The Vinzentinum in Brixen ( South Tyrol ) is a German-speaking educational institution of the diocese of Bozen-Brixen that is on an equal footing with public schools . It was founded in 1872 by Prince-Bishop Vinzenz Gasser as a Kleines Seminar ( Episcopal Boys' Seminar ) and named after him after his death in 1879. With the admission of girls to the full boarding school from the 2013/2014 school year, the Vinzentinum lost its status as a boys' seminar and was renamed the Vinzentinum Episcopal Institute . The offer includes a classic grammar school and a middle school and a boarding school . In the 2018/2019 school year, a total of 279 pupils will be looked after by 32 teachers and ten prefects in the school and boarding school .
history
1872–1913: Founded as a "fortress against the zeitgeist"
The lack of priests prevailing in Tyrol in the middle of the 19th century and the burgeoning liberalism prompted Prince-Bishop Vinzenz Gasser of Brixen to initiate the building of a small seminary. Since the search for a plot of land and the construction of a separate building took some time, the seminar was initially housed at Thurneck Castle in Rotholz at the entrance to the Zillertal. The first course with 25 seminarians started there in October 1872. In the same year, Bishop Gasser acquired a plot of land in Zinggen on the northern edge of Brixen for 30,000 guilders and commissioned the Steinach architect Josef von Stadl to plan and construct a suitable building for the boys' seminar.
Around 67,000 guilders were made available for the construction. However, this money was almost completely lost in the wake of the founder crash in 1873. Nevertheless, on June 25, 1873, construction work began. Further capital was raised through large-scale donation campaigns. However, it is still unknown to this day where the additional funds required that made the complex construction of granite stone come from. In the Brixen Chronicle from 1919 it is only noted: "The Vincentinum was made by purely private charity and the far greater part of the amounts came from beyond the Brenner ."
While up to 400 workers were working on the construction of the boys' seminar, on April 26, 1874 the foundation stone was laid for the Sacred Heart Church, which is directly adjacent to the seminary building. In September 1876 - three years after the start of construction - work on the school and home had progressed so far that five courses with 123 seminarians, who previously studied primarily in redwood, were able to move to Brixen. The church and the theater below it were completed in September 1878. In March 1879 the school was granted provisional public rights by the Imperial and Royal Ministry of Education in Vienna , which the Vincentinum was granted permanently from the school year 1881/1882. After its completion, the seminar could accommodate 270 seminarians, twelve professors and eight prefects. After Prince-Bishop Gasser's death in 1879, the seminar was renamed "Vinzentinum" in memory of the founder. In the first 20 years of its existence, 341 students graduated from the boys' seminar with a Matura . 261 of them began studying theology . Due to its massive appearance, the Vincentinum was often perceived as a “Catholic demonstration of power in public space” and as a “fortress against the spirit of the times”.
1914–1919: Imperial and Royal Reserve Hospital in the First World War
Even in the run-up to the First World War , the Vinzentinum was demonstratively close to the Austrian imperial family and its military. Two years before the outbreak of war, upper-class students were given shooting lessons - from officers of the Imperial and Royal Army . In April 1914 the Tyrolean governor and later Imperial and Royal Interior Minister Count Friedrich von Toggenburg attended the school. On the occasion of this event, the "Vinzentiner March" was presented for the first time.
After the general mobilization in July 1914, the Vinzentinum was immediately converted into an Imperial and Royal Reserve Hospital ("Reservespital Stryj "). With the exception of the eighth grade, most of whose students were in the field, teaching could still be largely maintained. However, the seminarians were accommodated in alternative quarters in Brixen and the surrounding area.
During the war, the Vincentians fought under their own flag, for which they were even able to win Empress Zita as a flag godmother. There was also a flag song written by Brother Willram and composed by Ignaz Mitterer . In order to maintain the connection between the Vinzentinum and its students fighting on the front, Gebhard Baldauf, professor of religion and congregation president, brought the "Vinzentiner Feldpostbriefe" into being. In a total of 19 issues, they should "tell of some heroic deeds, capture interesting, uplifting, humorous things from the field postcards in bright colors [...] and stimulate mutual interest and intimate friendship."
Less than a year after the end of the war, the hospital was cleared in July 1919 and regular school operations resumed.
1920–1938: Loss of public rights and division at the time of fascism
On the basis of the Treaty of Saint-Germain , South Tyrol was annexed by Italy in October 1920 . Especially after the fascists came to power in October 1922, this annexation had devastating effects on school operations in the Vincentinum. Several decrees issued by the fascist government in Rome were intended to Italianize South Tyrol and ban the German language from schools. Italian was introduced as the language of instruction in South Tyrol in October 1923, and religious instruction in German was also banned in November of the same year. In 1924 the Vincentinum finally had to give up its public rights.
