The Halleriana Bernensis is a color-bearing and non-striking student association at the University of Bern . It was founded in 1883 as an academic and natural science association and renamed Halleriana in 1890 and 1898 in honor of the Bernese scholar and natural scientist Albrecht von Haller .

General

The Halleriana Bernensis is open to all students of the University of Bern, the Bern University of Applied Sciences and, since the separation of teacher training from the University, the University of Education in Bern , regardless of the field of study .

The association has been politically neutral and non-denominational since it was founded. The beating and drumming of scales has been strictly rejected since the opening of the Couleurer and since 1914 the connection has no longer been compulsory to drink . Their members are divided into foxes and boys during their active time , after completing their studies they transfer to the old men’s association in accordance with the life covenant principle .

history

Academic-Natural Science Association (1883–1890)

The Halleriana Bernensis originated on July 25, 1883 with the establishment of the Academic-Natural Science Association (ANV) at the University of Bern, which was then still located in the former Barefoot Monastery . Mathematical and scientific interests were the focus of this loosely organized association of university members at that time. Most of them studied at the then II. Department of the Faculty of Philosophy (corresponds to today's Faculty of Philosophy and Natural Sciences), with the majority of them also completing the teacher training school associated with the Faculty of Philosophy .

At the beginning, the ANV was neither intended as a student union, nor did it have any external signs. On the contrary: Its members saw themselves as representatives of the "wild" (non-colored) students and tried to organize them in their entirety, albeit with little success. After the foundation, efforts gradually came to establish a regular club operation. For this purpose, on February 15, 1889, the ANV gave itself not only the first statutes , but also a drinking comment , a circle and a ribbon in the colors blue-silver-red.

Hallerania (1890–1898)

In order to keep the association open for students from non-natural sciences, the first name change took place on March 21, 1890. The ANV was renamed Hallerania in honor of the Bernese natural scientist and scholar Albrecht von Haller as well as the connection with the natural sciences. On November 29th of the same year a corresponding amendment of the statutes followed, which enabled all students of the university to join the Hallerania. This was an important step from the club towards the student union.

Even under the new name, the Hallerania continued its efforts to mobilize and bring together the wildlife for community actions. The efforts focused primarily on the secondary school teacher candidates, to which a large part of the members of the Hallerania belonged. In 1892, 1894 and 1896/97 the Hallerania took the initiative for reforms at the teacher training school, in particular its curriculum. Only the advance of 1896/97 was crowned with success, the revised examination regulations of October 16, 1897 realized the main requirements of the connection. Due to the mostly unsuccessful efforts to summarize the wildlife, this project was abandoned.

Through personal relationships, the Hallerania and the like-minded Paedagogia Turicensis, today's Manessia Turicensis, came into contact in 1895. After mutual invitations and friendly conversations, a cartel agreement between the two, at that time still black, connections was established in June of the same year , which continues to this day.

Towards the end of the 19th century, the Hallerania, in its position as a black association , found itself increasingly cornered. Relationships and sympathies with the savages gradually waned, the longer the students showed the less inclination to enter into a black connection and the existing color connections ignored the Hallerania. That is why it was decided during the summer semester of 1898 to open Couleur and thus to take the last step in the direction of the colored student union.

Halleriana (from 1898)

At the opening of the Kornhausbrücke on June 18, 1898, the Couleur connection then presented itself to the public for the first time with the newly selected colors green and yellow and under the correctly Latinized name Halleriana Bernensis. In the following year, with the aim of keeping the members together in a joint association even after their studies, the Halleriana Old Masters Association was founded. With the conversion into a color connection, a position had to be taken on the scale length , which was strictly rejected together with the timpani, so that the Halleriana can still be classified as a non-beating connection today.

When the overall organization of the student body, the Academia Bernensis, was declared dissolved in November 1898 after 40 years of existence, efforts by the Couleur Associations began to create a new organization. At the invitation of Zähringia Bernensis, the Corporations-Convent Bern was founded on May 20, 1899. Together with the Halleriana, the following Couleur connections were involved in the establishment: Zofingia , Helvetia , Concordia , Burgundia , Tigurinia, Zähringia, Stella and the student gymnastics club, today's Rhenania .

During the First World War , the alliance experienced a time of crisis, the military service in the war years caused the number of members actively participating in the life of the union to decrease sharply. In order to promote cohesion in this difficult time, the old gentlemen's association decided to organize itself in regional sub-associations. These associations are still an important pillar of fraternity today.

The returnees from active service to study and the regional sub-associations helped through this time of crisis, but a new challenge soon followed. The flu epidemic attacked ruthlessly and also threw Hallerians into the grave. Out of this need, a relief fund was set up in the summer of 1919 for the benefit of needy Hallerians or their relatives.

In 1934 the Halleriana decided to preserve and restore the memorial stone of the Bernese polymath Albrecht von Haller, which stands halfway between Münsingen and Wichtrach , from decay . In 1966/67 this was initiated again.

The military service again put the connection to the test during the Second World War, and even after the end of the Second World War , the liberalism of the post-war years led to conflicts with the popular students, which was particularly noticeable in the lack of young talent. Thanks to the commitment of its members, the Halleriana was able to withstand the smaller and larger challenges that went hand in hand with social development over the course of time and can now present itself as a modern color association.
