The Wingolfsbund is an umbrella organization of Christian , non- denominational, color-bearing , non-striking student associations . It is the oldest corporation association (since 1844) in Germany and is one of the first interdenominational, ecumenical communities. The Wingolfsbund currently has 35 associations at 34 universities in Germany , Austria and Estonia (as of September 2016). Wingolf has over 4,300 members in a number of individual associations (see list of Wingolf associations ). The Wingolfsbund sees itself as a men's association .

The Wingolf maintains friendly contacts with the Falkenstein Association in Switzerland .

Guiding principle

The motto of the Wingolf Association is Δι 'ἑνὸς πάντα - "Di henòs pánta" (Greek: through one (Jesus Christ) everything - Philippians 4:13). The principles of Wingolf are the Christian creed, the principle of life union and the corporate form. Since its foundation, Wingolf has rejected duel and mensur on the basis of the Christian principle ; This makes it the first corporate association in history to reject the duel. The Wingolfsbund and its member associations see themselves as politically and denominationally independent.

History of the Wingolfsbund

Origins

Friedrich Gottlieb Klopstock 1724–1803

The word Wingolf comes from the Old Norse word Vingólf , which in Germanic mythology denotes a room (or place) next to Valhalla - the Friends' Hall.

Friedrich Gottlieb Klopstock took up this word. In 1767 he wrote his ode "To the poet's friends" from 1747 into a sequence of songs in Germanic garb under the name Wingolf . He borrowed the word in the course of the growing enthusiasm for the allegedly rediscovered poetry of the Celtic bard Ossian from mythology in the sense of a friendship.

Christian student groups in various university towns took over the word around 1840 and called themselves Wingolf. The first Wingolf connection was established in Bonn in 1841 . The Wingolf as an umbrella organization was Pentecost 1844 on the Council to Schleiz established when the Uttenruthia Erlangen as a precursor of Erlanger Wingolf , the Halle Wingolf and Berlin Wingolf participated. The Bonn Wingolf , who was not present, accepted the resolutions for himself. Common criteria for membership and the organization of the life of the union were already agreed here. The resolutions were as follows:

  1. Admission condition for Christians: serious moral pursuit of truth,
  2. for Jews: a striving beyond Judaism,
  3. Edification small ring by free agreement of individual members,
  4. no accommodation to foreign students,
  5. no badges,
  6. no common name (because it was not possible to agree on a common name),
  7. absolute rejection of the duel,
  8. Fencing and gymnastics is a club matter,
  9. Pub evening as a reference point for club life, moral-scientific-sociable character, rejection of the beer commentary,
  10. Country father is not to be received, because its meaning is uncertain and through him a subordinate moment would be made the main thing,
  11. Cartel relationship: Anyone who is a member of one association is eo ipso a member of the other. Likewise with resignation and exclusion,
  12. every three years meeting, letters on foundation day. Communication of the club's history every semester.

This established the oldest student umbrella organization still in existence today.

The relationship to the Bonn Wingolf (now Germania) cooled down more and more during the winter semester 1845/1846 and the summer semester 1846. This insulted the Berlin connection as "Pietists and Mucker". But this did not clarify the importance of the Christian. Soon new tensions arose, partly because the Christian expression continued to vary. After the somewhat more free-spirited Wingolf from Bonn had renamed itself to Germania in the summer of 1844, this name became a symbol of a freer direction. Furthermore, a Germania split off in Berlin (WS 1845/1846) and Marburg (1851). In Erlangen there was finally a separation between the Uttenruthia and the Erlangen Wingolf in 1850.

In the revolution of 1848 they took a decisive party for the conservatives and participated, especially in Berlin, together with the local Corps Borussia (not identical with today's Corps Borussia Berlin) and Guestphalia in the vigilante group on the side of the monarchists. During the Wartburg Festival of the student body in 1848, the Wingolf connections (Berlin Wingolf, Hallenser Wingolf, the Marburger Wingolf founded the previous year and Uttenruthia Erlangen ) met at the same time in the Schwarzburger Hof near Blankenburg and spoke to each other after a messenger of the resolutions and demands at the Wartburg had reported decided against it. The declaration sent to the Wartburg aroused great indignation there.

