Wartburg cartel of academic-evangelical connections

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Wartburg Cartel (WK) is a corporation association of Protestant student associations . It was founded in 1925 under the name Pflugensberger Kartell ; the current name was adopted the following year.

The colors of the cartel are violet-white, its connections are colored and non-striking . In the past there were student associations at many universities that belonged to the WK. The name or part of the name Wartburg is characteristic for this . Currently the WK still consists of an active connection and three old rulers without activitas.

Objectives of the Wartburg cartel

The Wartburg cartel is committed to Protestant Christianity without belonging to any internal church direction. Accordingly, it expects from its members a commitment to the Protestant faith and active participation in the life of the Protestant Church. It is also committed to the freedom of science and a free, democratic state without being tied to certain political party activities.

The connected life is shaped by

  • scientific lectures given by members or guests with subsequent discussions,
  • Participation in church services,
  • Pubs, Kommerse and social events.

history

Development of the cartels of the German Association of Scientists (DWV): The Wartburg cartel emerges from the Eisenacher cartel.

After the First World War , some of the academic-theological associations (EK) of the German Association of Scientists (DWV) merged in the Eisenacher Kartell, endeavors to accommodate the narrow framework , which was limited to the admission of theology students, by admitting Protestant students from all faculties blow up, wear colors and give unconditional satisfaction . The aim of these reforms, which were aimed primarily at the Breslauer Verein, was to strengthen the reputation and influence within the student body. All changes in this regard were rejected at the cartel conference in 1925, whereupon the theological associations at the universities of Breslau , Greifswald , Leipzig and Göttingen , which had been founded between 1860 and 1880, left the EK on August 5, 1925 Pflugensberger Kartell (named after the Pflugensberg hill near Eisenach). Since they now became color-bearing , the DWV Couleur only allowed in the context of pubs and parties but not in the form of street colors, they were also eliminated from the DWV. Before the Second World War there was close cooperation with the Evangelical Union .

After the cartel was founded, there was initially a loose connection to the theological connections of the Eisenach cartel under the name Wartburg cartel . It was dissolved in 1926 and the Pflugensberger Kartell took over the current name Wartburg-Kartell (WK). The associations of the WK were now called Academic-Evangelical Associations (AEV) with the addition of Wartburg . Cartel Day was celebrated annually in Eisenach. Compared to the clubs that remained in the DWV, the WK's connections were less scientific than Christian.

The AEV Wartburg at the trade college in Köthen (Anhalt) joined the WK in the same year . In addition, the Evangelical Association Wartburg was founded in Berlin in 1929 by old men and active members of the Wartburg cartel. The leagues in Göttingen and Leipzig had to be suspended due to a lack of members. The other leagues remained in existence until 1938, but then had to dissolve under pressure from the state. Personal cohesion was not affected by the dissolution. In July 1933, unconditional satisfaction and the wearing of couleur were introduced in the association, in the winter semester 1933/34 the Protestant principle was given up under pressure from the National Socialist regime , but Pentecost 1935 was reinstated; in autumn 1935 the WK finally dissolved.

In 1950, former members of the cartel and young students in Frankfurt am Main founded the AEV Wartburg zu Breslau under the name AEV Wartburg-Breslau. When a new AEV Wartburg-Saxonia was launched in Bonn in 1955 , the Wartburg cartel was re-established. In 1956, he was joined by two more newly founded groups - the Wartburg-Albingia in Hamburg and the Wartburg-Suebia in Saarbrücken . In 1957, the former theological and newly founded association Coburgia, formerly part of the Schmalkalder cartel in the DWV, joined the Wartburg cartel as AEV Wartburg-Coburgia. In 1966 it had 107 student members and 278 old men.

In 1974 the cartel's connections had only 60 active members. The active leagues in Frankfurt, Hamburg, Bonn and Saarbrücken could not hold out due to a lack of members and had to be suspended. In 2010 the number of members was given as 22 active and 173 old men. Currently there are only active connections in Göttingen and the old rulers of Frankfurt, Göttingen and Saarbrücken.

Until 2011 the WK was a member of the Convent of German Corporations Associations (CDK) and the Convent of German Academic Associations (CDA). The WK published the magazine Die Wartburg .
