New German fraternity

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The New German Burschenschaft e. V. (NeueDB) is an association of fraternities in Germany . It was founded in 1996 by eight associations, including seven former member associations of the German Burschenschaft (DB), in Hanover on the fraternity house of the Hanoverian Burschenschaft Alt-Germania. In 2018, the NeueDB comprises eight fraternities at eight university locations in the Federal Republic of Germany. The association is based in Berlin . The motto of the association is "Freedom - Honor - Fatherland" (instead of " Honor - Freedom - Fatherland " of the German fraternity).

history

Founding members of the NeuenDB in 1996 were the fraternities Alt-Germania Hannover (founded 1874), Arminia Marburg (1860), Bubenreuther Erlangen (1817), Brunsviga Göttingen (1848), Ulmia Stuttgart (1881), Teutonia Hannover (1884), Obotritia Berlin ( 1886) and Markomannia Kaiserslautern (1920).

The founding of the NeuenDB was preceded by a dispute between the student associations organized in the German Burschenschaft. a. the question of compulsory censorship , the admission of students of other nationalities, the limitation of association membership to the Federal German territory or the German cultural area and the admission of conscientious objectors . In almost all points, the fraternities of the later NeueDB took positions contrary to their former association brothers. The fraternities of the current NeueDB rejected a possible reintroduction of compulsory censorship, as did the DB's “ people- related concept of fatherland”.

Since no agreement could be reached, some of the fraternities left the DB and then founded a new association.

The NeueDB is a member of the Convent of German Corporations Associations .

After the NeueDB temporarily consisted of up to 22 member associations, more than two thirds of them have left the association since 2011.
