The Cartell Association of Catholic German Student Associations ( CV ) is an association of German , Catholic , non-striking , color-bearing student associations .

The Cartell Association has 125 full member associations in Germany , Switzerland , Italy and Poland , one free association in Hungary and one free association within Germany and four friendly associations in Belgium , France , Japan and Cameroon . These 131 associations together have around 32,000 members, including around 6,000 students. This makes the CV by far the largest interdisciplinary association of academics in Europe.

In Austria , the Cartell Association and CV mostly refer to the Austrian Cartell Association (ÖCV), which was split off from the German Cartell Association in 1933 .

organization

links

The CV is an amalgamation of individual associations in compliance with the principle of subsidiarity , that is, the greatest possible retention of their independence. All members of the CV are equal and have the same voting rights at meetings. The principle of anciency only applies to the protocol , whereby the connections are sorted according to their joining date .

The activities of the individual connections together form the student union , the old gentlemen together form the old gentlemen's union .

In cities in which several member associations are located, these associations should set up local associations that are to coordinate the work of the associations among themselves. There are local chapters in: Aachen (7 connections), Bonn (7) Darmstadt (3), Freiburg im Breisgau (6), Hanover (3), Cologne (6), Munich-Freising-Weihenstephan (10), Münster ( 7), Würzburg (5) and Erlangen-Nürnberg (3) and Mainz (3).

Circle

CV circles exist in most German cities, around 247, as well as in Brussels , Luxembourg , Paris and New York . Here the Cartell brothers, especially the old men in their professional life, can keep in touch with each other, even if there is no CV connection in the city. The oldest CV circle is the CV circle Confluentia Koblenz, founded in 1876 .

Will-forming organs

The highest decision-making body is the Cartel Assembly (CV). Individual sessions take place separately according to the student union and the elderly union. Here every activity or every old man has a voice. In joint meetings of active and old men, each connection has two votes, one for the old man and one for the activitas.

In addition to the conferences, the Cartel assembly is an important common element of the Cartel associations. Over four days, an extensive program of festivities will be held at which the central Kommersbuch of CV, a hard ball and the joint Holy Mass and an extensive supporting program include.

In addition to the Cartel Assembly, a student day and an old gentlemen's day (supra-regional meeting of the old men) take place every year.

Executive bodies

The highest governing body is the CV Council . The chairman of the old gentlemen's association chairs the chair. The three other members are the local president and one elected by the Cartell assembly each of the old gentlemen and student representatives. The CV Council has the organizational overall direction over other bodies commissioned by the Cartel Assembly. These institutions include the CV offices, including the pastoral, treasury, university, social and legal offices.

As a rule, a single connection or a local association takes over the suburb , the chairmanship of the CV, every year . The suburb presidium consists of the suburban president and other specialist speakers (mostly: budget officer, organizational officer, education officer, officer for university and social policy, foreign officer, officer for press and public relations, officer for faith and church). The suburb represents the general association internally and externally. The outward sign is the use of the CV standard. The local presidium presides over the student union.

Representatives of the old gentlemen's association are elected every four years. The senior gentlemen's association consists of the senior gentlemen's association chairman and other regional speakers. The senior gentlemen's association presides over the senior gentlemen's association.

CV courts

The Cartell Association has its own association jurisdiction at association level, local association level, regional level and association level.

Association magazine

The Cartell Association is the publisher of its own association journal Academia , which appears every two months. The 100-page magazine was founded in 1888. The edition is given as 31,974 copies in 2005. In addition to the usual reports on the association, extensive articles on the state, society and science are published.

Organizations and foundations related to the CV

The CV has had its own training facility, the CV Academy , since 1974 . Non-members can also take part in the offer. The Studienstiftung Eugen Bolz supports the democratic and civic education of students. With the help of the Felix Porsch-Johannes Denk Foundation , young scientists are given scholarships to study at home and abroad. The Alfons-Fleischmann-Studentenheimverein is supposed to support the construction of student dormitories. The CV-Africa Aid supports several projects in Africa and encourage African students in their home country as well as scholarships for a semester abroad. The Association for Student History and Student Customs is still part of the association. V.

history

Cartel contract between Aenania Munich and Winfridia Breslau

founding

As part of the Kulturkampf , in which the Prussian state wanted to push back the influence of the Catholic Church, Catholic associations were founded in the middle of the 19th century as a counter-movement of Catholic students at various universities, including the Bavaria Bonn (1844) and the Aenania Munich (1851). These connections emerged from loose associations of Catholic students, which had arisen somewhat earlier with the participation of theology students. In their inner constitution and in their outer habitus, they leaned on the traditional couleur studentism and introduced the principle of life covenant , declared the convents to be the highest decision-making body and wore couleur , i.e. ribbon and cap.

