The Gymnasium Marianum is a state-approved high school in the East Westphalian city ​​of Warburg in North Rhine-Westphalia .

history

The beginnings of the Gymnasium Marianum go back to a convent school attached to the Dominican monastery founded in Warburg in 1281 , which was located in the city center and in which the offspring of the order of preachers were trained. In this u. a. around 1490 the later theologian Otto Beckmann and 1589 the brothers Eberhardus and Luberus Bischopinck from Münster .

Established as a public secondary school in 1628

In 1619, the Mainz canon Heinrich Thöne , who came from Warburg, donated 2000 Reichstalers to the city of Warburg, stipulating that a higher school of three classes ( Infima, Secunda, Syntaxis ) should be maintained from their interest income of 100 talers . After the leader of the Ligist troops, Colonel von Erwitte, had donated 50 Reichstaler “for the restoration of the school in Warburg” , this school was opened in 1628 with two “rectors” in the monastery. In 1643 the city agreed to the establishment and maintenance of two further classes ( Poetica and Rhetorica ) with the Dominican Convention . With these five classes, the school corresponded to the system of the Jesuit schools . It was named "Gymnasium Marianum" after the patronage of the monastery church .

Due to economic hardship and population losses as a result of the Thirty Years 'War and the Seven Years' War , however, the city was not always able to pay the agreed subsidies, so that the two upper classes had to be dismantled again and the existence of the three lower classes was not always guaranteed was.

The first school building was right next to the monastery and, according to the school concept, had five classrooms. It was replaced in 1706 at the city's expense by a new half-timbered building bearing the inscription: "haec schola sumptibus civitatis aedificata". This building had to give way to the expansion of the monastery in 1750. There was another new building made of half-timbered, but only lasted until 1782. This was followed by a new building, but to the west of the monastery church and only with two classrooms.

In 1810 the monastery was legally suppressed by decree of King Jérôme Bonaparte and was not allowed to accept any new members of the order. Nevertheless, the few remaining fathers continued their teaching activities until the monastery was finally abolished in 1824 by the royal Prussian cabinet order and the property with the buildings was nationalized. In order to enable further training for the 10 remaining students, the mayor and the council submitted applications and petitions to King Friedrich Wilhelm III. and the Prussian education authority and were then able to obtain approval for the establishment of a secular higher educational institution.

Established in 1826

In 1826 the “Königliche Progymnasium zu Warburg” started school with initially three classes ( Quinta , Quarta , Tertia ) in the old monastery building. The basis was now Wilhelm von Humboldt's new humanist educational concept . There were initially 27 students. The Sexta was added in 1847 and the Untersekunda in 1865 . The number of students rose to around 100.

In 1866 the institute was recognized as a Progymnasium by ministerial decree and was allowed to issue certificates for “scientific qualification for one-year voluntary military service ” ( intermediate school leaving certificate). It was expanded in the following year by an upper second and now had around 115 students.

Full grammar school in 1874

In 1874, after confirmation by the “royal provincial school college”, the prima was added, so that the city of Warburg now had a complete grammar school . The official name was: "Gymnasium zu Warburg". In the school statute it was stipulated, among other things, that from a denominational point of view the local grammar school is "an equal institution for both Christian denominations" . In addition to 123 Catholic and 22 Protestant students, there were also 20 Jewish students. Almost half of the students came from outside and stayed with host families. The number of students grew to around 300. In 1888 the gymnasium was given a gym on Schützenweg west of Neustadt.

In 1891, an episcopal school convent was founded for foreign students under the sponsorship of the Paderborn diocese . It was initially located on Bahnhofstrasse and in 1894 moved to the former "Friedrichstift" , which was expanded by renovations, in what was then Oberstrasse in the old town of Warburg. The number of boarding school students was around 40. The Konvikt was later called “Collegium Marianum” , was also called “Kasten” by the students and existed until 1972.

After the National Socialist seizure of power in 1933, the grammar school was renamed "Municipal High School for Boys" and the director Hans von Geisau was replaced by a party member. In 1942 the later professor for religious folklore at the University of Münster and the Philosophical-Theological University of Paderborn, Heinrich Schauerte, taught there.

In 1946 the school resumed its humanistic-Christian tradition and was named "Gymnasium Marianum Warburg" . The city reinstated Hans von Geisau as director. The medieval monastery building was extensively rebuilt, refurbished and expanded with a nearby gymnasium from 1953 to 1963 to meet the needs of a two-tier high school with around 500 students.

In 1964 a new language branch was established.

1970 began with the differentiation of the upper level. To increase the range of subjects, cooperation with the Hüffertgymnasium began in 1972 . In 1977 co-education was fully introduced, which until then had been restricted to girls who wanted Latin as their first foreign language.

In 1991 the school was expanded with the construction of new science rooms "Behind the Wall South" and four classrooms as well as art and work rooms in connection with the east wing.
