Corps Concordia Rigensis

The international corps members are called Concords and form a cross-generational, lifelong bond of friendship.

[3] Together with Rubonia, founded in 1875, and Fraternitas Marcomannia (1902), these four formed the first connections for German students in what was then Russian Riga.

In the first year of the World War II, the German-Soviet non-aggression pact added the Baltics to the Soviet area of influence, and the resettlement of the German-Baltic people was ordered.

Therefore, the corps was suspended on October 14, 1939, but plans were made to reactive the Concordia Rigensis when the opportunity arose.

[7] However, reactivation was prevented by politics after the resettlement where the only organization allowed by the state was an old gentlemen's association.

The color band of Concordia Rigensis is blue-gold-red with a width of 2 cm, which is typical for the Baltics.

Members were a small dark blue student cap with a gold, embroidered star called a Baltenstern.

The Corps' motto is "Wahr und treu – kühn und frei sowie Viribus units" or "True and Faithful - Bold and Free with United Forces" All Baltic corps have significant differences when compared to other student associations based in Germany.
