history

Founded until the First World War

The association was founded as the Catholic German Student Association (KDStV) Marco-Danubia Vienna on November 26, 1908 as a subsidiary of KaV Norica Vienna through the transfer of seven Norica members . The connection was accepted in 1909 at the 45th Cartel Assembly in Breslau in the Cartell Association of Catholic German student associations .

The founding boys were (in the order in which they were received by "Norica"): Josef Fürnkranz, Hans Pernter , Josef Weinmeister, Rudolf Schober, Hugo Frh. Lederer, Franz Edlinger and Fritz Schatzmann

In 1910 they moved into a classic, old German-style student apartment on Türkenstrasse, which in the following years was to be the center of fraternal life.

In 1913 an old man's association was founded. This period (1908–1914) was later referred to as the first "bloom" of the connection.

After the First World War

During the First World War , the first war semester could only be opened with four boys, but they managed both the business of their own association and the chairmanship of the Vienna Cartell Association.

Heavily weakened by the war, Marco-Danubia asked the mother association for support in the summer semester of 1919, which allocated several boys and foxes to the daughter association, most of which left the association after a few weeks.

Between the wars and National Socialism

From the 1920s onwards, very intensive liaison operations began again with regular events, whereby the social element was always an important part of the corporation. Because of this social bond and obligations, intensive contacts arose with the connections of the so-called White Ring .

In 1928, on the occasion of the 20th foundation festival, the Marco-Danubia moved into a new booth at Florianigasse 46, which was extremely splendidly furnished by the company Gräf & Stift . This replaced the old home on Türkenstrasse and also shaped the appearance of the association as a men's club based on the English model. The years 1924–1933 should be the second heyday of the connection. Despite the relatively small size of the connection, they also had their own fax (Couleurdiener).

The national element of the connection was strengthened by the increased influx of Reich German Cartell brothers and the contacts to the White Ring. Some Marco-Danuben held leading positions in the student body. Walter Termak, member of Marco-Danubia and chairman of the Catholic youth organizations in Austria, demanded in 1932 that Austria's isolation from the mother country (!) Be overcome and that foreign, especially Jewish, influence be combated.

The Marco-Danubia was one of the first connections that made it compulsory for its members to belong to the local CV group Schlageter . This local group was a branch of the German school association "Südmark" founded in 1928 , which operated an uncompromising affiliation policy.

On July 10, 1933, Marco-Danubia split off together with the other Austrian Cartel associations and founded the Cartell Association of Catholic Austrian Student Associations .

The last new connections were made in 1937. It was officially disbanded after the German troops marched into Austria on June 10, 1938. This was preceded by a storming and sacking of the booth by the SA on March 12th, whereby the connecting flag and a pekesche that survived the Second World War were saved the morning before . Liaison member Karl Otto von Kummer perished in Buchenwald concentration camp in 1944 .

Post-war until today

Marco-Danubia was reconstituted on September 21, 1946. The name was changed to Catholic Academic Association (KaV). Thanks to the contacts of the former Philistine Senior Councilor Bruno Mathis with the Lower Austrian provincial government, after an interim solution in Langegasse, a booth in Bankgasse 1 in the 1st district could be moved into. After that the connection grew stronger and weaker in alternating phases, but steadily. In 1975/76 and 2000/01 Marco-Danubia was the chairman of the Vienna Cartell Association. In autumn 2008 Marco-Danubia celebrated her 100th foundation festival in the Palais Ferstel . The high proportion of lawyers, doctors and diplomats has shaped the socio-cultural connection in recent history.

Critical attitude towards the Cartell Association

The origin of the members from respected middle-class and aristocratic families means that the connection in the past and present places special emphasis on external appearance and social forms , similar to a corps. The German connection comment in particular has shaped Marco-Danubia since it was founded. Marco-Danubia has felt a part of the White Ring since the 1920s and maintained relevant contacts especially until 1933. Marco-Danubia had or maintains few or very few contacts with the other ÖCV connections, which often led to the belief in the CV that Marco-Danubia was pursuing arrogant and separatist tendencies.

Marco-Danubia still maintains very regular contacts to Ripuaria Freiburg im Breisgau and Zollern Münster through mutual visits and participation in foundation festivals. Marco-Danubia has exchanged a friendship bracelet with Ripuaria Freiburg, which is worn by the respective active senior. Together with Zollern Münster, Marco-Danubia and Ripuaria Freiburg are the only connections to wear a carnation on their lapel.

The white ring

The White Ring was a color student interest group within the Cartell Association, which officially existed from 1908 to 1923. Member connections were the Bavaria Bonn , the Burgundia Munich , the Ripuaria Freiburg im Breisgau and the AV Zollern . There were also other sympathetic connections, such as the Guestfalia Tübingen , the Thuringia Würzburg , the Rheno-Palatia Breslau , the Rheno-Franconia Munich and the Marco-Danubia Vienna .

In 1899 the principle of singularity within the Cartell Association was abolished. This was particularly requested by Aenania Munich . Since the Cartell Association, after abandoning this principle, had grown very quickly from only 26 associations to over 80 since the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, the question arose in some of the associations whether it would be advantageous to continue this development or not . In contrast to this, Bavaria developed a very close relationship with the Cartel connections of that time before abandoning the singularity principle, and then a more distant relationship. Bavaria sought contact with a few connections in university locations where Bavaren frequented. A close association developed from this, which was unofficially known as the White Ring.

At the Cartel Assembly in 1912, the Cartel fraternal Du was made mandatory for all members of the Cartel Association. This did not meet with unanimous support because it is customary to speak to you about members of associations of other umbrella organizations . For this reason, Bavaria also refused to refer to completely unknown Cartell brothers. Since a rejection of the Duz-Comment would have resulted in the exclusion of the relevant connections from the Cartell Association, the members of the White Ring decided to use terms on external Cartell brothers, but to address each other with you . Another external distinguishing feature was the wearing of a white carnation.

Guestfalia Tübingen contributed to the efforts that emerged in the Cartell Association from 1920 to abolish the Duz-Comment. The Guestfalia also advocated the three-semester principle in the case of Cartell compulsory . H. a three-semester activity prior to switching to a Cartell connection.

At the Cartel Assembly in 1923, members of the White Ring were officially banned from the Siez Comment.

Even today, the Marco-Danuben wear the white carnation on their lapels at pubs and other highly official events as a sign of belonging to the White Ring.