Aenania Munich , founded in 1851, sought contact with Catholic connections at other universities early on. On December 6, 1856, she entered into a Cartel relationship with the recently founded Winfridia Breslau (today Münster), which is now considered to be the birth of the Cartel Association. Both color-bearing student associations were formed on the basis of identical principles, religio, scientia et amicitia . In 1864 Guestfalia Tübingen and Austria Innsbruck joined the cartel relationship. After the failure of the Würzburg Confederation , which existed from 1864 to 1865, the oldest Catholic German association founded in 1844, Bavaria Bonn , joined in 1865 , Alsatia in 1871, later Saxonia Münster and Markomannia Würzburg . Hercynia Freiburg joined in 1873, Suevia Berlin in 1876 , Rhenania Marburg and Burgundia Leipzig in 1880 . Thus the principle of anciency was valid as a criterion for the order of the Cartel connections.

In the early years, the CV connections met with considerable resistance from the established corps and fraternities as well as the university administrations, which partly led to the prohibition of wearing colors and finally to the dissolution of Alsatia Münster, later Saxonia Münster, in 1878. Nevertheless, the CV grew in the following decades.

In 1883 KaV Norica Wien , Hasso-Rhenania Gießen and Silesia Halle (now Bochum) joined. In 1884 Badenia Strasbourg (now Frankfurt) and Palatia Göttingen joined the Cartell Association. In 1887 Arminia joined Heidelberg and in 1889 Carolina joined Graz . In 1891 Teutonia Friborg (Switzerland) and Alemannia Greifswald (today Greifswald and Münster) joined and Normannia Karlsruhe was recognized as a friendly association, in 1892 Gothia Erlangen and 1896 Ferdinandea Prague (today Heidelberg) joined. In 1897 Vindelicia Munich, Rheno-Guestfalia Kiel and Tuisconia Königsberg (today Landshut) joined and Lovania Löwen and Nassovia Darmstadt were recognized as friendly connections. Franconia Aachen joined in 1898 .

In 1907 another principle was added to the three existing principles, patria . However, this did not mean the restriction to members of German descent or of German, Austrian or Swiss origin. Various examples illustrate this. Bavaria Bonn received the Belgian Armand Thiéry on May 15, 1892 , the Belgian Prosper Poullet on May 31, 1892 , the Belgian Thomas Braun (writer) on October 30, 1895 , the Irish John Pius Boland in 1896, and the Irishman on April 24, 1894 Belgian Ferdinand Cattoir and on November 3, 1897 the Belgian Georges Holvoet . Teutonia Freiburg im Üechtland welcomed August Povel from the Netherlands on October 29, 1894 , Joseph Andreoli from the Netherlands on November 22, 1895 , Johann Sax from Luxembourg on December 10, 1897 , Joseph Dohmen from England on January 26, 1900 , and on January 22, 1895 . Bernhard Timmermans from the Netherlands on October 1900 and Alfons Urbany from Luxembourg on June 14, 1901 . The Rheno-Franconia Munich took on the Belgian Constant Vandekelder on October 12, 1901 . The Rappoltstein Strasbourg (today Cologne) already received the American Irville Charles LeCompte on February 28, 1905 . Recordings of members of non-German descent can also be proven at Aenania Munich, Guestfalia Tübingen and Suevia Berlin.

Other Catholic associations

Color map of the Cartell Association of Catholic German Student Associations (1905)

Since it was founded, the Cartell Association had initially limited itself to only accepting one membership association at each university (principle of singularity ). However, in many cities, other Catholic connections quickly emerged who supported the principles of the CV. Since they were not accepted into the Cartell Association , the Catholic German Association of Colored Student Corporations (KDV) was founded in 1891 around the Sauerlandia Münster and the Novesia Bonn . Although the singularity principle was abandoned in 1897, the member associations of the KDV only converted to the CV between 1910 and 1912. With the abolition of the singularity principle, the local associations were founded in which the individual connections of a city were combined.

