South German cartel

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Southern German Cartel is an amalgamation of six dutiful fraternities that have existed since 1861 . It is one of the oldest fraternity groups. It should not be confused with the South German cartel within the KSCV, which is around 60 years younger .

history

In the second half of the 19th century there were amalgamations of student associations . Umbrella associations and cartels were formed . One of the oldest cartels still in existence today is the South German Cartel.

The origin is the amalgamation of Teutonia Jena and Germania Erlangen in 1854, which at that time had been a close friendship for a long time . On May 18, 1861, Teutonia Jena and Germania Erlangen then founded the South German Cartel with Allemannia Heidelberg , Germania Tübingen and Allemannia auf dem Pflug zu Halle joining . In 1863 Teutonia Kiel joined the SK, while Allemannia left the cartel in 1872 on the plow in Halle. In 1924, the Königsberg fraternity Gothia (now part of Göttingen) joined the SK.

During the time when the fraternities were trying to create a common umbrella organization , the Eisenach Convention was founded at the suggestion of the SK in 1870 , but this only existed for two years. It was not until 1881 that an umbrella organization was created with the founding of the General Deputy Convent , to which the SK also belonged and which from 1902 called itself the German Burschenschaft . The South German Cartel withdrew from this on November 12, 1934. When the German Burschenschaft was re-established after the Second World War, the SK was a member again. Aktivitas Germania Erlangens left the umbrella organization on February 12, 1973 after the abolition of compulsory censorship as an association principle of the German Burschenschaft (DB) . Germania was eventually followed by the other groups of the SK over the years; some of the old rulers remained members for a while. The fraternity of Teutonia zu Jena later rejoined the DB. On June 17, 2006, the Teutonia zu Jena fraternity left the DB again. Since then, all of the SK's old property and activities are no longer members of the DB.

Principles

The South German Cartel sees itself as a federation of six universities and cannot be expanded. The intimate community shows itself through regular mutual visits and joint events. This results in many friendships with students outside of one's own university location. A single double membership in a non-SK fraternity and a SK-Bund is only permitted in exceptional cases and with the consent of the Cartel Day. Additional tapes can be added within the SK without any problems, taking into account the associated obligations. The South German Cartel strictly rejects a party-political or a denominational line as well as radical world views.
