The Augustinerschule Friedberg is a grammar school in Friedberg (Hesse) .

The school was founded in 1543, making it one of the five oldest high schools in Hesse. It was initially set up in the city's former barefoot monastery . In 1581 the school was moved to the building of the former Augustinian monastery , which is where the name of the school comes from. In 1901 a new school building was moved into, the current old building, which was supplemented by extensions in two later phases. It currently houses around 1,200 students.

The Augustinian School has a musical focus.

history

The Augustinian School was founded as a Latin school in the city of Friedberg during the Reformation. The decline of the monastic orders at the beginning of the 16th century led to the barefoot monastery being sold. The city council decided on April 19, 1543: " The barefoot closter should be turned into a pedagogio ". This year is considered to be the founding year of the municipal Friedberg Latin School. Since the move to the vacant Augustinian monastery in 1581, the name Augustinerschule has become commonplace for the Latin school. The building in Augustinergasse housed the school for over 300 years.

The first teacher at the school was Magister Hieronymus Hanuoldt, a Silesian who had studied with Philipp Melanchthon in Wittenberg and was sent by him to Friedberg at the request of Burgrave Johann Brendel von Homburg . To commemorate this burgrave, the Friedberg district gave the school a cast of his grave slab on the 425th anniversary of the school in 1968, which is to the right of the main entrance on Goetheplatz.

From 1818 to 1860, Dr. Philipp Dieffenbach Rector, known as a school organizer and Friedberg town historian. An attempt at school in Friedberg between 1839 and 1850 to combine the Latin school with two urban elementary schools in a comprehensive school to form a “joint model school” goes back to him. In this school, science and French came alongside traditional education. German also played an increasingly important role. But protests soon arose against the amalgamation of higher and elementary education, the school could not do anything right in any field, and so a private institute was founded next to it. This finally led to the separation again in 1850, the Augustinerschule was rebuilt as a secondary school with 81 students. It was more contemporary than the Latin school, but received a Latin school branch as a Progymnasium. The school leavers did not have a university entrance qualification, but only the right to one year of voluntary military service. Under the direction of Theodor Goldmann, the founder of the Friedberger Geschichtsverein and the Wetterau Museum , the development to a full institution was achieved in 1898. In 1899 the first Abitur took place. He also suggested the new building on Goetheplatz, which was built in the neo-Renaissance style from 1899–1901 and was occupied by 414 students. In 1905 the first girl was accepted. In 1921, the Realschule achieved the status of a full establishment as an Oberrealschule, and the first Abitur examination was taken here in 1924.

On the occasion of the inauguration of the new building in 1901, former donors appeared for the first time. After the First World War, solidarity grew between the schoolchildren who had returned from the war and the dismissed students, and in 1922 the Association of Former Augustinian Students was founded, which has since pursued the goal of maintaining contact with one another and with the school and its teachers even after leaving school. Augustinertag has been celebrated since 1923, a school festival with Kommers and originally also a ceremonial act, ball and sports competitions. Since 1926 contact between the alumni has been maintained by the magazine "Es war once".

During the Nazi era , the Hitler Youth became the third educational power alongside parents and schools. On the free Saturdays, cross-country and military sports took place, boxing became an integral part of gymnastics lessons. Before the start of the class, there was a morning celebration with body school. The students of the Jewish faith who attended the school had been excluded from any further education since 1935. Family and genealogy, race and heredity played a major role in the classroom. During the war, the students collected used material, medicinal herbs, rose hips and beechnuts. Lessons were often affected by coal holidays in winter. On September 16, 1942, the school gymnasium served as a collection point for the Friedberg Jews before they were deported to the extermination camps. In 1945 the school was closed for seven months.

After the war, former soldiers took special courses to catch up on their Abitur, as the maturity notes were not recognized from 1943 onwards. Because of the poor food situation, school meals were given. In the 1950s, school life normalized and gradually evolved into what is common today. Since 1950 the school has enjoyed financial support from the Association of Patrons of the Augustinian School, and trainee lawyers have been trained here since 1951. In 1954 the school authorities changed from the city to the district, which in 1958 built the natural science extension (N) and in 1965 the extension (E) with a second gym. Later, the Haus des Handwerks was rented and a part of the Henry Benrath School building was used because the school building on Goetheplatz was no longer sufficient to accommodate the increased number of students, especially since 1968 when co-education had been introduced, which previously was only in the area of ​​ancient language High school. Since 1956, the so-called branch grammar school has allowed specialization in a mathematical-scientific branch and in a modern language branch. The old-language grammar school, the old Latin school, continued until the graduation class 1978. This branch system was finally developed further to today's upper secondary school via the intermediate form of the course system . Since 1979 there has been an approach with French as the first foreign language. The school has offered computer science since 1983 .

activities

The school is very involved in the field of music and has already been a successful participant in the Wetterau choir competition, as well as in other activities such as the Frankfurt Skyliner tournament, or in many math competitions. She strongly encourages gifted children and received an award for this in the 2008/2009 school year.
