The Holzminda fraternity is a striking and colorful student union in Göttingen . The fraternity was founded in 1860 and was the founding association of both the Red Direction and the Red Fraternities cartel . It unites students and former students of the Georg-August University and the Göttingen universities in a friendship and life alliance .

history

The foundation

The founding boys of the Holzminda came from the grammar school in Holzminden

On November 10, 1860, eight Göttingen students , all former students of the high school in Holzminden , founded the Holzminda association as a friendship association in the Black Bear in Göttingen . The founding members included Georg Stölting and Karl Dauber . No colors were worn and no special effort was made, in contrast to what was common with many student associations of the time.

Early days and empire

In the beginning, the Holzminda was a black - that is, non-colored - Progress compound. At that time, black connections had a difficult time with the established color-bearing corporations. That is why the Holzminda joined the Göttingen Wildlife Association , which was recognized by the University Senate as the third student group alongside the fraternities and corps and which, with the participation of the Holzminda, joined the Göttingen Bladder Convention from 1861–1874 , then until 1881 in the Göttingen First Convent and finally organized beyond the borders of Göttingen in the Gotha First Convent until 1885 .

Relationships with other university towns were established outside of Göttingen. In 1865 there was a cartel with the catfish in Erlangen and relations with the bubble convention in Jena ; from 1866 to 1868 to a membership in the Waltershäuser Association , which was founded with the participation of Holzminda, and from 1883 to 1885 to a cartel relationship with the North German Association in Bonn , which entailed mutual visits and traffic conditions . Until the winter semester of 1903/04, the Holzminda maintained a friendship relationship with the Academic Association Krusenrotter Kneipe in Kiel.

Shortly after the foundation, the first games were fought. From 1877 to 1879 there was then a punk relationship with the Brunsviga fraternity on all weapons and from 1879 on a pauk relationship with the SC in Göttingen on heavy weapons.

At the 25-year foundation festival in 1885, the old rulers were founded, whereby the organizationally still loose life bond was tied into a more solid form. From 1888 to 1895 cartel with the connection Salia Jena, which ended with the Salia sat colors and as a result, several members of Holzminda changed, including Alex Heskel .

In the summer semester of 1895 and 1899, Holzminda held the chairmanship of the Göttingen student body and thus officially represented the Göttingen students to the university.

The big bar on the Holzmindahaus (around 1910)

Gradually, more and more student associations in Göttingen set up colors and joined larger associations . This was seen positively by many new students starting their studies in Göttingen, but it meant that Holzminda had to struggle with problems with young talent. So it came in early 1904 to a memorandum of Aktivitas to the old boys' stem : She would set colors and join the German fraternity to adapt to these changes. On April 16, 1904, the colors in the Black Bear were finally laid out in the form of a ribbon and shown publicly for the first time on the Weender Bummel . Under the leadership of Friedrich Salis , the decision was made to join the German fraternity and from now on Holzminda called itself fraternity association . However, due to concerns of the fraternity Hannovera Göttingen and the Green-White-Red Cartel , the admission into the new umbrella organization took place only on June 19, 1907 as a renouncing fraternity and then finally on the Burschentag on May 30, 1909. From then on the Holzminda fraternity called itself . These measures led to a strong increase in membership and encouraged efforts by the association to create their own home. On June 4, 1910, the specially built connection house in Wilhelm-Weber-Strasse was inaugurated.

In the First World War , 30 members of the Holzminda fell, with a total of 130 members at the time.

Weimar Republic and National Socialism

In 1920 Holzminda was a co-founder of the Red Direction within the German fraternity. From 1920 the Holzminde Theodor Sonnemann was a member of the university policy committee, the main committee and the honorary council of the German fraternity. In the same year, students from Göttingen formed a volunteer force against the communist uprising in the Ruhr area , led by Wilhelm Tannenberg as a company commander .

