history

founding

In 1734, the Hanover State University of Göttingen, the Georgia Augusta , was founded after planning by the minister and first curator Gerlach Adolph Freiherr von Münchhausen.

In the summer semester of 1883, 1,104 students were enrolled at Georgia Augusta, of which about 150 belonged to the Catholic denomination. Among them were the CV students Franz Graf Matuschka ( Wf ), Josef Kellerhoff ( Bv Bo ), Conrad Hartung ( Hr ), Joseph Kaiser ( Sx ), Johann Schoene (Sx) and Theodor Haas ( Gu ). They were joined by Karl Osthaus and, a little later, Julius Eissner (Gu).

On May 1, 1883, the six men (excluding Haas and Eissner) met in the back room of the “Gebrüder Taverna” student restaurant on Weender Strasse . Kellerhoff requested the immediate establishment of a CV connection, which was unanimously accepted. Afterwards, those present swore their oath of allegiance to Matuschka. Hartong remembers: "After we had rubbed a strong salamander under Matuschka's command for the prosperity of our work and for an eternal vivat, crescat, floreat, Kellerhoff and I were entrusted with drawing up the preliminary statutes." Matuschka became senior of the new association , Kellerhoff Consenior and Secretary. Osthaus held the positions of fox major and cashier. On May 5, 1883, at Haas' request, the connection was named Palatia: a fortified castle for the CV in Göttingen ; At Kellerhoff's suggestion, the colors white - pink - moss green, the fox colors pink - moss green were chosen. A few days later, on May 22nd, 1883, the first Fux was received. On January 1, 1884, Palatia was accepted as a free association in the Cartell Association.

Academic culture war

The Academic Kulturkampf describes the conflict between Catholic and liberal student associations at the beginning of the 20th century in the German Empire and Austria. This emerged in the course of the dispute over the appointment of Catholic scholars at the newly founded University of Strasbourg - at that time part of the German Empire - in 1901. From the Catholic perspective, the dispute appeared as a pure provocation to maintain Protestant dominance at the universities in the Empire and Austria. The AV Palatia also suffered from the consequences of the Kulturkampf, as the student committee refused to be invited to its meetings. In addition, the Palatine were no longer allowed to make candidates for the student committee. The steadily expanding boycott movement against the Palaten and the government's envisaged ban on denominational associations made everyday life extremely difficult. The systematic exclusion from denominational - especially Catholic student associations - went so far that even the local restaurateurs pronounced local bans in favor of the Corps. The negative sentiment against religiously bound connections did not end until ten years later. In 1912/1913, for the first time since the emerging conflicts, a Palate was appointed to the student committee.

First World War

At the beginning of the war, the palates decided to stop wearing colors. In May 1915 it was decided to refrain from serving bars as well. A total of 168 pallets took part in the First World War , 23 of which fell.

Time during National Socialism

Franz Voss

In 1932 the Cartell Assembly decided that simultaneous membership in the CV and the NSDAP was incompatible as long as German bishops condemned National Socialism. In the course of the Reich Concordat , however, the resolution was repealed. In 1933 the AV Palatia celebrated its 50th foundation festival. A year later, the association's leadership dropped the catholicity principle from the CV. In the course of this, both the Palatia and the Palaten House Association were dissolved. On March 3, 1938, the AH-Verband was obliged to join the NS-Altherrenbund. However, Franz Voss refused this for the Palatia. Due to the political situation, the Palatia celebrated its 55th foundation festival in Bremke. To the chagrin of all present, the Gestapo appeared and forbade further meetings. As a result of the Second World War , another 20 pallets fell.

