history
Cathedral school as a priest school in the Middle Ages
In the Middle Ages in Bremen on consisted Dom , the cathedral school for the training of future priests. Archbishop Johannes II von Schlamstorf , for example, was head of the cathedral school from 1373 to 1381 before he became archdeacon . Otherwise there were the monastery schools in Bremen .
Free Latin School
After the Reformation , the Reformed Churches prevailed in the Evangelical Church in Bremen from 1522 to 1561 after a violent dispute . The Lutheran Bremen Cathedral was even closed for 77 years after 1561 until 1638. In 1528 the Free Latin School ( frey Schole, Schola Bremensis , also known as the school of scholars , later Paedagogeum ) was founded in St. Catherine's Monastery , which as a result of the development also became the school of the Reformed.
Cathedral school
The Lutheran cathedral school was founded in 1642 by the Evangelical Lutheran Archbishop of Bremen and the cathedral chapter as a school in competition with the Reformed Free Latin School. The Bremen council protested in vain against this new establishment. The Athenaeum was housed in the chapter house south of the cathedral on the Domsheide . In 1648 school regulations were issued.
After the Thirty Years War , the Duchy of Bremen (excluding the city) and thus the cathedral and cathedral school fell to the Swedes . From then on it was subject to a church consistory .
As a rule, the Latin school had six teachers: Rector, Vice Rector, Sub- Rector, a Collaborator , a Cantor for music lessons and, from 1683, also a Grammaticus . The professors and teachers also had to work in church service until 1648.
Athenaeum
In 1681 the Athenaeum was attached to the school as a department for students, also as a competitor to the Reformed Paedagogeum . The Athenaeum was the academic, advanced level of the Latin School. The Athenaeum library enjoyed an outstanding reputation. Initially, only a few students attended the Athenaeum. In 1718 the cathedral school and the Athenaeum came to the Electorate of Hanover . In 1726 there were 89 students at the Athenaeum. With the arrival of many Lutheran citizens, the number of cathedral students increased.
Lyceum
In 1803 the cathedral area came to the city of Bremen through secularization in accordance with the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss . The cathedral school was subordinated to a scholarchate (outdated for the management of a higher educational institution) and converted into a lyceum ( grammar school ). The number of students has now increased to 170.
secondary schools
In 1817, the Lyceum was integrated into the newly founded secondary school in Bremen, which consisted of the preschool, the school for scholars (grammar school) and the commercial school .
