The Freistudentschaft was a German student body established in Wilhelmine Germany in 1900. It brought together students on a liberal basis, rejecting the uniforms other aspects of the German Student Corps. Students outside these Corps were called the "Nicht-Inkorporierten" (not-incorporated). However a dilemma soon arose as regards to whether the organisation should be non-political and embrace all the Nicht-Inkorporierten, or adopt an ideology to advance specific reforms.{{cite journal |last1=Reichenbach |first1=Marie |title=Student years: Introductory Note to Part 1 |journal=Hans Reichenbach: Selected Writings, 1909-1953 |date=1978 |volume=I}}
