The AKV (Academic Comment Association) Rauracia is a colored student association of the University of Basel and the Basel Music Academy . It was founded in 1863 as the Basel section of the Swiss Student Association and is a member of the Association of Academic Commentary Links ( Block ).

History of the AKV Rauracia

Establishment of the Basel section

Although the StVer had already enrolled at the University of Basel earlier, it was not until the winter semester 1862/63 that a founding quartet came together under the leadership of Isidor Dahinden, with the other members Friedrich Germann, Adolf Zürcher and Josef Eisenring to found the Basel section . In contrast to the other Basel connections, Helvetia and Zofingia , they deliberately did not wear any colors.

After the founding members Dahinden and Zürcher moved to Bern, where they founded the Bern section , later AKV Burgundia , in 1865 , the Basel section went under for a short time. After the re-establishment on November 25, 1866, the section, in contrast to the first establishment, now had detailed statutes and a penal index. During this time the basis of the liaison policy was established.

In the years 1870/71 there was a profound structural change within the Basel section. For the first time, a distinction was made between boys and foxes within the section and an official pub comment was introduced in 1871. The foxes had no voting rights until 1877 and were not allowed to wear any colors in the first quarter of their entry. At the same time, the recognition of the rain by the University of Basel arrived.

In 1872 the Basel section vehemently preserved the red color for the StV, which wanted to exchange the red color for green to differentiate it from Helvetia (Schw. Waffenring). In the same year it became the first colored academic section in the Schw. StV. and from now on wore the red lady's hat and the dark red-white-green ribbon that was worn over the gilet. It was not until 1878 that the section, as the first connection in the Schw. StV, introduced the striker to distinguish it from Helvetia.

Since the Swiss flag for Kommerse had to be borrowed from Helvetia Friburgensis beforehand, the first flag consecration took place on January 14, 1872. On this occasion it was decided to accept Protestants and thus officially advocated the idea of ​​positive Christianity in a patriotic association. This meant the union of all believing Christians (Protestants and Catholics) against atheism and the "demons of the times". Since this conviction was also only shared by the Lucerne and Bern sections within the StV, it could not find any dissemination, especially after the Bern section withdrew from the Schw. StV at the GV 1870 for this reason. The situation came to a head at the GV 1873 in Zug. Although the assembly rejected the Chur section's proposal to expel every Old Catholic member from the association, it decided that it goes without saying that the association is Catholic. While half of the Basel section left the association immediately after the decision, the remaining members of the section continued to fight. On July 8, 1874, the members of the Basel section resigned from the Schw. StV.

Although the Fechtboden was regularly visited by the Basel Section , no case is known where a member took part in a mensur. The scale ban within the Schw. StV was only issued in 1876, after the re-entry of the Basel section into the Schw. StV, at the joint request of the Würzburg and Basel sections.

Aktivitas of the AKV Rauracia 1899

As part of the revision of the central statutes, the Basel section submitted an application to the GV 1878 to rename the Schw. StV in Waldstättia or Suitia, since on the one hand with the decision to consider itself a Catholic association, 3/5 of the Swiss population would not be able to join the Schw. StV was excluded, and thus not all Swiss had access to the Schw. StV, on the other hand, the foreign sections were always forced to fall back on the conflicting name of Helvetia. The application was rejected, instead the entire association granted its sections the concession to create their own association name at will.

The Rauracia until 1914

The Basel section was then "re-established" on November 22nd, 1878 and from then on defined itself as the "Catholic color-bearing association Rauracia". This made the Rauracia the first academic StVer association under its own name. At the same time, the Rauracher circle and the connecting motto “Pro Deo et Patria!” Were introduced. On the occasion of its first foundation festival on January 5, 1879, on Epiphany, the Rauracia wore its current colors for the first time.

In 1884 the Alt-Rauracia was founded by Alt-Raurachern, which became the first Alt-Herrenverband in Schw. StV at all and was intended to serve as an impetus and model for other associations to found their own old manors. In the winter semester 87/88 the second flag consecration took place in the Marienkirche. The flag was a gift from the Catholic women of Basel. As a thank you, the first Rauracherball took place in Cafe Spitz. In 1899, on the 36th foundation festival of the Rauracia, a delegation of today's friendship association KDSt.V. Arminia in Freiburg im Breisgau appears. In the same year, a Rauracher delegation attended the Arminia Foundation Festival in Freiburg.

Due to a request to the AC, AKV Rauracia took over the sponsorship on the occasion of the 2nd flag consecration of the GV Suitia in 1902. In 1913, the 50th foundation festival was celebrated in Clara Church with the third consecration of the flag. At the same time, an endowment fund was set up in order to be able to donate a bust of the university's founder Pope Pius II to the university in due course . On August 1, 1914, the farewell tribe took place before active service in the First World War . The life of connections often came to a complete standstill during the First World War as a result of active service.

