Member associations of the KDV with coat of arms

The KDV ( Catholic German Association of Colored Student Corporations ) is a corporation association of today seven associations in Germany, which was founded in 1891. Between 1909 and 1912 all connections of the KDV, which was also called "small CV ", also entered the "large CV ". The formerly independent association became an unofficial, but internally and externally closed subdivision of the CV , whereby the KDV still highly values ​​its internal sovereignty.

history

The KDV was founded on April 7, 1891 in Mönchengladbach as a cartel association of Catholic German student corporations and existed until 1911. Since 1905 it has been called the Catholic German Association of Colored Student Corporations (KDV).

The motto of the KDV was deo et patriae (For God and Fatherland), its association colors were black-white-red. The body of the KDV was called Universitas .

After there had been efforts since 1902 for a merger with the Cartell Association of Catholic German Student Associations (CV), which had existed since 1856 , the member associations of the KDV joined the CV in the years 1910 to 1912. Due to youth problems, Arminia resigned as the first association from the KDV on December 1, 1909, changed to the Catholic German Student Association and joined the Cartell Association on August 20, 1910. The other connections of the KDV successively followed the example of Arminia from 1911 to 1912. Since he had only given up his singularity principle in 1899 , according to which there could only be one CV connection at each university location, the CV up to this point in time could not join similarly oriented, but later established connections. Because of the largely identical corporate orientation, the KDV was sometimes also called Kleiner CV .

The KDV founding connections Novesia Bonn and Sauerlandia Münster entered into a cartel relationship based on the principles of religio (Catholicism), scientia (science) and amicitia (friendship) and included the rejection of the student duel . Later seven more associations were added, most of which were founded out of the association. The KDV consisted of:
