Fraternity houses
Since the beginning of foundations of Central European universities around the 14th century, students have been organizing themselves and forming associations, clubs or fraternities at the universities.
The purpose of these associations was to round off the academic and professional education of the university and at the same time to educate students to belong to the upper class of German society. In short: „The universities taught, the fraternities educated.“
Interesting Fact:
The concept of “Fraternity” in German is called “Verbindungen”, which translates to “connections”.
