885 in room 3 of the Pauscollege by Lode Plessers, Mathieu Liesens and Arnout Hendrix.
The first two student clubs to sit in the Gilde were Moeder Heidebloem (1898) and Cicindria (1898). Hesbania (1899) followed a year later. Cicindria disappeared, along with many other clubs, after the First World War. However, it had a second existence as a Sint-Truiden weekend club that included many Hesbania members. At that time, regional student clubs were more associated with a college than a region. For example, Moeder Heidebloem was associated with the college of Maaseik, Neerpelt and Beringen, Cicindria with the Minor Seminary of Sint-Truiden, and Hesbania with the college of Tongeren and Hasselt.
Although these clubs were initially committed to the Flemish cause, their focus soon shifted to sociability.
Despite the focus on social life, the Gilde still had a Flemish character. In February 1908, shortly after the introduction of club caps and the removal of the French calottes, Hesbania was discredited; in the Light Procession in honour of the anniversary of Ons Leven, they had a chariot on which a monkey and a frog were depicted with a Calotte. This incident led to a total split between the Flemish and Walloon club life.
Ons Leven reported on 7 March 1913 regarding the Light Parade: 'In Limburg still lives and bums the old rolling race. Hesbania gave a neat instantaneity of a rolling. Among other things, the short-tempered personality of the Limburg chairman was clearly typified atop a table. The back of the illuminated cartoon proved that a girl's simple expressions of beauty make a stronger impression on the organs of feeling in a boy's body than the full pour of an emptying beer keg. Of the Heideblommers I can only recall that they seem to have a predilection for the style that flourished in the country about the eighteen thirties.'
It should be noted that the KU Leuven was Walloon-minded at the time and there were only male students. On top of that, until 1928, the establishment of the Seniorenkonvent, it was possible to be a member of the Limburgse Gilde or a regional club, or both.
First World War: 1914 - 1918
World War I broke out on 4 August 1914 and Leuven was occupied by the German army only 16 days later. Rector Mgr. Paulin Ladeuze decided to suspend classes in solidarity with the other universities, and a sad period sounded for both the University and the Gilde. The University Library -at the time in Naamstestraat, where the University halls now stand, among others- burned down and countless valuable documents went up in flames. About 1,000 manuscripts, 800 incunabula and 300,000 books collected throughout the university's 500-year history were lost, including archives of enormous historical value to the Limburgse Gilde.
Interbellum: 1919 - 1939
Jozef Bollen re-established the Limburgse Gilde in 1919 and resumed his position as senior. A real change in mentality was taking place in student life. After all, many boys were in their twenties who had experienced the suffering of war on the front line. The first years after the war were mainly the years of rebuilding. The Old Market was rebuilt, the library moved to the Ladeuze Square and was inaugurated on 4 July 1928, partly made possible by Herbert Hoover who later became a US president.
That the Gilde was also committed to socio-political causes at the time is proven by a piece in Ons Leven of 28 November 1922 about the Limburgse Gilde: "Meeting of 15 November 1922. That the meeting would be important was proven by the numerous attendance of members. A special word of thanks for the Hesbanians who, by sheer coincidence, had to meet the same evening and who all remembered to come first to the Limburgse Gilde and start their meeting later. After the chairman Lode Somers had paid tribute to the memory of our dear friend Donat Keunen, a thunderous applause was given to the Very Reverend Canon and Senator Broekx, director of social works in Limburg. In a very compelling speech, supported by evidence and statistics, the celebrated speaker captivated his audience for an hour on the current and future situation in Limburg regarding the coal industry, concluding that the current situation is not rosy. Speaker pointed out that the situation can be saved, not by capital, since 40 per cent of the operating capital is in French hands, but by focusing on the people, for which the free Catholic vocational schools are a measure. The speaker also referred to the frightening moral condition of the foreign workers arriving in Limburg, which will not improve for the 45,000 workers who will land in the Limburg coal industry from abroad between now and ten years. As a sad parenthesis, the speaker also mentioned how our Flemish workers are being turned into Walloons and de-Christianised in the Liège region."
The Gilde lasted until 1943. Moeder Hasseleta (1939) had come squeaking in just before the peace was disturbed, but in her early years was only active as a weekend club and did not belong to the Seniorenkonvent or the Gilde.
World War 2: 1940 - 1945
Leuven was again immediately plagued (10 May 1940) and capitulated after only 16 days. The university opened its doors as normal in the autumn of 1940. Student life suffered: rationing and curfews applied; beer was a scarce commodity. Despite this occupation, Moeder Maaslandia was founded in 1943.
