BDIC - Association of corporations at German universities

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The full coat of arms of the BDIC

The BDIC - Corporations Association at German Universities is a corporation association of German student associations . As the Federation of German Engineering Corporations (BDIC), it was founded in 1951 in Ehrenbreitstein am Rhein as the successor organization to several associations at German state engineering schools (academies, polytechnics, higher technical institutes, etc.) and in its prime had over 200 member associations. The BDIC has had its current name since 1974.

It includes optional striking and non-striking color-bearing student associations at universities and today's colleges. The association has given itself the motto Reverence for Life ( Albert Schweitzer ). The associations of the BDIC are male associations based on the principle of life union. The BDIC is divided into four regional associations, each of which is headed by a regional association board. The chairman of a regional association is the regional senior. The board of the BDIC consists of the chairman (national senior), the deputy (deputy national senior), the treasurer (federal treasurer), the student representative (senior citizens' convention representative) and the five regional seniors. The organs of the BDIC are the federal board already described, the delegate convention (general assembly) in which every member association has voting rights and the senior citizens convention in which the students (active members) choose their representation.

The BDIC is a member of the Convent of German Corporations Associations (CDK) and the Convent of German Academic Associations (CDA).

history

In the 1950s and 1960s, many student associations that had been banned in the Third Reich were reactivated . In 1950 these included some corporations at German engineering schools , which initially organized themselves into four independent umbrella associations.

On June 23, 1951, 28 student associations decided to merge their umbrella organizations into one large umbrella organization, the Bund Deutscher Ingenieur-Corporationen . The following umbrella organizations have merged into the BDIC:

  • Federation of German fraternities
  • Ehrenbreitsteiner representative of the convent
  • Friedrichsruher weapon ring
  • Karthäuser Deputy Convent Association of Bavaria
  • Hohensyburgbund Dortmund and Hagen

Due to the changes at the universities, it was necessary to adapt the name of the association, and the Bund Deutscher Ingenieur-Corporationen was renamed BDIC - Korporationsverband am Deutschen Hochschulen - in 1974 .
