history

Founding time - connection Derendingia

On May 21, 1877, Derendingia was founded by twelve North German students in the Lamm restaurant in the then still independent community of Derendingen near Tübingen. The occasion was the upcoming parade for the 400th anniversary of the Eberhard Karls University, in which only student corporations were allowed to participate. Soon afterwards, a circle was set as a distinguishing mark and the colors of the state of Schleswig-Holstein (blue-white-red) were designated as the federal colors, as most of the founding members came from there. At first, however, the colors were only used and not worn as a ribbon. The young connection consolidated itself in its structures and increasingly established relationships with other connections. In 1881 Derendingia was a founding member of the Gotha First Convent , an association of obligatory, non-colored associations, from which she left in 1884. Between 1881 and 1897 there was a cartel with Frisia Göttingen .

Derendingia becomes a fraternity

In 1896 Derendingia became colored, d. H. Since then, its members have been wearing a red, white and blue ribbon and a black cap (the order of the colors had to be changed as the Corps Rhenania Tübingen was already wearing a blue, white and red ribbon). The scale length also became an integral part of the life of the connection. In 1897 Derendingia joined the Association of the German Burschenschaft and has been called the Burschenschaft ever since. In 1905 Derendingia chaired the German fraternity. Within the German Burschenschaft she belonged to the liberal Green-White-Red Cartel since 1919 (with Hannovera Göttingen , Germania Jena and Frankonia Heidelberg ). The relationship with the Frankonia Heidelberg fraternity, which has since left the German fraternity, continues to this day.

The 1920s brought big changes for the federal government. While the Derendingia has almost exclusively only accepted North German students since it was founded, the Federation was also opened to South Germans. The number of members continued to grow rapidly. Between the winter semester of 1919/1920 and the winter semester of 1929/1930, 205 students were accepted. This made the Derendingia one of the fraternities with the largest number of members within the umbrella organization.

The Second World War and the consequences

During the Nazi era, when student associations were gradually banned, Derendingia maintained its continuity as the Hohentübingen comradeship (with the VDSt ) and then until 1949, initially as the Schlossbund Association of Friends . The 60th Foundation Festival in 1937 was still celebrated in Couleur . Until 1941, the break days took place at the Derendingerhaus. It was not until 1944 that fencing had to be finally stopped.

After the end of the Second World War , the "Association of Tübingen Corporation Students" was founded on the Derendingerhaus. She had u. a. the task of bringing the Tübingen connections back to life. After student associations were officially admitted to universities again in 1950, Derendingia found its way back to its old federal life. Fencing was also resumed, but remained the subject of discussion. The sufferings of the war and experiences at the front made many friars doubt the timeliness of student fencing.

Derendingia as a non-beating, fraternity free fraternity

In 1969, scale fencing was abolished through an internal vote and judo was initially introduced as a compulsory sport. Due to this decision, the Derendingia was suspended by the German fraternity. When a draft statute was adopted at the Burschentag in Landau in 1971, which in future exempted the members from the censorship and thus made it possible to resume the fraternities that had been excluded for this reason, the Derendingia was re-accepted into the association in 1972.

After the association finally learned that a conscientious objector had become an active member, Aktivitas was excluded from the German fraternity in 1981. With the acquisition of that member in the old boys' stem and the stem of the old boys Derendingia was expelled from the Association 1,983th She later expressly distanced herself from this, especially in connection with the admission of foreign students.

As an association-free federation to which non-German members also belong, Derendingia is going its own way as an academic corporation and liberal fraternity. Olympic saber fencing has been practiced as a sport since 2008 . The fencing club Derendingia was founded on April 21, 2016, and in the same year it was accepted into the Württemberg Fencing Federation (WFB).

The Derendingerhaus

Derendingerhaus in May 2010

On the Schlossberg - directly behind the Hohentübingen Castle - is the Derendingerhaus, which was built in 1905 as a very modern connecting house in the country house style. Construction of the house began in 1904 after an agreement was reached with the hedgehog about the property. After only 9 months, the Derendingerhaus was completed on August 9, 1905. Clemens Hummel , a member of the Alemannia Stuttgart fraternity , acted as architect and site manager .

The house is still the center of the federal government today. As a student residence , it offers accommodation for members, friends and guests. In addition to these housing options, the house is also the "venue" for almost all events (including pubs, Christmas balls, chamber concerts, dance in May, foundation festivals, etc.) and a contact point for old men who are drawn back to Tübingen. The house covers a total of almost 850 m 2 .

To mark the 100th anniversary of the house, a commemorative publication was published in 2005 that not only documents the development of Derendingia , but also presents the other Tübingen fraternity houses.

aims

According to its own statements, one of the goals of Derendingia is to convey the willingness to stand up for others and the community and to take responsibility in the state and society. Members are required to commit themselves to their studies and acquire a successful degree.
