The guestfalia house on the Tübingen Österberg

The Academic Association Guestfalia (AV Guestfalia) Tübingen is a non-beating Catholic student association founded in 1859, which belongs to the Cartell Association (CV). The AV Guestfalia is the only association in the CV that operates riding as a liaison sport. She is also a member of the Marburger Kreis.

history

In October 1857, 25 theology students from the Rhineland went on a day hike to the Achalm near Reutlingen . In the period that followed, twelve of these students met twice a week for a pub and in December decided to found a Rhenania with the connecting colors blue-white-red.

The official founding date is October 31, 1859, when the statutes were submitted to the university's senate. In 1860 the Corps Rhenania was reconstituted and claimed the name and colors of Rhenania; then the name was changed to Borussia and the connection was black-white-black.

In the following years, Borussia had to struggle with young talent, as the name Prussia was discredited by Bismarck's disregard for parliament during the army reform.

In 1862 it was renamed Guestfalia; this made sense because two thirds of the members came from Westphalia . Guestfalia joined in 1864 as the third member of the Cartellverband at. From 1864 to 1865 Guestfalia Tübingen was a member of the Würzburger Bund .

In 1894 thought was given for the first time about building their own fraternity house, as Aktivitas saw the time had come to gather and live under one roof. The connection was previously used by the Tübingen brewery restaurant Lenzei as a pub. On July 31, 1899, the building of the house was decided at the cumulative convention , and the foundation stone for the house was laid on the occasion of the 43rd foundation festival on July 20, 1902 , under the senior council of Eugen Bolz , who later became President of Württemberg. On July 1, 1903, Aktivitas moved with the Philistines and guests from the Tübingen market square to the festive inauguration on the Österberg .

In 1920, weapons and ammunition needed to suppress the Ruhr uprising were temporarily stored in the liaison house .

The National Socialist seizure of power in 1933 also led to radical changes at Guestfalia. The idea of synchronization had to be adopted by all connections. However, this measure was ignored by Guestfalia as far as possible, and the internal newsletter was kept secret for a long time. On April 4, 1935, the Cartell Association was finally dissolved under pressure from those in power. The compulsory membership of all students in the National Socialist German Student Union resulted in a lack of young talent, which ultimately led to the dissolution of the connection on April 4, 1936. On July 24, 1938, the house and its inventory were finally confiscated by the Gestapo . It was not until January 1, 1948 that it returned to the property of Guestfalia.

On December 17, 1950, the Guestfalia was officially approved again by the academic authorities of the Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen . In the following years things improved again and in 1959 Guestfalia was able to celebrate the 100th foundation festival in the courtyard of Hohentübingen Castle under the senior council of Klaus Kinkel . In 2009 the 150th foundation festival was celebrated in Reutlingen's Friedrich-List-Halle.

The Guestfalia chaired the Cartell Association six times: 1878/1879, 1886/1887, 1898/1899, 1892/1893, 1900/1901 and 1989/1990 and was once the chairman of the Cartell Association: from 1909 to 1930 with Felix Porsch .

The liaison members are called Tübingen Guestfalen . Guestfalia Tübingen has number 3 in the official order of the Cartel connections. The official abbreviation is Gu .

Goals and principles

The Guestfalia is based on the principles religio , scientia , amicitia . She wants to establish a lifelong friendship , which is borne by her couleur student traditions and comment .

Religio means the commitment to the Roman Catholic faith.
Scientia includes the pursuit of science and education, even beyond one's own subject area.
Amicitia means a friendship that lasts beyond the course of studies and in this way develops into a bond of life between students and old men.

The Guestfalia is non-striking and, unlike the CV, does not follow the principle of patria .

Color and motto

The connection has the colors green-white-black. The fox colors are green and white. Head color is a green flat cap. The Guestfalia's motto is In amicitia fortes et hilares .

Circle

The Guestfalenzirkel is a couleur student monogram of four letters, V, C, F, G, and a call sign. These letters stand for VIVAT CRESCAT FLOREATQUE GUESTFALIA ('Guestfalia live, grow and prosper'). Another interpretation is VIVAT CIRCULUS FRATRUM GUESTFALIAE ('Long live the circle of the brothers of the Guestfalia'). The callsign stands for IN AETERNUM and means that the connection has an existing activity with student members.

The stylized G in the middle stands for the name of the connection, Guestfalia. The stylized V in the lower half stands for VIVAT ('live'). The stylized C in the lower part of the middle arch stands for CRESCAT ('grow'). The upper part of the middle arch, together with the line above, forms a stylized F and stands for FLOREAT ('bloom' or 'prosper').

The white ring

The White Ring was a color student interest group within the Cartell Association, which officially existed from 1908 to 1923. In addition to Bavaria Bonn, members were Burgundia Munich, Ripuaria Freiburg im Breisgau and AV Zollern. There were also other sympathetic connections, such as the Guestfalia Tübingen, the Rheno-Palatia Breslau, the Rheno-Franconia Munich and the Marco-Danubia Vienna .

In 1899 the principle of singularity within the Cartell Association was abolished. This was particularly requested by Aenania Munich . Since the Cartell Association, after abandoning this principle, had grown very quickly from only 26 associations to over 80 since the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, the question arose in some of the associations whether it would be advantageous to continue this development or not . In contrast to this, Bavaria developed a very close relationship with the Cartel connections of that time before abandoning the singularity principle, and then a more distant relationship. Bavaria sought contact with a few connections in university locations where Bavaren frequented. A close association developed from this, which was unofficially known as the White Ring.

At the Cartel Assembly in 1912, the Cartel fraternal Du was made mandatory for all members of the Cartel Association. This did not meet with unanimous support because it is customary to speak to you about members of associations of other umbrella organizations . For this reason, Bavaria also refused to refer to completely unknown Cartell brothers. Since a rejection of the Duz-Comment would have resulted in the exclusion of the relevant connections from the Cartell Association, the members of the White Ring decided to use terms on external Cartell brothers, but to address each other with you . Another external distinguishing feature was the wearing of a white carnation.

Guestfalia Tübingen contributed to the efforts that emerged in the Cartell Association from 1920 to abolish the Duz-Comment. The Guestfalia also advocated the three-semester principle in the case of Cartel compulsory, ie a three-semester activity before switching to a Cartell connection.

At the Cartel Assembly in 1923, members of the White Ring were officially banned from the Siez Comment.

Marburg district

Guestfalia Tübingen is a member of the Marburger Kreis, an interest group based on color students of the oldest connections within the Cartell Association (CV). While the Marburger Kreis initially (from 1986 ) came together to support the then weakly staffed VKDSt Rhenania Marburg, nowadays the common endeavor is in the foreground to counteract the decline of couleur student mores and to strengthen the catholicity principle within the CV.

The Marburger Kreis consists of the following member associations:

AV Guestfalia Tübingen (1859)
KDStV Bavaria Bonn (1844)
KDStV Markomannia Würzburg (1871)
KDStV Hercynia Freiburg im Breisgau (1873)
VKDSt Rhenania Marburg (1879)
KDStV Arminia Heidelberg (1887)

The Marburger Kreis organizes a circular ring event every winter semester.
