The Göttingen Wingolf is a Christian, non-denominational, color-bearing and non-striking student association in Göttingen and belongs to the oldest student umbrella organization ( Wingolfsbund ).

Principle and colors

The basis of living together in Göttingen Wingolfites is the motto Δι 'ἕνος πάντα from Philippians 4.13  LUT , which was coined in Halle in the revolutionary year of 1848 . The commitment to the Christian faith, the so-called Christianum, does not bind to a certain denomination .

The color of the Göttingen Wingolf consists of the black-white-gold band with golden percussion and a black occiput . As a reminder of the old Arminia , those charged wear the black-silver-red ribbon as a batch ribbon.

history

From the Arminia to the Wingolf

On February 19, 1867, the Christian student union Arminia was founded . Its members kept in close contact with individual Wingolf Philistines . A tendency to become a member of the Wingolfsbund soon established itself. The Arminia wore the colors black-silver-red and also differed in the form of the principle from the existing Wingolf connections. As early as June 1867, the Arminia followed the demands of the other Wingolf associations, including some who were skeptical of membership. In addition to changes in principle, she created the Wingolfite colors black, white and gold and renamed herself Wingolf . On July 19, 1867, the Kommers was officially founded in the “Zur Linde” inn in Geismar .

The first house of the Göttingen Wingolf (Nikolausberger Weg)

As early as 1884, the Göttingen Wingolf took over the suburb of the Wingolfsbund for the first time from the Leipziger Wingolf . In the 1890s, the Göttingen Wingolfites tried to build their own corporation house, which was inaugurated in 1900 at Nikolausberger Weg 58. It was not until 1906 that a Philistine organization was created with the Göttinger Wingolfiten Association . In 1911 the Göttingen Wingolf took over the suburb of the Wingolfsbund for the second time.

Between the wars

The time of the world wars began for the Göttingen Wingolf with the third takeover of the suburb in the winter semester of 1914/1915. During the First World War , like many Wingolf connections, he suffered numerous victims. In spite of this, there was already lively Wingolf life in Göttingen in the interim semester of 1919. The heyday of the Göttingen Wingolf followed in the 1920s.

Badge of the Göttingen Wingolf

On November 30, 1935, the connection had to be postponed under pressure from the NSDStB . The Göttinger Wingolfiten Association also had to disband and was completely liquidated. As a result, the fraternity house was also sold.

After the Second World War

After the Second World War , the Göttingen Wingolf was re-established as the second Wingolf connection at all on July 17, 1947. Since the university officer of the British military administration refused to license the re-established association at the University of Göttingen, it was renamed Familia Academica Gottingensis in the summer of 1948 , but remained essentially a Wingolf association. In January 1950 the Göttingen Wingolf took over the suburb of the Wingolfsbund for the fourth time. At the end of the year, the university also allowed it to continue under its old name.

The 1960s and 1970s were marked by numerous changes for the Göttingen Wingolf. In 1960, after many years of commitment, the new house in Gaußstrasse was ready to move into. In 1962, as a counterpart to the convention of the south-west German Wingolfs connections ("Gernsbacher Convention"), the North German Convention was founded as an amalgamation of the North German Wingolfs connections. Founding members were the Hannoversche Wingolf, the Hamburger Wingolf, the Kieler Wingolf, the Clausthaler Wingolf "Catena" and the Göttingen Wingolf.

The political situation and discussion about student associations in Göttingen intensified in the early 1960s. The Wingolfit of Clausthaler Wingolf zu Marburg, Professor Hans Conzelmann , who was not a member of Göttingen Wingolf, triggered a debate about striking Göttingen connections . In 1963, as a professor of theology in Göttingen, he excluded all members of striking leagues from his seminars. This initially led to "spontaneous beer table protests of insulted corporates throughout the city." He was publicly criticized by the then spokesman for the student council Jürgen Borgwardt , member of the Königsberg fraternity of Gothia zu Göttingen .

At the end of the 1960s, the Göttingen Wingolf drastically reformed its connection life, these changes are summarized under the label Göttingen Program . The statutes of the association should allow more democratic participation of all members. In addition, the comment has been significantly purified. One innovation in particular caused attention and conflicts with the other Wingolf associations: the Göttingen Wingolf allowed women to become members. There is evidence that three female students entered, but later also left, so that this part of the reform program was abandoned by the Göttingen Wingolf. In the Bielefeld Declaration, the Wingolfsbund positioned itself against the membership of women, although it was also stated that no fundamental rejection can be formulated based on the Christian principle of Wingolf.

Due to the construction work on the new town hall , the connecting house was forcibly sold to the city in 1974. The connection received the current connection house in Calsowstraße as compensation.

From 2000 onwards, parts of the Göttingen Wingolf's activities played a decisive role in the new foundation of the Halle Wingolf in 2002.

In September 2014, part of the Lassalle Circle Conference 2014 took place on the house of the Göttingen Wingolf .
