meaning

Du Moulin-Eckart stood for the Greater German solution , but (as a Bavarian) was enthusiastic about the (Prussian) German Empire . He emerged mainly through his biographies on Otto von Bismarck , Hans von Bülow and Cosima Wagner . But he did not succumb to Wilhelminism . As early as 1913 - not just after the First World War - he campaigned for the merger of the Austrian corps with the German imperial corps . He referred to Alois von Brinz's recognized “necessity of ethnic cooperation with German Austria”. He recalled the time after Suevia's founding, when "belonging to the corps was a test of courage and a sacrifice":

“There is something great and noble in this struggle for band and circle, and something even greater in the fact that during this time of struggle for existence the corps gave itself laws that were stricter than the social views of the time, that they were in days The most lax application of the moral laws created a correct academic morality and developed a code of honor such as no other people had, and in Germany itself only the academic youth. This is where the real size of the German corps lies. "
