history
The vocational college, named after the Catholic priest Adolph Kolping since 1978 , was founded in 1829 as the first Sunday school in Westphalia. In May 1850, the “Sunday School” was converted into a voluntary advanced training school for craftsmen. The courses offered initially consisted of drawing, German and arithmetic for various professions in the locksmith and mechanic trade.
In 1905 the advanced training school was raised to the rank of compulsory school with a pupil number of 1000. After these and their affiliated arts and crafts classes of the former School for Arts and Crafts of the Muenster Art Cooperative had to hold their lessons in four buildings, the City Council of Münster decided on May 6, 1914, to further develop the advanced training system and to meet the trade requirements Construction of a new school building in the center of Münster, between Lotharingerstrasse and the promenade. The inauguration of the red brick building with the typical Baumberger sandstone decorations and its simple baroque forms took place on October 26, 1916 and is reminiscent of a small castle in the style of the prince-bishop's master builder Johann Conrad Schlaun . In fact, it was built on the foundations of the prison built by Schlaun, which was demolished in 1914. The new two-wing building took the baroque risalit into its facade as a copy and this is the school's trademark to this day. From 1916 it operates as the new “craft training school”.
In 1921 it was converted into a “commercial vocational school”, which deliberately focused on vocational training and not on further training for students. This also expanded the range of courses to include disciplines such as tool, materials and manufacturing as well as correspondence and community studies. Finally, Sunday and evening classes were abandoned and the morning classes with three years of compulsory schooling, which are still common today, were adopted. In the mid-1920s, the educational offer was expanded and u. a. refined in the fields of carpentry, metalworking and painting, printing technology and the food industry. In 1929, a preliminary class was set up for the first time for students with learning difficulties. In the 1930s the total number of students was already over 2500.
During the Second World War the school was closed in 1944 due to constant air raids. As early as 1945, teachers and students actively campaigned for the removal of the war damage, removed rubble and obtained bricks from neighboring rubble sites, so that the building was poorly prepared again in 1946. The complete reconstruction lasted until 1949.
As a result of the economic miracle , the total number of students grew to over 4,500 by the mid-1950s: All trades, technical, agricultural, domestic and domestic and social care full-time forms had to share the school building with 19 classrooms and six specialist rooms, which is why from morning until it was occupied in three shifts in the evening. Due to the spatial congestion, the school was divided into the vocational school for boys and that for girls in 1958, with the girls being taken over by the Anne Frank School, the new educational institution for women's professions.
At the beginning of 1966, the City Council of Münster tried again to overcome the lack of space by dividing the student body into the vocational school for boys I and II. Only the arts and food industry, color and interior designers, printers, opticians / watchmakers and young workers remained in the commercial vocational school II on Lotharingerstraße with a pupil number of 4,300. At the same time, the establishment of a day school began there to obtain the technical college entrance qualification. As a result, the student body continued to grow, and with it the lack of space, so that despite a renovation in 1967, up to eight locations had to be taught at the same time. By resolution of the council of October 25, 1978, the commercial vocational school II was renamed “Adolph Kolping School”.
After several years of negotiations, at the end of 1981 the city council passed the decision to convert the neighboring building, the former engineering school for civil engineering, for future use by the Adolph Kolping School. In the late summer of 1983 the food department was able to move in there, so that the school next to Lotharingerstraße could only concentrate on one external location, the color and interior design department in the former Erpho school. In the mid-1980s, the establishment of the three-year higher vocational school for design began, which offers its students the double qualification of the technical college entrance qualification ("Fachabitur") with the recognized professional qualification of a "state-certified design assistant" in full-time lessons.
In 2007 the school was renamed "Adolph Kolping Vocational College | Secondary school in the city of Münster ”. In 2008, the vocational high school was added, offering the above-mentioned double qualification with a general higher education entrance qualification (“Vollabitur”) with a focus on design. The school currently has around 2500 students, who are spread over a total of 43 different courses.
Arcadia Gallery Artothek
The Arkadien Galerie Artothek is a student company of the Adolph Kolping Vocational College, which is run by students of the course "Design assistants with general university entrance qualifications". The students should perceive artistic works in their respective contemporary contexts in order to establish direct connections between social phenomena and simultaneous design expressions. Contemporary art and contemporary graphics become subjects of interactive learning on a creative and economic level.
This concept is intended to prepare for future professional perspectives and careers with their high demands on flexibility, creativity, information processing and responsible behavior. In cooperation with extracurricular partners from the fields of advertising, art, business and administration, the students are introduced to a wide range of professional and individual orientation.
