history

Today's Friedrich-Ludwig-Jahn-Gymnasium was founded in 1561 as Schola Senatoria (council school) by combining the three local trivial schools and housed in a wing of the "Gray Monastery" - that was the name of the Franciscan monastery in Greifswald, which was abandoned after the Reformation . During Lucas Tacke's rectorate from 1582 to 1612, the number of students rose to 300. In the Thirty Years' War and the subsequent conflicts in Swedish Pomerania , the number of pupils fell sharply in the 17th century.

In 1726, after negotiations between general superintendent Albrecht Joachim von Krakevitz and the council and clergy, new school regulations were issued based on the theses of the Halle pedagogue August Hermann Francke . However, the decline of the school continued. The number of students decreased to 16 in the second half of the 18th century. The dilapidated school building could only be repaired temporarily. After the school under Theophilus Coelestinus Piper had reached its lowest point in 1783, his successor Heinrich Ehrenfried Warnekros succeeded in implementing a fundamental reform of the school. With the support of the government in Stralsund and the citizenship, a civic educational institution was created with the conversion into a “scholarly and German school”. Classes in ancient languages were reduced in favor of mathematics, German, history and natural sciences . A new school building was built on the foundation walls of the former monastery church based on designs by the university drawing teacher Johann Gottfried Quistorp and inaugurated in 1799. Today the picture gallery of the Pomeranian State Museum is located here . In 1800 the school had 101 students again.

With the new curriculum introduced by the rector Christian Wilhelm Ahlwardt in 1816 after the transition from Swedish Pomerania to Prussia , the institution acquired the character of a learned school. Around 1820 the school was converted into a grammar school. In 1848 a real department was opened. Due to the growing number of students, the current building on the Wall was moved into in 1870. In 1913 the grammar school passed from municipal to Prussian administration and was later included in the group of 17 educational institutions of particular importance to the state. Since 1937 the grammar school was called " Friedrich-Ludwig-Jahn -Schule". In 1947 the grammar school was converted into an extended high school and the lyceum was added , and co-education was introduced in 1948 .
