The Alexandrinum grammar school is one of four grammar schools in Coburg . It was founded in 1852 by Caroline Stößel and consists of a scientific and technological branch, a social science branch and a modern language branch (language sequence English-Latin-French).
Since 2011, following the introduction of the eight-year grammar school, the school has included grades 5 to 12. Latin and French can be chosen as the second foreign language.
In the 2019/20 school year, around 560 pupils visited the Alexandrinum, who come from the city of Coburg itself, but also from the Coburg district and beyond. Around 60 teachers work at the grammar school.
The buildings of the Alexandrinum, in which only girls were taught before the introduction of co-education in the 1980s, are located on Glockenberg in the immediate vicinity of the Ernestinum grammar school , which used to be an all- boys school . As part of the expansion measures, a cafeteria and multi-purpose building directly connected to the latter was created, which has been used jointly since October 2007.
history
At the beginning of 1852, Miss Caroline Stößel informed interested parents in a circular that they wanted to found a higher education institution for girls in Coburg. A higher school for boys had previously been opened by the city in 1848, which would later become the Ernestinum . On May 6, 1852, the privately run Alexandrine School opened. Duchess Alexandrine , wife of Duke Ernst II , took over the protectorate of the secondary school for girls , who also provided financial support in the following years. The property at Webergasse 34 first served as the schoolhouse, followed by the corner house on Große and Kleine Johannisgasse in 1853 and the mint master's house on Ketschengasse in the same year . After eleven years, the Alexandrin School moved again to Große Johannisgasse for three years before returning to the Mint Master's House in 1867.
From September 1, 1853, the school had a statute recognized by the State Ministry and a few years later it was allowed to attend schoolgirls from 6 to 15 years of age. On October 11, 1900, Duchess Alexandrine founded the Alexandrine Foundation as the new sponsor of the school and endowed it with a capital of 100,000 marks. After the city made a plot of land available for its own school building free of charge at the northern end of the Salvatorfriedhof, this was built in 1901 and 1902 according to plans by the Leipzig architect Alfred Ludwig and inaugurated on August 18, 1902.
On May 1, 1905, the school was nationalized and the Ministry of State became the sponsor of the "Ducal Alexandrine School". At Easter 1915 she was raised to the Lyceum . After the unification of the Free State of Coburg with Bavaria, the Alexandrine School was a Bavarian state educational institution and, alongside the Max-Josef-Stift in Munich, was the only state secondary school for girls in Bavaria as the Alexandrinum .
In 1955 the school moved to a new building on Seidmannsdorfer Straße. The old house was taken over by the Albertinum grammar school .
architecture
Access to the grammar school via Seidmannsdorfer Straße is via a staircase on a terrace porch, which is part of the outdoor facilities of the grammar school as a viewing platform and is registered as a monument in the Bavarian monument list (see also list of monuments in Coburg / S # Seidmannsdorfer Straße ). The terrace is limited at the top by a parapet with a base, which has short posts and longer parapet panels. The sandstone block wall with a cellar portal originally belonged to a garden house built in 1832, which was demolished in 1953 for the new construction of the high school. The architecture of the garden house is attributed to Karl Friedrich Schinkel . The Mediterranean-looking house was an important testimony to New Palladianism and was documented by William Turner in his Franconian sketchbook in 1840.
