The Kilianeum is a former boarding school, founded in 1871 as a Chilianeum and named after the Franconian apostle Kilian , in the southeast of the old town of Würzburg in today's Ottostraße, which, after its closure in July 1998 and subsequent renovation, has been used by the diocese of Würzburg as a house of youth since July 15, 2000 is being used.

The Kilianeum goes back to the efforts of Bishop Georg Anton von Stahl , who died in 1870 , to set up a boys' college, which should enable penniless boys to graduate from high school, study theology and (at the Würzburg seminary ) to train as priests.

Due to the strong demand, a Kilianeum was opened for the Untermaing area in Miltenberg in 1927 and a boarding school for boys of the same name in Bad Königshofen in 1964 . Like the main building, both buildings are no longer used in their original function as student dormitories; the St. Kilian youth center was set up in Miltenberg and the St. Michael meeting center in Bad Königshofen .

Building history

The four-winged building with a courtyard dates back to the 1670-1673 newly established Benedictine - monastery St. Afra back, which is a recently because of the construction of a new city wall demolished eponymous predecessor Monastery St. Afra (1506, with the support of nuns of the Bursfelde Congregation belonging Benedictine priory St. Scholastika reformed to the Gnadenpforte ) a little east of Haug Abbey . In the course of secularization in Bavaria , the Afra monastery was dissolved on April 24, 1803 after almost 700 years of existence and the monastery property was declared state property.

Leo Stecher set up a brewery in the north and east wings he acquired in 1805. The south and west wings were bought by the district commissioner von Papius in 1807. From 1820 the nave in the north wing was converted into a four-story residential building. The east wing with its brewery cellars and garden was sold to the Konradi brewery in 1817 and again to Adam Gebhardt in 1820; the south and west wings were acquired by the Orphanage Foundation in 1831.

In 1854 the Serger family set up a girls 'secondary school in the north wing , before the institute was acquired by the Würzburg diocese on May 4, 1868, in order to open the Chilianeum boys' seminar on October 4, 1871 with 20 students. In 1879 the diocese bought the east wing, which was used from 1902 to expand the boarding school to 127 pupils . When the south and west wings were rented in 1922, the boarding school capacity increased to 200 Kilianists , and in 1928 these wings were bought by the Orphanage Foundation . During his tenure as bishop Matthias Ehrenfried had the building of the Episcopal Boys' College Kilianeum renovated. From 1935 to 1938, the parts of the building were re-assembled to form the former unit of the monastery through extensive renovations; In 1941 the four-wing building was expropriated and used as a police headquarters and Gestapo headquarters until it was destroyed on March 16, 1945 .

During the reconstruction from 1946, the boarding school was first in Münnerstadt and later until 1949 in the Vinzentinum (founded in 1853) in Würzburg, which had been in the Grombühl district since 1891 , before Bishop Julius Döpfner was able to inaugurate the newly built house in 1952.

From 1966 to 1969, the south wing was extended to the east by a new extension, which housed a swimming pool, a chapel, nurses' apartments and music room. The last general renovation of the now five-wing building complex took place between 1978 and 1982. Despite a modern interior, the Kilianeum had to close in 1998 due to a sharp drop in the number of students (from 1980 to 1993 the occupancy fell from 150 to 50).
