Erfurt Agreement

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Erfurt Agreement was an agreement concluded between the National Socialist German Student Union (NSDStB) and the corporations of the General German Arms Ring (ADW) to regulate the interests of both sides.

The submission was made at the Erfurt Weapons Students' Day in April 1931. The NSDStB applied for recognition by the ADW on the basis of an honorary order drawn up by Baldur von Schirach in July 1930 and, in return, undertook not to interfere in pure ADW matters and the validity of its not to extend one's own rules of honor to other weapons students. For this, the leadership of the NSDStB asked to be informed about the involvement of members of the federal government in honorary matters. Problematic was the announcement by the NSDStB that it would only recognize honorary sentences with exclusion against its members if their own rules of honor had been violated, and that ADW disreputations would be recognized but not implemented. The latter provision was probably included with consideration of a recently conducted court of honor proceedings against Baldur von Schirach.

The Erfurt Agreement was ratified by the German Burschenschaft , the German Landsmannschaft , the Weinheim Seniors' Convent , the Rudolstadt Seniors' Convent , the Naumburg Seniors' Convent and the Academic Gymnastics Federation. The Miltenberger Ring and the Sondershäuser Association rejected it. The Kösener Senioren-Convents-Verband left the vote on statutory individual seniors convents . On August 15th, the German Burschenschaft, the Weinheim Senior Citizens' Convention and the German Landsmannschaft canceled the agreement on November 1st. A second version was initialed on November 4, 1931. The decisive change was that the NSDStB recognized the competence of the corporations towards their members in all student obligations.

Already in December there was a scandal on the occasion of the new elections for the leadership of the German student body when the NSDStB representatives in the main committee of the DSt. contrary to the agreement made with the associations, did not elect the corps student Hans-Heinrich Schulz, but the previous DSt.-chairman Walter Lienau as the oldest of the German student body. A few days later, the NSDStB canceled the recently renewed agreement to some associations. For their part, the associations recalled their representatives from the management of the German student body, but soon came closer to the student union again.
