The St. Augustin zu Grimma grammar school is Saxony's only regular grammar school with a boarding school . The educational establishment is one of the most traditional in Central Germany : Founded in 1550 by Duke Moritz von Sachsen as the youngest of the three Saxon princely schools , it was almost four centuries prior to university education for the civil servants and theologians in Electoral Saxony and Central Germany, mostly for studying at Leucorea or the University of Leipzig . The three princely schools are the oldest state schools in Germany.

St. Augustin is a grammar school with in-depth language training (according to § 4 of the school regulations for grammar schools Abitur exam - SOGYA ). It offered in-depth training in English from grade 5 for the first time from the 2014/2015 school year. For a long time, the grammar school offered in - depth language training with Latin as a second foreign language as a traditional unique selling point - for the last time from grade 5 in the school year 2010/2011. The students of this Latin special class passed their Abitur in June 2018, five of them with a grade point average of 1.0 .

The main school building, known as the main building or Moldanum , was inaugurated in 1891 by Albert von Sachsen , who had significantly promoted the new building. The four school buildings, the main building, the Seume building, the old seminar and the Horst Naumann building, belong to Grimmas Gymnasium (as of 2018).

present

The St. Augustin zu Grimma grammar school includes the main building (the Moldanum , the original house in Klosterstrasse for grades 8-12), the Seume house (the former Seume grammar school for grades 5-7), since 2016 the Headquarters neighboring building "Altes Seminar" and since 2017 the auxiliary building of the Seumehaus (the Naumann House), which is connected to the Seumehaus by a glass building.

Since 2006, the St. Augustin grammar school has been the only remaining regular grammar school in the greater Grimma area - after the dissolution of the Sophien grammar school in Colditz and the Friedrich Schiller grammar school in Bad Lausick and after merging with the Johann Gottfried Seume grammar school. The headmaster is Wolf-Dieter Goecke.

Current figures and information about the grammar school can be found online in the Saxon school database .

The Augustiner Blätter yearbook , which is published every autumn, is a continuous chronicle for the current school year with overviews of classes, students, teachers and employees as well as a diverse look back at the school year that has ended with its school, cultural and sporting highlights .

Located directly on the bank of the Mulde , the main building of the grammar school (Moldanum) is repeatedly affected by flooding, including the August flood on August 13, 2002. The structural damage at that time amounted to 6.7 million euros; In addition, there was damage to school equipment (furniture, teaching materials, etc.) of 1.2 million euros. Another flood occurred during the flood of the century in 2013 . Thanks to numerous helpers, donations and funding, the consequences of the water damage were gradually eliminated.

Since the floods between 2002 and 2017, the city of Grimma has provided almost 15 million euros with the help of funds for work on the main building , the Seume building and the Altes Seminar building . In July 2019, the city of Grimma paid back 265,000 euros as a precautionary measure, which, according to the Saxon Aufbaubank, may not have been used in accordance with the regulations.

Student theater, theater ring, Seume hike

Theatrical performances by the students have been part of the school tradition for many decades. For example, at the former Seume-Gymnasium Grimma (merged with St. Augustin in 2006), the theater group Shakespeare's Heirs was active for years under the direction of teacher Jens Richter . The piece Norway.today was performed in November 2008 and was awarded at a competition in Leipzig. The theater group Die Ponys has been developing the following performances since 2009 : The Robber Project in 2010 , The Seagull in 2011 , A Midsummer Night's Dream on Long Island in 2012 and Romeo & Juliet - unchained from July 3rd to 5th, 2014 .

Since 1960 there has been a group subscription for theater visits in Leipzig without interruption. 20 to 40 participants in this theater ring regularly travel to the trade fair city to experience theater performances that are prepared for and / or followed up on; The theater representative is the Latin teacher Ulrike Weigelt.

With reference to Johann Gottfried Seume , who enjoyed running and was associated with Grimma, the Seume hike to Leipzig took place for many years - also known casually in Saxon as "Seume-Latsch" . The most recent Seume hikes were on April 16, 2010, October 29, 2010, May 25, 2012, May 3, 2013 and May 9, 2014.