In 1850, the Wingolf met for the first time at its Wartburg Festival in Eisenach, which is held there every two years to this day. The first principle was worked out: "Wingolf is a Christian student association and wants to permeate studentism with Christianity!" In 1852 they joined together even more closely to form the "Gesamtwingolf" and legally defined as a connection at various universities. Hence the singularity principle still valid today , i.e. This means that there should only be one wingolf connection at a university. Wingolf connections were established in Rostock in 1850, in Gießen in 1852, in Leipzig in 1855 and the Argentina Strasbourg in 1857. In 1853 the Wingolf recognized the Schwizerhüsli Basel as a brother association. The tendency of some wingolf connections to greater independence and a different interpretation of the Christian principle led to the division into a “narrower” and a “wider” overall wingolf. In 1860 this was therefore replaced by a more federal association (on the definition of the narrower and wider overall wingolf).

During the German wars of unification , the Wingolf could not keep his goal of staying away from any political activity. After the annexation of Kurhessen by Prussia in 1867 , the Marburg Wingolf left the Federation and the French members of Argentina Strasbourg left it in 1871 due to the incorporation of Alsace-Lorraine into the German Empire.

The individual Wingolf associations were founded in the 19th century by theology students in university towns with Protestant faculties. According to the Evangelical Lutheran understanding of the church and the view of the so-called “newly awakened faith” ( Pietism of the 19th century), Wingolf was non-denominational from the start. Catholic students, however, often joined the later founded Catholic student associations in the 19th century.

With the help of local pastors who were members of Wingolf, Wingolf connections were also established at technical universities since the end of the 19th century (after long arguments about the equivalence of university entrance, the so-called Matura principle ).

At the University of Freiburg im Breisgau (which has a Catholic theological faculty , but not a Protestant one), a Wingolf connection was established in 1911 ( Freiburg Wingolf ), in Würzburg 1931 (Wingolf connection Chattia to Würzburg), in Vienna (then as a hiking connection Luginsland) 1928 (Wingolf to Vienna).

Weimar Republic and Nazi dictatorship

After the First World War, the number of Wingolfites studying rose again rapidly; in the summer semester of 1919, 855 active participants were counted. The tendency within Wingolf and within the individual Wingolf associations was inconsistent. For example, the Alter Wingolfiten Association promoted a centralized and national course under the managing director Robert Rodenhauser, who was in office from 1919. Some Wingolf connections participated actively in Freikorps fights , such as large parts of the Munster Wingolfs (3rd Battalion of the Academic Defense Munster under Martin Niemöller ) in the protection of train stations and bridges against socialist insurgents , the Erlanger Wingolf in the Freikorps Epp in the fight against the Munich Soviet Republic , the Marburg Wingolf in the suppression of the Ruhr uprising and the Greifswalder Wingolf in the defense against Polish nationalists in Upper Silesia . In other Wingolf connections, namely in the Giessen Wingolf , Christian-social currents found inflow; Individuals like Paul Tillich advocated Christian socialism . In 1919, after internal demands, Wingolf refused to view “Germanness as a supporting pillar” of the federal government.

After the abolition of the monarchy in Germany, the “ Landesvater ” was renamed as a student custom in the Wingolfsbund as “Oath of Loyalty”. In 1921, the Erlangen association and honorary agreements were concluded between beating and non-beating student umbrella organizations. In 1923, the connection between Hohenstaufia and Würzburg, which had been established three years earlier, had to withdraw from the Wingolfsbund because it did not categorically reject the Mensur . Since 1925, the members of the Wingolf have worn the federal pin, which still exists today, as a distinguishing mark.

After Hitler came to power, the pressure on the student associations rose sharply. Still, many Wingolfites hoped that their covenant could be maintained under the existing corporate and Christian principles. Therefore, after intense internal discussions, the Führer principle was introduced in 1933 and the previous VAW managing director Robert Rodenhauser was appointed the new “Federal Leader”; the individual activitates were led by so-called "Burschenführer" (Burschenführer). Rodenhauser was controversial among supporters of the regime, as he was not a politician with a convinced National Socialist worldview. In the same year the Wingolf bowed to the pressure of the Nazi racial legislation by excluding Christians of Jewish descent from the association. In this context, Rodenhauser advocated the dissolution of the federal government, but could not assert himself against the active students.

