Waidhofen Association

Bunds of the Waidhofen Association

The Waidhofener Association of the defensive associations of German students in the Ostmark (WV) was a corporation association of German-ethnic student associations in Austria. It existed from 1890 to 1938 and was instrumental in the development and formulation of the anti-Semitic Waidhofen principle . A successor existed until 2004 with the Association of German Students .

history

History of the Waidhofen Association with predecessor and successor organizations

In the ideological environment of Georg von Schönerer , the Association Delegate Convent was founded in 1885 as an amalgamation of Viennese student associations. In the following years, other associations joined, split off into their own association and finally merged on May 24, 1890 in Waidhofen an der Ybbs in the Waidhofen association of defensive associations of German students in the Ostmark . In March 1896 the WV introduced the Waidhofen principle, in the formulation of which various member associations of the WV played a decisive role. In response, the association was dissolved by the state authorities in May 1896. In 1912, the WV was merged with the Landsmannschaftlichen Association of defensive associations of German students from the Sudetenland , separated again in 1913, only to reunite in 1919, this time under the name of German Association Students in the Ostmark . Further renaming and spin-offs followed, which resulted in the re-establishment of the Waidhofen Association on June 17, 1927 . In 1931 the WV merged with the German border team , was independent again from 1936 and finally dissolved on March 17, 1938, a few days after Austria was annexed to the German Reich .

Association of German Students

On October 4, 1953, the Association of Colored Associations of German Students was founded, which in 1960 was renamed Bund deutscher Studenten (BdSt). In its principles, the BdSt expressly declared itself as the successor organization to the WV. However, the BdSt rejected the radical, ethnic and anti-Semitic orientation expressed by the Waidhofen principle . The bandage was colored and refused the censorship. However, he allowed the conference censorship, so it was optional. When the member association Asciburgia Mainz decided in 2004 to accept foreigners and women, the BdSt disbanded.

Members

• Helmut Krünes (Sudetia Vienna)