School bike tour Grimma – Prague – Grimma

Since 1976 there have been annual school bike tours from Grimma to Prague and back. The sporting and tourist event is one of the high school's traditions: around 20 bicycle enthusiasts each take part in the tour to the Czech capital initiated by teacher Volker Beyrich . In July 2015 the tour took place for the 40th time: 17 pupils from eighth to twelfth grade levels drove a total of 696 kilometers with two teachers; the route also ran through Poland for the first time. In 2018 there was the 43rd Prague bike tour with a record participation of 38 cyclists and two companions.

Augustinian Association

The Augustiner Association is the support association for the St. Augustin High School. It supports its further profiling in a variety of ways. It promotes education and training at the grammar school as well as in the associated boarding school and raises funds for this. The Augustiner Association upholds the tradition of the St. Augustin High School and maintains the bond between former students, parents, friends and sponsors of the school. He supports the Augustiner Foundation Grimma. The club's chairman is Klaus-Dieter Tschiche .

Augustinian concerts

The Augustiner Association organizes the Augustiner Concerts three times a year , for which the musician Stephan König from Leipzig bears the musical responsibility. The venue for the most sold-out evenings is the high school auditorium. On September 14, 2018, the singer Uschi Brüning performed at the 32nd Augustiner concert - accompanied by Stephan König .

Facade renovation

In July 2017, the City Council of Grimma provided the amount of 540,000 euros for the further renovation of the partly heavily weathered facade in Klosterstrasse and in the inner courtyard. The Augustiner Association contributed 50,000 euros, with which the windows are to be renovated in accordance with monument protection. The planning service for the conservation and renovation of the facade was entrusted to the architecture and statics office Beyer-Lätzsch from Grimma, the volume of which is 61,400 euros.

Restoration in the former rector's apartment

Until 2016, the grammar school housed the archives of the Fürstenschüler Foundation in the original principal's apartment. After the opening of the renovated, neighboring “Old Seminar”, the archive moved there. Thanks to the support of the Ostdeutsche Sparkassenstiftung and Sparkasse Muldental, it is now possible to restore a room in this former apartment true to the original. On June 20, 2017, District Administrator Henry Graichen handed over the letter of acceptance to Klaus-Dieter Tschiche. This will make it possible in future to receive the guests of the Augustinian Association and the school management in an architecturally unique atmosphere.

New project 2019

In the future, the Augustinian Association wants to implement the renovation of the historic drawing room as a new goal.

history

short version

The St. Augustin zu Grimma grammar school, founded in 1550, is the most traditional school in the Leipzig area. The educational establishment was a pillar of the Reformation for 400 years - many of its high school graduates became Protestant pastors and scholars. In September 2015 the former Princely and State School Grimma celebrated its 465th birthday. The current building in neo-renaissance style was inaugurated as a new school building in 1891 by King Albert of Saxony ; his school courtyard is probably one of the most beautiful schoolyards in Germany.

The grammar school today consists of the main building - also called the Moldanum - and the Seume house. Wolf-Dieter Goecke is the head of the only regular high school in the old district of Grimma, after the high schools in Colditz and Bad Lausick were dissolved in 2006 and Grimmas Seume-Gymnasium and St. Augustin merged.

It is Elector Moritz von Sachsen to whom Grimma owes the school. In 1550 he had his third state school set up in the abandoned monastery - just as before in Meißen and near Naumburg . His goal were intelligent and reliable brain workers for the Protestant church and its administration. There, gifted boys from all walks of life received a thorough school education, Protestant faith and a solid set of values, mostly through vacancies. The place at the school also included the bed in the alumni (which continues as a modern boarding school), where the students educated each other. They learned Latin and ancient Greek, explored antiquity and its humanistic ideals. After studying at university, many became leaders and thinkers in the state, religion and society - as theologians, teachers, professors, scientists and politicians.

The basic concept - always adapted to the zeitgeist with a delay - worked for almost 400 years. From 1936 National Socialist ideology destroyed school ideals. After 1945, the new rulers laid their socialist foundations, tolerated iconoclasms - such as the liquidation and, in some cases, looting of the extensive, valuable school library. In 1945 the gender monopoly fell - currently more girls than boys are studying at grammar school. From 1990 teachers and pupils remembered their school legacy together: Since 1992 the school has been called "St. Augustin zu Grimma High School" . However, the plan to become a state school again, like the two school sisters St. Afra in Meißen and Schulpforta in Saxony-Anhalt, failed.

