history

root

The roots of the singers go back to the 1820s. Initially as a loose association, students met to make music together.

Around 1828, under the leadership of theology student Salomo Burckhardt, several students founded the "Academic Singing Association" (ASV), from which in 1832, after merging with the "Academic Music Association" (AMV) of Professor Ferdinand Hand, the "Academic Singing Association" (AGV) emerged. All of these archetypes were "academic associations", that is, they were under the protection and supervision of the university. After the death of Hands, who succeeded Burckhardt as director of the association and after the repeal of the Karlsbad resolutions , the association lost a large number of members from 1851. In 1857 the association was adjourned for the first time.

New beginning

In 1861 the AGV was re-founded by the student Otto Stark and 18 other students. Again they placed themselves under the suzerainty of the university. The curator of the Moritz Seebeck University became honorary president and the university music director. Ernst Naumann takes over the musical direction. The newly founded association was structured more tightly from the beginning and was more based on the connections that were allowed again. There is a member assembly in which all decisions are made, participation in AGV events becomes mandatory for members under threat of exclusion. At the same time, this differentiates oneself from the existing corps and fraternities , some of whose members were initially also members of the AGV. This creates a more pronounced self-image, which will make Paul (this name is worn from the 1860s in memory of the rehearsal location, the St. Pauli University Church) in the next few years. As a result, the association takes colors as a distinguishing mark for the first time. At the beginning (around 1870) these are blue-white-blue, but they are only carried in a blue cap. In addition, contact is made with similar associations in nearby university locations ( AGV Paulus Lipsiensis and AGV Fridericiana Halle ) and the Altenburg cartel is founded with them. The old gentlemen's association as a supporter association for active singers was established in 1878. From 1881 it published its own "AH-Zeitung". Also at this time one begins actively to fencing and to give satisfaction to heavy weapons (sabers). After all, from 1880, full couleur (ribbon and cap) was worn.

cleavage

After disputes with other Jena connections about the choice of colors, these were changed to blue-white-red in 1881. At the same time, the name was changed to “ Landsmannschaft Rhenania Jena ” and the principle of duty was accepted with absolute satisfaction. Some members who did not like this principle resigned from the Bund and founded a new Pauline AGV, which, however, saw itself in the tradition of the previously existing one of the same name.

Paul, now again as a "black" association, is returning under the protection of the university. The greater part of the old men declared their support for the AGV.

From 1881, however, there was an increasing emancipation, which culminated in 1885 when the university was separated from the university and renamed the "Pauliner Student Choral Society".

From association to connection

In the following decades up to the beginning of the 20th century, the association was completely transformed into an academic association. The full color in the colors still used today is laid out, a federal newspaper is published and cartels are founded (Rudelsburger Kartellverein, RKV).

In 1901 the first own house at Forstweg 24 (former “Bismarckhöhe” inn) is purchased. With the amalgamation of several cartels (including the RKV), the “Chargierter Convent” emerged, from which the “German Singership” later emerged. This gives the recommendation to its members to uniformly call themselves "singers". Paul also followed this recommendation and called himself from 1906 "Sängerschaft zu St. Pauli"

In 1928 the Paulinerhaus on Forstweg was rebuilt and the centenary was celebrated. The commemorative publication “A hundred years of an idea and its reality” appears.

When the National Socialists came to power , Paul was initially “brought into line”. The leader principle was introduced and finally one is united with the ATV Gothania to the comradeship "Friedrich Schiller". Both associations initially continued their traditions in secret, until the singers finally announced their dissolution in 1936. The corporation house at Forstweg 24 in Jena was taken over by the Germanic Museum of the University of Jena .

New beginning in exile

Immediately after the end of the Second World War, there are first contacts between former members. The first major meeting of former Paulines took place in Hamburg in 1952. The old gentlemen's association is re-established and it is decided to reintroduce active operations. Due to the political situation in eastern Germany, it is decided to continue in exile. In 1957 the union with the former Wroclaw singers “Burgundia” to form the “ Sängerschaft zu St. Pauli Jena et Burgundia Breslau ” in Münster. It is decided to return to the "home" Jena as soon as possible.

Rebuilding in Jena

The house of the singers in Jenergasse, which has been inhabited since 1999

After the political change in the autumn of 1989, the singing community was re-established in Jena in June 1990. Local elderly gentlemen are supported by individual Pauliners from Münster. However, the singers in Münster decided to stay there.

Aktivitas is re-established in 1991. She is immediately accepted as a full member by the umbrella organization “German Singers”. In 1994 a new house at Jenergasse 14 was bought after an unsuccessful attempt to get back the old Paulinerheim am Forstweg. This new Paulinerheim was inaugurated in 1999. Also in 1999 one takes over the chairmanship of the German singers for the first time.

Two friendships were established within the German singers: in 1999 with the Gotia et Baltia Kiel singers in Göttingen and in 2001 with the former members of the Holsatia Hamburg singers, which several Pauliner were involved in in 1919.

External relations

The foreign relations of the singers are partly based on official contracts, partly on close relationships that have arisen in recent years. There is a friendship relationship concluded in 1999 with the singers Gotia et Baltia Kiel zu Göttingen, which includes mutual visits and facilitated membership in the other federation. There is a tradition and friendship contract signed in 2001 with the old gentlemen's association of the singers Holsatia Hamburg, which was postponed in 1995. This obliges the singers of St. Pauli to maintain the tradition of the Holsatia and both connections to regular visits.

In addition, there are traditionally good relationships with the relatively nearby singers Fridericiana Halle and Franco-Palatia Bayreuth . In the recent past a cross bar for the Central German singers has established itself between these.

In Jena, the singers maintain a closer relationship, especially with the KDStV Salana Jenensis, founded in 1983, and with the “root connection” Landsmannschaft Rhenania Jena .

Constants and houses

The first events and rehearsals probably took place on the university premises (especially in the “Kollegienhof” university building). After the solution from the university, inns in the surrounding villages ("beer villages") were used, as is usual in Jena.

In the years between the world wars, the “Rabe” inn in the Neugasse is proven to be a regular inn.

After reunification, they first met in the “Quergasse No.1” inn. This is still used today as a place for the weekly get-together. A plaque at the inn indicates that this is the “constant of the S! To St. Pauli “is. Until the inauguration of the new house, events were also held regularly in the “Zum Ziegenhainer” inn.

At the beginning of the 20th century, the Jena excursion restaurant "Bismarckhöhe" was bought and converted into the first own house. There was room for about 20 students here, and there were also large common rooms such as bowling alleys, pub rooms, salons and the like. On the occasion of the hundredth foundation festival in 1928, the house was expanded to include a rotunda and a balcony above. The credit required for the renovation and the poor economic situation in the late 1920s led to the homeowners' cooperative becoming overindebted and finally selling the house to the university in 1936.

After the end of the GDR, attempts were initially made to get the house back from the university. The Thuringian state office for the regulation of open property issues decided, however, that the sale would not take place under duress and that there was therefore no expropriation. A buyback from the university was not possible from a financial point of view. At the beginning of the 21st century the house was sold to a private investor and is now used as an apartment building.

The vaulted cellar of the Paulinerheim

After the first "Paulinerheim" was no longer available, it was decided in 1994 to buy the "Körnerei" (named after the builders and long-term owners, the Körner family).

The entire building was completely renovated by 1999. From the opening in 1999, the building offers 15 students study apartments, as well as common rooms.

Especially because of the vaulted cellar, part of the former Jena city fortifications, the house is one of the most beautiful connecting houses in Jena.
