history

On June 13, 1898, the Rudolfina was founded in Vienna as a daughter of the Catholic student union Austria Wien . The patron saint was Duke Rudolf IV “the founder”, who had the university in Vienna - the Alma Mater Rudolphina - built in 1365 .

The boy colors were gold, white and red, a union of the papal and Austrian colors, and the fox colors were red, white and red, the colors of the Babenbergs . The hats were made of moss green velvet. In view of the disputes between German national and Catholic connections about academic equality at the time, the founders chose “Nec aspera terrent!” (“Adversity is not afraid”) as their motto.

The coat of arms of the association, designed in 1901 by Johann Kirchberger, the palace chaplain of Schönbrunn, artistically executed by Patriz Meidler, has the form of a Gothic shield consisting of four fields. The upper left field contains a silver cross on a red background as a symbol of faith, the upper right field the image of Rudolf the Founder on a blue background as a symbol of patriotism, the lower left blue field a hand with an open book as a symbol of science and the lower right field a cup surrounded by blossoming roses on a green background as a symbol of the bond of life . An applied center shield shows the connection colors and the compass .

Also in 1901 the flag of the connection was completed. This shows on the front the colors of the connection and in the circular center shield the connection coat of arms as well as the words “Rudolfina sei's Panier” and the motto “Nec aspera terrent”. The back bears the image of Leopold III. ( Patron saint of Austria and Vienna). The act of consecration took place in the Karlskirche . The Emperor's daughter, Archduchess Marie-Valerie , took over the flag sponsorship.

Second ÖCV and Cartell Association

While three of the oldest Catholic-Austrian student associations, Austria Innsbruck (1864), Norica Wien (1883) and Carolina Graz (1888) were organized in the German Cartell Association, Austria Wien (1876) tried in an "Austrian solution", the Catholic connections on the To unite the territory of the then Danube Monarchy. Austria Innsbruck , Norica and Carolina could not be won over because they wanted to stay in the CV.

Analogous to the establishment of the German CV, Austria Wien entered into a similar agreement from 1900 to 1906 with Tirolia Innsbruck and Austria’s three subsidiary associations (Rudolfina Vienna, Nordgau Vienna and Kürnberg Vienna) and thus established a short-lived association called the Austrian Cartel Association ( 2nd ÖCV 1900– 1906, see forerunner of the Austrian Cartel Association ).

In 1906 Rudolfina was accepted into the Cartell Association of Catholic German Student Associations, the second ÖCV disbanded.

In 1933 Rudolfina took part, together with all other Austrian connections of the Cartell Association, in the so-called "shutdown" of the CV threatened by the pressure of conformity and became a member of the third ÖCV, the Austrian Cartel Association , which still exists today .

The federal song of today's Austrian Cartel Association, Auf des Glaubens Felsengrunde , was written by Peter Diem , a member of the Rudolfina.
