Frage:	Hauszwang
DE > EN	#795966 von Badger (US), 2015-04-07, 05:24 Spam? In an article "Kolleg" (universitär) in Brill's Enzyklopädie der Neuzeit, I find this sentence (actually with reference to the late Middle Ages): "Aus disziplinarischen Gründen war seit dem 14. Jh. ein allgemeiner *Hauszwang* (“Bursenzwang”) vorgeschrieben." I'm guessing (largely only the basis of "Bursenzwang" that it means something like compulsory residence/membership in a Kolleg or Burse, but I would appreciate confirmation or correction. Thanks in advance.

"Bursenzwang" means that (college or university) students have to live together in one particular building, present themselves in a uniform way (often also wear uniform clothes) and follow strict house rules. "Hauszwang" is more general and can be used - with the basically same meaning - also outside of academic institutions. For example, I could imagine that for the residents of a nursing home there is a "Hauszwang", i.e. they are not allowed to leave the institution without special permission or, if they may go out (e.g. for shopping), they are generally not allowed to stay elsewhere over night, but must return to their "house".

	von Proteus-, 2015-04-07, 11:12 Spam? 194.118.121.... In the 13th century, rioting between town and gown (townspeople and students) hastened the establishment of primitive halls of residence. These were succeeded by the first of Oxford's colleges, which began as medieval 'halls of residence' or endowed houses under the supervision of a Master. University, Balliol and Merton Colleges, which were established between 1249 and 1264, are the oldest. http://www.ox.ac.uk/about/organisation/history The compulsory residence of all the undergraduates, the pedantic strictness in the forms and the notorious laxness of the administratioa of the college system, with the almost entire disuse of the professorial function, and of university freedom, are topics of almost universal complaint. http://www.forgottenbooks.com/readbook_text/The_American_Colleges_a...
