history
Today's Anna Schmidt School was founded in 1886 by Anna Schmidt, who was born in Frankfurt . The first location was on Mainzer Landstrasse , which was intended for female students. After three years, the school moved into a "real" school building on Blittersdorffplatz due to foreseeable success. The Royal Provincial School College recognized it as a higher education institution in 1900, which is why the school management expanded the teaching program. In addition to the classic subjects such as German, arithmetic, religion, languages and handicrafts, natural sciences and gymnastics were now also taught. In 1929 Anna Schmidt died, who up until then had earned the school an excellent reputation in the field of foreign languages.
Käthe Heisterbergk took over the management as the successor to Anna Schmidt. Heisterbergk kept the school going during the Great Depression , the Nazi era , the war and the post-war period . Several times she had to find new accommodation for her students because the classrooms were destroyed by aerial bombs in the air raids on Frankfurt am Main . Käthe Heisterbergk died in 1948.
Three years after the end of the Second World War , Paul Scheid took over the Anna Schmidt School. He introduced primary school classes for boys and girls, opened a Montessori children's home and a Montessori primary school, which are committed to the principles of Maria Montessori (“Help me to do it myself”). Thanks to its international work, the school was recognized as a UNESCO project school in 1979.
In 1986 Herbert Weidlich took over the management of the school, which was then taken over by Michael Gehrig in 1998. In November 2008 allegations of misappropriation of financial donations against school principal Michael Gehrig led to his replacement by Petra König. Students and parents reacted with violent reproaches and expressed their solidarity with Gehrig. In the summer of 2010, the deputy director Detlev Drascher left the Anna Schmidt School due to internal quarrels with the new school management and founded the private school Mundanis, where some teachers from the Anna Schmidt School also moved at the beginning of 2010.