The Years of Peace: 1946-1955
Georges Reynders revived the Limburgse Gilde after the S|econd World War. Three years later, the Limburgse Gilde was joined by a Genk society: Moeder Mijnlamp (1948). In the 1950s, a club with more than 100 members was not unusual, something which now appeals to many people's imagination. This flourishing was made possible by the democratisation of education and the many higher education courses being founded. Faculty student circles at that time did not fulfil the dominant role of today and were relatively small in size. In 1952, Moeder Hasseleta was acknowledged by the Seniorenkonvent , Moeder Mijnlamp followed in 1955.
The Language Struggle: 1956 - 1975
Not many sources shed light, but around 1956, female students were part of the Limburg corona. Women in the 1960s could be members of the Gilde and come to its activities, but they could not join the Limburg clubs. However, it can be said with certainty that Moeder Hasseleta, Moeder Maaslandia and Moeder Mijnlamp were mixed clubs in the first half of the 1970s. These ladies gradually disappeared from the LG and formed a structure in their own right. All sorts of conventions and unofficial sister clubs sprang up at the time, but little of this remains. The introduction of female club life can be explained due to the fact that from the 1950s it became less unusual for a woman to become a student.
These years were not only marked by female club life, but also took place in the heat of the Leuven language struggle. Since the Second World War, there had been two universities in Leuven, a Dutch-speaking one and a French-speaking one, and it was only in 1962 that Leuven came fully into Flemish territory.
A quote from well-known student leader Paul Goossens (Praeses KVHV): "We - and by this I mean the various student movements of the time - felt that a university should have a direct connection with the population. It is difficult to do that outside its own language community." At the time, club life sometimes fulfilled a political role - which of course did not apply to all clubs. The 1960s were not boom years for club life either: the democratisation of education brought an influx of students and introduced an era of individualism: there were many organisations and most students opportunistically joined the activities of these various clubs.
The Ambiorix, home of the Limburg student, was christened in 1964 with perennial medical student Jos Rastelli behind the bar. A year later, the Ambi came into the hands of Tienne and Gerda.
Senior Seniorum, the senior of the SK, Leo Weytjens (Moeder Hasseleta) celebrated the seventh lustrum of the SK with a lustrum week in December 1964: Monday at the Rijschool a mass club, Tuesday a lustrum Thé-Dansant (now known as TD, a student party) at Salons George, Wednesday a football tournament between the guilds with free kegs afterwards in the regular pubs on the Oude Markt, Thursday a cantus in the Grote Aula of the Maria-Theresia College, Friday a banquet and Saturday a visit to the Antwerp Trade Exchange which was dedicated to the SK for the occasion.
Valère Vautmans (Hesbania, Senior Seniorum 1966 - 1967, later well-known politician in the region of Sint - Truiden) made the national press in October 1966: the commilitones of the SK took part in a hike from Ostend to Leuven. This march was inspired by the Meredith March where African-Americans fought for their civil rights; however, this version was dedicated to the Flemishisation of the Alma Mater.
In October 1967, it was Moeder Mijnlamp's turn: this time, Senior Seniorum Paul Degraeve made the national press with the founding of the University of Zoutenaaie. At the time, Zoutenaaie was the smallest village in the country. The action, where 2 buses full of future lawyers, doctors and so on were driven to the village, advocated the spread of university studies.
The SK did not engage in politics after 1968. Furthermore, sources reveal that in the 1960s there were as many as 30 club cafes in Leuven.
Ex-LUC: 1976-1995
In 1971, the Limburgs Universitair Centrum (LUC) was founded (now UHasselt). These students moved to Leuven after their regency (now Bachelor), or even earlier, to complete their studies. This Limburg society soon established some student clubs in Hasselt and gradually Leuven branches emerged when they moved to the Alma Mater. Boves Luci (Leuven) (1976) was first, Klamme Hand (1980) second and Carpe Diem (1981) third.
The 1970s and 1980s are often described as the best years. In 1970, French-speaking activities began to move to Louvain-La-Neuve and Leuven was (largely) Flemish for the first time, women increasingly became students, January exams did not exist, more and more people from so-called 'ordinary backgrounds' could afford to study. The accumulation of these elements led to an explosion of the Gilde.
Georges Lenssen (Moeder Maaslandia) made his year as Senior Seniorum in 1978-1978 memorable: the first annual issue of the SK Newspaper was published and the academic year ended with the first edition of the Student Festivities on the Hogeschoolplein. This celebration included folk games, a street race and performances, including one by Raymond Van het Groenewoud.
