history

→ Main articles : University of Tartu  and German-Baltic student associations

In the corporation, the compatriots of Livonia gathered , whose strong class differences were canceled out within the active life. The life of the Dörpt student associations was never as tightly organized as that of the German corps . The defensive character in a country in which the Baltic Germans were only a minority was underlined by the motto : "It stays the same!" One of the founding members was a grandfather of the same name of Hermann Hesse , who was studying medicine there at the time. In 1939 the corporation in Dorpat had to be suspended when the Baltic Germans were relocated as a result of the German-Soviet border and friendship treaty. In the post-war period in Germany , individual members of the Livonia participated in the founding of the Fraternitas Dorpatensis in Munich and the Corps Curonia Goettingensis. The Philistine Association of Livonia dissolved in 1997.
