Waidhofen principle
The Waidhofen principle (also Waidhofen declaration , Waidhofen resolution or Waidhofen agreement ) was an anti-Semitic principle of ethnic student associations . According to the principle proclaimed on March 11, 1896 at a student assembly in Vienna , Jews were excluded from carrying out honorary affairs, that is, from duels ; they were generally considered unsatisfactory .
The Waidhofner principle was named after the Waidhofen association of defensive associations of German students founded in 1890 , whose associations or members were significantly involved in the preparation and formulation.
The principle was initially widespread among the German-ethnic student associations in Austria . After the First World War it was partly taken over by German associations such as the German Armed Forces .