As a result, a final exam at the Vinzentinum in Italy was no longer recognized and therefore did not entitle to study. Up until the beginning of the 1930s, the seminarians passed their Matura in Hall in Tirol , before Prince-Bishop Johannes Geisler introduced the so-called “Episcopal House Matura ”. This was recognized by German-speaking universities abroad and also entitled to study at the seminary in Bressanone . Nevertheless, additional efforts were made to enable the students to obtain a title recognized in Italy. The seminarians were encouraged to take the state final exam at a public school in Italian. In order to prepare the students for this, from the school year 1936/1937, in addition to regular Italian lessons, some subjects were also taught in Italian.
Although the Vinzentinum was downgraded to a purely private school and the Lateran Treaty of 1929 as the “Seminarium Tridentinum ” together with the Johanneum in Dorf Tirol, it was one of the few educational institutions in South Tyrol where German was allowed, but the massive restrictions almost meant that Off for the boys' seminar. In 1926, fascist Italy also banned Austrian students from attending school in South Tyrol. Traditionally, around two thirds of the seminarians came from North or East Tyrol and Vorarlberg . The Vincentinum lost a large part of its students in one fell swoop. As a direct result of the entry restrictions, the diocese was forced to share the boys' seminary. The state rifle barracks and the Truefergut were purchased in Schwaz in Tyrol and the Paulinum Episcopal Gymnasium was set up there. Teaching staff, teaching materials and inventory were divided between the Vincentinum and the Paulinum. Josef Mutschlechner , who headed the diocese of Bressanone as apostolic administrator from 1927 to 1930 , resolutely stuck to the continued existence of the Vincentium and saved it over difficult years. He is therefore considered to be the "second founder" of the Vincentium.
1939–1945: Military hospital and takeover by the German Wehrmacht in World War II
The Hitler-Mussolini Agreement in October 1939 and the political, economic and social effects of the Second World War brought another turning point for the Vincentinum. In the course of the option , many students left the country to study in the German Reich . After Italy entered the war, the building was confiscated by the fascist military authorities and served again as a hospital from 1943 onwards. Again, the students had to be accommodated in alternative quarters in the area.
But as early as September 1943 the German Wehrmacht invaded South Tyrol and subsequently also took over the Vincentinum. The Italian soldiers were disarmed, the staff dismissed and the school closed. In December 1943, the German school authorities began to renovate the house without the bishop's consent with the aim of opening a “high school for boys” in the Vincentian premises. The first students moved in in March 1944. In the course of the Allied bombardment of Brixen , the building was converted into a hospital again in December 1944, which offered space for over 1,400 wounded.
After the end of the war, the Vincentium was reopened in October 1945 as an Episcopal Gymnasium with boarding school.
Since 1946: legal recognition and equality
Due to the revocation of public rights during the time of fascism, the Vincentinum was for a long time a purely ecclesiastical private school even after the Second World War. It was not until the school year 1968/1969 that it was legally recognized by the state authorities. Five years earlier, a single middle school was set up in addition to the grammar school.
In 1977, girls were admitted to secondary school for the first time on a trial basis, before general co-education was introduced in 1996 and the school offer was expanded to include a secondary school branch with a musical focus. In 2003 there was finally legal equality with state schools. Starting with the 2013/2014 school year, girls will also be admitted to the full home in the Vinzentinum boarding school. Since the Vinzentinum no longer fulfills the canonical criteria of an episcopal boys' seminar, the establishment was renamed from "Episcopal Seminar Vinzentinum" to "Episcopal Institute Vinzentinum".
Architecture and buildings
.jpg)
Architect Josef von Stadl designed the Vinzentinum as a massive, no-frills functional building in the neo-Romanesque style . The four main wings, each around 70 meters long, extend over five floors and enclose a square inner courtyard. The floor plan is thus similar to that of the so-called Great Seminary ( seminary ), the Philosophical-Theological University in Bressanone. The cubic volume of the building is 85,600 cubic meters, which was installed on an area of 4172 square meters. Despite several renovations, the external appearance of the Vincentium has remained almost unchanged to this day.
Another four-storey complex, offset by a half-story, is located directly on the west side of the main building and houses a theater hall (“Parzival Hall”), the seminary church, the student chapel and a library.
