history

Ornamental flag from the founding time

In November 1919, a group of middle school students from the Staatsgymnasium in Vienna's 3rd district founded the Catholic Middle School Association Frankonia in the parish of St. Rochus. Since there were already Matura candidates among the members at that time, the intention was to later also accept students in this connection. However, this form of a student union for middle school and college students was not permitted under association law. Thus, on June 19, 1920, the boys' convention of Frankonia decided to found the Catholic academic association Bajuvaria. As early as 1923, Bajuvaria had enforced the difficult to obtain right to appear in colors at the university.

In 1932 the connection followed in the CV. The pressure of the National Socialists on the Austrian CV connections led to their separation from the CV in 1933 and the establishment of the Austrian Cartel Association (ÖCV) . The corporations of the ÖCV excluded National Socialists from their ranks and Bajuvaren were also active in leading positions in the struggle for an independent Austria. Above all, one of the founders, Eduard Chaloupka , should be mentioned here, who had worked in the Federal Commissioner for Personnel Affairs since March 1934, at a position which u. a. should reprimand illegal National Socialists in the civil service. Immediately after Hitler's invasion, the Bajuvaria was banned, some members lost their jobs, were taken into custody or even taken to concentration camps. Numerous Bajuvars kept in contact with one another during the Nazi era and were involved in resistance groups.

In autumn 1945 an improvised liaison operation could be resumed. A highlight for the commitment to a free Austria was the foundation party on the eve of the signing of the State Treaty. On May 14, 1955, Bajuvaria awarded Chancellor Julius Raab her ribbon of honor, in the presence of Foreign Minister Leopold Figl, who had already received the ribbon in 1947, and the apostolic nuncio Archbishop Giovanni Dellepiane .

In July 2016 Bajuvaria officially announced her candidacy for the suburb of the ÖCV and was unanimously elected in January 2017. This was the fourth time that Bajuvaria held this office after 1968/69, 1972/73 and 1996/97. The local president for the 2017/18 academic year was Michael Jayasekara. Jayasekara followed in the footsteps of Claus Raidl , who was elected suburb president of the ÖCV for the first time in 1968 for the Bajuvaria. During the 2017/18 term of office, the public awareness of the ÖCV in particular increased.

Connecting life

The KAV Bajuvaria is divided into a student association (the Aktivitas) and an old men association. With around 50 active members and 350 old men, it has around 400 members, making it one of the larger connections in Vienna. Its members come from various disciplines at the University of Vienna, the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, the Medical University of Vienna, the University of Economics and others.

Since its inception, the Bajuvaria has cultivated traditional student customs and lives according to the four principles (Religio, Patria, Scientia, Amicitia) that are common to all connections in the ÖCV.

Bajuvaria has a ribbon and cover (color) as a color-bearing connection. The colors are dark blue-red-gold. The motto is "For people and faith".

Booth history

Bajuvaren House (from 1980)

Since the 1950s, Bajuvaria has developed from a small country road connection to a large connection that not only required a new connection home, but also a communication center that was easily accessible to all members. In 1958 the connection moved to the 1st district, to Walfischgasse 4. These rooms also included the Kärntnertor-Theater (today's StadtTheater walfischgasse ), the rooms of which were repeatedly rented to various ensembles. In 1969, this was even discussed in the debate on the federal accounts of the 129th session of the National Council. The topic was leasing the Kärntnertor Theater to the federal government. The ÖVP government was accused by the opposition of supporting the Bajuvaria with this lease. The restaurant in Walfischgasse could no longer meet the needs of a student union.

In 1980, with the aim of creating a new home on two floors for the Bajuvaria, the upper floors of the vacant and dilapidated house in Vienna 1., Naglergasse 13, were acquired. The renovation required a lot of planning, energy and time from everyone involved. From the foundations to the roof, the whole house had to be completely renovated.

The inauguration of the new Bajuvarenbude took place on November 20, 1982 by Archbishop Cesare Zacchi , who himself belonged to the association. It was named "Dr. after the founding boy, long-time Philister Senior of the Bajuvaria and at the same time chairman of the association management of the ÖCV. Eduard Chaloupka -Bude ”.

Reception in the present

The connection is mentioned by Paul Lendvai , an Austrian publicist, in his book Mein Österreich and ranked among the most influential ÖCV connections.

Since July 2017, Bajuvaria has been running the ÖCV as a "suburb" under suburban president Michael Jayasekara for one year, which means that the connection appears regularly in the media due to the publicity associated with this function.