In the winter semester 1930/31 the Holzminda had 167 old men, 64 inactive and 32 active. During the Weimar Republic , all kinds of sporting activities were very common among the students, as was the case with the Holzminda, who particularly excelled in gliding and riding . A private riding school in Örshausen near Dransfeld was visited. Together with Otto Schwab and Otto Lüning, the Holzminde Ewald Hamann founded the gliding group and the flying department of the German fraternity in 1930/31 . He and his brother Waldemar died on May 28, 1933 when their plane crashed during a flight demonstration in Hildesheim.

The generally last known determination gauging with a fatal outcome happened on January 28, 1933, when an accident occurred in which the bat of a Holzminden caught under the nose plate of a member of the Alemannia Göttingen fraternity and penetrated the brain. The member of the Holzminda who was accused of the fatal mensur outcome was acquitted by a lay judge in Göttingen at the beginning of March 1933 , which pushed the general discussion about the criminal liability of mensurals further and finally shortly afterwards in a Reich law of May 26, 1933 by amending Section 210a of the Criminal Code impunity was established.

In 1934, Willy Nolte published a more than 1000-page fraternity roll that listed all members of the individual fraternities of the German fraternity.

On April 15, 1935, Holzminda resigned from the German fraternity. Shortly afterwards, in May 1935, the Holzminda got caught in the crossfire of NSDAP organizations and was closed by the university for six months because it had organized a "politically unsuccessful beer sulk". The incident is known as the Göttingen maypole affair . As a result, the Holzminda was neither a member of the old fraternity nor was there when the German fraternity was dissolved on October 18, 1936.

On March 15, 1936, the fraternity dissolved. After the establishment of a comradeship Ewald Hamann on January 30, 1937 , the company was continued to a limited extent in the comradeship Hermann von Salza .

In the Second World War , 57 Holzminden and 21 members of the comradeship were killed.

post war period

After the end of the war, the liaison house was confiscated but not used by soldiers. The housing department assigned several families to the house. A lunch menu was served in the pub, but the social life was almost completely quiet at first. Some of the sons of old men and their friends formed a friendship association called the Humboldt Association , which met in an apartment in Schildweg . A new Aktivitas (1947/48) emerged from him through contacts with the old men of the Holzminda. This allowed Holzminda to be present when the German fraternity was re-established on June 15, 1950. In December 1950 the name "Holzminda" was officially allowed to be used again. In 1950 the gymnastics club Normannia rented a room and the gymnastics club Salia , who had been expelled from Jena, had the right to host the Holzminda house from 1953 to 1958 . In 1950, actors from Göttingen set up the intimate theater in the Kneipsaal of the connecting house, which played there until its dissolution in 1954.

In May 1971, Holzminda was suspended from the German fraternity for one year because they had given up the then mandatory classification and thus violated the statutes of the DB. However, the Frankenthal Regional Court lifted this sanction in October 1971.

On 10 February 2008, the Holzminda founded with the Strasbourg fraternity Arminia Tubingen and Wurzburg fraternity Arminia the cartel Red Fraternities (KRB). In March 2013, the Holzminda fraternity resigned from the umbrella organization of the German fraternity .

The color in ribbon and cap

Otto Hillebrecht with Fuxenband and Wooden Minda Cap (1904)

The Holzminda's boy band has the colors blue-white-red and the Fuxen band is blue-white - both with silver percussion . They have only been worn in ribbon and hat since 1904, after the wooden minda had previously been the only color guide for 44 years as a black connection . The headgear is a cornflower blue cap with a white piping on the lid and a bright red cap band, bordered by the Göttingen double stripe in white.

The coat of arms and the motto

In 1873 the coat of arms was established in its current form. It is based on the colors and the town's coat of arms of Holzminden, plus the black bear, which indicates the establishment of the establishment, the foundation day and the circle . Above the coat of arms is the field cry Holzminda be it banner! , under the coat of arms the motto Non quot, sed quales! , Latin: Not how many, but what for which! , also: Not quantity, but quality!
