history
The German-Baltic student union Fraternitas Rigensis was founded on January 21, 1823 by twelve students from Riga in Dorpat, based on the principle of the national team . The student union saw its task in the "preparation for future effectiveness in the fatherland Riga Livonia".
When Estonia was founded , the students from Riga could no longer study in German or Russian at the now Estonian University of Tartu , so that in 1921 the Fraternitas Rigensis relocated to Riga, where the University of Latvia had just been founded.
With the resettlement due to the German-Soviet non-aggression pact , Aktivitas was dissolved in 1939. The Phil Championship met until 1998.