The Cartell Association also stipulated the Matura principle for its member associations , which means that all members of a CV association should have the Abitur ( Matura ). At that time, the Abitur was not a mandatory entry requirement for studying at a technical university , so that the Normannia Karlsruhe (at the then Technical University Karlsruhe ), the Nassovia Darmstadt (at the then Technical University Darmstadt ) and the Rheno-Saxonia Köthen (am At the time, the higher technical institute in Köthen ) were not initially included in the CV as a full member. They founded the Starkenburger Cartellverband , named after the Starkenburg in Heppenheim , where the official publication took place on June 12, 1897. Since the three associations soon adopted the Matura principle, they became free associations in 1901 and full members in the CV in 1904.

Alania Bonn (1905) and 1912 Cheruskia Tübingen (1902), successors of the Tübingen founding association of the Union of Scientific Catholic Student Associations , joined the Cartell Association from the Unitas Association .

Other smaller associations that had similar or identical principles to the Cartell Association and joined the Cartell Association at the turn of the century were the 1st Austrian Cartell , founded by Austria Wien in 1889 , and the 2nd Austrian Cartell , also re-established by Austria Wien in 1900 in 1906 , as well In 1907 the Cartel of Catholic Associations at Veterinary Universities and the Association of Catholic Student Associations founded by Ripuaria Bonn and Gothia Würzburg . After the First World War, the Cartel of Catholic connections at agricultural colleges followed .

The academic culture war

The CV took this upswing despite, and precisely because of, considerable resistance to Catholic color students. The accusation was that Catholic, denominational connections endanger academic freedom. She was suspected of ultramontanism and accused of hostility to the Reich.

While the few connections of the CV had hardly played a role in the Kulturkampf (1872-1887), this changed in the disputes in the so-called Academic Kulturkampf (1903-1908) in the years after the turn of the century. Z. B. the Sugambria Jena (today Göttingen) and especially the Austrian connections compared to the national and liberal connections there.

First World War and Weimar Republic

This state of resistance changed with the First World War. In July 1914 the CV counted 12,398 original members in 80 connections, 7,199 of whom were convened during the First World War . Of these, 1282 fell or died as a result of the war, which is just over 10 percent of all members.

The end of the war also brought major changes to the CV. The association now existed within the borders of seven different states. The connections between Badenia Strasbourg and Rappoltstein Strasbourg had to leave Alsace and find a new home in Germany, on the one hand in Frankfurt and on the other in Cologne. The Sudeten German connections were able to continue in the newly formed Czechoslovakia , as well as Baltia Danzig in the Free City of Danzig and Frankonia Czernowitz in the now Romanian Czernowitz.

For the Cartell Brothers returning from the war, who often continued to fight the Spartacists in Freikorps, the common experience at the front was dominant. A sincere will to begin anew emanated from him everywhere.

The end of the pre-war tensions with the non-denominational associations found clear expression in the conclusion of the Erlangen Association and Honorary Agreement in 1921. Thus, the honorary position of the non-striking was recognized by the weapons student associations as equivalent.

Efforts were made early on at the CV level to deny Jews membership by means of an “Aryan paragraph”. So the KÖHV Franco-Bavaria Vienna , represented by the members Engelbert Dollfuss , later Austrian Federal Chancellor and founder of the Austro-Fascist corporate state , and Nivard Schlögl , professor of theology at the University of Vienna, applied at the general assembly of the Cartell Association in 1920 that members of the connections up to Generation of grandparents are not allowed to have direct Jewish relatives. In the winter semester 1920/1921 the formulated application was sent to the member associations for final voting; the application was rejected by a majority at the time.

The white ring

This article or the following section is not adequately provided with supporting documents ( e.g. individual evidence ). Information without sufficient evidence could be removed soon. Please help Wikipedia by researching the information and including good evidence.

