The first years in Hall

On October 16, 1901, the three students Josef Wolf, Jakob Moser and Ferdinand von Trentinaglia founded the “Academic Association Vindelicia” in their place of residence, Hall. Karl Dietl joined them a little later. All of the four founding boys had been active in the Catholic middle school association Sternkorona (founded in 1888) during their high school years and had the ambition to create a Catholic society for students from Haller at the University of Innsbruck. At the beginning of the 20th century there were some graduate and academic associations in Hall: The table society "Academia" founded by German-free corporations was opposed to the "Association of former Hall students", a predecessor of the Philistine Association of the Star Corona. The Catholic academic table society "Halesia" had existed since 1900, of which Josef Wolf was also a member. Efforts to transform Halesia from a looser form into a student union met with resistance, which is why a new attempt was made with the establishment of the "Vindelicia".

Even before the official association founding the founding fellows organized under the title "The patriotic student of Hall" on the occasion of the 71st birthday of Emperor Franz Joseph I . an imperial celebration in Hall. The mood of the population of Hall towards the impending establishment of an academic association was also explored. The success of the imperial celebration was of great importance for Vindelicia’s first years.

After it was founded, Vindelicia was supported by the citizens of Hall such as the mayor Theodor von Kathrein and the parish priest Matthäus Knöpfler. According to the then valid Association Act of 1867, the association was formed with the written submission of the statutes to the association authority. When academic associations were founded, until 1938 the association authority always asked the Rectorate of Innsbruck University whether the academic senate had any concerns from the standpoint of academic disciplinary regulations. Academic recognition was assured, but the university refused to wear the three colors pink-gold-blue, which is why a compromise was found: Until the approval from the Imperial and Royal Lieutenancy Innsbruck on August 19, 1906, Vindelicia wore a pink-gold-red ribbon . Also in 1906, the Vindelicia academic association was granted access to the University of Innsbruck. In 1922 this was expanded. The association's flag was inaugurated on October 30, 1910. It was made by the sculptor Josef Bachlechner d. Ä. designed, who had already become an honorary member of the Vindelicia on July 7, 1910.

From academic association to connection

The life of communion was severely affected by the First World War . In 1919, active operations could be resumed, and on May 27, 1920 it was decided to convert from an academic, color-bearing association into a public, color-bearing association. The change of name and statutes of the "Catholic German Student Union Vindelicia" were celebrated in November 1920 with a "Foundation Festival and Publication Festival".

With the transformation of the association into a connection, Vindelicia hoped to soon be accepted into the Cartell Association (CV), which at that time still comprised Austria and Germany . However, this failed due to the resistance of the Innsbruck Cartell Association, which denied the viability of a fourth CV connection on Innsbruck academic soil. In addition, there was the objection of the AV Raeto-Bavaria because of the similar red color of the student hats . After four failed applications for admission in 1921, 1922, 1923 and 1924, Vindelicia decided not to attempt any further advances to the CV. The desire for a merger with other like-minded corporations remained and was realized with the entry into the "Ring Catholic-German Fraternities" (RKDB) founded in 1924. In January 1927 Vindelicia changed into a "Catholic German fraternity" and decided to move to Innsbruck , which took place in March of the same year.

Vindelicia in the RKDB

On June 10, 1927, Vindelicia became a full ring compound. The association saw itself as an amalgamation of color-bearing, non-striking, Catholic associations. Within the RKDB, Vindelicia played a prominent role: it was the largest Catholic fraternity in Austria, the second strongest within the ring and twice provided the suburb, which is why the 7th ring conference was held in Innsbruck in 1931.

At the beginning of the 1930s, the National Socialists began to conquer the universities and soon took over the management of the German student body. Student corporations and associations in Germany and Austria also came increasingly under National Socialist influence. Above all through the beating fraternities , while the Catholic corporations, namely the CV, kept their distance from National Socialism. On May 10, 1933, Vindelicia excluded eleven National Socialist members who founded the Catholic-German Burschenschaft Lützow Innsbruck that same year. The KDB Lützow was dissolved in 1934 due to its close ties to the NSDAP and its National Socialist activities. Other corporations, such as the Grazer Ringburschenschaften, showed a different attitude towards the exclusion of National Socialists from the connections. When Vindelicia demanded the exclusion of the Grazer Ringburschenschaften from the RKDB at the 11th ring conference in 1933 due to National Socialist attitudes, it came to a rift with the association. On June 14, 1933, Vindelicia was excluded from the RKDB.