The pre-eminent event in 1983 was the visit of Xaviera Hollander, a world-famous Dutch prostitute, to the Kraakske at the invitation of Boves Luci (Leuven). She and Prince Carnival Smegma I (Warner Camps, who later became Praeses of Boves Luci (Leuven)) made such a fuss that the rectorate had to call the Prince to order.
In 1985, the centenary of the Limburgse Gilde, i.e. the XXth lustrum, was celebrated. An LG club cap was made for the occasion.
At the head of the SK Lustrum year of 1994 - 1995, a year after the release of the famous Flemish film "Ad Fundum", was Johan Grutman (Moeder Heidebloem). It became a typical SK year: student song festival, election of Prince Carnival, a carnival rolling, a carnival party, a football tournament, a beer derby, a skiing trip to Val Thorens, a second annual issue of the SK Gazette.
Between 1956 and 1975, female students were also members of the Limburgse Gilde, and Moeder Hasseleta, Moeder Maaslandia and Moeder Mijnlamp were also mixed clubs during the first half of the 1970s.
Turn of the millennium: 1996 - 2007
Around the turn of the millennium, the semester system was introduced at the KU Leuven: exams in January and exams in June. This measure affected nightlife, and club life, immensely. 'Only' 12 club bars remained in 1995. The 2003-2004 academic year became the year in which Moeder Heidebloem, Moeder Maaslandia and Moeder Mijnlamp disappeared. From 2004 to 2007, only a few members from Hesbania kept the Gilde afloat.
Koen Jacobs, former Mijnlamper and at the time the manager of the Ambiorix, a student pub on the Oude Markt, put it this way in Veto: "The luxurious kots, high beer prices and semester exams are blamed for the disappearance or decline of 'legendary' Limburg clubs like Moeder Heidebloem and Klamme Hand."
Present: 2008 - ....
In 2008, Hesbania was finally no longer alone in 'den Ambi'. Moeder Hasseleta, Klamme Hand and Carpe Diem were then re-established. In 2010, Moeder Mijnlamp rejoined and Moeder Heidebloem followed in 2011.
A cause cannot immediately be found for the sudden resurrection of the Limburgse Gilde. One naïve explanation would be that the Limburg feeling is stronger than ever; a more psychologically-scientific explanation would be due to the recent growth of the internet and the associated social media, which increase its reach enormously; another explanation would be the chain effect since the re-establishment of Moeder Hasseleta and the desire to not be inferior to each other.
Anno 2012 - 2013, the Gilde has had another successful year. Bram Kerkhofs v. Borokov (Moeder Mijnlamp) took over the seniorship from Joris Ghysen v. Silo (Moeder Hasseleta) - the first not-Hesbania Guild - senior for a long time. From 12 November '12 to 15 November '12, a "Vang-de-Schacht-Week" was organised, crowned with a TD ("Limburg Feest") on the last day, the proceeds of which were donated to "a Heart for Limburg".
On 7 March '13, the Limburgse Gilde made a trip across Limburg, with breaks in the various home towns (Bocholt, Genk, Diepenbeek, Hasselt, Sint-Truiden) of the LG clubs. On 8 May '13, Maarten Hermans v. Zwan (Moeder Mijnlamp) succeeded his club colleague as Senior - a first in the history of Moeder Mijnlamp. Today, the trip through Limburg has become a true phenomenon which still takes place annually and is a high day for the Limburgse Gilde.
In 2013, Moeder Maaslandia was re-established and in 2014 they rejoined the Limburgse Gilde and the SK. As a result, the Limburgse Gilde again consisted of seven clubs, allowing it to officially call itself the largest Guild in Flanders.

- Waar in 't bronsgroen eikenhout,
't Nachtegaaltje zingt;
Over 't malse korenveld,
't Lied des leeuwriks klinkt;
Waar de hoorn des herders schalt,
Langs des beekjes boord;
- Chorus:
- Chorus:
- |: Daar is mijn Vaderland;
- Limurgs dierbaar oord!:| Bis

- Waar de brede stroom der Maas,
Statig zeewaarts vloeit;
Weeldrig sappig veldgewas,
Kostlijk groeit en bloeit;
Bloemengaard en beemd en bos,
Overheerlijk glooit.
- Waar der vaadren schone taal,
Klinkt met heldre kracht;
Waar men kloek en fier van aard,
Vreemde praal veracht;
Eigen zeden, eigen schoon,
't Hart des volks bekoort.
- Waar aan 't Oud Oranjehuis,
't Volk blijft hou en trouw;
Met ons roemrijk Nederland,
En in vreugd en trouw;
Trouw aan plicht en trouw aan God,
Heerst van Zuid tot Noord.