At the Cartel Assembly in 1912, the cartel fraternal "you" was made mandatory for all members of the Cartel Association. This did not meet with unanimous approval, because it was customary at the time to address members of associations of other associations as “you”. Since the Cartell Association had grown from only 26 associations to over 80 since the turn of the century, after the singularity principle had been abandoned, the question arose in some associations whether it would be advantageous to use names on completely unknown Cartell brothers. Since a rejection of the Duz-Comment would have resulted in the exclusion of the connections in question, the members of the White Ring decided to refer to outside Cartell brothers as “you”. The White Ring was a color student interest group within the Cartell Association, which officially existed from 1912 to 1923. Member connections were the Bavaria Bonn , the Burgundia Munich, the Ripuaria Freiburg im Breisgau and the Zollern Münster. Furthermore, there were other sympathetic connections, such as the Guestfalia Tübingen , the Thuringia Würzburg , the Rheno-Palatia Breslau, the Rheno-Franconia Munich and the Marco-Danubia Vienna . An external distinguishing feature was the wearing of a white carnation. At the Cartel Assembly in 1923, members of the White Ring were officially banned from the Siez Comment. Kurt Schuschnigg , in particular , campaigned for mutual Duzen in the association.

National Socialism and World War II

The Cartel Assembly decided in 1932 that membership in a CV connection was incompatible with membership in the NSDAP or the National Socialist German Student Union as long as the German bishops condemned National Socialism . From 1933 the process of conformity began with the introduction of the Führer principle and the resulting rapprochement with the National Socialist German Student Union. On April 3, 1933, after the episcopal ecclesiastical sanctions threats against registered National Socialists had been abandoned, the association revoked its decisions on National Socialism from the previous year. A number of activists and old men then called for a bridge to be built to the Nazi regime, as this was "on a similar intellectual-historical foundation as contemporary Catholicism". On July 7, 1933, Edmund Forschbach was appointed leader of the CV by the federal leader of the DSt Oskar Stäbel .

As a result, the Austrian connections split off into the Austrian Cartell Association of Catholic German Student Associations (ÖCV) on July 10, 1933. The Sudeten German associations had already formed the Sudeten German Cartel Association of the Colored Catholic German Student Associations (SCV), which started on June 14th 1933 limited his relations with the Reich German CV. Since then, the story of CV, ÖCV and SCV has been separated. After the Austrian connections got out, the Cartell Association management demanded that the Imperial German Cartell brothers withdraw from their Austrian connections. Austria Cologne with the colors of Austria Innsbruck was founded as a reception institution . After the war, this connection was not re-established; all members returned to their original connections in Austria.

On July 16, 1933, Forschbach took over the official duties of the suburb of Aenania , which he held until his removal by Stäbel on March 2, 1934. On January 31, 1934, the Cartell Association officially abandoned the principle of catholicity through a declaration by the association's management. Quite a few activitas turned into "living companionship". After Hitler had made it clear in July 1935 that he was fundamentally opposed to student associations, the student associations began to dissolve. The 63rd Cartel Assembly, which met in Würzburg on October 27, 1935, also complied with the inevitable and decided to dissolve the CV itself. The individual connections and the old gentlemen's association remained in place for the time being. The various connections dissolved at the latest after the Hess decree of May 14, 1936, which forbade all student members of the NSDAP or a party branch to belong to a student association.

After the separation from the ÖCV, SCV and after the dissolution of the rest of the Cartell Association, only Teutonia Friborg in Üechtland remained, for which German laws did not apply in Switzerland. The representative said at the end: “Teutonia will remain what it was 90 semesters, a Catholic German student union.” The recommendation was made to include all active members in the old men’s associations. On June 20, 1938, the Alter CVer Association (VACV), which half of the old rulers had joined after the active association had dissolved itself, was forcibly dissolved by a Himmler decree like all other denominational (residual) student associations. This was followed by the confiscation of connective goods, particularly money and houses, by the Gestapo. The remaining assets of the VACV were liquidated and transferred to the Frauenfriedenskirche (in Frankfurt am Main) to preserve the commemoration of the dead. The rapid acceptance of National Socialist ideas by the members would be facilitated by the fact that the traditional element emphasized national aspects, which promoted the transformation of beliefs into heroic national Christianity.

