Singularity principle

The singularity principle is a provision in student corporation associations , which states that at most one association of the association may exist at each university location. The best-known association that still maintains this principle today is the Wingolfsbund . Only Marburg is an exception with the Marburger Wingolf and the Clausthaler Wingolf zu Marburg.

The Cartell Association of German Catholic Student Associations (CV) carried out this principle from 1891 to 1897. The increasing number of Catholic students, however, also led to the establishment of numerous other associations at universities where the CV was already represented. These have now joined forces in their own associations with similar principles, such as the KDV . When the CV abandoned the singularity principle in 1897, Cartell connections were able to establish subsidiary connections at the same university location, which could be included in the CV; on the other hand, the smaller umbrella organizations have now also been included in the Cartell Association, such as the KDV (from 1910) or the 2nd ÖCV .
