history

The Fraternitas Baltica was founded on November 13, 1865 by 17 German-Baltic students in Riga and had its origins in the fencing floor association founded in 1863. In 1867 she was involved in founding the General Polytechnic Convent, which determined social life at the institute. In 1869, some members left the Fraternitas Baltica and founded the Corps Concordia Rigensis , which still exists today . During the First World War, when the Riga Polytechnic Institute was evacuated to Moscow, the corporation was suspended. After the end of the war, the Fraternitas Baltica reopened its active business at the Technical Faculty of the Latvian University. It had to be suspended in 1938 and was finally dissolved in 1939. The remaining members took part in the founding of the Corps Curonia Goettingensis in Göttingen in 1959, which continues the tradition of the Fraternitas Baltica to this day.