The extension was also built according to plans by Josef von Stadl, but was only completed two years after the main building. In one of his last pontifical acts, Vinzenz Gasser gave the seminary church to its destination in September 1878. The grand solemn consecration by Prince-Bishop Simon Aichner for the first church in Tyrol to be consecrated to the Heart of Jesus did not take place until twelve years later in April 1890 after the interior design was completed. The church, which has four side chapels in addition to the main nave, was decorated with frescoes in the Nazarene style by Albrecht Steiner von Felsburg between 1878 and 1889 . In 1922, Rudolf Stolz created a memorial for the fallen next to the church portal. Today the church has an 18- register , two-manual slider chest organ , which was built in 1969 by Reinisch-Pirchner . Before that, there was also a Reinisch organ with 14 registers in the same place , the organ case of which was designed by Felsburg himself and made by the sculptor and art carver Franz Egg. The organ was donated by graduates for the 25th anniversary of the Vincentium in 1897.
The theater below ( Aula Magna ) was furnished by the romantic Edmund von Wörndle with a 16-part picture cycle between 1885 and 1888, showing episodes from Wolfram von Eschenbach's verse novel Parzival . The theater curtain, also painted by Wörndle, on the other hand, depicts Wolfram von Eschenbach himself, surrounded by people who are said to have served as inspiration for Parzival .
At the beginning of the 1990s, the most extensive general renovation of the building began, which was adapted to modern needs and made barrier-free over a period of around a decade . In the course of this renovation work, the extension was also significantly redesigned. Originally there was an Upper and Lower Oratory next to the Parcival Hall and the Sacred Heart Church . The latter was given a contemporary appearance by the South Tyrolean artist couple Manfred A. Mayr and Carmen Müller. In May 1998 this newly designed student chapel was consecrated to the Vincentian martyr Otto Neururer . The Upper Oratory, however, was closed and the premises were converted into a library for the middle school. Another chapel in the residential wing is dedicated to Saint Joseph Freinademetz .
The formal conclusion of the extensive restructuring was formed in March 2005 with the blessing of the new gym, designed by architect Christian Mahlknecht, which is connected to the old building via an underground corridor. In the latter, the two top floors are now used for the high school and middle school boarding school. The classrooms and special rooms are located on the first floor and on the mezzanine floor. On the basement there is a kitchen, dining rooms and a wide variety of work and storage rooms.
In 2015 and 2016, a large-scale energetic renovation of the entire building took place. Over 800 windows were renewed and the entire roof was insulated and re-covered. In the course of this renovation work, the attic was also redesigned and a new home wing was set up on the third floor on the east side, which offers space for 20 pupils. In 2019, the interior doors were finally renewed and equipped with an electronic locking system.
The Vinzentinum building is surrounded by a large park area, completely renovated in 2019, with numerous sports and leisure facilities (soccer field, multi-purpose sports field for hockey, handball, volleyball and basketball, skate park, beach volleyball and athletics facilities, table tennis, giant chess, playground, ice skating and ice hockey rink, ...), a herb and vegetable garden and a pond.
Organizational structure and school profile
In addition to a school and boarding school, the Vinzentinum also includes an agricultural estate and some other properties. The institution is committed to a Christian - humanist worldview. The highest authority is the Bishop of Bozen-Brixen, who appoints the individual department heads. Regens and thus the legal representative of the house has been Hw. Eugene Runggaldier. The director of the two schools of the Vincentium has been Christoph Stragenegg since 2004 - the first layman . Paul Felix Rigo took over the management of the boarding school in 2016. The house and property management including the farm is the responsibility of a separate department under the current manager Thomas Schraffl. The management of the house was carried out until 2012 by both secular employees and nuns of the Order of the Sisters of Mercy . In July 2012 the last two remaining sisters left the house and retired after the order had been active in the Vincentinum since it was founded 140 years ago. As Spiritual acts since 2018 Hw. Josef Knapp.
Middle school
The three-year middle school according to the regular timetable was first introduced in the Vinzentinum in the school year 1963/1964. In 1996 the offer was expanded to include a secondary school train with a musical focus. Instrumental lessons are given for a wide variety of wind , percussion , string , keyboard and plucked instruments . Another educational focus is on learning advice and methodology, which is taught as an independent subject. A day and a full home are available for middle school students. Starting with the 2013/2014 school year, the link between school attendance and a visit to the in-house boarding school was lifted. In the 2016/2017 school year, 71 boys and 70 girls attended the two middle school trains.
high school
The five-year high school of the Vincentium is a classical grammar school with Greek and Latin as classical and Italian and English as modern foreign languages. With the high school reform in 2011, the designation Humanistic Gymnasium was replaced by Classic Gymnasium. Starting with the 2015/2016 class, high school students from the fourth grade can choose between a scientific and a cultural-historical focus. Both high school and middle school students have access to day and full boarding schools. 47 girls and 50 boys attended the Vinzentinum grammar school in the 2016/2017 school year.