Since from July 1933 only groups of around 40 corporations were supposed to have a voice in the Association of German Students , the Wingolf Association formed a joint venture with the Schwarzburg Association and the Association of German Boys , in order to gain greater influence together; However, this was terminated in April 1934 by the Schwarzburgbund. The community of student associations founded on January 12, 1935 under the leadership of State Secretary Hans Heinrich Lammers was recognized by the NSDStB as the overall representative of the student associations and was also open to non-beating corporations. Rodenhauser applied for the Wingolfsbund to be accepted, but this failed due to the dissolution of the GStV on September 8 of the same year.

The demand of the NSDStB to give unconditional satisfaction , d. H. to allow the duel, was decidedly refused by Wingolf, so it was on 22./23. February 1936 came to the self-dissolution of the federal government. Some connections stopped their active operations immediately, others were converted into "Christian working groups"; However, these mostly failed because they were alien to Wingolf due to the lack of a corporate form. Individual wingolf connections continued to exist underground. The Wingolf Association Argentina Strasbourg was continued at the National Socialist-dominated University of Strasbourg until 1941 as Nazi comradeship .

Quite a few Wingolf students, on the other hand, joined the Confessing Church (BK) or attended the BK seminars for preachers that were prohibited by the regional church leadership (e.g. Karl Zeiß ); these were under threat of non-recognition of the theological examination.

The VAW bypassed the dissolution by forcibly opening liquidation proceedings, which were not concluded. As a result, the association was able to resume its activities soon after the collapse of the Nazi regime. A processing of one's own history in the individual connections has essentially taken place since the 1980s.

Development after the Second World War

In August 1945, the Wingolfites present at the Treysa church conference met to discuss the future of their association. It was decided to re-establish the philistine associations and district associations of the VAW, and the plan was drawn up to rebuild the active connections. But it soon became clear that an unproblematic continuation of the time before 1936 was not possible. In addition to the reservations of the Allies, there were also concerns of a fundamental nature within the Philianship. At the same time, however, there was interest in the founding of Christian corporations within the student body - mostly from Philistine sons or from the community of Protestant student communities. In the years 1947 to 1949, twelve postponed Wingolfs were re-established and the Braunschweiger and Mainz Wingolfs were re-established; mostly as so-called community foundations with the participation of students and philistines. The Wingolf Association as such was established on November 24, 1948 on the basis of the pre-war statutes at a senior citizens' convention of seven Wingolf associations, six of them from the American occupation zone, in which resistance to corporations was lower than in the British and French zones. In June 1949, the Wingolfsbund in Eltville am Rhein resumed the tradition of the Wartburg Festival, which took place every two years in a different location in the Federal Republic of Germany until reunification .

In the German Democratic Republic , Wingolf was banned due to its Christian character, in France , Poland and the USSR due to its German-speaking tradition against the background of the experiences of the Second World War . Wingolfite life in the GDR was therefore limited to loose, informal contacts between Philistines, who remained unrecognized or unmolested by the rulers. Until 1989 there were also events disguised as family get-togethers by Philistines from East and West as well as active members of the Berlin Wingolf in East Berlin. In the 1950s, a number of Wingolf associations in the Federal Republic sponsored adjourned corporations in the GDR and the eastern areas of the German Empire. As a result, close ties between various Wingolf associations that have existed to this day have often emerged.

From 1950 to 1956, eleven more postponed Wingolf connections were re-established (nine in West Germany, 1954 Wingolf in Vienna and 1955 Berlin Wingolf as a merger of the three connections that had previously existed in the capital). The Clausthal Wingolf "Catena" (1950), the Chattia zu Aachen (1952), the Mannheim Wingolf (1953) and the CDSt.V. Nibelungen zu Siegen (founded in 1962, member of Wingolf since 1979). In addition, new corporations were created in Saarbrücken, Dortmund, Bochum, Osnabrück, Kaiserslautern and Fulda, which were usually postponed again after a few years and today no longer have any active operations. In the mid-1960s, the Wingolfsbund reached a record high number of members with 31 connections and 1,660 federal brothers studying.

