Deputy Convent
In the 19th and early 20th centuries, the Deputy Convents (DC) were local associations ( convents ) of fraternities at a university or college location. They formed the counterpart to the Senior Convents (SC) of the Corps .
history
The first DC were set up in the 1860s at the instigation of the Eisenacher Burschenbund (founded in 1864) (which only existed for a few years ). The main goal of the DC was initially to establish a regulated cramming relationship between the fraternities.
Later fraternity associations such as the Eisenach Deputy Convent (1874) and the General Deputy Convent (1881) adopted the name. After the renaming of the General Deputy Convent in German Burschenschaft , the name for the entirety of the member associations in one place changed to Local Burschenschaft (ÖB).
Usage today
In Stuttgart 2011, a deputy-Convent in line with the historical Stuttgarter DC was founded.
