The Adolfinum grammar school is the local grammar school in Bückeburg .
history
The grammar school was founded in 1614 as a Latin school. The first building of the Latin school was on Schulstrasse, which was then fundamentally renovated after the grammar school moved and is now used as Bückeburg's city library . The Adolfinum Gymnasium was exclusively a boys' school at the time.
The new school was built in the Ulmenallee from 1874 to 1876 and was named "Adolfinum" after the then ruling Prince Adolf I Georg von Schaumburg-Lippe . It was a red brick building in the style of the Italian Renaissance. The building was temporarily used by the British military after the Second World War and the school had to be relocated to other facilities. In spite of everything, this building became too small in terms of its space and then became a primary school ( primary school at Harrl ) after the new high school was built in the Hofwiesen .
today
The current building was built in the 1970s and was expanded with a modern extension in 2004/2005 as part of the school reform in Lower Saxony. From July 2011 a new extension was built. 80 teachers (including 5 trainee teachers) currently teach 1244 students at the Adolfinum.
particularities
The Adolfinum grammar school has an extraordinary palaeontological collection. This large collection is largely thanks to Professor Max Ballerstedt (1857–1945), after whom it was named. He was mainly busy looking for fossils on the Harrl and the surroundings of Bückeburg. He left every found item to the school. However, many finds were transferred to the Geological-Paleontological Institute of the University of Göttingen . So among other things also some valuable finds like the body pieces found in Harrl of the so-called "Bückeburger Saurier" (then called Pholidosaurus schaumburgensis, which turned out to be a crocodile), of which a copy can be admired in Bückeburg today, and only one The skeleton of the Stenopelix valdensis was found . Both are around 150 million years old. Other finds such as B. the remains of prehistoric crocodiles and fish, bones and teeth of a mammoth , the woolly rhinoceros , the aurochs and other finds are also there.
