The Catholic German student association Franco-Raetia zu Würzburg in the CV is a non- striking , color-bearing , Catholic student association founded in Würzburg in 1905 . She is a member of the Cartell Association of Catholic German Student Associations (CV).

history

The connection was founded on June 15, 1905 by the decision of the KBStV Rhaetia Munich as a branch connection. The Rhaetia Munich is made up of former members of the KDStV Aenania Munich , which belonged to the color-bearing Catholic Cartel Association (CV). On December 2, 1905, the corporation was approved by the Senate of the Royal University of Würzburg . This resulted in a rare constellation in German corporations: a connection with branches in two different cities was established. So the Rhaetia was seen as a connection, with two active groups, two corporation houses (or pubs), two semester programs and separate active batches, but with a common old manor. They saw themselves as a common bond of life, and accordingly addressed each other as a fraternity.

After all active students had died in World War I , the student union was re-established in 1920. After the offspring failed to appear and the active operation at two locations was questioned, Rhaetia Herbipolensis separated from the Munich branch in 1924 and was renamed the Catholic Landsmannschaft Franko-Rhätia .

The relationship with the parent relationship was tense or non-existent for many years, but has relaxed since the 1980s. Today the connections maintain a lively and friendly exchange. Rhaeten and Franco-Raeten address each other as fraternal fraternal "you" based on their common history and common couleur.

The still rural orientation was extended to the whole of southern Germany , so that members outside of the Bavarian tribes could also be accepted. Consent to admission to the Cartell Association was prevented several times due to the southern German orientation. In 1926 it was finally converted into a Catholic German student fraternity Franco-Rhaetia , the connection was also opened for northern Germans . On July 31, 1930, the association was initially accepted as a so-called Free Association and in 1933 as a full member of the Cartell Association.

After the National Socialist harmonization in 1933, the climate for student associations became more difficult. After the forced dissolution of the CV in 1935 and the abandonment of the catholicity principle brought about by the pressure of the National Socialists, it was renamed the German student union Franco-Raetia. As a reaction to this and the loss of the right to exist as a Catholic association, the self-dissolution of Aktivitas took place immediately in 1935. In 1937 the old gentlemen's association was officially dissolved.

After the Second World War , the old gentlemen's association re-established it as the Catholic German student association Franco-Raetia in 1949. As early as the early 1960s, Franco-Raetia opened up to foreign students and took in Yoshihiko Sugano, former board member at Mitsubishi Materials , for the first time a Japanese. In the meantime, students from Romanians, Poland and the Czech Republic have also become active. As a result of the 1968 movement , Franco-Raetia was significantly involved in the establishment of the Intercorporative Convent Würzburg (ICC), which encompasses the Würzburg student associations of all directions, but has since resigned. Since 1991 the connection has been open to students from all universities in Würzburg, the Julius Maximilians University of Würzburg , the University of Music Würzburg and the University of Applied Sciences Würzburg-Schweinfurt . In 2005, the 100th anniversary of the association was celebrated in the large hall of the student house. Since then, like the other CV connections, she has seen an increase in new members.

In the past in 1998/1999 and 2015/2016, the KDStV Franco-Raetia, together with the other Würzburg CV connections, provided the suburb of the Cartel Association of Catholic German Student Associations (CV), which currently has around 30,000 members .

Circle F-Rt!

Franco-Raetia is a color-bearing connection. Their colors are cherry red - white - light blue . The identical color is traditionally worn from the shared times with the parent association Rhaetia Munich . The colors represent a combination of the Bavarian state colors and the original colors of the Counts of Scheyern-Wittelsbach . The colors are also symbols of love , innocence and loyalty . This is also the reason why the fox ribbon has the colors "red and white". The head color is a semi-rigid flat cap in the connecting colors.

The Franco-Raetiae motto is “Cum fide virtus”, which is the Latin translation of the motto of the Wittelsbach House Knights Order of St. Hubertus and the Bavarian Army “In Treue fest”.

The compass consists of the letters “V”, “C”, “F” and “R”. As with the parent connection, the original meaning is controversial, but stands for “Vivat, crescat, floreat Franco-Raetia!” (In German: Long live, grow, bloom Franco-Raetia! ). In contrast to the parent connection, the middle loop of the “R” “crosses” the middle line and creates a new “F” with reference to Franconia and the Franconian Raeten.

The number in the internal order of the Cartell connections is 89. The official abbreviation is F-Rt .

Fraternity house

For a long time, the connection rooms of the connection changed. It was not until the summer of 1957 that the connection house at Sonnenstrasse 13 could be bought. In 2007 the roof and facade were renewed based on the historical model, and the interior was renovated in 2013. The facade of the house is since the acquisition in 1957 under monument protection . It is one of the few houses that survived the bombing raid on Würzburg on March 16, 1945 in Sanderau unscathed. In addition to the usual event and social rooms, the house offers space for eight student rooms.
