history
A collegiate school had been located at the Heiligenstadt Church of St. Martin since 960 . In 1862 the first teachers of the congregation of the Sisters of St. Maria Magdalena Postel and founded the first settlement of this order in Germany and its seat there until the division of Germany. In the following years, both a kindergarten and a teacher training college were set up.
The first difficulties arose in the years of the Kulturkampf from 1877 to 1890. During this period the sisters had to leave Germany. Only in 1910 was a women's school established again.
During the time of National Socialism , all educational activities were stopped. It was not until the end of 1945 that school lessons began again. However, in 1953 the authorities of the GDR , which had been founded four years earlier, again denied the ability to teach. As a result, the educational activity at the mountain school was limited to “domestic training” for women without any state recognition.
At the beginning of 1990, Bishop Joachim Wanke commissioned the establishment of the grammar school. Even before the GDR joined the Federal Republic of Germany on October 3, 1990, the GDR Ministry of Education and Science granted the state approval. On September 1, 1991, classes at the grammar school began. In 1996 the first students passed their Abitur at the mountain school. A vocational school was also set up.