Interwar period

At the beginning of the interwar period, the Rauracher experience was rather calm. The tribes revived and glamorous events such as balls were organized again. At the beginning of the 20s, however, one had to deal with problems with young talent, as numerous couleurists who came to Basel did not want to take on the time or financial burden. In the 30s, however, one could reap the fruits of intensive efforts and so the Rauracia experienced "the prime of the 1930s" with its peak in the winter semester 1935/36, when the AKV Rauracia consisted of fifty active members. Also in the thirties, in the winter semester of 1931/32, the regular move to today's local restaurant, the Löwenzorn restaurant.

With the 75th anniversary in 1938, the fourth flag was raised by his grace Dr. Francis von Streng (Bishop of Basel and Lugano 1937–1967) consecrated.

1939: Spin-off of AV Froburger

The year 1938 was already overshadowed by the threat that spread from the German Reich to all of Europe. A year later, the Rauracia had to wage its own little war, in which the connection was in the right, but lost to the entire StV: On March 5, 1939 it became known that a second StV connection was on the Basel square , the AV Froburger, was founded. Two foxes of the Rauracia (Walliser v / o Knirps and Gürtler v / o Bitter), which had only left the connection in January, founded the new company with the help of the then Central President (CP) Sallin and the AV Welfen without prior knowledge on the part of the Rauracia completed. CP Sallin in particular played a highly dubious role in this matter. On April 11, 1939, the AV Froburger was approved by the CC and confirmed again retrospectively at the GV Friborg in July 1940. The Rauracia fought vehemently against this second road connection on the Basel square and was awarded its rights in individual points. The fact of this re-establishment had to be accepted, even if much had been dealt with in secret and without the knowledge of the Rauracia.

Post-war until today

At the beginning of the war, various utensils, including the cash register and the flag, were evacuated from Kleinbasel to Grossbasel. During the war, the life of communion took on more modest forms, also taking into account the circumstances in Switzerland and in neighboring countries. In the winter semester of 1954/55 there was an official reconciliation with AV Froburger. In 1963 the Rauracia celebrated its 100th anniversary and a major revision of the comment took place. In the winter semester of 1972/73, the Rauracia ceased to wear its colors at the university as the last link between the Basel square. Three years later, in 1976, the Rauracherkeller, which is still in use today, was inaugurated at Petersgasse 23.

In 1988, in the course of the 125th anniversary, they traveled to Rome, where the papal banner for the 7th Rauracher flag was donated by His Holiness as part of a private audience with Pope John Paul II . In order to finally eliminate the perennial problems with tenants of the regular premises, AKV Rauracia and AT Alemannia bought the Löwenzorn restaurant on Gemsberg in 1996 through a joint stock company founded in advance. The parent company of both connections, as well as many other events, still take place in this location today. A year later, Rauracia took over the sponsorship of GV Munatia, which was founded in 1991. As part of the 550th anniversary of the University of Basel, a large color ball was organized under the direction of the Raurach old philistine senior Brunner v / o Juan at the Basel Exhibition Center, in which Basel's connections took part.

Premises

In addition to the Löwenzorn restaurant on Gemsberg in downtown Grossbasel and the Rauracherkeller in the Ringelhof, AKV Rauracia also has two further archive and batch rooms in the Borromäum.

Rauracherkeller in the Ringelhof

Today's property with the name Ringelhof at Petersgraben 23 in downtown Grossbasel (in state ownership since 1936) grew out of three properties originally: "Haus Butenheim", "Haus Museck" and "Sigberts Haus". The first documentary mention takes place in the 14th century. The name Ringelhof goes back to the mayor of Basel, Johann W. Ringler, who inherited the property from his father-in-law Cristoforo d'Annone in 1598.

Among the owners of the Ringelhof (and, before that, the "House of Butenheim") was none other than Hans von Flachslanden , to whom the city of Basel owes both the founding of the university in 1460 and, indirectly, the fair rights: In 1459, Hans v . Flachslanden a second time to the papal court, to the bull of Piccolomini-Pope Pius II to found the University of Basel and a letter of recommendation, in which Emperor Friedrich III. was requested to grant Basel the right to trade fairs, i.e. to raise the city to the same rank as the trade fair cities of Frankfurt am Main and Nördlingen. The latter did not happen until Mayor Hans von Bärenfels in 1471.

In the search for a suitable location, a lease agreement was finally signed between the city of Basel and AKV Rauracia on July 1, 1975, and the Rauracherkeller was officially opened on December 3, 1976. The Rauracherkeller is generally available to the public during the Basel Carnival and, on request, can also be outsourced for meetings and celebrations of all kinds.

The Rauracherkeller is organized by a cooperative and is operated by a cellar landlord.

Science and Research

Engagement in the StV and block

The AKV Rauracia is one of those connections of the Swiss Student Association that, in contrast to AKV Alemannia , AKV Neu-Romania or SA Sarinia, was only rarely involved and is still reluctant to make active personal contributions to the entire association. Nevertheless, in some personalities, the deep connection and the will to help shape it is evident.

The AKV Rauracia appointed the Central President (CP) nine times, the Vice Central President (VCP) three times, the Central Actuary (CA) eleven times, and other members of the Central Committee (CC and CK) 15 times in the respective Central Committee of the Schw. StV.
