history

Archigymnasium from 1821 to 1928, today the east wing of the town hall

In 1532 the new Protestant church order in Soest made a new Latin school necessary next to the old chapter school at the Patroklistift. Municipal combing accounts of 1534 documented expenses for a nygen schoylmester . In 1544 Philipp Melanchthon recommended Lubertus Florinus as rector to the city council. Even John Sybel (1500-after 1558) was rector of the high school. In the course of the Counter Reformation, the school was closed in 1548 and reopened in 1560.

In 1570 a Renaissance school building, decorated on the outside with Hebrew, Greek and Latin inscriptions, was built by master builder Laurenz von Brachum on the Vreithof. The Didascalia Susatensis appeared in 1618 as curriculum and school rules in print. Two years later the school was called Archigymnasium (Obergymnasium), in competition with the parish and corner schools set up at short notice and with a view to the Latin schools in neighboring cities. In 1681, 100 pupils, 56 local and 44 foreign, attended the Archigymnasium in four classes; Disputationes appear annually .

Between 1780 and 1800 the enlightenment reform discussion and the change from the Protestant school of scholars to the neo-humanist grammar school began. In 1788 the Archigymnasium took part in the first Abitur examination in Prussia. Around 1800 Johann Ludolph Florens Sybel (1736–1823) was also pastor at the Church of St. Petri , teacher at the grammar school, the father of Heinrich Ferdinand Philipp von Sybel . The now dilapidated Renaissance school building was demolished in 1821 and a new school building was built on the east side of the town hall.

From 1825 on, the newly founded Provincial School College in Münster supervised the teaching and administration of the Archigymnasium. In 1900 the Prussian state took over the sponsorship of the ancient language Archigymnasium. In 1928 the school moved to the former seminar building on Niederbergheimer Strasse, which was built in 1881.

In 1974 the city of Soest took over the sponsorship of the Archigymnasium. The Soest City Archives have been keeping the archive and library ever since. The introduction of the so-called newly designed upper secondary school (NGO) in 1976 ended the old-language training.

In 2009 a celebration for the 475th anniversary took place at the Archigymnasium. This was initiated with a lantern procession.

Self-learning center

The self-study center of the Archigymnasium has been available since February 2005. High school students have the opportunity to look for information from the Internet on networked PCs in their free periods or to borrow one of hundreds of books in order to learn and work independently.

The self-learning center (SLZ) was largely set up by the 2007 high school students as part of the “Social Responsibility” project. Due to the fact that they could not always stay at the school, they learned the future underprima in order to ensure a smooth process and a continued above-average organization in the future.

The self-learning center was largely financed by the support association of the Archigymnasium.