The list of well-known people who went in and out there is extensive: it ranges from hymn poet Paul Gerhardt (1607–1676) to Carmen Nebel , from the politician and Dresden's mayor Wilhelm Külz (1875–1948), to ex-District Administrator Gerhard Gey to Petra Köpping and Knut Löschke . The Thomaner also lived there from December 5, 1943 until the end of the war in 1945, after their alumni was damaged in the hail of bombs in Leipzig - Reiner Süß (1930–2015), who describes his time in Grimma in his autobiography , was one of them . Since March 2015, the grammar school has had the title "School without Racism - School with Courage". St. Augustin zu Grimma is one of the best high schools in Saxony - with an excellent reputation beyond that.

To the historical names

When the monasteries emptied in the wake of the Reformation, the question arose of what should be done with the buildings and the considerable property. Duke Moritz von Sachsen decided to set up schools in three of these monasteries. This created schools that were run by the sovereign, i.e. state schools.

This is where the historical names of these schools come from - they were electoral schools, i.e. “ princely schools ”. In addition, they were schools in or for the ruler's sphere of influence, i.e. for the electorate, for the kingdom (from 1806), for the Free State of Saxony (from 1919) - in short for the "Land", from which the name " Landesschulen " resulted .

introduction

From the pedagogue Friedrich Paulsen comes the much discussed thesis that the three Saxon princely schools had been the most efficient university preparatory institutions in the Protestant-German-speaking area since 1543.

A wide variety of documents relating to the history of the school, its teachers and students since 1550 and the Grimma monastery church that belonged to it until 1945 can be found in the archives of the Fürstenschüler Foundation , which was set up and expanded by Kurt Schwabe from 1992 to 2010 , and since 2011 by Volker Beyrich and lived in the former principal's apartment in the school building. Since the spring of 2016, the archive has been housed in the attic of the neighboring Altes Seminar building , previously Döringsche's Freihaus .

After Augustinian hermits built a monastery on the Mulde in Grimma from 1287 and left it after the Reformation in 1541, it was largely unused from then on.

Reformation and the Grimma State School

In connection with the Luther Decade and the anniversary “500 years of the Reformation ” in 2017, Volker Beyrich points out that the three princely schools in Schulpforta, Meißen and Grimma had intended “stabilizing effects” on the Reformation, as the text of the deed of foundation shows: The schools should be established "so that in time there might not be a shortage of church servants" . In other words, enough excellently trained state school leavers should be available in good time to study theology - graduates who would later work as pastors in Evangelical Lutheran congregations or hold higher church offices. According to Beyrich's research, 15 of the 25 boys who were admitted to the school in Grimma in the founding year 1550 and for whom the later profession has been handed down, studied theology. Studies of 550 pupils who attended the Grimma State School from 1701 to 1750 showed that more than 40 percent of them later pursued church professions.

The Reformation made the state schools possible in the first place - both in terms of content and material. Conversely, according to Beyrich, the state schools contributed “not insignificantly to the stabilization of the Reformation and the Evangelical Lutheran Church: They also contributed to the strengthening of the Saxon rectory, which over the centuries was not only for the Christian faith and the Evangelical Lutheran Church played a major role, but for the entire cultural development of Saxony. "

16th to 18th century

In 1550, Grimma finally benefited from the fact that 60 kilometers to the west a Catholic bishop wanted differently than the Protestant father of the country: In 1543, Duke Moritz von Sachsen put into practice an advice from Georg von Carlowitz that he had given him in 1537. May 1543 the "New State Order", which laid the permanent foundation for the Princely and State Schools in the region in the Von dreyen new schools section :

In 1550 the third Saxon state school was founded in the former Augustinian hermit monastery in Grimma and also called the Collegium Moldanum . Its first rector was the educator Adam Siber .

Princely School Grimma: The first building until 1820

Between 1622 and 1627 the later Protestant hymn poet Paul Gerhardt attended the Landesschule Grimma and between 1645 and 1650 the philosopher and international lawyer Samuel von Pufendorf was a pupil of the Princely School. The brothers Johann Heinrich and Gottlieb Stöckhardt founded the two main lines of the Stöckhardt family of scholars in Putzkau and Lauterbach around 1690 after their school attendance .

By 1721, the cantor of the Princely School and composer Samuel Jacobi brought together the so-called "Jacobi Collection" in Grimma, which is considered to be one of the most important collections of baroque church music.