Vindelicia in the ÖCV

In the Cartell Association, too, there was a rift about its position on National Socialism and as a result of the harmonization that followed . The Austrian connections left and on July 10, 1933 founded the independent Austrian Cartell Association . The political situation spoke in favor of closer ties between patriotic and Austrian ties and pushed earlier rivalries into the background. On December 9, 1933, Vindelicia was added as the 27th ÖCV connection, where it became a full connection in March 1935.

On the evening of the day Chancellor Schuschnigg resigned on March 11, 1938, the houses of the two oldest and largest Innsbruck connections, AV Austria and KÖHV Leopoldina , were occupied by the SA. On the night of the Anschluss, the Vindelikers burned a large part of their written material in the booth in Anichstrasse and hidden connection material and documents such as membership registers and protocols at federal brothers. The connection was temporarily banned on March 13, 1938, the property was confiscated by the NSDAP and the booth was occupied by the Nazi women's group. The formal dissolution of the Catholic student associations and their associations followed in June 1938 through the announcement of the GeStaPo . Vindelicia was permanently deleted from the register of associations on October 20, 1938.

Among the Vindelikers, some of whom were exposed to discrimination and persecution under the brown tyranny, the liaison member Walter Krajnc v / o Fulk made the worst sacrifice. After he had refused to take part in hostage shootings as a member of the Wehrmacht in France, his contacts with the French Resistance began. Thereupon he was sentenced to death by the court martial and executed by shooting on July 29, 1944.

After 1945

During the National Socialist rule, despite the forced dissolution of the Vindelicia, contact between the federal brothers did not break off. The official resumption of the liaison activities took place on September 22, 1945, with a decision of October 15, 1946, the official approval was given. Initially, Vindelicia used the term "Catholic Austrian University Association Vindelicia", later the name was changed to the current form, the "Academic Association". Immediately after the war, Vindelicia's patronage association, AKV Kyburger Zürich, made a major contribution to the internal development of the association through gifts, food deliveries, vacation stays and donations. In 1993 the bands were exchanged. Since Vindelicia’s 50th foundation festival, there has also been close contact with the older and larger West German namesake, the KDStV Vindelicia, with which a friendship has existed since 1969.

In 1955, the Vindelicia academic association moved into its current clubhouse at 35 Innrain.

Merger with Vindemia Feldkirch

In 1976, Vindeliker Ivo Fischer , then chairman of the Vorarlberg Altherrenlandesbund, founded the Catholic Austrian Academic Association Vindemia Feldkirch in Feldkirch. The association for students of the Pedagogical Academy (today the Vorarlberg University of Education ) also became a member of the ÖCV in 1977. It had its own ladies' circle, but did not accept women, who made up about two thirds of the students at the "Pädak", as full members. In 1981 Vindelicia merged with Vindemia after it was suspended.

Vindelicia's statute for women

Already in the first semester of color, in the winter semester of 1901/02, Vindelicia had a women's pile. This was founded on March 11, 1902 through the donation of a trophy by five women from Halle. As the Aktivitas grew, so did the women's florets, which consisted of the sisters of the active friars, the daughters of the old men and the so-called guest ladies. The women took part in selected events of the association and organized their own "rematch events". But the couleur ladies also played a role in everyday club life: Vindelicia's first boyish strophe about the pink-gold-red colors comes from one of the "founding women ", Maria von Stadl, who became a flag godmother in 1910 . Even during Vindelicia's membership in the RKDB, the women's pile was retained. Since 1931 the couleur ladies have had their own ladies' stanza, which was composed by the Tyrolean writer Anton Müller (brother Willram) . This stanza was later replaced by a new one.

In 1978, the existing women's pile was converted into a women's statute under ÖCV law. As one of the first connections of the ÖCV, Vindelicia gave Catholic Innsbruck students the opportunity to become active with this addition to the rules of procedure. The women's statute recognizes the neo-lady as a counterpart to the fox, the couleur lady for the boy and the lady of honor for the old man. Women wear the club colors in the shape of a wine ribbon. Due to the establishment of the women's statute, which does not make women full members of the association, Vindelicia is not a mixed association .