Re-establishment and the time after World War II

In 1945, after the end of the war, the Catholic Student Community (KSG) was founded. On November 8th the group held the first ordinary convention according to the old statutes. This date is considered to be the re-establishment date of the Academic Association Palatia Göttingen. The initial membership of seven people soon rose to 19 members. The center of the white-pink-moss-green boys was again the Palatenhaus at Lotzestrasse 44. Just one year later, the AH-Verband Palatiae was re-established under the leadership of AH-Seniors Franz Voss. The Palatenhausverein was re-established as a result. On June 16, 1951, Count Ballestrem's son, Valentin, transferred the Palatenhaus back to the association. From 1952 to 1983 the AV Palatia was renamed to KDStV Palatia Göttingen. In the meantime the Franz-Voss-Studentenhausverein eV was founded.

The current membership is 303 people.

Coat of arms and principles

Former coat of arms

The coat of arms of the Palatia consists of a shield on which a knight's helmet is enthroned. The shield is divided into four parts, in the middle is the circle of the palatia on the connecting colors. The four parts represent the following motifs: at the top left the Rhine Palatinate in the blue Rhine near Kaub (Amicitia), which symbolizes the connection name. At the bottom left a silver paw cross on a green background (Religio), whereas a jumping horse is shown on a red background (Patria) at the top right. At the bottom right you can see an owl (Scientia) sitting on a rolled up piece of paper. The knight's helmet is silver-colored with gold fittings. On the lid sits a crown from which a plume of ostrich feathers twines in the connecting colors. The coat of arms was divided into three parts, dispensing with the owl, from the 1920s until well into the 1970s.

Color

Palate occiput

The Göttinger Palaten-Bursch wears the colors white-pink-moss-green with silver percussion . In addition, he is dressed in a moss green back of the head with the boyish colors. The foxes of the Palatia, on the other hand, are pink-moss green. The occiput of the foxes, however, does not differ from that of the boys. The motto is "Fortiter et Constanter" (brave and steadfast).

Prohibition and re-approval of colors

A physical dispute between Corps students and Palaten, as a result of an attack by two students of the Corps Bremensia on the keynote speaker at the 1887 Publication Festival , Franz Driessen, on June 26th in the German Garden triggered a ban on colors . The judiciary committee sentenced the Bremen people to fourteen days, the Palaten to eight days in prison . The judiciary committee, which was assisted by the anti-Catholic theology professor and Vice-Rector Ritschl , withdrew Palatia from the colors for three semesters because they had given "cause for provocation" with their appearance at the publication festival. Failure to do so could result in the corporation being dissolved.

It was not until December 1, 1888 that the new Vice Rector Ehrenberg lifted the color ban. Those charged had to promise "not to make the resumption of the Couleur a festive public event". The Palaten went to church in Couleur on the following Sunday. It was decided from now on to commemorate the recovery of the colors through a federal festival.

The general unpopularity of the AV Palatia at the time with the Göttingen corporations became very clear when they boycotted a dance event to which Palatia had also appeared.

Göttingen riots

As a result of the Göttingen riots , a clash between Göttingen fraternity students and members of the National Socialist German Student Union (NSDStB), the connection was suspended on July 12, 1934 by the rector of the university. The measure was lifted on July 18 at the end of the semester.

In 1922 the Palate Nikolaus Graf Ballestrem acquired the "Lindenkrug" for 450,000 marks. The building in Lotzestrasse was used as a train station for the Gartetalbahn . In February 1923, the house became the property of the Palatenhausverein, which was founded in 1905, in return for reimbursement of cost. During the Second World War, the association and the Palatenhausverein were dissolved. In 1936 the house was returned to Count Ballestrem. After the war, the Palatenhausverein was re-established on November 17, 1946. The son of Nikolaus Graf Ballestrem, who was killed in the war, gave the palace back to the association.

In 1969 the old Lindenkrug was demolished because it was in disrepair and replaced by a student residence. The new house was ready for occupancy in the 1970/71 winter semester. Opposite the old house, the new building offers 18 instead of five student rooms. The modern interior and the large amount of space gained resulted in the AV Palatia, in addition to its steadily increasing number of members, transferring some rooms to FAV Rheno-Guestfalia Hann from 1970 to 1982 . Münden sublet, which until then existed without its own connection house.