Like all student associations, Wingolf was also badly affected by the student movement of the 1960s . The competition from political student associations and social change led to a significant drop in the number of active members and the postponement of a total of ten Wingolf associations between 1968 and 1975. Within the associations - both among active members and among philistines - there were discussions about the university, state and society. On the basis of the Christian and politically independent principle, reforms in society and connections were called for in Wingolf, but system-changing tendencies were strictly rejected. The reform program of the Göttingen Wingolf went the furthest in 1970, which among other things enabled women to become members during their studies and thus led to a fundamental discussion in the Wingolfsbund. After female students became active in the Hanoverian Wingolf in the following year, the Wingolf decided in the "Bielefelder Agreement" of 1971 that it saw itself as a men's association and that the women concerned should only belong to their respective corporation, but not to the entire association. Because of this and the adjournment of the Göttingen Wingolf in 1973, the question of women was limited locally to Hanover. After a reorientation in the 1970s, the Wingolf grew again in the 1980s.

Since the reunification

After the peaceful revolution in the GDR, the Wartburg Festival was held again in Eisenach for the first time in 1991 under the then federal spokesman Johannes Kahrs , where it has taken place every two years since then. In 1992 the basics of the Wingolfsbund were specified again. Since then, these have again determined a clear Christian creed. At the same time, however, it was also made clear that - what was already taken for granted - membership in Wingolf is possible for every Christian regardless of their national identity. The decisive sentences of the new version read: “The members of the individual Wingolf associations profess themselves to Jesus Christ regardless of their denomination and find themselves together in a community based on this confession. (…) Membership in the individual Wingolf associations is independent of political, national and ethnic aspects ”. This clarification had become necessary because the East German connections developed a move towards fraternity-national views and at the same time the acceptance of unbaptized students who had grown up in the former GDR was discussed in some connections.

There were successful re-founding of since 1935 resolved connections at the University of Jena (1990), the Leipzig Wingolf (2001), the Halle Wingolf (2002), of Rostock Wingolf (1995) and Arminia Dorpatensis in Estonian Tartu on the University of Tartu (1994, postponed as early as 1883). In 1997, the University of Erfurt was re-established. In the old federal states, Wingolf was developed at the University of Bremen (1998).

Student associations emerged in the GDR in secret . In 1990 they formed the Rudelsburg Alliance . Ottonia Magdeburg, founded in the GDR in 1977, was accepted into the Wingolfsbund in 1991. At the beginning of the 1990s, new or re-established connections in East Germany (Jena, Magdeburg, Berlin ) showed German national tendencies. These tendencies provoked the considerable resistance of some Wingolfs connections, which they considered to be incompatible with the Wingolfs idea and were not prepared to support it. As the German national connections found support in the Philistine Council of the VAW, a sharp dispute developed, which at times threatened to lead to a new principle dispute over a national orientation of the Federation and which finally over a three-quarters majority of the Wingolf Association under the leadership of the Giessen Wingolf with the Final exclusion of Ottonia Magdeburg from the Wingolfsbund ended. The Ottonia, which was already not very active, was adjourned on October 25, 1997. The members of the old gentlemen's association of Ottonia are, contrary to the VAW's statutes, due to a resolution of the Philistine Council, despite the fact that no active connection has been made . Attempts to revise the exclusion by the Philistine Council regularly failed at the Wingolfsbund.

The WB is a founding member of the Convent of German Corporations Associations (CDK) and last held its chair in the years 2005–2007. The Alter Wingolfiten Association (VAW) is a founding member of the Convent of German Academic Associations (CDA). Since the CDK cannot intervene in internal affairs of its member associations according to its statutes, this membership is viewed critically in some cases. The background to this is the need to clearly distinguish oneself from the German fraternity and its unclear relationship to right-wing extremism.