A scientific study from 1989 focuses on teaching and learning at this school: The thesis examines the period from 1580 to 1773 from a pedagogical point of view.

19th century

Two new school buildings

In 1820 the old school building was demolished and a new building was erected in the same place, which was inaugurated in 1828. This building was expanded several times during the 19th century, but was no longer sufficient for the increased number of students - for example, 34 free spaces had to be transferred from Schulpforta to Grimma because of the division of Saxony in 1815. Nevertheless, applications for school expansion until 1874 were rejected by the Saxon Ministry of Culture and Public Education for financial reasons. There was only a change of opinion when King Albert came to Grimma and attended the Princely School: He approved the school's building proposals.

For reasons of flood protection, the decision was made in favor of a new building. The master builder Hugo Nauck created the building plans in the neo-renaissance style, a subspecies of historicism . They were passed in September 1886 by the Saxon state parliament. The new building was erected in two stages while the school was still in operation. The foundation stone was laid on June 20, 1887, and the topping-out ceremony for the northern part of the new school building on May 9, 1888. At the end of May 1889, the second, southern construction phase began. Construction work was completed by Easter of 1891. The festive inauguration of the school building, as it still exists today and since then - together with the adjoining monastery church - has been one of the most famous city views of Grimma, was carried out by the Saxon King Albert during the opening ceremonies from 23 to 25 September 1891. Critics said, that this school building had nothing to do with the 16th century (to which it referred) or with regional building traditions.

The building, which was designed by Hugo Nauck and designed by Hugo Nauck, is reminiscent of an angular zero from a bird's eye view and has impressive dimensions:

Length on the street side: 108.5 meters, length on the hollow side: 116.3 meters (due to the risk of flooding, stronger corner fixings on the hollow wing); Width: 58 meters; Height of the street wing: about 16 meters to about 22.5 meters; Height of the other three wings: about 22 meters to - including the jewelry - about 28 meters. The school courtyard - probably one of the most beautiful school courtyards in Germany - is 78.86 meters long and 32 meters wide at its widest point.

From the founding of the school to the end of the 19th century, the State and Princely School in Grimma had attended around 7,500 students.

20th century

After the First World War , the conversion of the conservative Princely and State School into a reform high school with republican characteristics began in 1924 .

The school was brought into line by a decree by the National Socialists in 1936. However, the Nazis' plan to transform the state school into a national political educational institution ( Napola ) failed (as actually happened in Schulpforta in 1935), probably due to the intervention of Rector Georg Fraustadt .

From 1936 the school was called Fürstenschule Grimma - State High School for Boys - at that time the alumnate was inhabited by 144 students.

At the Princely School of Grimma, lessons in Greek were discontinued in 1939. In the school's own publication “Augustiner Blätter” , the following words were given to parents and pupils about the educational policy changes at the grammar school: “The linguistic fork of the 8th grade is the last remnant of the reform grammar school train; with a full three hours of Greek she will bring the old humanistic legacy of the Princely School to an end at Easter. ” These lines from teacher Stephanus, a teacher of ancient languages, shimmered with dismay and regret, as this meant the end of the almost 400-year-old Tradition and thus one of the main roots of this special educational institution.

At the beginning of February 1943, the remaining pupils were called in for the "War Aid Service of German Youth" - on February 25, 1943, regular school operations ended.

Within 380 years - from 1550 to 1930 - around 8,000 students attended the Princely and State School St. Augustin zu Grimma; according to Kurt Schwabe there were around 8,700 students between 1550 and 1945.

On October 1, 1945, school operations were resumed on the orders of the Soviet military administration .

School association and changes to the school name

From September 1946, with the approval of the State Administration of Saxony, the previous State School Grimma and the previous State Oberschule Grimma were combined to form the "State School Grimma (Oberschule)". The educational redesign took place in accordance with the law for the democratization of the German school of 1946; followed by the law on the socialist development of the school system in the German Democratic Republic of December 2, 1959 and the GDR school reform, the former state and princely school in Grimma was finally transformed into a high school with a socialist character.

On November 14, 1949 the initiative was formed at the school in Grimma to rename it the Wilhelm Külz School : Külz went to school there from 1888 and received his Abitur in 1894. On February 11, 1953, the name was changed to Dr. Wilhelm Külz School .

