Title
Corps Concordia Rigensis was founded in Riga on November 29th, 1869. At that time, Riga was a Hanseatic city with many Germans living there. Having to leave our hometown in 1939 and not being able to return to Riga because of the outcome of the World War II, we re-founded Concordia Rigensis in Hamburg in 1956. Hence Corps Concordia Rigensis zu Hamburg is the oldest (active) German-Baltic fraternity. We are members of both the Baltic Philister Association [B!Ph!V!] and the head organisation of German (fencing) fraternities [KSCV].
Description
Corps Concordia Rigensis Our connection to Baltic States
During our years in Hamburg we never forgot our roots. Not only did we keep up the traditions of German Baltic fraternities -but after 1991 we have taken up a lot of contacts to Latvian and Estonian fraternities.
Since 1993 Estonian and Latvian fraternities and sororities and German-Baltic fraternities meet every year in one of the three countries to celebrate "Gesamtbaltischen Völkerkommers". Younger members of Corps Concordia Rigensis, particularly, like to take part in these celebrations and many a friendship has been made in Munich or Riga or will be made in Tartu or Hamburg.
Also,we are members of an initiative called "Brücke zum Baltikum" (Bridge to the Baltics)
Members of Corps Concordia Rigensis transported equipment and medicine to Latvia to help Latvian hospitals.