In 2009, the Wingolfsbund terminated the work and friendship agreement with the Association of German Student Associations (VVDSt).

Structure and structure

Members

Federal members of the Wingolf Association are initially the active Wingolf associations. Although the federal bodies (see below) perform overarching tasks, the individual connection remains independent in its constitution (convention principle, validity of the comment ). The individual member of Wingolf is therefore initially a member of a single connection. The Wingolf associations grant their members mutual right of entry (→ multi-band support), although simultaneous membership in an association outside the Wingolf Association ( CV , Corps , fraternity etc.) is not possible. The only exceptions are connections that seek membership in the Wingolfsbund, as well as the members of the Falkensteinerbund in Switzerland, with which the possibility of membership in connections of both associations exists within the framework of the friendship agreement.

With the change to the old rulership (or Philistine) of the home association, the members of their home association are considered extraordinary members. In some wingolf associations the description of the relationship between the members of the Philistine and the active association is unclear.

All Wingolf members have a duo comment , although the brothers maintain a particularly close relationship with each other within their own Wingolf connections.

Federal bodies

The Wingolfsbund has given itself structures for higher-level tasks. One of the active Wingolf connections takes over the suburbs in the Wingolfsbund for a period of two years. The new suburb is chosen during a batch convention at the Wartburg Festival . The central tasks of the suburb are the organization of the next Wartburg Festival and the moderation of nationwide decisions and resolutions. Usually the Chargiertenconvent chooses a strong personnel Wingolfs connection to the suburb.

At the Wartburg Festival 2017, the Hallenser Wingolf was chosen as the successor to the Darmstadt Wingolf as a suburb of the Wingolf Association.

In order to perform the duties assigned to it, the suburb elects the following offices, which are known as Bundeschargen :

  • Federal spokesman for the Wingolfsbund (Bx)
  • Federal Secretary (B-SW or B-xx)
  • Federal Treasurer (B-KW or B-xxx).

Only the Bx has to belong to the respective local connection. In addition, there are other assignments and secondments, for example to the editorial board of the Wingolfsblätter or as a university policy officer of the Wingolfsbund.

Association of Old Wingolfites (VAW)

The VAW forms the umbrella organization of all old gentlemen's clubs of the Wingolfs connections. In addition, there are so-called district associations (BV), which group all members together by region. This double structure is unique in the corporate landscape. For example, the VAW takes on the tasks of financing and promoting nationwide initiatives. He acts as editor of the Wingolf sheets and the series of publications from Wingolf.

The VAW elects the Philistine Council at its convent on the occasion of the Wartburg Festival . The chairman of the Philistine Council presides over it.

Conventions

In Wingolf, various conventions existed and still exist as closer associations of individual connections. There are currently two such conventions:

  • The Gernsbach Convention is a geographical amalgamation of eleven Wingolf associations from southern Germany. These meet every two years on Ascension Day, alternating with the Wartburg Festival, in Gernsbach for the convention meeting. It includes the Mainz Wingolf, Frankfurter Wingolf, Darmstädter Wingolf, Heidelberg Wingolf , Mannheimer Wingolf, Karlsruhe Wingolf, Hohenheim Wingolf Association Fraternitas Academica, Stuttgart Wingolf, Freiburg Wingolf , Tübingen Wingolf and the Munich Wingolf.
  • The Diezer Convention brings together five corporations that have set themselves the goal of maintaining and renewing corporate and Christian values ​​in the Wingolfsbund. It has existed in its current form since 1990.

The forerunner of the first Diezer Convention was founded in 1873 by the Bonner, Gießen and Marburger Wingolf under the name "Convention of the Marburg, Gießen and Bonner Wingolfs in Limburg an der Lahn". The purpose of this first meeting was to meet each other and with Philistines in Limburg. Over the years, the "Limburg an der Lahn Convention" developed into a regional convention that was held between the Wartburg festivals. From 1890 to 1932 they met in Diez, which later gave the city its name. On December 16, 1990, the “Diezer Convention” was renewed on the basis of the Marburg paper. Under the impression of the historical convention, the Bonn, Giessen and Marburg Wingolf adopted the old name. The intention of this new meeting was to strengthen corporate and Christian principles within the Wingolf Association. It thus represents a countercurrent to the emerging neglect of cultural student tradition in the Wingolfsbund. In 1991 the Kiel Wingolf and the Wingolf Association Chattia zu Würzburg joined the convention.

