The Catholic Student Union Flamberg , founded in Freiburg in 1924 as the Catholic Student Union (KStV) Flamberg , active until 2007 under the name KStV Flamberg zu Bonn, is a mixed , non-colored , non-striking student union in Bonn .

Foundation in Freiburg

The KStV Flamberg was created on November 1, 1924 in Freiburg im Breisgau as a spin-off from the KStV Brisgovia Freiburg and on January 1, 1925, it joined the Cartel Association of Catholic German Student Associations (KV). Co-founders were among others the resistance fighters Josef Wirmer and Hanns Seidel .

As principles were Amicitia - - Religio Scientia (Science - Friendship - Religion), as non-colors black and white Black and as a motto the traditional (u a while.. Prince of Wales ) Ich dien! elected and was committed to the principle of openness to time.

The split arose out of a conflict between a beer group and the Geist der Brisgovia group. While some of the active members intended to continue the traditional student life ( the beer group ), the other group, the later Flambergs, wanted to change corporate life in favor of a spiritually and religiously deeply rooted, more youth-driven community ( the Geist group ). Even then, the Flamberg invited external experts to give lectures, such as the philosopher Martin Honecker 1930 on the subject of philosophy and world war . According to Meyer's biography, the spin-off of the Flamberg was inconceivable without the youth movement and an expression of a renewal of the communal life .

The name Flamberg refers to Flamberge , a traditional expression for a flamed two-handed medieval sword with which the Archangel Michael was preferred as the patron saint of the Germans. References to this weapon were quite common in the Bundische environment at the time. However, the connection was never striking.

During National Socialism , as with other connections, all activities were stopped. At the instigation of Franz Meyer, the KStV Flamberg dissolved itself at a conference in early March 1934, thus anticipating the compulsory dissolution of student associations by the National Socialist dictatorship that was generally prescribed in 1935 .

Reconstitution in the federal capital Bonn

After the Second World War , some people from Flamberg settled in Bonn and reconstituted the association there in 1948, which was still part of the Cartel Association of Catholic German Student Associations (KV). In 1955 the Flamberg Heimverein eV was founded, which rented a fraternity house from the KStV Frisia and finally acquired it in 1967. In the early days of the Federal Republic, Hanns Seidel and Franz Meyers, two incumbent Prime Ministers and Max Adenauer, the son of the Federal Chancellor, belonged to the association based at the seat of government . Meyer's rise from a poor background and his political career are closely linked to the Flamberg, which was an important point of reference for him throughout his life. Der Spiegel presented Meyer's career including his public presence at the Flamberg in Freiburg. “Awarded a senior citizen, he paraded in full weight at the rectorate ceremony and on Corpus Christi and arranged political discussions for the rather simple-minded Kommers company without exposing himself politically. “( Der Spiegel 1958 ) in a cover story.

Konrad Adenauer himself was active in the parent connection of the Flamberg Brisgovia. In 1968, Der Spiegel addressed the aftermath of the various Catholic networks in the ministerial authorities, such as Chancellor Adenauer's reservations about individual members of the Cartell Association of German Catholic Student Associations , such as Edmund Forschbach . In the article In Bonn one writes coincidence with CV , Der Spiegel exaggeratedly described the differences between the connections with: "CV drinks, KV dances, Unitas prays." ( Der Spiegel 1968 )

Realignment after 1989

After 1992, the people of Flamberg began to smuggle in women through the ADV Penthesilea, contrary to the original admission criteria. Aktivitas left the KV after a lengthy process of finding (around 2005), and Penthesilea was dissolved. The original old rule is still organized in the KStV Flamberg, but has no more activities. The Catholic Students Association Flamberge includes female and male Active from technical colleges as universities as well as since 2007 philistrierten Altflamberger.

The Flamberg Student Union accepts female and male students equally as a modern student community in its own way . There is no trial or fox period , admission will be decided by the Convention upon written application.

The association occupies the batches of Senior / Seniora and Consenior / Conseniora twice with male and female active members , the secretary is provided by only one active member. The semester programs include a semester theme (2012 Community, Movement, Revolution ) and begin and end the semester, as is usual with Christian student associations , with church services. Instead of pubs , the beginning and the end of the semester are celebrated with parties. In addition, there are also foundation festivals , lectures, conventions and social evenings.
