Economic hardship of Weimar Germany took its toll on everyday fraternity life.
Legal historian Björn Bertram writes about Leonensia's Hermann Krause that the fraternity could host tablerounds only twice a month.
During the German Empire, in contrast, Leonensia used to host tablerounds at least twice a week.

Like most student fraternities, Leonensia took a critical stance towards the political order of the interwar period.
In 1921, Carl Gernandt, then executive officer (Vorstandsmitglied) of Leonensia's association of senior members (de), condemned the international impotence of the Weimar Republic and called for revenge on France.
In a speech during the fraternity's 50th anniversary, he said: "Now, as Germany is on her knees, we have to profess ourselves and so we commemorate her during all the great tablerounds singing patriotic songs while commemorating the God who made iron grow!" (
Jetzt aber liegt Deutschland am Boden, jetzt heißt es bekennen und so gedenken wir seiner bei allen großen Kneipen, singen die vaterländischen Lieder, gedenken des Gottes, der Eisen wachsen ließ!)
