Keresztény Diákegyesülletek Kartellzövetsége
Keresztény Diákegyesülletek Kartellszövetsége (KEDEX) was a Hungarian umbrella organization of Catholic student associations with formerly four local associations.
history
Hungarian students as nationals are mentioned when the University of Vienna was founded in 1365 . The first student associations arose two hundred years ago, especially at the mining colleges, for example the Montanuniversität Leoben and the city of Schemnitz ( Banská Štiavnica in today's Slovakia), which at that time still belonged to the Kingdom of Hungary .
In Vienna in 1862 there was a purely Hungarian corporation, the Corps Társas-Kör . A Corps Franconia was founded by students of the German-speaking minority in Ofen (Budapest) in 1867, but it was extinguished before the First World War. It was followed in 1918 by the Association of German University Students Gothia (later Suevia) and in 1919 by the fraternity Langobardia founded from Gothia . In the city of Pressburg , which belonged to Hungary until 1918 , there was also a German-speaking corporation at times.
On a broad basis, however, the Federatio Emericana opened up corporations to the Hungarians. It was founded on June 20, 1921 by high school graduates from the Cistercian high school in Budapest and was a Catholic corporation association. Their patron was St. Emmerich (hence the name). She wore green hats in the respective colors and had around 12,000 members in 60 corporations on the eve of the Second World War. After the ban in 1946, members who had fled later found contact with the CV .
Modern times
In 1983, after some difficulties, the MKV began official contacts with the few remaining Catholic religious high schools in Hungary and organized an annual student exchange. This is how Hungarian middle school students in Austria got to know and become enthusiastic about liaison services. In 1989, Danubia Budapest was established as the first Hungarian secondary school association, and in 1990 Pax et Bonum Esztergom (Gran) followed. In 1991 in Pécs (Fünfkirchen) the KDSt.V. Suevia-Danubia Fünfkirchen founded, which now belongs to the CV as a free connection .
Of the connections, the member connections Danubia Budapest (founded in 1989), Pax et Bonum Esztergom (founded in 1990), Puszta Kecskemét (founded in 1993) and Suevia-Danubia Fünfkirchen have in fact been set up.
In 2002 the Austro-Hungarian circle called Collegium Corvinum was founded in Budapest to enable members of various Catholic student associations from the ÖCV , ÖKV , MKV and KÖL associations to exchange ideas.
The KEDEX dissolved before 2012.
