The Gymnasium Leopoldinum (Leopoldinum, also Leo ) is one of four grammar schools in Passau . It has had its current name since 1965.

history

The Gymnasium Leopoldinum is one of the oldest schools in Germany. Its history goes back to the Passau cathedral school .

Before 1892

Soon after the establishment of the Diocese of Passau in 739, a cathedral school was founded to train the clergy . The heyday of this school is guaranteed in the 9th century by the abbot Godehard of the Niederaltaich monastery and in the 11th to 13th centuries by the names of the leading teachers.

Like many other cathedral schools, it was only operated as a Latin school from the 14th century due to the establishment of universities . In 1611, Bishop Leopold V called the Austrian Jesuits to Passau, who took over the Latin school as a Jesuit college . In 1612 the Jesuit college became the first Passau grammar school. The Jesuits had erected the building by 1617, which is still the main building of the Leopoldinum Gymnasium today.

After the abolition of the Jesuit order in 1773, the school was first run by the Prince-Bishop as Episcopale et Academicum Gymnasium and from 1803 by the State of Bavaria as the Electoral Baierisches Gymnasium and from 1806 as the Royal College of Passau .

From 1892

From 1892 the school is consistently referred to as a grammar school (first royal humanistic grammar school in Passau ); from 1918 to 1965 the school was named Humanistisches Gymnasium Passau . In 1965 the school was renamed the Gymnasium Leopoldinum , whose focus was humanistic-modern language. From 1992 the grammar school was a European grammar school . Since September 2013 the Leopoldinum has been a linguistic and humanistic grammar school again.
