 On September 1, 1933 at Frankfurt am Main, the "Kartellverband" was merged into the "Ring katholischer deutscher Burschenschaften", despite objections from within, over the fact that a "color-carrying" and a "non-"coleur"-wearing" board had been combined; and from without, as the "Deutsche Burschenschaft" accused the "RKDB" of name infringement.The merger did not last long.On July 10, 1933, the "Studentenvereine" in Austria severed ties with the Alliance on account of Austro-German tensions at the time, and incorporated an "Österreichischer Cartellverband"; the "Kartellverband katholischer nichtfarbentragender akademischer Vereinigungen Österreichs" incorporated July 22 of the same year.
