The Tübingen Wingolf is a Christian, non-denominational student association at the Eberhard-Karls-Universität Tübingen . His colors are black-white-gold, he rejects duels and mensur and is a member of the Wingolfsbund , the oldest corporation umbrella organization in Germany.
Principles and colors
The Tübingen Wingolf represents the Christianum as principles, i. H. the confession of Jesus Christ, the corporative, d. H. the traditions of the color student , and the Akademicum. The motto of the Tübingen Wingolf is that of the entire Wingolfsbund:
The colors of the Tübingen Wingolf are black-white-gold ( Fuxenband : black-gold). Black, semi-slack velvet hats are worn as head colors. However, the head color has been changed several times in the 150-year history, so that white flat caps were worn from 1877 to 1906 and from 1924 to 1936. These are today z. T. worn as a summer head color.
history
Forerunner of the Tübingen Wingolf
Since the 1840s there have been efforts to bring wingolf to life in Tübingen. In 1846, a Christian student wreath - as there were also as Wingolf forerunners at other universities - asked at the first Blankenburg council to be admitted to the Wingolfsbund, which, however, was rejected despite good contacts with the Hallenser Wingolf . The student association finally ceased in 1848. In 1858 the Tübinger Kreis was founded, which borrowed its corporate form from the Bonn Wingolf . However, no corporation developed from this, but the Tübingen circle remained a loose circle v. a. of studying Wingolfites from other university locations, including primarily theologians, e.g. B. Martin Kähler . There are primarily three reasons for the late establishment of a Wingolf in Tübingen: a) The North German origin of the Wingolfites who came from abroad raised the suspicion of Prussianism - hated in Württemberg; b) At the same time, connections from the monastery ( Royal Society Roigel , Normannia ) had already emerged in Tübingen , which claimed a profile similar to that of Wingolf; c) Furthermore, the influential theologian Johann Tobias Beck rejected a mixture of studentism and Christianity - as Wingolf just called for it - because he saw in it a corruption of Christianity.
Foundation of the Tübingen Wingolf
On June 9, 1864, the Tübingen Wingolf of 14 North German Wingolfites, v. a. Theologians from Halle (including two members of the Tübingen Circle) on today's Kalleehöhe , above the Waldhörnle guesthouse, which was popular with students of the past , was donated with a devotion to 1 Cor 3.11 Lut . In doing so, however, they did not continue the Tübingen circle, but founded themselves directly as a wingolf association.
Further development up to the First World War
The first decades of Tübingen Wingolf were marked by inconsistencies. Booms followed disputes and break-ins with many withdrawals. These emerged due to controversies about the weighting of the Christianum on the one hand and the corporative on the other, as well as disputes between North and South Germans. The low point was reached in 1888. The Tübingen Wingolf dissolved itself, but was founded again in the semester and was able to grow quickly. The foundation stone for the house was laid in 1893, and on February 27, 1894 the house at Gartenstrasse 38 was inaugurated. During this time, Adolf Schlatter , who recorded the tape in 1899, had a decisive influence on the Tübingen Wingolf. But new difficulties broke out when North German Wingolfites (from Halle) demanded a more dogmatic course. Wingolf in Tübingen split, and the Swabian Alt-Wingolf finally got the upper hand. At that time the Wingolf was able to move into its own booth in the Evangelical Monastery of Tübingen , the Zionsbude. The Wingolfshaus was renovated, rebuilt and enlarged in 1907. In order to better bind the many Philistines to the union, a Philistine Association was founded on March 29, 1910. As early as 1892, the "Swabian District Association of Alter Wingolfites" was brought into being. The First World War brought the upswing of the Tübingen Wingolf to an abrupt end, 114 federal brothers were killed in the war.
The Weimar years until the dissolution in the Third Reich
The number of members rose rapidly after the end of the First World War. This led to the fact that a second Wingolf association, the Wingolf Nibelungen, was donated in Tübingen (see below). In 1931 the house was largely renovated and rebuilt. The forces and tendencies of the Third Reich, to which the Tübingen Wingolf also initially made concessions, increasingly turned out to be incompatible with the Wingolf idea. On January 30, 1936, the Tübingen Wingolf was dissolved. The newly renovated house was sold to the city of Tübingen for a ridiculous price and used as a party home for the NSDAP . In 1939 the "Association of Old Tübingen Wingolfphilisters" was also dissolved. But a life of communion, limited to occasional informal meetings, continued. The Second World War killed 74 Tübingen friars.
The post-war period until today
The close contact between the federal brothers survived the years of World War II, so that a re-establishment could be considered soon after the end of the war. On June 9th (or 29th) 1948 a "Fraternitas Academica" was brought into being, which was admitted to the newly constituted Wingolfsbund on June 7th, 1949. At first this connection was centered solely on Christianity, but gradually the corporate forms were resumed. The Wingolfshaus was confiscated by the French after the war. The Wingolfshaus was only partially occupied in 1950 and completely occupied again in 1959, and the number of members rose again. The 68s did not leave the Tübingen Wingolf without a trace, old forms were questioned or even abolished, and many members resigned. Nevertheless, in 1975 the Tübingen Wingolf was able to take over the suburb of the Wingolf Association for the fourth time after 1874, 1907 and 1959. In 1982 a Tübingen punt was brought by the Tübingen federal brothers by water to the German Maritime Museum in Bremerhaven , where it is still on display today. In 1989 a memorial stone was dedicated on the Kalleehöhe. But the years around the turn of the millennium turned out to be a difficult time for Wingolf in Tübingen due to resignations and upheavals. Since 2008, however, the Tübingen Wingolf has been on an upswing again. In 2013 the house was extensively renovated, and in 2014 the 150th Foundation Festival was celebrated on a grand scale with guest speaker Horst Köhler .

Due to the enormous influx of students during the 1920s, personnel problems arose for the Tübingen Wingolf. The connected life was largely limited to the family members , open wedge addresses (sometimes up to 300) could not be used. The new zeitgeist, which had little to do with the traditions inherited from the empire, also made things more difficult. So the question of a second Wingolf connection in Tübingen became more and more relevant despite the singularity principle in the Wingolfsbund. Under the intercession of the then General Secretary of the Wingolfsbund Robert Rodenhauser, after negotiations at the Wartburg Festival in 1928, the Nibelungen zu Tübingen was founded with the colors violet-white-gold (Fuxenband: violet-white). The day it was founded was October 24, 1928, a year later the Nibelungs were officially admitted to the Wingolfsbund. The " Westbahnhof " in Tübingen was used as a pub, the house of the Tübingen Wingolf in Gartenstrasse was used only twice a year. In 1934 Wingolf Nibelungen was able to rent his own house at Wilhelmsstrasse 42 and then buy it in 1935. But from 1933 the pressure of the National Socialists, who wanted to rob all connections of their formative character and bring them into line, increased steadily: Although the Nibelungs - unlike the Tübingen Wingolf - had a decidedly political and sporty character and were more in line with the zeitgeist, they broke up November 17, 1935. A start-up was attempted, but failed in February 1936. After the Second World War, the Nibelungs were not revived. Instead, the tradition was passed on to the parent association, the Tübingen Wingolf, which has since been celebrating the Nibelungs' foundation festivals and honoring their color. The Philistine associations (Association of Tübinger Wingolfsphilister and Association of Alter Tübinger Nibelungen) also merged in 1948 to form the “Association of Alter Tübinger Wingolfites and Nibelungen” (VATWuN), which exists today.
