The KDStV Thuringia zu Würzburg is a color-bearing, non-striking Catholic German student association that was founded on January 21, 1902. She belongs to the Cartell Association of Catholic German Student Associations (CV). The members of the KDStV Thuringia are called "Thuringians".

History of the KDStV Thuringia

History of the establishment and customs

The founding of the KDStV Thuringia was made possible by the repeal of the internal CV regulation that was valid until 1899/1900 that there should only be one Cartel connection at a university location. Therefore, on December 2, 1901, the KDStV Markomannia unanimously decided to split the active connection in order to establish a subsidiary .

The name of the connection refers to the settlement history of the Main Franconian area. Personal relationships existed mainly after Paderborn. The colors chosen were red-green-black for the boys and red-black for the foxes, each with golden percussion . The actual founding day is January 21, 1902. Since 1912, a red occiput has been worn as the head color, which shows the colors as a ribbon above the peak in reverse order. A medium-sized flat cap was worn until 1912.

The text of the federal song of the KDStV Thuringia “I am Thuringe, do you know my colors? ... ", was composed by Bernhard Pedraglia and is based on the Prussian song " Ich bin ein Pruße ... ".

The motto Thuringiae is "Forward and Upward". It comes from the pen of Würzburg Rector Herman Schell , who became an honorary member of the association in 1904. Hermann Schell also donated the dedication "Veritati" (lat. "For truth"), which can still be read today above the New University on Sanderring.

Founding years up to the First World War

At the time of the First World War , 139 out of 148 Thuringians were deployed on all fronts until they were demobilized and connection life was only possible to a very limited extent during this time. In the spring of 1919 Federal Brothers Thuringias, together with all other Würzburg student associations, were involved in the Freikorps and thus in the military suppression of the Spartacus uprising .

1920s

On January 17, 1919, under the direction of Thuringia, the merger of the Würzburg Catholic Corporations to form the “Catholic Corporations Convent” (KCC) was re-established. Likewise, with significant participation by Thuringia, the "Zweckverband der Würzburger Studentenkorporationen", unique in Germany at the time, was founded, which contributed to the reduction of tension between non-striking and striking connections and promoted the establishment of an AStA for Würzburg. The Thuringian Hermann Hagen, who was extraordinarily active, was elected chairman of the AStA, which was newly created in the summer semester of 1919. At the beginning of the winter semester of 1919, Thuringia took over the suburb of the Cartell Association under his leadership and hosted the 50th Cartell Assembly in Würzburg. Thanks to Hermann Hagen's significant participation as a representative of the Cartell Association, the Erlangen Association and Honorary Agreement signed on June 30, 1921, was finally brought to a successful conclusion.

A Thuringian women's association was active in the 1920s, and Elisabeth Helene von Thurn und Taxis took over as honorary chairman . She was the wife of Friedrich Christian von Sachsen (1893–1968) , a Thuringian Philistine. The time around the 25th foundation festival is seen as a high point in the development of the connection.

Thuringia during National Socialism

In the 1930s, which took place DC circuit of the connection being. Around 1930 the Philistine Senior Andreas Balling had warned within the fraternity of a "threat from the National Socialist wave". The Cartell Assembly, which met in Würzburg in 1935, decided to dissolve itself. Thuringia took this step together with the association and was subsequently expropriated.

Re-establishment after the Second World War

On April 13, 1948, the re-establishment of the Altherrenverband Thuringia e. V. approved by the American military government of Bavaria, so that on December 7, 1948 entry in the register of associations was also possible.

The next goal was the licensing of the active connection at the University of Würzburg, which was successfully completed with the approval letter from Rector Rösser on December 12, 1949. Even before the official approval, the corporation had taken part in the funeral ceremonies for Bishop Matthias Ehrenfried and in the Corpus Christi procession in May , making it public for the first time. Since the house, which had been expropriated in the 1930s, was not available, the first events were held in the Hotel Franziskaner.

With the purchase of a barracks in 1951 and the construction on a piece of land provided by Philistine Senior Andreas Balling below the Würzburger Käppele on Nikolausberg , the corporation was able to call a house its own again. In 1952 it was possible to celebrate the 50th anniversary in an appropriate setting, with representatives of all forms of corporation based in Würzburg taking part.

Connection history since 1959

When the house acquired in 1911 came back into the possession of the association at the end of the 1950s, the old building was used as living space, while the newly built house in 1959 was used for events. The house from 1911 was sold in 1986. The building, built in 1959, was fundamentally renovated with the proceeds in 1994. The items of equipment important for the connection found an appropriate place there. In 1979 the KDStV Thuringia provided the suburb of the Cartell Association for the second time. This year also saw the establishment of a subsidiary, the KDStV Bergisch-Thuringia Wuppertal. At Pentecost 2002 the KDStV Thuringia celebrated its 100th foundation festival. At the end of 2014, the KDStV Guelfia , which had been part of the Technical Cartell Association for a long time, merged with the KDStV Thuringia. Previously (2012) the KDStV Thuringia comprised around 300 federal brothers, including around 30 students.
