Red stock market crash

The Rote Börsenkrach (RBK) is the oldest still existing basic group at the University of Vienna . It was founded in 1974. The student representative for economics at the University of Vienna is provided by representatives of the RBK.

Through this departmental representation, in which the RBK was always in charge, many of the students' concerns were enforced within the framework of student participation, including the appointment of Alexander Van der Bellens , who later became Federal President, as a full university professor for economics in 1977.

At that time Wilhelm Hemetsberger , until 2007 one of the board members of Bank Austria Creditanstalt , then known as "the red Willi", was among the student representatives of the Red Stock Market Crash . He described the phenomenon that a "left grassroots group" at a well-known economics faculty was able to quickly achieve recognition and successes as follows: “On top of that, you had to be technically skilled in order to be able to make sound scientific criticism: We were - please excuse me! - actually nerd. "

The Rote Börsenkrach has published a student magazine of the same name since it was founded .
