As a subsidiary connection one is usually student or students connecting referred, which was founded by another corporation. Some student associations have also founded student associations, which see themselves as subsidiary associations of the student corporation.

The connection from which the foundation was forced is called the mother connection . The connection into which a connection student first entered, even if he later joins other connections, is also referred to as the parent connection or Urbund.

The special relationship between a daughter and her mother association is expressed in many cases through joint events, the wearing of a traditional ribbon by the members of the board or, less often, through mutual voting rights at the convents . Some daughter associations also use the colors of their parent associations in their coat of arms.

term

In the history of student associations, the most varied of motives have led to the establishment of subsidiary associations or the spin-off of existing associations. In the event of a spin-off, for example due to a dispute of principle, there is generally no reference to a subsidiary. The "daughter relationship" is a relationship with a positive connotation. In the case of an amicable division or a forced start-up, both a student corporation or a Pennalie , the term is used across all umbrella organizations.

The daughter association must be distinguished from a so-called godfather association (or traditional association), which in the event of an adjournment continues the tradition of the association and, if necessary, can also be involved in a re-establishment. In this case, the adjourned corporation may well be older than the traditional sponsorship association. In the Wingolfsbund, for example, there are numerous mutual sponsorship relationships that guarantee the preservation of tradition in the event of an adjournment.

In the Cartell Association of Catholic German Student Associations , after the singularity principle was abolished in 1897, numerous subsidiary associations were founded at the same university location.

Motives and goals

Non-approval of the name by the occupying powers

Too "German" ("Germanic") names could cause problems during reactivation after the Second World War.

example

The name "Gothia" was too "German" for the British occupying power in Klagenfurt. It was reactivated as the "Austrian Student Union Babenberg Klagenfurt".

Change of study location

If members of a corporation moved to another university town in which they did not want to or could not join an existing corporation, they often set up a "branch" of their parent association. In some cases, she was allowed to hope for the support of her mother connection in the following semesters, for example through further influx of active people or the transfer of old men .

Examples

Foundation at the place of study

Intentional divisions and thus the establishment of subsidiary connections are also less common at the place of study. In the vast majority of cases, spin-offs at the university location do not represent subsidiaries, but start-ups that want to distance themselves from the existing corporation (see term).

One of the motives for establishing a subsidiary on site was certainly the sometimes very high number of members of some corporations. As a result of the partitions, corporations were created that made it possible and demanded the participation of all members again. Many Catholic student associations experienced a great rush at the time of the Academic Kulturkampf , which many of them could no longer cope with alone.

Subsidiary associations were also established in order to reach a target group not addressed by the company's own principles.

Establishing a subsidiary could be a way of establishing a relationship at your own university location for strong connections that did not have a bang on site .

Examples

Establishing a student association

Some student associations forced the establishment of an associated student association. The initiative for this usually comes from one or more old men of the student union who accompany the establishment of a Pennalie at the place of residence or work. The student union hopes that the student union will attract a regular influx of new members who have already come into contact with the cultural student tradition during their school days. The expectations of the newly established Pennalie on the part of the student association put a considerable strain on the relationships in some cases, so that most student associations defend themselves against an overly brash appropriation by a student association.

The vast majority of student associations are independent start-ups anyway. Nevertheless, subsidiary relationships can often be observed. In Austria and Switzerland, student associations get a large part of their growth from school associations, which have an equally long tradition in both countries. In both countries, some school and student associations also belong to a common umbrella organization. Outside Austria and Switzerland, the student and pupil associations are not organized in joint umbrella organizations, so that structural closeness is only possible through a local subsidiary relationship or a close relationship with a student umbrella organization (e.g. General Pennäler Ring (APR) and Deutsche Burschenschaft ( DB) ) can come about.
