history

The Academic Wehr Münster was founded in autumn 1919 by Hubert Naendrup , who later became the rector of the Westphalian Wilhelms University . The group was located in the environment of the German student body and the German National People's Party . The formation was used in the Kapp Putsch . The most important task of the 750-strong Freikorps in the Ruhr uprising in March 1920 was to secure train stations and bridges around Münster against rebellious Ruhr workers.

The weir consisted of three battalions . The 1st battalion consisted of military students and was led by Egon Treeck , the second consisted of members of the Catholic corporations and the third battalion consisted of the remaining students under the leadership of the future pastor and resistance fighter Martin Niemöller . The Münster Wingolf was part of the III. Battalions. On April 23, 1920, after the Ruhr area had been secured, it was dissolved again.
