Biography
Formation

The club's inception took place at the Clube Ginástico Teuto-Brasileiro, where these young men gathered to play various sports. The introduction of football to the group came from Frederico "Fritz" Essenfelder, who brought a leather ball and explained the rules of the game. Following a series of informal matches, the club was officially established on October 12, 1909, and initially named Teuto-Brasileiro, marking it as the first football club in the state of Paraná.

Despite this early setback, the club quickly grew in popularity and began to establish itself within the local football scene. Over the years, Coritiba has become known for its competitive spirit and has achieved significant success in various tournaments, including the Campeonato Paranaense, where they have won numerous titles.
Honours and Legacy

Career & Clubs
Foundation
In 1909, a group of young men met in the Clube Ginástico Teuto-Brasileiro Turnverein (German-Brazilian Gymnastics Club Turnverein – "Turnverein" being the German word for gymnastics club), where the German immigrant community of Curitiba gathered to play a variety of sports. In July of that year, a prominent member of the club, Frederico "Fritz" Essenfelder arrived with a leather ball in hand. He explained to his friends that it was a football and he explained the rules of this new game. Fritz and his friends within the club started organizing matches in the field of the Quartel da Força Pública (Public Force Headquarters). Later, an invitation came to play a match against a club of workers, many of them British, from the Ponta Grossa railway. On 12 October 1909, Fritz called a meeting in the old Theatro Hauer (Hauer Theatre) to arrange the first match. A decision was made to form a football club, and he would call it Teuto-Brasileiro. Teuto-Brasileiro would be the first football club in the state of Paraná.
The First Match
On 23 October 1909, in Ponta Grossa, the club had its first official match. The opponents were Clube de Foot Ball de Tiro Pontagrossense, made up of employees from the South American Brazilian Engineering Company. The match was won by Tiro Pontagrossense, with a 1–0 scoreline, the goal being scored by Elias Mota. Coritiba's team for the first match was: Arthur Iwersen, Erothildes Carlberg, Leopoldo Obladen, Arthur Hauer,…