Even if the connections in their external form were dissolved, they secretly lived on in many forms. For example, people met at foundation festivals outside of the university towns, where the NSDStB did not really notice. Trifels München received members in 1938, 1940 and 1942. Markomannia Würzburg received her last fox on March 15, 1939, Baltia Danzig on March 24, 1939. Alpinia Innsbruck was secretly founded in Innsbruck on May 1, 1940. On February 15, 1941, Aenania Munich celebrated its 90th foundation festival at the Spitzingsattel hut . Carolina Graz was illegally reactivated on June 15, 1941 and divided on May 15, 1943, reviving Traungau Graz. In January 1943 the members of Marchia Breslau met in Breslau, and on July 25, 1945 the members of Winfridia Breslau.

Numerous CV members perished in World War II. Many of the expropriated fraternity houses and with them often the connection archives were destroyed. The resistance against National Socialism, especially among the clergy of the CV, was more pronounced in Austria than in Germany. In Austria, the resistance group around chaplain Heinrich Maier should be mentioned in particular . CV members can be identified in several resistance groups.

After the Second World War

After the end of the war, the individual connections were re-established, initially separated according to occupation zones. There was also a start-up very soon. In 1947, CV- Philistines established the Aureata Eichstätt in Eichstätt . The first cross-zonal post-war CV conference also took place in Eichstätt in 1947 with the aim of reviving the CV as a general association. However, this could not be achieved in zoned Germany. It was not until 1950 that the first Cartel meeting after the war could be held in Mainz and the CV was officially re-established. The new constitution has since had a new structure with the equal integration of the old gentlemen's association.

The end of the war also brought major changes to the CV. The connections whose study location is now in the GDR (East Berlin, Leipzig, Greifswald, Jena, Dresden, Freiberg, Rostock), Poland (Danzig and Breslau), Czechoslovakia (Prague, Brno, Tetschen-Liebwerd), the USSR (Königsberg ) or Ukraine (Chernivtsi) had to look for a new home in Germany or Austria. In Austria, the ÖCV was re-established in 1945.

When DAV Glückauf Clausthal-Zellerfeld was re-established in 1948 in the CV, the connection with K.St.V. Salia Clausthal-Zellerfeld in KV to AV Glückauf-Salia Clausthal-Zellerfeld. It is the only Catholic association that belongs to both the colored CV and the non-colored KV .

A reunification of CV and ÖCV did not take place after the Second World War and is not being considered. Both associations maintain a close friendship and consider themselves to be sister associations. To this end, on December 5, 1957, the Salzburg Two Association Agreement was concluded between the two corporation associations .

Furthermore, CV and ÖCV, together with the Swiss Student Association (SchwStV), concluded the Innsbruck three-association agreement on February 10, 1963, which included the individual association agreements with the CV on the one hand, the Bregenz two-association agreement of January 5, 1953, and the ÖCV, on the other. the Zurich Two Association Agreement of February 13, 1947, replaced.

Despite many adversities, the association recovered by the beginning of the student movement in the late 1960s. Against the background of the student unrest and the general enthusiasm for reform, the CV discussed the admission of non-Catholic Christians, as well as the abandonment of formalities and organizational structures (admission of women, abolition of Fuxen status, couleur, bars, etc.).

The CV reaffirmed its ideals and the cultural student traditions and, like all other corporation associations, had to accept a sharp decline in membership development. Since the mid-1970s, the number of active members has halved to around 5,500. Nevertheless, the association has strengthened internally since then.

The Freiburg Cartell Association took over the association's suburb in 1971. The Hercyne Stephan gatekeeper becomes the local president . After his term of office has expired, there is no local association who wants to take over the suburb next. Stephan Pförtner takes on a second term of office and, following his term of office, introduces a mandatory sequence for the suburb.

Another association agreement was concluded on May 24, 1974 with the Technical Cartell Association (TCV).

In 1975, CV co-founded the European Cartel Association of Christian Student Associations (EKV).

Another association agreement was concluded in 1977 with the Katholiek Vlaams Hoogstudenten Verbond (KVHV).

Since 1981 there have been association agreements with the Association of Scientific Catholic Student Associations Unitas (UV).

