The Rabanus-Maurus-Schule , also Domgymnasium Fulda , is an old-language-modern language high school with a humanistic tradition in the city of Fulda .
Since the 2012/13 school year, the school has offered both the eight-year and the nine-year high school education. It is also a school with special musical support and a partner school for competitive sports. It developed from the monastery school founded in 748 and is therefore one of the oldest schools in Germany . It is named after the abbot of the Fulda monastery , Rabanus Maurus , who was a teacher at the monastery school and is also known as præceptor Germaniae (Latin for "teacher of Germania"). One of the most famous students of modern times was the physicist and Nobel Prize winner Ferdinand Braun .
history
In 748 Sturmius founded a monastery school in the Fulda monastery , which later became the cathedral high school. Today's patron saint Rabanus Maurus (780–856) was initially a pupil, later a teacher at the monastery school and from 822–842 abbot. Under his direction, Fulda became an important center of the Carolingian renaissance initiated by Charlemagne . In the course of the Counter Reformation , the school was run as a grammar school by the Jesuits from 1572 . In 1734 Prince Abbot Adolph von Dalberg founded the University of Fulda ( Adolphs University ) and in 1773 a high school was built. After secularization , these educational institutions were dissolved in 1805 by Wilhelm Friedrich von Oranien-Nassau and instead an academic lyceum and grammar school was founded, which was a humanistic grammar school from 1835 . Due to constant changes in political affiliation in the 19th and early 20th centuries, the grammar school was run as an electoral prince in 1835, as a royal from 1866 and as a state in 1918. In 1945 it was named Staatliches Domgymnasium and, since 1948, it was also named Rabanus-Maurus-Schule . In 1968 the school moved from the building of the former University of Fulda in the city center to a new building in today's school district.
