Historical

Predecessor organizations

Singers from Zollern zu Tübingen

The beginnings of the Zollern connection , which was not originally colored, go back to the winter of 1878/79. In the summer semester of 1879, statutes were passed, the name Zollern was adopted and the date of foundation set for June 29, 1879. The designation “Society” was then changed to “Connection” in 1881, and at that time a separate coat of arms with the motto “Concordia, Libertas, Honor” was also chosen.

During the First World War, the active business of the singers ceased in Tübingen. 154 out of 180 Zollern were under arms, 31 of them were killed. Shortly after the World War, the name connection was changed to singers and acquired a house in Tübingen, the so-called Ballhaus (today the sausage kitchen in the old town of Tübingen). In 1929 the ballroom became too small for the larger number of members, so the imposing summer villa of Duke Philipp Albrecht von Württemberg , today: the Franco-German Cultural Institute of Tübingen, was acquired .

In 1935 there was a merger with Hohenheim Cheruskia . After the dissolution of the German choir on October 20, 1935, the corporation of Aktivitas was stopped in November 1935. In place of the active association, there was the Alter Zollern Association, which included the old men and former active members .

Singers Wettina Freiburg

On July 1, 1910, nine boys from five singers 'groups founded the Wettina Freiburg singers at the regulars' table of the Weimar CCers . One went into a paucity relationship with the gymnastics club Markomannia-Albertia . 14 Wettins died in the First World War, and corporate life was resumed in 1919. In 1923 the membership was 98 men. The determination censorship was introduced in 1932. In 1934 they moved into a tenement house at Schöneckstrasse 8. On March 22, 1936, the Wettina itself dissolved, with a membership of 133 men. Another 22 Wettins were killed in World War II.

In 1951, at a meeting in Hattenheim, it was decided to found a new viable union with other singers. At that time there were 72 members with 18 members in the eastern zone. The old gentlemen's association of Wettina remained. The federal government dissolved itself in 1985.

Singers Fridericiana Halle

The Halle AGV (Academic Choral Society), which can be seen as the forerunner of the Fridericiana, was founded in 1825. The name Fridericiana has been used since April 27, 1866 . The first concert took place in 1868. From then on there was at least one major public concert every year. In 1870, 14 members took part in the Franco-Prussian War.

Four active and nine inactive left in 1874 and founded Askania (SV). This later became the Salia Halle singers by splitting off in 1889 . This merged after 1945 with Hohenstaufen Marburg to form the singers Hasso-Salia Marburg . This rejoined the Fridericiana in 1999. In 1896 the three-colored hats and ribbons are introduced, with the colors blue-white-blue. Café Barbarossa at Jägerplatz 14 was bought in 1899 and converted into a fraternity house.

The name change to the singers Fridericiana took place in 1906. About 300 members took part in the First World War, 59 of them died. In 1926 the 60th Foundation Festival took place with a participation of over 800 people. The total strength of the Fridericiana is about 700 members. In 1928 the censorship and the first Fridericiana singing week were introduced. On February 8, 1936, the Fridericiana was dissolved. During the Second World War, the entire inventory of the Fridericianahaus was lost.

In 1990 the plan of the old gentlemen's association in Halle arose to get an active business and the Fridericianahaus again. With the support of the old men of the Hohentübingen singers, the old house was successfully brought back after years. In 1996, after 60 years, another foundation festival took place in the Fridericianahaus.

Singers from Hohentübingen zu Tübingen

The Zollern zu Tübingen choir was "officially" dissolved during the Third Reich. In 1949, the “Zollern” met for the 70th foundation festival and came up with the idea of ​​founding a new singers' band. Shortly after the war, the "Zollern" were financially very weak, the former liaison house was no longer available and many members had either died or lived in the eastern zone. One no longer had enough members and financial means to found a new singing body. For this reason, members from the singers Fridericiana Halle , Wettina Freiburg and Zollern zu Tübingen came together to form a merger.

Choosing a name was not easy, as none of the founding singers should be preferred. They named themselves after the Hohentübingen Castle . The first Aktivitas consisted of three support boys from the Holsatia Hamburg singers . The first events took place in the Hotel König. In 1953 a house was finally bought for 60,000 DM and, after lengthy renovation work, moved into in the summer semester of 1954. At that time, the Hohentübingen choir had 48 members, in 1957 it had already over 100.

In 1963 the large Kneipsaal and the terrace were added, which gave the house its present form. In 2000, the active business almost had to be stopped because too few young members joined. In recent years, however, again recorded in young members, the number of assets to more than 30, a significant increase lads and Füxe lifted.

Self-image

The task of the Hohentübingen singers is the intergenerational, intercultural and international exchange between academics and future academics . In addition, the course is to be expanded to include musical aspects (singing, choir performances).

The non-profit 'Studienstiftung Hohentübingen', founded in 2015, has set itself the goal of promoting students and doctoral candidates, preferably in the Tübingen-Hohenheim University Association, as well as art, culture and traditional customs.

The Hohenstaufia gymnastics association is the association of the Hohentübingen singers who give gun protection.