In September 1960, the school's Pedagogical Council unanimously approved the school management's proposal to apply for the name Wilhelm Pieck Oberschule . The secondary school was also converted into an extended secondary school (EOS) in the 1960/61 school year . From October 4, 1974, EOS carried the name Extended High School Ernst Schneller Grimma - probably in connection with the official celebrations for the anniversary "25 years of the GDR" .

Grimma 's honorary citizen Horst Naumann published a chronology of the Extended Oberschule Grimma 1957-1990 - after his retirement from 1991, Naumann worked as a contract teacher at the grammar school and taught Latin.

With the turnaround and peaceful revolution in the GDR , the atmosphere at EOS also changed: In February 1990, the student council started a survey on the school name. The majority of students and teachers supported the abandonment of the name Ernst Schneller, with the result that from September 1990 the name Extended High School was Grimma . On June 11, 1992, the teaching staff agreed on the name St. Augustin High School in Grimma . The grammar school has officially been running this since the 1992–1993 school year.

Madrigal Choir St. Augustin

After the end of the war, Diethard Hellmann began teaching music at the Princely School. Hellmann founded the St. Augustin Madrigal Choir , which demonstrably had a dozen larger gigs in Grimma and the surrounding area in 1946. This madrigal choir lived up to high demands that the Mitteldeutsche Rundfunk AG (MIRAG) recorded its Christmas concert in December 1946 and broadcast it on December 25th and 28th, 1946. The climax and conclusion of Hellmann's engagement at this school was Mozart's Singspiel Bastien und Bastienne in May 1948, then he left Grimma for Leipzig .

School library, music collection, anniversary CD

Title page of a volume from 1722, formerly in the school library, later in the University of Leipzig, today in the library of the University of Pennsylvania

In almost 400 years, an impressive library of around 14,000 volumes had been created at the school by around 1933 - not least thanks to numerous library donations from many graduates and teachers of the Princely School (the former pupil and later archive manager Kurt Schwabe even speaks of 30,000 volumes). However, the prevailing politics at the time ensured that this unique library was forcibly closed within a few decades.

For a better understanding of what is happening in Grimma, a quick turn to Meißen: An order from March 1948 by the Ministry of National Education of the State Administration of Saxony dealt with the library of the Prince and State School St. Afra. It defines the transfer of the extensive holdings to Dresden. When the library was handed over in 1948, around 4400 of the 13,000 remaining books in the school library were left in Meissen according to the takeover protocol. This inventory consisted of objects from the individual fields of knowledge as well as 800 volumes of special Afran literature. There is no information about the whereabouts of these books. It seems that the library of the Landesschule Grimma was also arranged in a similar arrangement.

The trigger for the dissolution of the library was an order of the GDR Ministry for Public Education from 1960/1961 that determined the transfer of historical high school libraries to academic libraries (in today's Saxony only the library at Geschwister-Scholl-Gymnasium Freiberg survived this order). As a result, the Saxon State Library in Dresden operated since the end of 1961 the liquidation of the former prince school library and received around 11,000 volumes, the titles of which were not recorded in a handover / takeover list. Further books went to the Grimma District Museum and the University of Leipzig . Between 1,000 and 3,000 books are said to have remained in the subject-related reference libraries of the specialist teachers there. At least at the University of Leipzig, volumes were sorted out and found in the antiquarian bookshop; one volume is in the University of Pennsylvania library today .

As meaningful evidence of 300 years of academic and academic music cultivation, the holdings of the Princely School Library in Grimma included around 1,300 musical manuscripts and prints - the associated services and concerts took place regularly in the adjacent Grimma monastery church . They can be found today in the Dresden State Library . The completeness of this collection of music is important: it includes motets from 1550, individual manuscripts such as sacred concerts and early cantatas, as well as copies of church music from the Viennese classical period, oratorios and central German church music from the 18th and 19th centuries. The important Princely School Cantors and composers represented in these music manuscripts include Tobias Petermann , Samuel Jacobi , Johann Sigismund Opitz , Johann Gottfried Reichard and Heinrich Ludwig Hartmann . The complete catalog was created by the musicological association “Repertoire International des Sources Musicales”, RISM branch in Dresden - it is available in book form in the archives of the Fürstenschüler Foundation in Grimma and an electronic version is available online at Qucosa .

