Kristianstad Nation, Lund
- Kristianstad Nation, Lund
Kristianstad Nation is a student nation at Lund University. The name comes from the city Kristianstad in Scania. It is often jocularly spelt "Krischansta Nation".
Originally, all Scanian people enrolled in the Scanian Nation (or "Skånska nationen"). As that nation grew, it became necessary in 1890 to split it in five parts: Lunds Nation, Malmö Nation, Helsingkrona Nation, Sydskånska Nation and Kristianstad Nation. Nowadays, however, a student's origin plays only a small part when choosing what nation to belong to.
The 17th century pro-Danish Scanian partisan "Snapphane" is the symbol of the nation, and the Nation arms, annual festivities and other activities all bear the name Snapphane. Kristianstad was historically located in the Göinge area where the Snapphane resided.
