Wingolf

Wingolf (German: [ˈvɪŋɡɔlf]) is an umbrella organisation of 35 student fraternities at 34 universities in Germany, Austria and Estonia. It has approximately 5,000 members. It is one of the oldest oecumenical organisations in Germany. It has a close friendship with the Falkensteinerbund in Switzerland.

It is a Christian fraternity, wears its own colours (black, white, gold), and was the first German Studentenverbindung not to practise academic fencing.

Motto[]

The motto of all Wingolf fraternities is "Δι ένoς πάντα" - "Di henos panta" (Greek: all things through him (= Jesus Christ)). (Philippians 4, Verse 13).
