history

1855-1872

While the corps merged in the KSCV in 1855 , the fraternities had greater difficulties in founding their own cross-wing association because of the disputes between their wings at that time . This is how the North German Cartel came into being as a group of progressive fraternities in 1855.

The North German Cartel, which in its heyday comprised nine predominantly northern and central German fraternities, described itself as Germanistic , which meant it wanted to tie in with the tradition of the Germanic fraternities of the pre-March period . According to Matthias Stickler , the North German cartel was progressive . The Carolingia Prague fraternity left the cartel in 1869 because the progressive element was increasing. The cartel, which called itself the Federation of German Democratic Fraternities , sought to unite Germany on a democratic basis. The majority of his fraternities were republican in the early days.

As a means of education for the members of the cartel, the zealously pursued political-scientific circles , whose protocols were exchanged, were to serve. From 1861 to 1866 the cartel published its own magazine, the Akademische Zeitung . Gymnastics was made compulsory for members. They maintained close contact with bourgeois liberalism , asked members to join gymnastics , singers and rifle clubs , which were of considerable political importance at the time, and demanded a lively participation in political life in the interests of the German National Association and the liberal Prussian Progress Party . Above all, it accepted their main point of the program of the small German solution under the leadership of a liberalized Prussia . This was in contrast to the large majority of the large German fraternities.

The NK endeavored to impose its political direction on the short-lived fraternity association Eisenacher Burschenbund, founded in 1864 .

The political fluctuation between the Greater and the Little German attitudes - with or without Austria - encouraged the disintegration of the cartel, which began in 1866, which led to its dissolution in 1872 - one year after the Lower German Empire was founded . The conscious cultivation of patriotic political education, which later became common property of the entire fraternity, is seen as the lasting merit of this cartel.

Established in 1963

In 1920 a cartel was founded with the Red Direction (RR), which saw itself as the successor to the North German cartel and was largely composed of its former member associations. After the Burschenschaftliche Gemeinschaft (BG) was founded in 1961 by members of the RR, a dispute arose in the RR in the summer of 1963 about whether simultaneous membership in the BG and the RR should be possible.

Thereupon the BG fraternities left the RR and founded their own cartel on November 30, 1963 at the house of the fraternity Normannia zu Heidelberg , for which they revived the name of the North German Cartel . Today it consists of three fraternities.
