Cartel Assembly
The Cartell Assembly (CV) is the highest decision-making body, i.e. the highest decision-making body and general assembly , for the Cartell Association of Catholic German Student Associations (CV). In the Austrian sister association ÖCV , the term CVV (Cartel Assembly) is used.
history
Until the First World War, with few exceptions, the Cartell assemblies always took place at the location and at the time of the general assembly of the Catholic associations in Germany , which is known today as the Catholic Day . The first Cartel assembly is that of Frankfurt am Main in 1863 , which took place on the XV. Catholic Day took place. This first Cartel meeting was presided over by Georg von Hertling .
Young von Hertling's speech, in which he introduced the concepts of religion, science and friendship as the guiding principles of a Catholic fraternity student, sparked an effort to unite all Catholic student corporations, the non-colored associations and the colored connections.
At the 2nd Cartel meeting on the XVI. Katholikentag in Würzburg In 1864 , as a consequence of this speech, the Association of Catholic Student Corporations was brought into being. With this Würzburger Bund the first nationwide umbrella organization of Catholic student associations and connections was created. It is the hour of birth of the Cartell Association of Catholic German Student Associations (CV) and the Cartel Association of Catholic German Student Associations (KV).
In 1920, Engelbert Dollfuss, as a student and representative of the Franco-Bavaria Association in Vienna, applied at the 51st Cartel Assembly of the CV in Regensburg that members of the associations up to the generation of their grandparents should not have any direct Jewish relatives. The application was rejected by a large majority of the voting connections. After 1921, no further Aryan paragraph was submitted to the Cartel Assembly for vote. The explicit condemnation of anti-Semitism by the Holy Officium on 25. March 1928 insulated respective aspirations a final.
After the National Socialists came to power in Germany , the Austrian student associations of the Cartell Association split off on July 10, 1933 . Since then, the Cartell Association of Catholic Austrian Student Associations (ÖCV) has existed as an independent corporation association in Austria .
The last joint Cartel meeting before the Second World War (61st C.V.) took place in Munich in 1932 . In 1933 the first separate Cartel Assembly (1st C.V.) of the ÖCV took place in Vienna .
The last Cartel meeting of the CV before the Second World War (63rd C.V.) took place in Würzburg in 1935 . The last Cartel meeting (4th C.V.) of the ÖCV before the Second World War took place in Vienna in 1937.
After the Second World War, CV and ÖCV remained independent organizations and there was no reunification.
The first cartel meeting of the CV after the Second World War (64th C.V.) took place in Mainz in 1950 . The first cartel meeting of the ÖCV after the Second World War (provisional C.V.) took place in Innsbruck in 1945 .
In 1959 the last Cartel meeting (17th CV) of the old style of the ÖCV took place in Baden near Vienna . From this point onwards, a new counting with Roman numerals was introduced. The abbreviation of the Cartell Assembly was changed to CVV (the abbreviation CVV is not in use), but the term Cartell Assembly has remained the same to this day, it is wrongly assumed that CVV refers to the Cartell General Assembly or the Cartell Association Assembly .
In 2006, for the first time since 1933, a joint cartel meeting of the CV and the ÖCV took place in Munich . This happened on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the establishment of a so-called Cartel relationship between the first two founding associations of the CV. It was the 120th C.V. of the CV and the IL. (49.) CVV of the ÖCV. Over 5000 members of the CV and the ÖCV took part in the Kommers alone, at which Wolfgang Schüssel , Edmund Stoiber and Paul Kirchhof gave ceremonial speeches and greetings.
effect
The Cartel meeting is the general meeting of the CV. In organizations with a large number of members, a general meeting of all members is difficult to hold because of the high number of participants that may be involved. For this reason, only previously designated delegates take part in the Cartel Assembly.
Each full member association sends a representative of the Active Association and a representative of the Old Men Association. Votes can be delegated to a representative by proxy. The delegates of a connection are not compelled to cast a unified vote.
Until 1935, the Cartell Assembly was essentially the amalgamation of the active associations. The old gentlemen's associations had only limited rights of codecision. After the Second World War, the old gentlemen's associations were admitted to the Cartel assemblies as equal participants.
The Cartel Assembly is the parliament of the Cartell Association and decides on content-related and structural issues. The Cartel Assembly meets once a year. It is prepared by the CV Student Day, CV Altherrentag and regional meeting. The Cartell Assembly elects and finally confirms the executive offices of the Cartell Association, in particular the highest executive body of the Cartell Association, the CV Council.
The CV Council consists of four members, two students and two old men and is a new creation after the re-establishment of the Cartell Association. The CV council consists of the chairman of the old gentlemen's association, the suburban president of the active association, another old man and another student. The active representatives are elected for one year, the senior representatives for four years. This contributes to the fact that the management focuses on the old men. The CV Council is supported in its work by the CV Secretariat.
In addition to the conferences, the Cartel Assembly is also an important common element of the Cartell connections. An extensive festive program takes place over four days, which includes the central commers of the CV, a social evening and the communal Holy Mass as well as an extensive supporting program.
Typical process
The Cartel Assembly usually begins on Ascension Day or Corpus Christi Day with a welcome evening and a holy mass, which is attended in particular by those connections that do not have a public holiday in their home country due to their regional origin. On the following Friday, the student day or the old man's day takes place in the morning, on which each full member association sends a delegate.
The main meeting of the Cartell Assembly takes place on Friday afternoon and Saturday morning at the weekend. It is made up of three parts, the third part of which is not an actual session, but an academic lecture that is public. The 125 full member association of the Cartell Association are eligible to participate. Each association has two votes and sends two delegates, one active and one senior representative. "Suspended" connections, those that have no active students among their members due to a lack of young talent, only have the old man's voice. Friendly connections participate voluntarily as advisory members.
On Friday and Saturday evening, the festive Festkommers or the festival ball / social evening takes place. The Cartel Assembly is always concluded with a pontifical office and a subsequent end over lunch.
Conference locations
The meeting places of the Cartel Assembly are mostly larger university cities. Cartel meetings have already taken place in 69 different cities. These cities are located in Germany and Austria , partly also in the borders of the two states before the First and Second World War.