In 2000 a CD with classical music was released, which was dedicated to the 450 years anniversary of the State and Princely School St. Augustin . The special feature of this musical congratulation is that almost all of the pieces of music documented there had a graduate, cantor or teacher from St. Augustin involved - either as a composer, lyricist or interpreting musician ( Paul Gerhardt , Samuel Jacobi, Christian August Jacobi , Heinrich Gottfried Reichard , Sigfrid Karg-Elert , Diethard Hellmann , Gottfried Fischer ).

Tradition and preservation of history

Motto

The school has the motto

School motto St. Augustin
PIETATI VIRTUTI DOCTRINAE

The three Latin words for fear of God, virtue and learning are greeted in gold-colored letters above the entrance portal in the courtyard of the school. Rector Schnelle accepted it on June 20, 1887 when the foundation stone was laid for today's school building. It is their first documented mention.

Boards of honor, statues, portraits

Honorary bust for Martin Luther in the St. Augustin Grimma grammar school (main entrance)

In the passage of the main portal of the main building, plaques of honor keep the memory of the following personalities connected to the school history alive:

Martin Hayneccius , Samuel von Pufendorf , Christian Gottlob Lorenz , Christian Gottfried Körner , Richard von Volkmann , Wilhelm Külz , Otto Leonhard Heubner , Ernst Florens Friedrich Chladni , Nikolaus Krell , Paul Gerhardt , Gustav Friedrich Dinter , Johann Georg Theodor Grasse and Eduard Friedrich Poeppig .

There, two historical busts - with the image of Martin Luther and Paul Gerhardt - greet those passing by.

Statues in the inner courtyard commemorate the school's founder, Moritz von Sachsen (1550) and King Albert, who initiated the construction of today's school building and inaugurated it in 1891. Two memorial stones are dedicated to schoolchildren who died in the world wars.

In the auditorium of the St. Augustin High School in Grimma there are eleven historical oil paintings showing the school founder Moritz von Sachsen and ten rectors of the Princely School Grimma: Adam Siber , Johannes Merck , August Weichert , Noa Hofmann , Immanuel Schwarz , Johann Heinrich Mücke , Georg Ermel , Friedrich Wilhelm Sturz , August Schumacher and Johann Tobias Krebs .

Seume painting

There has been a large-format portrait of Johann Gottfried Seume (1.75 m × 1.70 m) in the Seume-Haus am Schwanenteich since 1989 . The artist Günter Ketelhut (1926–2019), who lives in Bahren, created it on behalf of the Seume Club in Grimma at the time. The colorful and allusive painting (oil on hardboard) was created during the decline phase of the GDR and was placed in the auditorium. Currently (2017) the work of art is denied the appropriate reception.

2017: St. Augustin as a church conference site

The St. Augustin high school served as a conference venue and hostel for the participants of the full conference of the denominational Evangelical Lutheran Conference in Germany from June 29 to July 2, 2017 - they celebrated their final service on July 2 in the neighboring monastery church of Grimma .

2015: Ringing of the Augustinian bell, from 1925 to 1952 the school bell

The school bell of the Fürstenschule Grimma fell victim to the First World War as a metal donation by the German people . The bell from the neighboring monastery church - also known as the Augustinian bell - from 1491 (it is one of the oldest bells still standing in and around Grimma) took over its tasks: At the instigation of Rector Fraustadt, with the approval of the responsible ministry in Dresden and With the approval of the regional church inspection, the Augustinian bell was removed from the roof turret of the monastery church on August 27, 1925 and installed on the school roof of the hollow wing of the Princely School. It sounded for the first time at the school festival on September 14, 1925. From now on, the sound of the bells regulated the daily routine for the students: the bell rang at 6 a.m. to wake up, 12 noon, 6.30 p.m. and 8.30 p.m. to end the day. It was also heard on Sundays at 9 a.m. for the main service in the monastery church. There are various traditions about whether and how the bell continued to serve school purposes after the Second World War . On February 8, 1952, the bell ritual was officially abolished - from then on the school day was exclusively regulated by the electric break bell that had been in use for many years and was used in parallel.

In 1974 the bell was dismantled and taken to the city archives, in 1989 to the district museum, where it was part of the inventory until 1993. In 1993 the church roof was re-roofed, and the old Augustinian bell was hung back on the roof turret by the Schnabel company from Naunhof . According to information from this company from January 2014, the bell was installed with an electric bell device. Nevertheless, until February 2014 the general opinion was that the bell could not sound because it was assembled without a clapper (according to a newspaper report from January 9, 1995). Since then the bell has been silent.

