history

Established until World War II

The founding of the VDSt Berlin, the VDSt Charlottenburg and ultimately the entire VVDSt are very closely related to the start-up crisis and the anti-Semite petition.

In October 1880, representatives of this view turned to Imperial Chancellor Otto von Bismarck with the anti-Semite petition . They demanded the stop or limitation of the immigration of Jews , the exclusion of Jews from all government positions and the sole use of Christian teachers in school service. In order to advertise the petition, "Committees for the dissemination of the petition among the student body" were set up at several universities.

Members of the Berlin Committee for the Dissemination of the Petition at the Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität decided on December 9, 1880 to found the Association of German Students with the aim of uniting all “truly German” students in Berlin. The 10th anniversary of the founding of the Reich on January 18, 1881 was then chosen as the official foundation . The Charlottenburg VDSt was initially founded as a German technical student association and later changed its name after the VVDSt was founded. The members wanted to oppose the political lethargy in which they believed the student body had been since the establishment of the Empire. The study time should be used to get an overview of the political issues at hand and thus to live up to the claim to be the “spiritual leader of the people”. The main idea was the strengthening of national consciousness, the commitment to the Reich and to Bismarck and in the following especially to his social policy. Bismarck's social message of November 17th was received with enthusiasm and became, so to speak, a first “program” of the VVDSt.

In the period that followed, the VDSt Berlin took on positions in all important student representatives, as well as chairing the student body committee. During this time, the VDSt Berlin gained a lot of influence on university life and the organization of academic events. The events of the Berlin VDSt became social events and they established themselves in the social life of Berlin students.

During this time, the VDSt Charlottenburg was known less for its social activities than for its strict corporate character. However, he was never able to gain even an approximate importance like the VDSt Berlin.

During the First World War , the two unions stopped their activities as much as possible.

After the war, activities were resumed. A largely hostile mood towards the Weimar Republic developed within the confederations , which was also expressed in the retention of the motto "With God for Emperor and Empire".

After the seizure of power of the NSDAP The VDSt Berlin Charlottenburg had similar problems like all fraternities. Attempts to align , pressure to join the National Socialist German Student Union and the refusal to take these measures led to the dissolution of the two Berlin VDSts in 1938.

Post-war period, union of the Berlin Bunds and history to this day

After the Second World War , VDSter began to seek contact with each other again around 1948 and to rebuild the VDSt Berlin. After some effort, the VDSt Berlin was admitted to the Free University of Berlin in 1949 . In 1957 the name was changed to VDSt Berlin-Leipzig, as student associations were not allowed in the GDR .

The Charlottenburg VDSt had significantly bigger problems. Attempts to reestablish the company in 1953 failed. In 1954, however, some members, mainly from Leoben , began their studies at the Technical University of Berlin and re-founded the VDSt Charlottenburg. In the near future it was mostly smelters and miners who shaped the appearance of the VDSt Charlottenburg.

The reintroduction of compulsory military service and the discussions about the possibility of conscientious objection caused tensions between the activitas of the VDSt Berlin-Leipzig and its own old gentlemen's association. As a result, the VDSt Berlin-Leipzig was excluded from the VVDSt at the 79th association meeting of the VVDSt in Innsbruck in 1960 because of improper behavior towards the old rulers and the non-corporate management of federal life.

The VDSt Berlin was founded and rebuilt in 1961 with the active help of the Charlottenburg Federation. In addition, due to the increasing shortage of members, the two groups were united, so that the name VDSt Berlin-Leipzig-Charlottenburg was also used. After a period of consolidation, a long consolidation process was completed in 1979 and the VDSt Berlin and Charlottenburg saw themselves in a position to apply for the suburb of the VVDSt of 1980/81 and to host the 100th association conference in Berlin.

The current corporation house at Gartenstrasse 1 in Zehlendorf was moved into at the beginning of the 1988 summer semester. After the VDSt Leipzig was re-established in 1991, the Berlin Confederation again used the name VDSt Berlin and Charlottenburg.
