history

On October 7, 1642, the Franciscans of the Saxon Order Province , who had had a monastery in Dorsten since 1488 , founded the school. In the monastery there was a philosophy course for the next generation of the Franciscans, so that the graduates of the high school could attend a two-year philosophy course to prepare for the university ( Studium philosophicum continuum ). In the 1770s, the Saxon Province also introduced the school reform of the Münster baron Franz von Fürstenberg at the grammar school in Dorsten, which was located in the Electorate of Cologne . In the school year 1789/90, the school had 36 students, at the turn of the 19th century there were 10 in 1815 was the school degenerated into a Latin school, in 1823 the status of a Progymnasium received. Since the monasteries in Prussia were not allowed to accept new members in 1811 due to the secularization , fewer and fewer Franciscans were active as teachers. The Order Province therefore gave up the management of the grammar school at Easter 1836 when the last director, Father Wolfgang Kanne, resigned as teacher and headmaster. Kanne had worked out a school reform of the Latin school in 1819, which was also transferred to the schools in Coesfeld , Rheine and Recklinghausen by the upper president ; German, Latin, mathematics, history, geography, religion and singing were taught in all classes, and natural science in the two upper classes. Kanne died on November 6, 1837 after contracting typhus while visiting a sick person .

In 1894 the school received the status of a rectorate school . On October 16, 1898, permission was given to continue the school as a full establishment with the obligation to build a new school building. In 1902 the new school building on Klosterstrasse was completed. In 1904 the first Abitur examination was held as a "Catholic grammar school (with alternative lessons for Greek) in Dorsten". In connection with the occupation of the Ruhr in 1923, Belgian troops set up their headquarters in the rooms of the grammar school, and the school then moved into the rooms of the former teachers' college on Bochumer Straße. In 1932 the ministry ordered the Petrinum to be transformed back into a high school with a conventional, humanistic orientation. In 1946 the chief president approved the reopening of the school after the war. In 1948, lessons can again be given without restriction, although the building also has to accommodate a primary school. In 1963 the completely rebuilt building with an extension is occupied. The foundation stone for the new building (architect Manfred Ludes ) at the new location "Maria Lindenhof", between the Lippe and the canal , is laid in 1980. In 1982 the school moves to the new building. Starting in 2003, a new school wing alleviates the greatest lack of space caused by the increased number of pupils.
