The BG / BRG Berndorf and originally Krupp Privat-Realgymnasium (1898–1938) has been run since 1989 as a federal high school and a federal high school. It is located in the city of Bern village in the district of Baden in Lower Austria .
history
The factory owner Hermann Krupp (1814–1879) in the small farming village of Berndorf was responsible for the political and ecclesiastical separation of the emerging industrial center from the community of Pottenstein . In 1852 he founded a private school for the working class children. Under his successor Arthur Krupp (1856–1938), in 1898 the idea of organizing a high school in Berndorf for the sons of factory officials arose. The parents were able to enroll the sons in the state secondary and upper level high school in Baden as private students . Arthur Krupp provided two workers' houses as school premises and employed students from the law faculty of the University of Vienna as teachers. In the third school year 1900/1901, the director Wittek of the Baden grammar school succeeded in establishing the grammar school as an independent private secondary school on a legal basis in Berndorf and opening it up to all children from Berndorf and the surrounding area. When the Ministry of Education officially gave the school the name Krupp Privat-Realgymnasium and public rights in 1908, 9 teachers taught 36 boys and 2 girls there in addition to the director.
Due to the constant growth of the factory and the local population, around 1000 elementary school students moved to the Berndorfer schools near the Margaretenkirche in 1910 . The elementary school building at Kislingerplatz 5, built in 1896 according to the plans of the architect Ludwig Baumann , was vacated and the Krupp private secondary school was able to move from the workers' houses there.
After the First World War , the Krupp company found itself in financial difficulties and tried to cede the private high school to the municipality, the state of Lower Austria and the federal government. An initiative by teachers, parents and the municipality to the then Minister of Education Otto Glöckel was unsuccessful because the state lacked the necessary financial resources. To keep the school going, the teachers temporarily waived their wages and the parents paid high school fees. Due to the global economic crisis , the school was threatened with closure because the municipality and the state wanted to end the subsidies, which was averted by constant interventions by citizens of the entire Triesting Valley. In 1935, with the Austrofascism a pre-military education introduced. In 1938, when Austria was annexed to Hitler's Germany, the state's takeover of the grammar school was celebrated as an act of National Socialist Germany and renamed the State High School for Boys . In the following World War II , 6 teachers from the school and over 30 graduates lost their lives.
After the war, the school building was damaged by billeting, looting and shell hits. After the reconstruction, the building was owned by the municipality and was donated to the federal government in 1956. In 1967, for the first time, all lower grades were run twice, the upper grades split into a modern-language and realistic branch. The number of students had already risen to over 500. 19 classes were taught in a school building for 9 classes. The negotiations for a new high school lasted from 1962 to the start of construction in 1981. From May 29, 1985, teaching was carried out in the new high school with 18 classes, 2 gymnasiums and 7 special classrooms.
