The Don Bosco School in Rostock is a Catholic school sponsored by the Bernostiftung - Catholic Foundation for Schools and Education in Mecklenburg and Schleswig-Holstein. Consisting of a primary school with after-school care and a secondary regional school and high school branch, it is a state-recognized substitute school. This status gives the school all the rights and obligations of a state school.
The school, founded in 1929, was closed under the National Socialists in 1938. The primary school was reopened in 1998, the secondary school in 2005.
The life of Don Bosco
Giovanni (Johannes) Bosco was born on August 16, 1815 in Becchi, 30 kilometers east of Turin / Italy. Although he grew up in difficult conditions, he was characterized by hope and confidence, strength and daring. After Giovanni Bosco was ordained a priest on June 5, 1841, he looked after the children and young people living on the streets in Turin. Against diverse opposition, he built a first youth village in 1846, in which 700 neglected street children could live and learn. In order to broaden his sphere of activity and to be able to help even more, in 1857 he founded the Congregation of the "Salesians" (Francis de Sales 1567–1622). Don Bosco died in Turin on January 31, 1888. He was canonized on April 1, 1934.
History of the Don Bosco School
The Don Bosco School was the first Catholic school in Rostock; it was founded on October 1, 1929 as a private Catholic elementary school. It has been named after the Catholic priest and educator Don Bosco since it reopened in 1998.
The National Socialist Ministry of Education closed the private school in 1938 under a pretext. A reopening was out of the question during the GDR era. Only in 1998 could a primary school be reopened.
Parents and members of the Catholic Christ Church in Rostock and with the help of the Archbishopric of Schwerin took the initiative. They redesigned a former day-care center building in the southern part of the city to equip it to meet the educational requirements. In 1998 the new elementary school was opened. In 2005 the regional school and grammar school went into operation. Since 2006, the schools have been sponsored by the church foundation under public law, the Bernostiftung.
