As a rule, black connections are those students or pupils connections that are neither colored nor colored . Its members therefore have no color , and there are no connecting colors on flags or in the coat of arms . Often, however, there is a circle as a distinguishing feature.

Color-leading associations, whose members do not wear a ribbon or hat , but have a flag in connecting colors, are sometimes referred to as black associations.

The coat of arms of the AV Igel with the mocking colors "black-gray-mouse-gray-silver-gray"

Black connections emerged at the beginning of the second half of the 19th century. The renunciation of colors mostly served the explicit demarcation from the great majority of the student associations, which orientated themselves on the corps . When, on the occasion of the Schiller Year, a finch shank movement among non-incorporated students arose in many places , the black connections also took part; the establishment of a joint organization failed in 1863 due to differences of opinion.

The first and oldest non-colored German student union is AMV Stochdorphia Tübingen, founded on January 15, 1857 .

The Academic Association Igel Tübingen , founded in 1871, has the colors “black-gray – mouse-gray – silver-gray” in its coat of arms, which are intended to ridicule the colors of the other associations. Many originally black connections became colored in the course of their history.

History of the Miltenberg-Wernigeroder Ring (MWR)

In the first half of the 20th century, the black principle included not only the rejection of color and the scale but also the commitment to unconditional satisfaction . Important associations of black student associations at this time were the Wernigeroder Association (WV) and the Black Ring (SR), which merged in 1933 to form the Wernigeroder Black Ring (WSR), the Rothenburg Association of Black Associations and the Miltenberger Ring, which is now again in existence .
