The Academic Commentary Association Alemannia is a section of the Swiss Student Union (SchwStV) at the University of Friborg and is colored red-white-green.
history
With the establishment of the Catholic University of Friborg by the three members of the Swiss Student Union, George Python , Gaspard Mermillod and Caspar Decurtins, in 1889, Romania was also the first university association of the Swiss Student Union in Friborg in Üechtland . The motto “Romania unit Helvetos” indicated the bilingual nature of the connection. Internal tensions between the German-speaking members and the representatives of French -speaking Switzerland led to a separation. The two new connections SA Sarinia and AKV Alemannia emerged from the parent connection Romania in 1895. The name Alemannia, which the young association has given itself, is intended to illustrate the linguistic affiliation of the members.
The history of the connection is also the history of the only slightly older university. Back then, it was a brave act to profess to be a Catholic university, as the Swiss higher education system had so far been clearly evangelical and the aftermath of the 1840s, and in particular the Sonderbund War, were far from over. One year after it was founded, the theologians of Alemannia split off and founded their own section, the AV Leonina. In the decade of the 20th century the connection went through its first phase of serious probation. A dispute arose within the association regarding the expression of color-student forms and the comment. In this way, reform tendencies developed in the Alemannic ranks, as could be observed in most university sections. This internal disagreement finally led to a schism in 1918, which resulted in the establishment of the reform association AV Fryburgia from former Alemanni. Thanks to the new, clear line, the connection emerged stronger from the separation. The twenties and thirties were marked by a further, successful establishment of the connection both inside and outside. In 1938 the number of members of the AKV Alemannia grew so enormously that the liaison operation was affected, until it was finally decided to found another subsidiary. From this separation the AKV Neu-Romania emerged, which also exists to this day.
The University of Freiburg has always been an international institution. In the 1930s, when fascism and National Socialism became socially acceptable in Germany, Italy and other countries, a number of students from these and other countries also studied in Freiburg. Since certain of these students apparently wanted to spread fascist and National Socialist ideas among the student body, a rally against the spread of these ideologies was organized on the Freiburg town hall square under Alemannic leadership on November 30, 1938. In a resolution in all four national languages, the participants recorded the following content:
“The students of the University of Freiburg i.Üe., gathered on the historic town hall square near the Murtenlinde, inspired by love and loyalty to the Swiss fatherland and its democratic and Christian institutions, proud of its glorious past and its great traditions, with full awareness of the difficult The dangers to which the people and the country are currently exposed through the propagation of foreign and non-Swiss ideas are met by the following resolution from the iron will to defend the security of our state: You advocate that traditional Switzerland. Hospitality will continue to be granted. On the other hand, they demand:
- That foreigners do not interfere in Swiss political conditions.
- That any propaganda of non-Swiss ideas would be avoided.
- That professors and students who are guilty of such activities will be excluded from Swiss universities. "
During the Second World War, the connection had to cease operations due to the general mobilization of the Swiss Army. The election of old man Ludwig von Moos to the Federal Council can certainly be described as one of the highlights of the 1950s . At the end of the 1960s, Alemannia had to adapt to the social change that this time brought with it. Above all, “wearing colors” at the university was abolished. From 1977 onwards, the connection also opened up to Reformed students, as admission was previously only reserved for Catholics.
In 1995 the Alemannia celebrated its centenary with a big and well-known festival.
The Alemannic House
In 1961 the old gentlemen founded the Alemannenhaus cooperative, which immediately acquired the Touring restaurant on Freiburg's Lausannegasse. The Alemannenhaus , including the sun terrace with a view of the Freiburg Cathedral, as well as the Carnotzet , which is well known in fraternity circles , are the linchpin of fraternity .
Connected life today
Today Alemannia has between 30 and 40 active members and 400 old men who come from all regions of German-speaking Switzerland. The membership consists of students and graduates from all faculties. Students from the law, philosophy, economics and social science faculties are strongly represented. The AKV Alemannia is one of the main connections of the Swiss Student Union, with 76 representatives it has the most members for the Central Committee. Among them are 19 Alemanni who were able to lead the entire association as central president.
Comment connection
The comment includes the rules according to which people interact with each other in the connection circle. An important cornerstone is civil decency. In Komment is executed as (Fr .: comment ) must behave in a Alemanne in various situations of couleur student life. This includes the rules for official pubs and Kommersen , but also for normal tribes, as well as for so-called charging in churches and at festivals. It also regulates how the colors are worn.
Block connection
The block is made up since 1986 from the academic connections AKV Rauracia , AKV Burgundia , AKV Alemannia, AKV Kyburgs , AV Bodania , AKV New Romania and AV Turicia together. The primary goal of this federation is to protect and support the interests of Schw. StV , to support and shape them.
The friendship among these seven connections does not only exist on paper, but leads to a lively exchange and increased networking among their members. Events such as the block tournament, the Blockkommers, the Blockfuxenweekend, G8, the block torch relay, regular block conferences, and the internal information organ (“block message”) consolidate these close relationships. With the two Freiburg connections Alemannia and Neu-Romania, the federal government has the two connections that have by far the most members for the Central Committee.
Flags of the AKV Alemannia
The AKV Alemannia flag is carried on most major events. But also at every funeral of a member a flag delegation is sent to pay the last respects to the deceased. In the history of the connection so far, AKV Alemannia was able to call six flags its own. The fabric and technology of the flag were always new, but the basic colors, motto and ideals have always remained the same.
