Conradinum
The Conradinum was an important secondary school in Jenkau (today in Polish: Jankowo Gdańskie) near Danzig , which was founded by Karl Friedrich Freiherr von Conradi (1742–1798). It existed from 1801 to 1945.
Surname
Baron von Conradi came from a Danzig patrician family. In his will in 1794 he ordered the establishment of the "Von Conradi'schen Provinzial-Schul- und Erziehungs-Institut" in Jenkau, about 10 kilometers southwest of the city on the Danziger Höhe, on the road from Danzig to Berent . As a Conradinum , it was of great importance in the history of German education and in the history of schools in Danzig. The Polish school adopted the name Conradinum in its official name in 1995, thus claiming the tradition of the German school. It has a good reputation in Poland.
Günter Grass , who visited the Conradinum, mentions it in his Danzig trilogy , especially in Katz und Maus (novella) . However, the persons named in connection with the content are purely fictitious.
history
At Michaelmas 1801 Conradi's intentions were implemented in agreement with the Prussian government in Danzig. Two country schools in Nassenhuben and Bankau and the institute in Jenkau , combined with an alumnate (boarding school with some free places), started operations. Reinhold Bernhard Jachmann , the third preacher and principal of the learned school in Marienburg , was won for Jenkau as the first director . He tried to found a school in the spirit of new humanism , but the place was not suitable for that. The Danzig high school prevailed. From 1806 to 1811 Karl Heinrich Pudor was a teacher at the Conradinum.
In the two country schools, Nassenhuben in the Danziger Niederung, Bankau auf der Höhe, “all children from my estates, male and female, and the children from neighboring villages” should have access, according to the will. Next to it stood the provincial school in Jenkau, "which is intended for the training of the young men of the male sex in the country schools I founded and in other schools with their initial knowledge of the past, in such a way that the greater part prepares them to become experienced farmers, school teachers and craftsmen. excellent geniuses, however, are taken so far in their studies that they can either be sent to the academy or to a grammar school. "
Development of the Conradinum:
- 1801–1814: learned school (six-class high school) in Jenkau near Danzig
- 1819–1843: School teacher seminar with an educational institution
- 1843–1879: Higher middle school (seven class) with Latin lessons
- 1879–1900: Real progymnasium (initially seven-class, from 1892 six-class) with Latin lessons
- 1900–1911: Realschule (without Latin); Establishment of a Progymnasium in Langfuhr, ceremonial inauguration of the new Conradinum in Krusestrasse in Danzig-Langfuhr on October 17, 1900
- 1911–1945: Expansion into an upper secondary school with a three-class Progymnasium, three-class preschool and alumni
After the war, the "Liceum Budownictwa Okrętowego" (a shipbuilding school) and later the "Technikum Budowy Okrętów" was set up in the intact building on which the "Conradinum" logo was preserved above the entrance portal. In June 1991 the "XVIII Liceum Ogólnokształcące" (the XVIII general education lyceum) began. In 1995 a new type of school began: the “Liceum Techniczne Nr 3”. The school is now called "Szkoły Okrętowe i Ogólnokształcące Conradinum" (Shipping and General Education School Conradinum).
