The Igel Academic Association is a student association at the Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen that has existed since 1871 .

Color

The AV hedgehog is non-striking, as a black compound non-colored and also has no colors , but only has the "mocking colors" black-gray, mouse-gray and silver-gray. This has to do with the story of the hedgehog, which was established as a connection to ridicule other connections with their rituals and colors. Since the hedgehog has no real colors and wants to express this detachment from a normal connection, there is no flag in its colors on its roof mast, but always the flag of the highest political order (until the 1990s the German flag , since around 1995 the European flag ). The hedgehog is politically and religiously neutral.

The AV Igel is no longer a member of any umbrella organization or the like. In 1952 the hedgehog was a founding member of the Wernigeroder Black Association (WSR), which in 1973 joined the Miltenberger Ring (MR) to form the Miltenberger-Wernigeroder-Ring (MWR). At the end of the 1980s the hedgehog left the Miltenberger-Wernigeroder-Ring.

The connection sees itself as a bond of friendship and a community for life. His mottos are hedgehogs be it Panier and Telorum aeterna seges ("Eternal the seed of the thorns").

The connecting house ( 48 ° 31 '8.1 "  N , 9 ° 2' 51.7"  O ) of the AV hedgehog was in the Schlossbergstraße built in 1902nd In the 1960s, a comprehensive extension or renovation was carried out through which, among other things, the entrance area was redesigned. The original hood floor had to give way to two active rooms and today's café room.

The house was completely renovated in 2002 on the occasion of the centenary and today combines modern comfort with traditional interiors. The café room, vestibule and the main entrance were redesigned and renovated in 2014/15 with implementation of fire protection regulations.
