history

Founding history

The first academic sailing clubs emerged around the turn of the 20th century. The first ASV was the Academic Sailing Association Berlin (1886), later clubs were founded in Munich (1901), Danzig (1904), the ASV zu Greifswald (1908), the ASV in Kiel (1910) as well as in Hamburg and Rostock ( 1919).

The first associations, which were mainly formed at technical universities, viewed themselves as student associations , were not colored and had no scale lengths . The Association of Academic Sailing Associations stood by the so-called black principle . That meant that one rejected the scale length, but gave satisfaction on saber .

In contrast, the first two academic sailing clubs at German universities (the ASV in Greifswald (1908) and the ASV in Kiel (1910)) were not formed as student associations. Since there were already numerous highly frequented student associations in Greifswald and Kiel at that time (some of which also operated their own boats), and consequently most of the students were already active in other ways, they did not want to see themselves as a connection to address as many academics as possible.

Most of them were able to survive the Nazi era relatively unmolested, as they were not viewed by the Nazis as a student union and so did not have to break up like them.

post war period

In the GDR , the clubs in Greifswald and Rostock were dissolved. In line with the ideology of the GDR, university sports associations were established at the two universities , which also included a “sailing section” in Greifswald and Rostock.

After the war, the old clubs were quickly re-established in the west. The ASV in Kiel received the Peter von Danzig of the ASV zu Danzig, who was rescued by its members under fire from the Red Army and overloaded with refugees. In 1961, students founded the Stuttgart Sailing Association. Also in 1961, the Academic Sailing Association of RWTH Aachen University was founded, but admission to the VASV lasted until 1962. The Greifswald ASV was re-established in Lübeck in 1968 by surviving members as "ASV Greifswald zu Lübeck". After 1989, two Academic Sailing Associations (Academic Sailing Association Rostock and Academic Sailing Association Warnemünde) were established in Rostock, with the Academic Sailing Association in Rostock going back to the original association founded in 1919 (legal successor). In Greifswald, the members of the sailing section of the university sports association resigned and founded a new ASV in Greifswald, which, however, claimed the tradition of the former association, which was dissolved in 1945. This led to years of conflict with ASV Greifswald zu Lübeck. There is now a relatively friendly atmosphere.

today

Most of the academic sailing clubs are now organized in the "Association of Academic Sailing Clubs" (VASV). Although this means that a community of values ​​continues to exist between the individual associations, the traditional principles are implemented in very different ways in the member associations.

As a student connection

The ASV Berlin and the ASV in Munich continue to shape the elements of a student association (such as the principle of membership for life and leadership by young students).

As a student sailing club

The opposite pole to this are the ASV-Hamburg, ASV zu Greifswald, the ASV Stuttgart and the Academic Sailing Group Karlsruhe , which see themselves as pure, but student or academic, sailing clubs and do not have any typical connection characteristics.

Youngest club

The youngest ASV is ASV zu Halle, which was founded in Halle an der Saale in 2012 .
