The Gothaer First Convent (Gothaer EC) was an association of corporations from 1881 to 1885. Its members were obligatory and non- colored student associations of German universities, which did not follow any religious or political tendencies. In addition to the Göttingen EC , other parts of the former Waltershausen Association were incorporated into it.

history

Gothaer EC was founded in Berlin on June 2, 1881 . The 12 founding members were:

The most important goal of the union was a convincing representation of the black principles and a mutual strengthening of the individual connections. Through the "principle of lack of principles", the member associations wanted to set themselves apart from the large associations and give each other a home for their foreign federal brothers.

But since the beginning there have been different opinions about the wearing of colors and the point of the scale length . The first regular meeting of the Gothaer EC was opened on May 26th, 1882 in Gotha with the announcement that both the Tübingen Saxonia and the Leipziger Halberstadtensia and the Kieler Slesvigia had resigned. Vitebergia applied for admission to the Landsmannschafter Convent (LC) in 1883 and thereby left the Gothaer EC. The second regular EC meeting on May 11, 1883 went without any problems, but in 1884 the meeting scheduled for shortly before Pentecost had to be postponed because the Göttingen Frisia and the Tübingen Derendingia had withdrawn. The Leipzig Slesvico-Holsatia was suspended by the University Senate and had to leave the Gothaer EC. Shortly afterwards, the Göttingen connections Gottinga and Mündenia became colored and also withdrew. Since most of the members also gradually added colors, further cooperation was seen as pointless and the Gothaer EC was dissolved in the winter semester of 1885/86.