Every year in November, a convention meeting takes place alternately in one of these five university locations. The speaker of the Diezer Convention, the Diez-X, is elected in the respective suburban connection from their own ranks.

Couleur and covenant song

coat of arms

On the coat of arms of the covenant, a floating cross in gold (as a simplification of the Jerusalem cross ) can be seen on a black and white ground that is divided diagonally to the right . The Wingolfs connections have the actual form of the Jerusalem cross in their coat of arms, from which the heraldic special form of white-gold (metal on metal) is derived.

The oldest Wingolf coat of arms showed a floating golden Latin cross on black. From 1850 the Wingolf's coat of arms was a gold cross on a black and white diagonally divided ground.

Colours

Colors of Wingolf in the Kneipsaal of Halle's Wingolf

The colors of the Wingolfsbund are black, white and gold. These are carried by 22 of the 35 active Wingolf associations; A specialty is the Arminia Dorpatensis from Tartu , the colors of which are black, white and old gold. The remaining Wingolfe usually wear different color combinations for historical or local reasons. Black-white-gold go back to the imperial baron Heinrich Friedrich Karl vom und zum Stein , who proposed these colors as future German national colors in 1814. Presumably his friend Ernst Moritz Arndt suggested this tricolor to the Bonn Wingolf (which resulted from the earliest colors of the Wingolfe black-gold and white-gold), so that the latter applied the colors for the first time in 1845. The Wingolf distanced itself externally from the revolutionary black-red-gold of the German fraternity .

Federal pin

All members of the Wingolf Association wear the so-called federal pin. It was donated in 1925. The federal pin has a small ring at its tip and is worn on the left lapel. All Wingolfs connections wear gold, only the Erlanger , Halle and Erfurt Wingolf Georgia wear silver federal pins.

Federal song

The federal song of the Wingolfsbund is "It stands on solid ground". The five-stanza song was composed in 1867 by Viktor von Strauss and Torney , honorary philistines of the Erlanger Wingolf, based on a melody by Johann Friedrich Reichardt .

Wartburg Festival

Wartburg to Eisenach
Wingolfsdenkmal in downtown Eisenach

The Wingolf connections have met every two years in the week after Pentecost since 1850 , and since 1951 on Ascension Day for the Wingolf's Wartburg Festival . It has been taking place again in Eisenach since 1991 , partly at the Wartburg , where Saint Elisabeth of Thuringia lived and Martin Luther translated the Bible . Parts of the federal festival are a ceremony at the Wartburg, the solemn celebration , the subsequent commemoration of the dead at the Wingolfsdenkmal , a great commers , church services, a ball and a concert to which the citizens of the city are expressly invited. The Wartburg Festival is hosted by the Wingolfsbund suburb.

The Wartburg Festival of Wingolf is not to be confused with the festival of the German Burschenschaft , which takes place in Eisenach, also in close proximity to the Federal Festival of Wingolf.

reception

  • The asteroid 1556 of the main asteroid belt was given the official name Wingolfia by its discoverer Karl Wilhelm Reinmuth in honor of the Heidelberg Wingolf .
  • After several conversations with Paul Tillich , his friend Thomas Mann processed the Wingolf in his 1947 novel “ Doctor Faustus ”. The main character Adrian Leverkühn is a member of the "theological connection Winfried" and describes in detail the typical Wingolfite connection life. Tillich had written to Mann in a letter dated April 23, 1943: “What I have become theological, philosophical and human, I owe only in part to the professors, but to a great extent to the connection where the theological and philosophical debates after midnight and the personal conversations before sunrise remained crucial for life. Music played a major role and the romantic relationship with nature [...] I owe above all to the hikes through Thuringia and to the Wartburg in those years, in community with the liaison brothers. "
