The Schwizerhüsli Basel student association is a student association at the University of Basel . It is the founding association of the Falkenstein Association . Like all Falkensteiner associations, the Schwizerhüsli rejects Duell and Mensur . It was founded on September 11, 1847 at the University of Basel and was one of the first non-defeating Christian student union in Switzerland to reject the duel (next to Zähringia Freiburg / Ue 1843 in the SchwStV)

The colors of the Schwizerhüsli are green-gold-black. The connection is the owner of a house in Basel, in the cellar of which the Crocodil (Croc) is always available for use as a connection location.

Since 2009, the Schwizerhüsli Young Talent Award for the best master's thesis at the university has been awarded annually at the dies academicus , which is sponsored by the student association.

history

From the foundation to the First World War

In 1847, four students formed an association in Basel. This should keep the students away from the allure of the student life of the time and awaken a sense of Christian friendship in them. The club lacked external forms. They met every Saturday for a chat. Association statutes were soon drawn up. In 1848, however, the students separated from the Philistines and founded an "Association of Christian Students".

In 1853 the association became a colored association with the name "Schwizerhüsli". This transformation happened under the influence of Wingolf . Two Schwizerhüsli had studied in Erlangen and, together with a Swiss Wingolfite who was active in the Schwizerhüsli, converted the club into a connection. Both the Wingolf and the Schwizerhüsli had similar goals. Both were against the outward appearance of the existing student associations and demanded student associations that cultivated the Christian attitude. In 1853 the Schwizerhüsli entered the sequence of the Wingolfs connections, but without voting rights. Wingolfites were allowed to be active in the Schwizerhüsli without an internship and vice versa.

At the same time, however, the Schwizerhüsli tried to maintain contacts with like-minded students from other Swiss cities. This is how it went with a revelation circle founded in Zurich in 1850. That wreath dissolved again in 1853. In 1858, the Schwizerhüsli from Röttel Castle called on Christian students in Switzerland to form student associations. However, there was no success.

In the winter semester of 1862/63, the establishment of a Zurich subsidiary was considered in Basel. Four Schwizerhüsler moved to Zurich. Wreaths of edification took place, but they silted up again.

In 1861 the binding legal relationship with Wingolf was broken off. In 1873 the Schwizerhüsli was resumed in the same. The conditions were the same as in 1853. From 1880, there was mutual compulsory activity between the Schwizerhüsli and the Wingolf.

In 1888, a related association was finally established in Bern, the Zähringia , and in 1893 the Carolingia Turicensis in Zurich. Now these three connections formed the Falkensteinerbund , which established a friendship relationship with the Wingolfsbund. that continues to this day with interruptions. The compulsory activity between Schwizerhüsli and the Wingolfsbund existed until the beginning of the 20th century. Today there is only a mutual admission relationship. Among the members of the Wingolfs- and Falkensteinerbunds, however, "Duz-Comment" still applies.

The time since the First World War

In 1920 there was a major conflict with the Schwizerhüsli Basel connection on the 9th foundation commander of the Freiburg Wingolf . The background was that an old man ( Philistine ) gave a speech on the Kommers and ended with the exclamation “We want revenge!”. The representatives of the Schwizerhüsli remained seated at the following Deutschlandlied , which angered the presiding association of the Wingolfsbund, the Hamburg Wingolf, who were also present and who subsequently demanded an apology from Schwizerhüsli. When this did not take place, there were considerable further complications and finally the termination of the friendship relationship between the Wingolfsbund and the Falkensteinerbund . The Freiburg Wingolf and other southern German connections sided with the Schwizerhüsli, which is why the matter led to strong tensions within the Wingolf Association.

After the break in 1920, there was renewed cooperation between the Wingolfsbund and the connections of the Falkensteinerbund between 1926 and 1928, but this was then completely broken off by the Second World War . Even after the war there were occasional contacts and even occasional recordings of members of the other association, which was formally even contrary to the statutes, but they were reserved towards each other. Two old gentlemen of the Heidelberg Wingolf , both pastors of the Badische Landeskirche , in 1967 thought the time was ripe for a reconnection with bygone days and invited Schwizerhüsli Basel and Freiburg Wingolf to a joint wine bar. These meetings in Kleinkems were repeated. Old gentlemen from Argentina Strasbourg also took part in the meeting. Over time, a lively contact developed. In addition to the meetings in Kleinkems, there were regular mutual visits to foundation festivals and ski weekends at the mountain hut of the Freiburg Wingolf. In 1969 the friendship relationship between the Wingolfs and the Falkensteiner League was finally reissued. In gratitude for your services, Pastor Albin Beck from Kleinkems received the ribbon from the Freiburg Wingolf and later from the Schwizerhüsli Basel. The close contact between the two connections has not been broken since then. Since the summer semester of 1988, the senior citizens of the two connections have been giving each other the ribbon.
