equal at the center of training.

December 2014 the academy was awarded the title "Fairtrade School". So far, no other training center for educators in Bavaria has received this designation.

history

The beginnings of today's specialist academy for social education in Dillingen go back to 1913; on May 16, the order of the Dillinger Franciscan Sisters launched a kindergarten teacher training course . The founding of one's own training center was the order of the day, especially since general regulations on the establishment and operation of child care institutions had already come into force in the Kingdom of Bavaria in 1910 . According to this, the heads of larger institutions should in future have attended a corresponding technical school and have provided evidence of their ability by successfully passing an examination. At that time, many untrained women religious in Dillingen directed a considerable number of institutions for public education for young children. This included infant care centers or schools for small children (so the contemporary names) and kindergartens.

Teaching course 1928

The opening of the 10-month course, attended by four seminarians, was linked to numerous conditions. Lesson tables, examination regulations, statutes, teaching programs and pre-trained teaching nurses with teacher and kindergarten teacher training had to be available. At that time only young girls ( talented elementary school students ) who committed themselves in writing to join the order of the Dillinger Franciscan Sisters, founded in 1241, were accepted. The the training course underlying standard curriculum put the necessary subjects, oriented to the Föbelpädagogik, solid: Froebel's educational theory, theory and practice of Froebel employment and education resources and organization of the kindergarten, mathematical morphology (in their relationship to the Froebel employment and educational materials), health studies, natural history (including instructions for caring for animals and plants), gymnastics, drawing, singing and music, essay and lecture exercises and finally, as one of the most important subjects, religion.

In 1929 the training was increased to two years, as the convent candidates were subsequently trained to be kindergarten teachers and after-school care workers and the seminar was about to be officially recognized. September 16, 1930 to July 12, 1931, an additional refresher course for standing in practice but untrained found the seminar educational sisters instead. 12 Franciscans and one sister from another order completed this. The headmistress, Sr. M. Siena Heidel, wrote about the follow-up training in her annual report to the government of Swabia and Neuburg, Chamber of the Interior :

The nurses and teachers attached great importance to not only presenting the sisters, but also developing the lesson goal with them. The sisters are at work and every teacher knows how extraordinarily enriching the lessons are for everyone when the students bring in their ideas; and these are experiences that have been gained in practical work. Certainly some sisters were unfamiliar with this, and many had to overcome their great shyness. Nor should it be hidden from the fact that the previous level of previous training caused some difficulties for some sisters and teachers at the beginning .

In 1931, the Bavarian State Ministry for Education and Culture issued guidelines on the preliminary education and training of kindergarten teachers, on the basis of which the Dillingen Franciscan Sisters 'kindergarten teachers' seminar , which is now called itself , received state recognition on October 20, 1931.

With the beginning of the Nazi era , the training center had to adapt more and more to the new ideology. According to the decree of the Reich Minister of the Interior, the seminarians were to be trained in the National Socialist spirit to serve the people and the state . It can only be speculated to what extent the teaching nuns succeeded in imparting teaching content that deviated from the Nazi doctrine and was based on a Christian / Franciscan understanding. The community of the monastery and its specific life context may have provided the framework for this, rather than the prescribed teaching. A novelty for the training center was the assumption of psychology and pedagogy classes by Sr. M. Reginbalda Schuster in 1936. She was the first female lecturer with a doctorate. Aloys Fischer had obtained a doctorate degree from Aloys Fischer with a thesis on “The conception of childlike thinking in Piaget's psychology”.

While the girls' college of the Dillingen Franciscan Sisters had to cease operations immediately, the kindergarten teachers' seminar still had a grace period until 1941, as the newly founded NSV kindergarten teachers' seminar in Friedberg near Augsburg could not send out as many kindergarten teachers as there were needed in the NSV kindergartens. From the school year 1941/42 onwards, new admissions were no longer allowed and the seminar had to close its doors on March 31, 1941. An attempt to object by the headmistress at the time was unsuccessful.

After the break enforced by the Nazis, the Dillingen Franciscan Sisters resumed school operations in 1945 after checking the school and the registered nurses. In six-week rapid training courses and semi-annual special courses (especially religious sisters) were trained to become kindergarten teachers and after-school care workers. The headmistress reported briefly and succinctly to the office of the Bavarian State Association of Catholic Day Care Centers in Germany (23 February 1948):

At the beginning of February a follow-up training course for 8 religious sisters with a state final examination was completed in our technical school. All participants passed the state examination and were dismissed as recognized kindergarten teachers ... Filled with gratitude and full of suggestions, the nuns said goodbye to this first course in order to devote themselves to their childcare and education work at their old or new workplace with in-depth knowledge and new dedication .

On September 1, 1948, after intensive negotiations with the Office of Military Government for the administrative district of Swabia , the compulsory two-year training program for monastery women and candidates could finally begin.

In 1952 the seminar was also opened to non-monastic applicants. This was associated with a huge increase in the number of trainees. Until then, an average of six to ten convent candidates per course had attended the school, followed by around 20 students in one class.

In 1967, by resolution of the Conference of Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs, training for the socio-educational professions was reorganized. Accordingly, the training of kindergarten teachers, after- school care workers and home educators should take place in technical schools for social pedagogy . According to a ministerial resolution of September 11, 1968, the Dillingen Franciscan Sisters 'Kindergarten Teachers' Seminar was given the status of a technical school for social education . A three-year training - two years of theory and one year of practice - entitles you to use the professional qualification of state-recognized educator .

In the course of the educational policy discussion of the 1970s, a new upgrade took place. The College of Social Dillinger Franciscans , which started in 1971 and male applicants, was called from 1973 Academy for Social Dillinger Franciscan . Sr. M. Vera Fischer , trained at the Catholic University of Applied Sciences in Munich , took over the management of the training center in the 1975/1976 school year (initially provisionally), which she held for 35 years.

At the beginning of January 2000, the Provincialate of the Dillinger Franciscan Sisters handed over the Dillinger Franciscan Sisters' Academy for Social Pedagogy to the Schulwerk of the Diocese of Augsburg (founded in 1975 by the Augsburg Bishop Josef Stimpfle ). The new Täger considered merging the school with the Maria Stern Nördlingen Academy for Social Pedagogy and relocating it to the nearby Maria Medingen monastery , since the secondary school there had been closed and there were enough rooms available. But this danger could be averted through vigorous intervention by persons responsible for educational policy.

In 2001 the social pedagogical seminar began for the first time with the option of acquiring the state-certified nanny qualification after 2 years . In the 2003/2004 school year, curative educator Werner Eitle took over the deputy school management and finally on August 1, 2010, the management of the training center. An 87-year-old monastic tradition came to an end; For the first time, responsibility for the Dillinger Fachakademie passed into both secular and male hands.

On May 11, 2013, the Specialized Academy for Social Pedagogy celebrated its 100th anniversary in the presence of Auxiliary Bishop Anton Losinger , who held the festive service in St. Peter's Basilica . Well over 600 former students and many former teachers accepted the invitation to the "birthday party". As the first state-recognized Catholic college for social education in Bavaria, the training facility was awarded the seal of approval of the Kneipp Association on Friday, March 31, 2017.
