history

Founded until the First World War

On December 4, 1908, Franco-Bavaria was founded as a subsidiary of the Catholic student association KaV Norica Vienna .

In order to maintain communication among the members during the First World War , the "Franco-Bayern-Letters (FBB)" were issued, and these are published continuously to this day.

Engelbert Dollfuss , who had joined in 1913, demanded as a representative of the association at the 51st Cartel Assembly in 1920 of the Cartell Association of Catholic German Student Associations (CV) in Regensburg, without success, only students of "German-Aryan descent, verifiable except for the grandparents", in the To tolerate rows of a CV connection.

In 1921 the subsidiary Pflug was founded at the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna .

In 1933 Franco-Bavaria took part - together with all other Catholic Austrian connections - in the "shutdown" of the Cartell Association, which was threatened by the pressure of conformity, and became a member of the 3rd ÖCV, which still exists today.

Between the wars and National Socialism

In the interwar period, members of Franco-Bavaria, like other members of the ÖCV, held leading positions in the republic and mostly belonged to the Christian Social Party or later to the Patriotic Front . Dollfuss recruited employees from the connection, such as Otto Kemptner , who was commissioned by Dollfuss in 1933 to set up the Fatherland Front. After the events of the July putsch in 1934, Friedrich Stockinger , at that time Federal Minister for Trade and Transport, as now the Philistine Senior of Franco-Bavaria, gave the funeral speech at the Dollfuss memorial event of the ÖCV.

On March 12, 1938, the day of the " Anschluss " to the German Reich , the SA stormed the association's premises and the interior furnishings were largely destroyed. Members were able to hide important items, especially the liaison flag. As a result, several members were arrested by the Gestapo . The community official Alfred Unger organized further meetings of the association, was subsequently imprisoned and later deported. He spent the time leading up to the liberation in the concentration camps of Dachau and Neuengamme .

Friedrich Meznik , Austrian lawyer and journalist and Austrian Federal Press Chief from 1955 to 1972, was transferred as an opponent of the National Socialists in March and completely dismissed from the public service in August 1938. He deserted the Wehrmacht in France in August 1944 and became a member of the French Resistance .

Post-war until today

In 1945 Franco-Bavaria was reactivated and the members of the Pflug subsidiary reunited with Franco-Bavaria. 31 members of the association lost their lives during World War II . Shortly after the end of the Second World War, we moved into the connection home in Bankgasse , which still exists today .

In the academic years 1962/63, 2002/03 and 2010/11 Franco-Bavaria held the suburb of the Austrian Cartel Association.
