education
school
In the district of Neuhausen visited Ernst Adam 1890 to 1895, the business day school . He then attended the royal Luitpold grammar school in Munich, until a serious heart defect made it impossible for him to attend again in 1898. This was followed by an apprenticeship as a banker, which he led to a degree. In 1907 he passed the Abitur as a private student at the Luitpold Gymnasium.
Education
He studied theology in Munich, Freising and Innsbruck . During his three-year stay at the Innsbruck Jesuit Convict, he met fellow students such as Edward Flanagan (founder of Boy's Town in the USA) and Konrad Graf von Preysing (bishop and cardinal).
Priestly life
He was ordained a priest on June 29, 1912. He then became a chaplain.
Youth work
From 1915 he was President of the Catholic youth merchants "Hansa". As the number of apprentices to be supervised grew steadily, it became necessary to split the 400 young people and young men. A youth department was created as well as the first Catholic young men’s association, the Jungmännerring, which Rupert Mayer SJ was to take over from 1919 , with whom Ernst Adam worked for another three years. 1925 founded the Adam "Commercial College", a school that after attending an eight-year elementary school in three years to GCSEs led. From 1930 Adam worked in Italy for health reasons before he returned to Munich in 1935, where he and religious sisters founded the “Leontine Adam family home for students of higher education” in Gern . On May 8, 1945, at the urging of the occupying powers, classes were discontinued, but resumed in February 1946 under the name of the Ernst Adam Private High School, Munich, Gern after a municipal permit was granted .
