The fraternity Hannovera Göttingen is a student union in Göttingen . It was founded on May 13, 1848 and was formerly a member of the Green-White-Red Cartel (GWRK). Hannovera is a life association that brings together students and alumni of the Georg-August-Universität Göttingen, and the only one of the classic fraternities that a woman has ever been a member of: the "Swedish Nightingale" Jenny Lind .

history

Prehistory, foundation and early days

The University Act of 1826, enacted as part of the “ demagogue persecution ”, forbade any association among students. Due to the July Revolution of 1830 , the King of Hanover promised a constitution that was enacted in 1833. In 1837 Ernst August I took over the government; he no longer guaranteed the constitution. The Göttingen seven protested against this . The connection ban was enforced, but also undermined by individual student associations.

From 1845 onwards, a group of students from a Hanover school who represented fraternity ideas met regularly. This circle later studied in Göttingen when the German Revolution broke out there in 1848/49 . There was friction between students and the police. When some associations in colors appeared, cavalry advanced. As a result, on March 17, 1848, the students moved out of Göttingen. The king soon made concessions and lifted the ban on connections. On May 1, 1848 the festive entry of the students took place, who were picked up from Northeim by representatives of the city and the university. The Hanoverians also took part.

The statutes of the new association had already been drafted at Easter. One day after the Festkommers they met for the first convention and it was decided to establish the progress connection Hannovera with the colors green-white-red. The program declared the ideal of a general student body, honesty, science and physical fitness. The university was immediately notified of the establishment. On May 13, 1848, a Kommers was celebrated in Nörten-Hardenberg and the founding was announced to the outside world. This day is considered the foundation date of the Hannovera fraternity.

The principle of morality was introduced in the winter semester of 1850/51. The satisfaction was also emphasized more strongly. From this time on, the Hannovera openly confessed to being a fraternity.

Like many other students, active members of the Hannovera fraternity took part in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870/71 , of which two federal brothers fell.

Corps period 1878 to 1884

After the founding of the empire in 1871 there was the widespread opinion that the fraternity goal of German unity had been achieved and that the fraternity ideals had outlived themselves. There was also this atmosphere in the Hannovera. In 1878 Aktivitas declared itself the Corps Hansea , which joined the Göttingen Senior Citizens' Convention . The old colors and the old coat of arms were continued. The 28 members of the Corps Hansea Göttingen are included in the Kösener corps lists . A very large part of the old rulers did not support this step; from 1884 there was again an active fraternity Hannovera at the University of Göttingen.

Period from 1884 to 1918

Liaison house with traces of a color attack from the presumably left-wing extremist spectrum (2014).

From 1863 there have been multiple attempts to form an umbrella association of the fraternities. The Green-White-Red Cartel (Hannovera Göttingen, Germania Jena , Frankonia Heidelberg , from 1919 also the Tübingen fraternity Derendingia ), formed in 1869, called for a meeting of fraternities in Eisenach in 1874, at which the Eisenach Deputy Convent (EDC) was founded . Although this was ultimately not granted permanent existence, the General Deputy Convent (ADC) formed in 1881 and renamed the German Burschenschaft in 1902 was based on it. Hannovera, which was resurrected in 1884 and joined the ADC, initially found it very difficult to assert itself. After founding an old man's fund, to which the old men could voluntarily pay contributions, she was financially better. The main occupation of the active in the corporation was, in keeping with the times, the maintenance of the designated canteen and the weekly pub, whereby unpleasant effects found elsewhere were deliberately avoided. Since 1893/94, scientific lecture evenings (fraternity evenings) have taken place several times per semester. When in 1896 the ADC passed a majority resolution stating that Jewish students should no longer be admitted, Hannovera had a clear and consistent position. She informed her old men that there was no provision in her statutes that forbade the admission of Jews; no such provision will be included either. However, they do not see themselves in a position (meaning: they see no reason) to publish a corresponding declaration in the Burschenschaftliche Blätter . The fraternity of Hannovera has had a number of Jewish friars in its ranks throughout its existence.

At the end of the winter semester 1902/03, the Hannovera was suspended for two semesters by the University of Göttingen because of " disreputation and serious public insult to a student", but it was only possible to reopen it in 1906 by cartel brothers. After that it flourished. In 1909 the fraternity house was acquired. With the beginning of the First World War , the fraternity of Hannovera suspended its activities. All active soldiers became soldiers alongside many old men; 31 war dead were to be lamented.

Forced dissolution in the Third Reich

The fraternity of Hannovera and its house building association were dissolved by a dissolution decree of the Secret State Police (Gestapo) Hildesheim on April 28, 1939 (Br.-Nr. II C - 1462/39). The dissolution was legally based on § 1 of the presidential decree for the protection of the people and the state . The decision to dissolve was justified as follows:

“The fraternity of Hannovera and their house building association have so far refused any active participation in the student rebuilding despite repeated efforts. In particular, only a small percentage of the members of these associations declared their entry into the NS-Altherrenbund and thus consciously sabotaged the efforts of the deputy of the Führer and the Reichsführer SS . "

- Quoted from H. Tegtmeyer: History of the fraternity Hannovera 1928 to 1945 , page 160f.

In 1943, some old men considered establishing a comradeship called "Burg Hardenberg". However, this attempt was unsuccessful. As a result of the Second World War , 26 federal brothers lost their lives at the front or in captivity.

The development since 1945

Old finch Europe

The British military government confiscated the liaison house again in 1949 and placed it under trusteeship, so that the 100th Hannovera Foundation Festival could not be celebrated in Göttingen. The house was not returned until 1950, but existing tenancies , for example those of Emil Busch GmbH , had to be observed.

On February 17, 1951, the Hannovera was reconstituted as an active federation in the "Alte Fink Europa" inn in Göttingen by young students. Since the house could only be partially used at first, the active people had their pub in the "Stegemühle" bar. From 1956 the liaison house was fully available again. Initially, the Hannovera struggled for the community form, until the current form of the student corporation based on the principle of life union prevailed. Since then, the focus of activities has been on content-related work.

According to statistics on violence against corporations for 2010, the Hannovera fraternity was the victim of numerous hostilities and damage to property at the fraternity house. In December 2012 the fraternity of Hannovera resigned from the umbrella organization of the German fraternity .

Principles

In addition to the motto of the fraternity honor, freedom, fatherland, the fraternity carries the motto "Freedom through unity". It stands in the tradition of the primitive fraternity , follows the life alliance and convention principle and is optional .

Color

Hannovera wears the colors "green-white-red" with silver percussion. All friars wear the same ribbon; a fox band ( foxes ) is not worn. The hat is (dark) green with a green-white-red ribbon and a white joint in the shape of the little student hat . There is also a barrel and jewelry barrel.

According to the color of the hats, the members of the fraternity are traditionally called "Green Hanoverians" or, in closer (liaison) circles, only briefly "The Greens".
