history
The time until 1945
The Prague fraternity Teutonia was founded on December 16, 1876 by German students from Karl Ferdinand University and the German Technical University in Prague under the significant influence of Raphael Pacher and Ludwig Ausserwinkler as an “academic-technical fraternity”. Their goal was to renew the fraternity movement on Prague soil in the sense of the original fraternity and to bring together German students of technology and the university in a community of equals, since otherwise they were subject to a clear separation in Austria-Hungary . From 1876 to 1938, Teutonia was active in the oldest German university town of Prague and has formed the Black-Red-Golden Cartel with the Vienna academic fraternity of Albia since 1879 and with the Graz academic fraternity of Arminia since 1887 , which sees itself as a fraternity at three university locations . It is the oldest cartel within the German fraternity. The first fraternity racket in Prague was fought on April 10, 1880 (according to other information on April 2, 1880) between the Prague Teutons and Viennese albums Paul von Portheim and Eduard Gerson von Hilaria Prague (from June 1880 " Alemannia ").
In the First World War from 1914 to 1918 Teutonia lost 18 federal brothers in the fighting on the Russian, Italian and Serbian fronts. From 1918 to 1939 Teutonia worked within the newly founded Czechoslovakia . In 1919 Teutonia became a member of the German Burschenschaft and in 1922 a member of the "White Working Group". From its self-dissolution from 1938 to 1945, the federal government existed in the form of the comradeship "Fritsch II", then comradeship "Josef Titta" within the NSDStB . In the Second World War from 1939 to 1945, Teutonia lost 15 federal brothers and in the course of the expulsion of the Germans from Bohemia between 1945 and 1947 14 other federal brothers.
The time after 1945
From 1945 to 1952 Teutonia was banned by the Allies and postponed due to the post-war situation.
In 1952 Teutonia was re-established in Nuremberg and, as in 1919 to 1933, rejoined the German fraternity in 1952. From 1952 to 1962, her academic home was mainly the Nuremberg University of Economics and Social Sciences . In 1956 Teutonia became a member of the White Circle and in 1961 a member of the newly founded fraternity . In 1963 Teutonia moved to Erlangen to the Friedrich-Alexander University and 20 years later (1983) moved to Regensburg to the University of Regensburg, which was founded in 1962 . There she acquired her own fraternity house in 1996 for the first time in her history.
With effect from December 12th, 2009 the fraternities Libertas Würzburg and Teutonia Prague zu Regensburg have merged to form the Prague fraternity Teutonia zu Würzburg . The fraternity house in Regensburg was sold in order to acquire another one in Würzburg.
Colors and motto
The colors of the Prague fraternity Teutonia are black, red and gold with red and black counter percussion . They are worn by fraternity guys and foxes alike.

criticism
Right-wing extremist tendencies of Teutonia Prague were repeatedly discussed in the media. In 2001, Teutonia Prague (then still in Regensburg) was mentioned in connection with the efforts of right-wing extremists to gain influence at universities through the fraternities. Criticism was also directed against the fact that people close to the New Right such as Götz Kubitschek and Bernd Rabehl were given the opportunity to give lectures at Teutonia.
In 2013, the then domestic policy spokesman for the CDU parliamentary group in the Berlin House of Representatives, Robbin Juhnke, came under fire for having given a lecture in 2012 at the association, which is now based in Würzburg. Juhnke then stated that he was not aware of the allegations against the community; even during the evening of the lecture, he had "not had the slightest impression that there might be people who represent extremist positions".