The Cartell Association is also a member of the Association of Catholic Lawyers and several working groups, the Working Group of Catholic Student Associations (AGV) , the Catholic Academic Work of Germany (KAD), the Pax Romana - International Catholic Movement for Intellectual & Cultural Affairs and the Salzburg University Weeks (SHW) .

The CV is a member of the Working Group of Academic Associations (AaV).

Current geographical overview of all Cartell and friendly connections (2006)

In recent years, the CV has addressed the public with socio-political resolutions.

The CV has also succeeded in establishing corporations at new universities in Germany as well as in the area of ​​the former German Democratic Republic (Dresden, Halle, Magdeburg, Jena) and in taking up student associations founded in the GDR (Greifswald, Leipzig).

Other corporations abroad joined the CV, e.g. B. in Rome (Italy), in Fünfkirchen (Hungary) and in Opole in Silesia (Poland). In Tokyo (Japan) and in Leuven in Flanders (Belgium) there are friendly connections.

Ripuaria Aachen (1912) came from the RKDB in 1988 and the Guelfia Würzburg (1927) from the TCV came to the Cartell Association in 2003. In addition, a CV connection was established in Ingolstadt in 2004 with the KDStV Aureo-Danubia zu Ingolstadt .

In 2006, on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the Cartell Association in Munich, another joint Cartell meeting of CV and ÖCV, the 120th, took place. The last joint Cartel meeting before the separation of the two associations took place in 1932 under the suburb of Aenania Munich, also in Munich.

In July 2006, the Cartell Association, the largest Catholic association of academics in Germany and Europe, demanded a permanent seat on the highest Catholic lay committee in Germany, the Central Committee of German Catholics (ZdK).

At the Cartell meeting in Erlangen on June 12th, 2009 the acceptance of the KTV Visurgis to Bremen from the TCV, as well as a friendship relationship with the KAV Rheno-Fua-Ndem in Dschang , Cameroon was decided. The latter was supported by CV Afrikahilfe e. V. and the KDStV Rheno-Baltia on December 7th, 2009 at the University of Dschang.

By unanimous decision of the CV Council, the Cartel Association suspended its membership in the European Cartel Association from January 1, 2007 until the end of 2009 . In these two years, neither membership fees nor services were paid for the EKV. The Cartell Association was particularly bothered by the influence of the EKV on the interests of its member associations. The number of member connections has increased further since 2010 due to new foundations (Amberg, Lippstadt, Siegen) and transfers from the TCV (Coburg).

Principles and goals

Principles

The common basis for all Cartell brothers (members of the student associations in the CV) is an attitude to life divided into four principles:

  • Religio : The promotion of being a Catholic, the promotion of tolerance among the Christian denominations and the active shaping of one's own life based on the Catholic faith in responsibility before God, people and creation.
  • Scientia : For the CV, the maintenance of science is an important task to which he is committed. For the Cartell brothers this includes a successful degree as well as a willingness to lifelong learning and interdisciplinary interest.
  • Amicitia : As a defining element of the association, personal friendship across all generations is a matter of course as a principle of life that goes beyond studying. Dealing with one another is shaped by responsibility for this lifelong spiritual and material obligation.
  • Patria : Every democratic state lives through the responsibility of every citizen for the state. Active participation at all levels of the community is a civic duty. The roots in history and the democratic development of Germany are essential foundations for the further development of this community into a united Europe as a common fatherland.

These four principles are again expressly stated in the statutes of most member associations. In some connections the fourth principle 'Patria' is missing.

aims

The goals of the Cartell Association are as follows:

  • The CV promotes academic training and promotes academic life in a variety of ways.
  • The members of the associations that form the Cartell Association are Catholics; they are involved in church, state, society, colleges and universities.
  • The CV as an organization and the members of the associations it organizes shape society in a common Europe that is growing together in the spirit of basic Christian values.

  • Young man ( scholar ) with CV flag and book in the crest: Association of students

Federal song

Sound sample: Let, you multicolored hats crowds, ...

The federal song of the Cartell Association is "Let, you colorfully capped Scharen" and was written by Heinrich Gassert ( Hercynia Freiburg ) in 1885. The melody comes from the folk song "Strömt herbei ihr Völkerscharen" by Peter Johannes Peters and was first published in 1867.
