fraternities have a long history that goes back to the early 19th century. They initially emerged as a reaction to the political and social framework of their time, especially in the context of the wars of liberation against Napoleon. The first fraternity, the Urburschildren, was founded in Jena in 1815. These connections demanded democratic reforms and a national unity of Germany, which delimited them from other student connections. Last but not least, the members of these connections refer to a certain ideal of masculinity.

The development of the fraternities

The organization of the fraternities has changed over the years. In 1881/82 the umbrella organization was founded by General Deputies Convent (ADC), which was renamed the German fraternity (DB) in 1902. This umbrella organization experienced various ideological changes. In the late 19th century, national endeavors gained priority and usually went hand in hand with an increase in anti -Semitism. Famous members of the fraternities later joined the National Socialists, which revealed the movement a dark shadow.

After the Second World War, many fraternities were initially banned by the British military government and the American “military organization regulation”. However, the "old men" help themselves by founding clubs with harmless names. This practice meant that fraternities were reactivated again from 1950, and many of them formed again under the Db.

Current situation and political influence

Today, the DB 66 member of the member of the member belongs to Germany and Austria. In Germany, the movement has lost influence; Nevertheless, fraternities are represented in various political parties and are particularly pointing their hopes on the alternative for Germany (AfD). In Austria, on the other hand, fraternities are more influential, especially in the Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ), which underlines the close connection between fraternities and political right -wing extremism.

The male -dominated structure of the fraternities, which usually excludes women from membership, is particularly striking. This exclusion and the fixed ideal of masculinity play a central role in the self -image of the fraternities. The ideology of these organizations is often described as ethnic nationalism, which understands the German people as a parentage community and is strongly distanced from liberal ideals.

The coming week will be exciting discussions and events around the Burbschentag in Eisenach, in which the participants have the opportunity to exchange ideas about the historical and current challenges of the fraternities.
