history

Foundation and heyday

On June 1, 1850, five theology students founded the Rostock Wingolf. The founders had previously all been members of the Berlin Wingolf and / or Erlanger Wingolf . On return to their Mecklenburg home they founded on the model of young Wingolfsverbindungen in Rostock a Wingolfsverbindung.

The early years turned out to be very difficult, as it was only moderately possible to get students to join. Again and again, the Rostock Wingolf was on the verge of dissolution and had to be supported by visiting federal brothers from the Wingolfsbund. The Rostock Wingolf had his regular meeting point at this time in Warnemünde .

Charge of the Rostock Wingolf (1904)

With the strengthening of other student associations in Rostock, especially the Corps , it was easier for the Rostock Wingolfites to find their place in the city and the university. At the beginning of the 20th century, the Rostock Wingolf was one of the strongest Wingolf connections. In the 1890s, the suburbs for the Wingolf Association were also taken over, although the number of boys was rather small compared to other Wingolf associations ( Hallenser Wingolf , Erlanger Wingolf , Heidelberger Wingolf etc.). The active life was now determined by regular pubs and theologizing, building a house was considered. In 1913 a house in Friedrichstrasse could be moved into.

National Socialism and the time of adjournment

The Rostock Wingolf had to adjourn under the Nazi regime in 1936. The house was sold in 1938. However, the ordered liquidation was not carried out in full. An old man's organization remained, albeit covertly.

After the Second World War , the Clausthal Wingolf "Catena" was founded in Clausthal-Zellerfeld. For the 100th foundation festival of the Rostock Wingolf, which had to be celebrated in Göttingen due to the adjournment in 1950 , the present Philistines of the Rostock Wingolf declared themselves ready to enter into a mutual sponsorship relationship with the newly founded Clausthal Wingolf "Catena". This initially included the support of the "Catena" through the Phil Championship of the Rostock Wingolf, since it could not be re-established due to the political conditions in the GDR . In 1958, the Rostock Wingolf Phil championship decided to offer the Rostock Band to those charged. In this way it was ensured over the decades that the Rostock Wingolf idea did not die out. These traditional adoptions are common practice in the Wingolfsbund.

After the political change and the reunification of the two German states, considerations arose to re-establish the East German Wingolf associations, including the Rostock Wingolf. The Clausthaler Catenen with the Rostocker Band founded a new house building association for the Rostock Wingolf, which was still postponed, on October 5, 1991.

Re-establishment and current situation

After the political change and the reunification of the two German states, considerations arose to re-establish the East German Wingolf associations, including the Rostock Wingolf. The Clausthaler Catenen with the Rostocker Band founded a new house building association for the Rostock Wingolf, which was still postponed, on October 5, 1991. From 1995 active people lived in Rostock again. At first, Wingolfite life found space in various residential communities and floors before the new fraternity house could be inaugurated in 2002.

Even after the re-establishment, the good relationship between the Rostock Wingolf and the Clausthal Wingolf "Catena" is reflected, for example, in the jointly celebrated foundation festivals. The Rostock Wingolf currently has more than 30 student members. Since the late 1990s, the Rostock Wingolf has been organizing the so-called "beach bar" , which takes place directly on the Baltic Sea beach.

The "Wilhelm Hagemeyer House"

The Rostock Wingolf renovated an old gabled house at An der Hege 11 in 2000 and 2001 , which was only a ruin at the beginning of the work. The oldest parts of the house date from the 13th century, which is why it is one of the oldest preserved houses in Rostock. The renovation was only possible thanks to a generous donation to the Rostock Wingolf, who was able to rededicate the house in 2002 after all the work had been successfully completed. Since then it has housed the Rostock Wingolf's activities. The house takes its name from the foundation "Married Wilhelm and Elisabeth Hagemeyer" , which made the renovation possible.
