The Clemens-Hofbauer-Kolleg , usually simply called Clementinum , existed under this name from 1966 to 1997 in Bad Driburg (East Westphalia). It emerged from the old-language advanced high school Clementinum (1946–1966), which was converted into a college school in 1966 as part of the North Rhine-Westphalian school reform. The Clemens-Hofbauer-Kolleg was a state-recognized ancient language institute for obtaining university entrance qualifications . Here applicants who had completed vocational training could achieve the Abitur on the second educational path in four years in order to become a priest or another (church) profession as so-called "late callers" . Latin and Greek were central subjects. The late-career seminar Studienheim St. Klemens , in which the pupils were accommodated in an internatial manner, was connected as a place of residence and living . Both institutions were supported by the Clemens-Hofbauer-Aid for Priestly Professions eV in Bad Driburg , which today still supports the Clementinum Paderborn .
history
The history of the Clementinum begins as early as 1922, when the priest Bernhard Zimmermann , himself a late-calling, founded the school with an attached boarding school as "St. Klemens Study Home" in Warstein- Belecke and placed it under the patronage of St. Clemens Maria Hofbauer , who also Was later called. At that time, the Clementinum was the first institution of the second educational path in the entire German-speaking area and the first German late career seminar ! In 1928 Zimmermann relocated his founding to his hometown Bad Driburg , because in 1925 he was able to acquire and build on a plot of land for the facility, which now had 190 students, at a reasonable price. The architect of the new student residence was Josef Ferber . In 1932 the school received its first state approval. During the starvation period after the Second World War, Max Planck and his wife stayed from October 31 to November 26, 1946, as did Otto Hahn and his wife from June 17 to 26, 1947 and Werner Heisenberg and his wife from June 15 to 24. September 1948, there. On September 11, 1946 there was renamed the Max Planck Society for the British Zone of Occupation from the Kaiser Wilhelm Society under Otto Hahn's leadership . The Michaelheim was added from 1955 to 1956 according to plans by the architect Josef Lucas.
Since there are now secondary schools in almost every major city, the Clemens-Hofbauer-Kolleg was dissolved on November 30, 1997 due to the declining student numbers. The adjoining residential and study home St. Klemens still existed in Paderborn as Clementinum Paderborn . Its residents now visited the Westfalenkolleg Paderborn , which is sponsored by the state of North Rhine-Westphalia . The building is now used as refugee accommodation.
