The Catholic Austrian Student Union Austria Wien (KÖStV Austria Wien) is a color-bearing and non-striking student union founded in 1876 and a member of the Austrian Cartel Association (ÖCV). It is the oldest Catholic and non-striking student union in Vienna .
history
founding
The Catholic, sociable student association was founded on November 21, 1876 in return for liberal and German-national connections. In 1880 the name Austria was chosen as a commitment to the Austrian monarchy and the motto pro aris et focis . Despite the principle of adherence to the club character, Austria Wien developed into a connection, so pubs and Kommerse were held, and pub names have been documented since 1878. In 1882 the circle was accepted and a little later the duz comment was introduced. The establishment of the fux major and the physical relationship were also taken over from the corporation at this time. Austria thus became the first Catholic student union on the university grounds in Vienna.
On October 26, 1889, there was an oyster battle named after the association , in which members of Austria and the KAV Norica Vienna were beaten up by 600 to 800 hostile national-liberal students at the university. There were a total of 23 injured. The name refers to the members of Austria who are referred to as Viennese oysters .
Association foundations
The significant predominance of the Liberals on academic soil gave rise to a Catholic counter-movement. Like AV Austria Innsbruck , Norica Wien , who was dissected in 1883, immediately joined the German Cartel Association. The aim of Austria Wien, on the other hand, was to merge all of Austria's Catholic student associations into a separate Austrian Cartel Association. In the years 1886 and 1888, two further Catholic alliances were founded at Austrian universities. The Ferdinandea was born in Prague and the Carolina in Graz . With these two connections it was finally possible to agree on the constitution of an Austrian Cartel Association on the second Austrian Catholic Day in 1889, but the 1st ÖCV came to an end in 1895.
Austria Wien tried to re-establish the ÖCV by creating new connections from its own ranks. So the Rudolfina was founded in 1898 , and two years later further subsidiary connections Austriae Nordgau and Kürnberg were established . Negotiations with Innsbrucker Tirolia had already started beforehand . In 1900 the second Austrian Cartel Association was concluded between the Vienna connections of the oyster family and the Tirolia. The difficult situation of the Catholic student body, especially at the University of Vienna, made it absolutely necessary for all Catholic connections to come together. The longstanding competition between the two Cartel associations was therefore seen by many as a major mistake. As the crisis situation intensified more and more, Austria gave up the idea of the Austrian Cartel Association in favor of the creation of a unity of Catholic couleur students under the pressure of circumstances. After lengthy negotiations, Austria and its three subsidiary connections were solemnly included in the German CV in 1906, which ended the 2nd ÖCV.
3. ÖCV
When a National Socialist staff leader was finally placed in front of the CV association leadership, it was not possible for Austrian connections to remain in the overall association. It was decided to want to endure all the consequences rather than abandoning the ideal foundations of the CV. In a letter to the German suburb, it was finally announced that the Austrian connections had switched off from the Reich German CV with effect from July 10, 1933 and formed a separate association. The third Austrian Cartel Association was founded.
In Austria the severe crisis had only led to a strengthening of the CV concept. The first cartel assembly of the ÖCV was held in Vienna in 1933. New connections joined the association, through which the number of ÖCV corporations increased to 26 by 1935. The political tension grew more and more. Once again there were serious disputes, which were mainly fought on university grounds. Brutal acts of violence against CVers, which showed themselves in color, became more and more common.
In resistance
Immediately after the arrival of the German troops became known, most of the fraternity houses, as well as that of Austria, fell into looting. Soon afterwards Austria, like all CV corporations, was officially abolished and any further activity was strictly forbidden. A large-scale wave of arrests began, which did not stop at members of Austria. The connections continued to operate in secret even after the official dissolution. It was received and nursed, so that there were offspring, even if only to a limited extent. There were also resistance fighters in the ranks of Austria, particularly the secret group Gottfried Lerch , in which some members of Austria actively resisted the regime.
Reception in the present
The publicist Paul Lendvai mentions Austria Wien in his book Mein Österreich as the most influential ÖCV connection alongside Norica Wien , Bajuvaria Wien and KÖHV Nordgau Wien .