In February 2014, a trained teacher climbed to the bell with the help of the caretaker from St. Augustin - and he succeeded in photo proof from a lofty height: The Augustinian bell has its clapper. It has now also become known that after the flood in 2002 there was a ringing test of the bell and that it had worked perfectly. Thus, after decades of silence, the historical bell can ring at suitable school and city events. This officially happened again for the first time after a 63-year break at the 2015 Grimmas Festival of the Reformation on August 30, 2015.

1997: High school as a “crime scene” setting

1997 was highly controversial in high school with the title "Prince student" for her charisma 387th episode of the ARD - crime series "Tatort" rotated.

1943–1945: The Thomaner in the Princely School

During the Allied bombing raids on Leipzig on December 4, 1943, the alumni of the St. Thomas Choir in Hillerstraße was also badly damaged: a bomb hit made it impossible to live in; the Thomaner needed a new, safe home at short notice. Already on the following day - on Sunday, December 5th, 1943 - Cantor Günther Ramin and his choir found accommodation in the Mulde city: The Princely School at Grimma became alternative quarters - ultimately for 18 months. The Thomaner from Grimma - among them Reiner Süß , who talks about it in his autobiography - traveled regularly to Leipzig for their motet performances and to numerous appearances in many places in Germany.

On December 18, 1993, the Thomaner sang again in the Frauenkirche Grimma - with Bach's Christmas Oratorio they remembered their concert in the same church with the same musical work exactly 50 years ago and the year and a half when the Mulde town with its Princely School was home to the Thomaner was.

1942: From boys' alumni to boarding school for schoolchildren

As of April 14, 1942, due to the war, the Princely School's alumni also had to accept students from the LbA teacher training institute . This ended its almost 400-year-old tradition as a boarding school for boys - a paradigm shift occurred . Since then, the school living and learning area has been available to both boys and girls alike.

Up to this point in time, the alumnate had 144 places exclusively for boys. There were eight study halls that have had Saxon homeland-related names since the rector of Fraustadt: six halls with 18 study places each, one with 12 and one with 24. The alumni were accommodated in two dormitories with around 60 and around 90 beds. There were no women at the school or in the alumni; there were only male teachers and supervisors. Almost all of the students lived in the alumnate; the few exceptions were at home as so-called “extraneers” with teachers belonging to the school in Grimma. Currently (2014) around 50 pupils live in the boarding school, who either attend high school or other school or professional educational institutions in Grimma.

1850: "... that they know how to be small with honor"

To celebrate the 300th anniversary of the foundation in 1850, Ephraim Oskar Taube , who had attended the state school from 1842 to 1848 and became a judge at the Reichsgericht Leipzig in 1880 , spoke on behalf of the youngest graduates at the festive assembly. The then law student in Leipzig ended his speech with the following words, which were also intended as indirect consolation for the countless less well-known and less famous graduates of the Grimma State School at the time and the following:

"But to you, oh alma mater, mother of these happy but hungry crowds, I still call out to you:" Since, despite your goodwill, it is impossible for you to give birth to so many great men, then hail if you raise your sons in such a way that they too Honoring to know how to be small. ""

Trivia

Grimma Augustiner drops with a picture (from around 1900) of the monastery church and the state and princely school in Grimma

Under the name of a local spirits manufacturer founded in 1920, a herbal liqueur of the brand "Grimmaer Augustiner Drops" is still produced, on whose historical label is advertised with a contemporary image of the Grimma monastery church and the Grimma State and Princely School from around 1900.

This “Saxon state and princely school model” proved to be so successful that it soon found imitators elsewhere: Following the example of these three schools, the Schwerin Princely School , founded in 1553 by Duke Johann Albrecht I , and the Heilsbronn Princely School in 1582, emerged founded by Margrave Georg Friedrich on the site of a monastery closed in 1578, the Joachimsthalsche Gymnasium , founded in 1607 in Joachimsthal in Brandenburg under Elector Joachim Friedrich and the Fürstenschule Neustadt (Hochfürstlich Brandenburgisch-Culmbachische Teutsche and Latin City School).
