history

Extension from 2001

On April 21, 1879, Grand Duke Friedrich Franz II of Mecklenburg-Schwerin founded a Progymnasium in his summer residence . After his death on April 15, 1883, his son Friedrich Franz III. the school named Friderico-Francisceum .

After the classicist playhouse was demolished, the current main building of the school, which was occupied in 1889, was built in its place based on a design by the architect Gotthilf Ludwig Möckel .

In the First World War were six teachers and 111 students.

The first four girls were accepted into the school at Easter 1927. At that time, 216 students were attending the nationwide high school.

In March 1938, the students in the auditorium had to listen to a four-hour radio address by Adolf Hitler about the connection with Austria . About a third of all teachers were members of the NSDAP , the teacher Theodor Klaehn was the local group leader of Doberan. In the Second World War, seven teachers and 165 students died. In May 1945, Director Brandt saved the city of Bad Doberan by walking towards the Soviet troops with a white flag .

In 1947 the grammar school was renamed the Goethe School. The institute building was erected on the school premises with the active support of students and teachers. In the years from 1949 to 1961, numerous teachers and students left the GDR . There were student protests and unapproved political statements in essays after the democratic-socialist movement in the ČSSR was suppressed. Two students were expelled from school. Almost all teachers were members of the SED . In 1979 pupils and teachers founded a school club in a basement room that organized interesting events and encounters. Former students and teachers from West Germany were not invited to the centenary, they held their own celebration in Göttingen . In October 1989, numerous students took part in the prayers for peace in the Doberan Minster . The teaching staff approached the ministry with suggestions for changes to education policy. At the end of 1989 almost all teachers left the SED.

On October 3, 1990, Mayor Jürgensohn spoke to the students and teachers in the auditorium. In 1991 the school was renamed Friderico-Francisceum again. 792 pupils attended the grammar school in the main building (secondary level II) and the adjoining building (secondary level I). They were taught by 53 teachers.

In the summer of 1999, the cornerstone of the extension to the grammar school was laid. Linked to this was the demolition of the institute building. In May 2001 the first lesson took place in the extension building.

The editors of the school newspaper "Stichling" achieved 3rd place in the national school newspaper competition of the federal states in 2011 in the category high schools / comprehensive schools with upper secondary level , and in the school years 2017/2018 and 2016/2018 first place in the state-wide school newspaper competition.

At the beginning of the 2019/2020 school year, the ground floor was partially flooded by the storms prevailing in northern Germany at the time and became unusable. The students used the Bad Doberaner vocational school, the newly constructed building and the top 3 floors for lessons, while the ground floor is still being renovated today.

Library

The Friderico-Francisceum, along with the Richard-Wossidlo-Gymnasium in Waren (Müritz), is the only grammar school in Mecklenburg that has been able to keep its historical grammar school library with old stock on the spot. Since it was founded in 1879, it had a library that contained around 700 volumes in 1885 and 3,056 volumes in 1909. The inventory was based on purchases and gifts from the Grand Duke, the Ministry and other donors. In addition, there were acquisitions from the former Doberan bathing library and deliveries from the Rostock University Library as well as in exchange transactions ( annual reports and school programs ) with other high schools. After the Second World War , literature was taken over from public libraries; the inventory was also expanded through regular purchases, which were also made from the proceeds of sales. The library now comprises around 5,000 volumes, around 40 percent of which can be assigned to the historical holdings.
