history

Riga

The Baltic compatriot Concordia Rigensis was founded on November 29, 1869 in Riga by resigned members of the Fraternitas Baltica at the University of Riga as the second German student union . Together with Rubonia, founded in 1875, and Fraternitas Marcomannia (1902), these four established the first connections for German students in what was then the Russian city of Riga.

On January 24, 1870, Concordia was a co-founder of the Rigenser Chargierten-Convent . Some of the members resigned in the winter semester of 1880/81 to found Selonia . Concordia resigned from the Chargierten-Convent on October 27, 1906 and was resumed on March 27, 1907. Due to the war, it was suspended in the summer semester of 1915 and reconstituted on October 14, 1918. Subsequently, the Chargierten-Convent was re-established. From January 31, 1919 to September 1920, Concordia was again suspended due to the war. In 1921 she was admitted to the (Latvian) Presidential Convention. She resigned from the Presidential Convention on October 30, 1922 and took part in the reconstitution of the Chargierten-Convent the following day. From July 6, 1924 to May 14, 1932, she was again a member of the Presidential Convention. Due to the German-Soviet non-aggression pact, she had to suspend on October 14, 1939 and leave the Baltic States . The old gentlemen's association formed the old gentlemen VI of the National Socialist German Student Union in Poznan since 1941 .

Hamburg

Convents quarter in Hamburg

After the Second World War, Concordia did not return to Riga. It was reconstituted on October 13, 1956 as a corps in Hamburg. Since May 22, 1958, she has been renouncing the Hamburg Seniors' Convention . Recipiert and on 10 June 1959 in the SC order in the Convents Association Senior Kösener added (KSCV), Concordia Rigensis is to scale and stripes . From December 1, 1970 to November 29, 1984, the corps was suspended. The founding of the Helmut Schmidt University brought an upswing . Many officers are still active at Concordia.

Concordia Rigensis is the only one of the then numerous German-Baltic student associations that has survived to this day. All other connections have perished or have merged into new connections. Today there are three student associations, the Concordia Rigensis, which continue the special traditions of the German-Baltic student associations: the Fraternitas Dorpatensis in Munich (founded in 1948) and the Corps Curonia Goettingensis (founded in 1959). All three corporations are members of the Baltic Philistine Association .

Like the other two German-Baltic student associations, the Concordia Rigensis maintains lively connections to the Baltic States again after the fall of the Iron Curtain and is actively involved in the German-Baltic Völkerkommersen, which it organized in Hamburg in 1996, 2005 and 2016.

Colors and motto

The color band of Concordia Rigensis is blue-gold-red. A small dark blue student hat (lid) with a golden, embroidered star ( Baltic star ) on the top is worn for this. As is common in the Baltic States, the Concorden foxes do not wear a fox ribbon, but only a black lid (as they are still color-free). The motto of the Corps is True and Faithful - Bold and Free and Viribus Unitis .

Baltic peculiarities

Compared to other student associations based in Germany, all Baltic corps show some significant differences. Terms and behavior originate from the early days of the connection system (18th and early 19th centuries), which have been more or less preserved in the Baltic States (and thus far from the further development of German connections). So one calls z. B. the fox major as old man, probably based on the elder man of the guilds of the Hanseatic cities . There is also no mention of the corporation house , but of the "Conventsquartier" ("C! Q!"). Much importance is attached to the preservation of the old student songs. Even the Baltic pub does not know the formal process as it developed in the German Empire . In addition, vodka and Baltic specialties such as pierogi , originating from Russian influence, are offered.

Nevania

In 1970 the Concordia Rigensis committed itself to keeping alive the memory of the German-Baltic Corps Nevania from St. Petersburg (founded in 1847). Since 1910, both corps were linked by a cartel .
