history

Ripuaria Freiburg was on 6 June 1899 of the Albert-Ludwigs-University of Freiburg founded and entered in the same year the Cartellverband at. The parent connection is the KDStV Hercynia Freiburg im Breisgau .

The Ripuarenhausverein was founded in 1904, and in 1910 it was able to inaugurate the Ripuarenhaus, which was specially built as a fraternity house in Schlierbergstrasse. During the First World War, the entire Aktivitas volunteered and 29 Ripuars were killed.

An episode from 1934 exemplifies the clashes between old corporations and the Nazi student body. In 1934 the Ripuaria was suspended by the university administration at the instigation of the Reichsführer NSDStB Oskar Stäbel . This was preceded by a dispute between the association and local SA men: A Fux , who was also a Freiburg SA functionary and SA squad leader in Düren , was expelled after a court of honor. With this, Ripuaria made itself suspicious of the "reaction" in Nazi student circles and was accused of a planned hike on November 12, 1933, the day of the Reichstag election , as a demonstrative abstention. Student leader Heinrich von zur Mühlen asked Ripuaria to inspect files. After this request was delayed, the excluded stormed the fraternity house with cronies. The liaison spokesman was subsequently arrested and the liaison was eventually suspended. On the intervention of Ripuar Edmund Forschbach , member of the Reichstag and leader of the CV , Stäbel lifted the suspension. Heinrich von zur Mühlen resigned as Freiburg student leader because of this public defeat. In a letter to Stäbel, the rector of the university, Martin Heidegger , demanded that Stäbel be reinstated and pointed out the dangers of Catholicism: “This public victory for Catholicism must not remain in any case. […] One still does not know Catholic tactics. And one day it will be hard to take revenge. "

Color

Ripuaria Freiburg has the colors "violet-white-gold" with silver percussion . A white cap is also worn. Foxes are initially given a purple-white band. The motto of the Ripuaria is unitati victoria! ("Victory for unity!").

Fraternity house

The Ripuarenhaus is located at Schlierbergstrasse 15 on the southwest slope of the Lorettoberg . It was created according to a design by the architect and Ripuaren Hermann Geis in the style of a Black Forest house . The foundation stone was laid on June 9, 1909, for the tenth foundation festival. The construction was completed a year later.

The house planned by liaison members was already able to come up with special features such as running water and an electric door opener. In 1951 the compound came back into the possession of their house. It is now the oldest, still preserved and for this purpose built fraternity house in Freiburg.

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 Bavaria Bonn , Burgundia Munich, Ripuaria Freiburg im Breisgau and AV Zollern. There were also sympathetic connections, for example Guestfalia Tübingen , Rheno-Palatia Breslau, Rheno-Franconia Munich and Marco-Danubia Vienna .

In 1899 the singularity principle within the Cartell Association was abolished, which was particularly requested by Aenania Munich . After the Cartell Association, after abandoning this principle, had grown very quickly from only 26 connections from the turn of the 19th to the 20th century to over 80 connections, the question arose in some connections whether it would be advantageous to continue this development or not . Bavaria maintained a very close relationship with the Cartel connections that were established before the abandonment of the singularity principle. Above all, Bavaria sought contact with a few connections in university locations where Bavaren often studied. A close association developed from this, which was unofficially referred to as the White Ring in the following years.

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

The external distinguishing feature in the white ring was the wearing of a white carnation.

Even today, the Ripuars wear the white carnation in their lapels at pubs and other highly official events as a sign of their affiliation with the White Ring.
