Cartel Convent

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Cartel Convent of the Associations of German Students of the Jewish Faith (KC) was a German national corporation association of Jewish student associations from 1896 to 1933 . In 1913 it had around 930 members in ten associations. In 1925 there were 26 connections.

Foundation and self-image

Heidelberg KC students (1906)

The KC was founded in 1896. “The Viadrina Breslau was founded as the first KC association by young doctors and a Jewish theologian. The memorandum reveals the founders' exceptional judgment and personal maturity. It wanted to strengthen the self-confidence of the Jewish population in general and of Jewish students in particular, which had been severely shaken by anti-Semitic propaganda ”()“ These goals show that their members were among those Jews who consciously felt themselves to be German citizens and through social developments had fallen behind. This group would have been important from the start if the granting of citizenship rights to Jews had not been carried out so stormily during the so-called emancipation . ”() In Königsberg, the largest Jewish community after Berlin and Breslau , the Friburgia (1912) belonged to the KC

By professing his satisfaction with the weapon, the Cartel Convent stood in opposition to the connections in the Association of Jewish Student Associations (in Königsberg the Maccabea of 1904). The KC cultivated saber fencing in a special way and sought recognition for its weapons. The Allgemeine Deutsche Waffenring refused, but did not refuse personal satisfaction.

When the so-called Jewish question was discussed in the entire student body in 1919 and the exclusion of all Jewish students from the German student body was demanded in Hanover and Munich, the Cartel Convent announced its losses in the First World War and the number of awards it had received.

From the Zionist point of view, the KC was part of the "defensive Jewry" that had formed with the intensification of German anti-Semitism and whose patriotic declarations and declarations of identity to Germanism were perceived as "undignified".
