Old-Gentlemen-Seniors-Convent

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Old Men Seniors Convents (AHSC) are local and regional associations of old men from different corps of the Kösener Seniors Convents Association (KSCV). Since 1921, members of the Weinheim Senior Citizens' Convention (WSC) can also be accepted into an AHSC.

Memberships

While in the actual old men’s associations (AHV) only old men of the same corps are members (wherever they live), an AHSC old men of all corps of the association is open. The only decisive factor is the spatial proximity, which should enable frequent participation in corps student events. In southern Germany and Austria the (larger) AHSC Corpsphilisterverband are called .

Unique among the corporation associations of Central Europe was the regulation that in the Association of Old Corps Students (VAC) originally not the old men’s clubs, but the AHSC as local clubs of the individual corps were members. The membership of the old gentlemen's associations was not allowed until the 1920s. Even today, the AHSC therefore have a vote in the central body of the VAC, the Ordinary Congress of Representatives (oAT), and are subject to contributions. Members of the VAC are 129 AHSC and 113 AHV (as of April 2011).

When, after the First World War, the association agreement with the Weinheim Senior Citizens' Convention (WSC) was concluded in 1921, Weinheim Corps students could also become members of the AHSC. This is particularly the case in smaller locations where the WSC cannot set up its own local association. In larger towns, the Weinheim Corps students have their own clubs called the “local Weinheim Association of Old Corps Students (öWVAC)” .

history

AHSC Goerlitz

Until well into the 19th century, the corps were self-sufficient "student associations". When the corp houses emerged in the prosperous German Empire , the old rulers or philistines emerged. At the same time, there was a growing need to get together with corps students in professional life abroad . In 1886, the Franconian from Munich, Friedrich Freiherr von Gaisberg-Schöckingen , suggested the establishment of an old men’s association for Württemberg and Hohenzollern . He won the go. Justizrat Stelter Lithuaniae, Hanseae Bonn for taking over the provisional chairmanship. The actual founding meeting was on October 6, 1886 in Stuttgart. Wilhelm II (Württemberg) was among the participants . This first old gentlemen's association developed well. After five years it already had 300 members.

Following the Zander movement , the publisher of the Academic Monthly Books , Paul Salvisberg , tried to unite the (working) old corps students into an association. After he presented his thoughts for the first time at a meeting of old corps students in Munich on August 15, 1887, he kept asking for membership in his magazine and finally published a list of around 500 corps students who had agreed to his plans. Finally, in a new meeting in Munich on April 21, 1888, the Association of Old Corps Students was founded. However, he knew no individual memberships, but consisted of the AHSC associations, which in turn were combined into district associations.

In the first decades, the VAC consisted only of district associations / AHSC and individual members. In 1929, the Congress of Representatives (with 130 district associations represented) decided that AH associations of the Corps could also become members with a seat and vote.

AHSC emerged not only in the centers, but also on the fringes of Prussia and Reich. In the Kingdom of Prussia were Gumbinnen and Saarlouis , in German Empire Gumbinnen and Metz the most distant garrisons . With "Gumbinnen - Saarlouis" and "Gumbinnen - Metz" they marked the expansion of Germany as today with "Flensburg - Garmisch" . The first foreign AHSCs were founded in Austria-Hungary , the Baltic States , the USA and the German colonies and protected areas . During the First World War , many new AHSCs were added in the occupied territories.

In 2010 the board of the Association of Old Corps Students (VAC) started an initiative to strengthen the AHSC in terms of its importance and effectiveness. It was based on a recommendation made by the Association's “Future Commission”, which met in 2007 and 2008. The aim is to see the AHSC as the “third force of corps students” alongside the active corps at the university location and their old rulers. To this end, the 1st AHSC Day was held on February 20, 2010 in Karlsruhe, where the experiences of particularly successful and influential AHSCs were exchanged. The recommendations for the successful operation of an AHSC were summarized in an "AHSC primer" and distributed within the association. The 2nd AHSC day took place on March 19, 2011 in Lüneburg.

