history

As early as the 1830s, students met in Erlangen for Christian " wreaths ". Over the years, the desire arose among them to form a counterpart with a Christian character based on the example of other connections . In 1836 the connection Uttenruthia was founded. There is particular historical relevance insofar as it was the first non-binding Christian connection in Germany . For this reason, in contrast to other corporations, emblems of corporate students were initially dispensed with.

In 1844 and 1846 the Erlanger met with other already existing Wingolf associations at councils in Schleiz ( Schleizer Council ) and Blankenburg. As a result, the desire arose to also found a Wingolf in Erlangen. A "Wingolfite" trend emerged within the Uttenruthia , in which the opinion was held that being Christian is the opinion of connection. As a result of the dispute as to whether the Uttenruthia was a Wingolf connection, 13 members declared their resignation and on the basis of this dispute on principles founded the Erlanger Wingolf on November 29, 1850 at 1.30 p.m.

This continues to wear the colors of Germany's first Christian association, which have been used since 1848: black-white-gold. Since the Wingolfite current within the Uttenruthia represented the original, theological orientation more clearly than the non-Wingolfite part of the association, which was more shaped by Christian ethics , the Erlangen Wingolf represents the original ideals and values ​​of Christian liaison students acquired in its own way.

The Wingolfsbund was founded in 1844 by the Bonner Wingolf , the Hallenser Wingolf , the Berlin Wingolf and the Uttenruthia Erlangen. After the splitting of the Uttenruthia in 1850, the Erlanger Wingolf took the place of the Uttenruthia. It was agreed that the Erlanger Wingolf could keep the black cap, the Uttenruthia the black-gold-black ribbon and use the year 1836 as the foundation date. In this way, the Erlanger Wingolf, as the spiritual successor to the Uttenruthia in the Wingolfsbund, is a co-founder of the Wingolfsbund, although its establishment is officially only dated to 1850.

Initially, the Erlanger Wingolf met in different pubs; today's Wingolfshaus in Friedrichstrasse 24–26, as Palais Winkler v. Mohrenfels, built in 1728, was acquired on January 4, 1892 and has been the center of Wingolfite life in Erlangen ever since.

The Erlanger Wingolf was several times a suburb of the Wingolfsbund, most recently in the years 2007 to 2009.

Couleur, coat of arms and circle

The colors of the Erlanger Wingolf are black-white-gold. The boy band wears these colors with silver percussion and is identical to the fuxen band. The guest band has the colors black and white with golden percussion, the Konkneipanten band the colors black and white on gold with golden percussion.

The coat of arms of the Erlangen Wingolf is a four-sided shield with the following content: the Jerusalem cross in silver at the top right , a red-armored black eagle with the coat of arms of the Hohenzollern on its chest in gold at the top left, the city ​​of Erlangen's coat of arms at the bottom right (two-tailed, striding golden lion behind a silver wall on blue), lower left a laurel wreath around the founding date on white. In the center of the coat of arms is the middle shield with the tricolor of the Wingolfsbund .

The Erlanger Wingolf circle is a combination of the first letters E, W, v, c and f , which stand for "Erlanger Wingolf, vivat, crescat, floreat" (Latin for "he live, he grows, he blooms").

particularities

The Wingolf principle of moderation is a specialty in the corporate environment: Thesis 1 of the Erlanger Wingolf statutes stipulates, among other things, the rejection of excessive alcohol consumption. In contrast to other student associations, the Erlanger Wingolf does not systematically drink to the point of vomiting and beyond, and there is no need to consume beer or other forms of alcohol. The principle of moderation as an explicit regulation of alcohol consumption is not uniform even within the Wingolfsbund, it also applies in a similar form in the Giessen Wingolf and most of the associations with old Wingolf tradition (e.g. Bonner Wingolf ; Berlin Wingolf and Hallenser Wingolf ).