In today's abroad

Berlin

1925

The exceptionally high number of old men of all Kösener Corps living and working in the greater Berlin area since the empire was founded in 1871 led to the establishment of four independent district associations (AHSC) in the German Empire : Charlottenburg (1889), Berlin (1891), Teltow for Lichterfelde and the district Teltow (founded in 1897 by Hans von Hopfen ) and Potsdam (1906). They worked together in the Joint Standing Committee established in 1875 . From 1895 to 1904, Charlottenburg provided the entire committee of the VAC . In the Weimar Republic , five further district associations (AHSC) were added: Spandau (1919), Zehlendorf / Wannseebahn (1920), Grunewald (1926), Wilmersdorf-Friedenau (1926) and the water sports association of old corps students as the Schwanenwerder district association (1921). All nine formed the committee of the district associations of old corps students of Greater Berlin and the surrounding area , which provided the entire committee of the VAC from 1920 to 1924. Following on from this designation, the Association of Alter Corps Students in Berlin and Surroundings was established in Germany in the post-war period after the Second World War . V. (1950) with the aim of creating a uniform AHSC Berlin for the whole city from now on; However, the old men from Kösener, who mainly lived in the districts of Dahlem and Lichterfelde, reconstituted their old AHSC Wannseebahn and Teltower AHSC as independent mergers in 1959. Since the suspension of the AHSC Wannseebahn in 1967 there is only the VAC Berlin and the surrounding area and the Teltower AHSC Berlin . The water sports association of old corps students , which has existed since 1994 alongside both of them , no longer claims AHSC status.

Sick

The Siechen beer house was a popular meeting place . In 1923, 1,600 corps students came to the Berlin AHSC-Kommers. In 1924 Albrecht von Rechenberg suggested the Berlin SC balls. 3000 guests came to the first ball in the zoo. From 1893 to 1905, John Koch published the Berlin address book. The “cookbook” led through the widespread corps student world of Berlin and its surroundings until the 1930s and was known to every corps student. During the Weimar Republic there were further special developments in the socially dominant imperial capital . This was not least due to the fact that Greater Berlin, formed in 1920, with its four million inhabitants, was also the city with the most corps students and AHSC.

Water sports association

The one specialty arose on September 11, 1921 with the Water Sports Association of Old Corps Students (WVaC), an independent sailing club on the Großer Wannsee . In economically difficult times, he gave all corps students access to the increasingly popular sailing sport. Even today (2013) he has his own sailing boats. In the clubhouse at Schwanenwerder , 100 to 300 young and old corps students from all over Berlin met on weekends, with the "Stegsegler" sitting in the clubhouse according to the tables of their corps. In the summer, a number of senior citizens' associations from the Kösener Corps moved their regular get-togethers to the clubhouse.

The WVaC became so strong in terms of membership that it could play its own role in the KSCV. She supported the Corps Frankonia Prague personally and financially during the reconstitution in Prague. Corps students took part in the 1936 Bermuda-Cuxhaven ocean race on the ocean-going yacht Ettsi IV under the club's stand . For a while, life in Kosen could survive in this niche; because corps students and sailors like Hans Lubinus could not do without at the Olympic sailing competitions in 1936 . In 1940 the WVaC became temporarily and compulsorily an offshoot of the Yacht Club of Germany . 1937 for the DC circuit of the yachting set, he had "taken over" more traditional club. The clubhouse and boat halls burned down in 1945. Today the property (Wannseebadweg 55) is owned by the Berlin Yacht Club .

SC casino

A “Traube” restaurant in Leipziger Strasse 117/118

The other specialty was created in 1931 in Berlin-Mitte with the Berlin SC casino . As an alternative to the legendary lunch tables at Aschinger , it was on the first floor above the Traube wine restaurant on Leipziger Strasse . Unlike the corps houses in the south-western villa suburbs, the casino was open to all corps students. It has been described as a “mixture of a Prussian officers' mess and an English gentlemen's club”. Every Berlin corps was able to dine for itself once a week here near the university. Locked rooms could be used for corps student and business meetings; But there were also open events, which included the dance teas on Saturdays. In addition to the catering and the common rooms, casino visitors had a reading room. Located at the back of the Foreign Ministry on Wilhelmstrasse and in the middle of the business district around Friedrichstrasse , the casino was visited by several thousand Corps students every month. It was frequented and worn by 50 to 60 old gentlemen's associations of the Kösener Corps. In 1933, 50 old gentlemen held their regular tables in the casino. There was a truce and greeting Comment was desired.

The economically very difficult period of the Weimar Republic was taken into account by setting up a job center for corps students in the casino. It was a branch of the VAC office in Frankfurt am Main .

In 1933 the casino was relocated to Berlin-Charlottenburg . It was at Kantstrasse 8 next to the Theater des Westens . In the era of National Socialism with the Corps into line , the casino shared the fate of other clubs such. B. the German gentlemen's club . The building of the wine restaurant Traube was destroyed in the Second World War. Today a prefabricated building from GDR times stands in its place .