Boarding school
The home offer includes day boarding and full boarding, which can be used by both girls and boys. The boarding school is also open to external high school students. During the 2016/2017 school year, 84 pupils live in the full home and 121 pupils visit the day care center. In addition, 42 guest home students from other schools use the Vincentian home. The facility is designed for a maximum of 145 middle and 120 high school students. In the boarding school, the students are looked after by specially trained educators who are responsible for learning support as well as leisure time animation. From the 2013/14 school year, the full boarding school was also opened for girls. For this purpose, the sister wing, which was last vacant, was rebuilt and a dedicated teacher was hired.
Student numbers
The development of the number of students at the Vinzentinum is not linear and is characterized by numerous ups and downs. The institution had the highest number of students in the years before the First World War and in the mid-1950s and early 1960s. The average class size in these years was up to 52 students. The first three classes - of the grammar school, which was run according to the Austrian system at the time - which correspond to today's middle school, had a record attendance of 157 students in the school year 1925/1926. Of these, 67 students were in the first grade alone. The top five classes (today's Classic Gymnasium) were the best attended with 161 students in 1957/1958. Three years later the Vincentinum had the highest total number of students in its history with 303. Before that, this record stood at 294 from the school year 1897/1898. The entry ban for Austrian students imposed by the fascist regime in 1926 ushered in a period of negative records. In 1926/1927 three classes could no longer be opened. In total, only 95 students (73 lower grades, 22 upper grades) attended the school. In the years 1943 to 1945 the Vinzentinum was completely closed. Since the legal recognition in 1968 and equality in 2003 and the associated legal requirements with regard to space availability and the number of schoolchildren, the numbers fluctuate less strongly. The in-house maximum number of students is now 25 per class. However, 239 students in the 2016/2017 school year mark a high since the year of legal recognition in 1968.
Didactic equipment
In addition to IT, art, work, music, chemistry, physics and biology rooms, the Vinzentinum has some additional special rooms as well as collections and libraries, some of which are centuries old, some of which are also open to the public.
Collections
Natural history collection
The "Natural History Cabinet" houses a collection of exhibits from flora , fauna and geology . Most of these were bought as teaching aids before the First World War or were collected and donated by professors and students of the Vincentium. There are specimens of domestic and foreign species from all continents (especially mammals, reptiles, birds, butterflies, beetles and snails), as well as a fund of minerals, rocks and fossils . The collection also includes rarities and curiosities such as a real human skeleton, a stuffed two-headed calf, plaster casts of old apple and pear varieties or an elephant's tusk. The exhibits are still used in lessons and for scientific work.
Herbarium Rupert Huter
The " Herbarium Huteri" is a collection of plants with around 75,000 documents on the flora of the Eastern and Southern Alps . The Tyrolean priest and botanist Rupert Huter bequeathed the herbarium to the Vincentinum on the advice of Prince-Bishop Vinzenz Gasser. Over the course of several decades, Huter has collected, pressed, dried and grown the plants on herbarium sheets together with fellow scientists. Over 13,000 different plant species were recorded and cataloged in this way. The collection still forms the basis for numerous publications on alpine flora and is considered to be unique in Europe. Since 1996 the herbarium arches have been restored in the Tyrolean State Museum Ferdinandeum in Innsbruck and in the South Tyrolean Nature Museum in Bozen . The restoration was completed in autumn 2016. In the future, the herbarium will be made available to the South Tyrolean Museum of Nature as a permanent loan.
Physical collection
In the “physical-historical cabinet” there is a collection of devices from various areas of physics. The most important exhibits are some original works by the inventor Johann Kravogl . These include an electric motor he designed , a two-boot air pump and a Rühmkorff spark inductor .
Dactyl library
The Daktyliothek ("Kunstkammer") is a small museum open to the public by prior arrangement, in which ancient weapons, armor, globes, sailing ship models, pictures and copperplate engravings are exhibited. In the showcases there are also excavation finds, coins, medals, seals, stamps, certificates, jewelry and devotional objects to admire.
Ferdinand Plattner nativity scene
An important work by the Sarnser Nativity School has been located in the Vinzentinum since 1955 . Which consists of 35 characters and numerous depictions of animals Christmas Crib is made from Sarnser pastor and Krippenbaukünstler Ferdinand Plattner (1869-1950) and his students. Cut-out nativity scenes by Joseph von Führich , Edmund von Wörndle , Philipp Schumacher and Josef Bachlechner served as templates . The roughly 35 centimeter high nativity figures are carved in the late Nazarene style .
Libraries
The Vincentium's library holdings consist of the current school library and several historical libraries. While the media in the school library is digitally cataloged using the “Bibliotheca 2000” software , the old holdings were reorganized between 2006 and 2015 and also digitally recorded as part of the SFIVET project ( development of historical libraries in South Tyrol ).
School library
The Vincentian school library is divided into two rooms. The secondary school library is on the first floor of the main building. The middle school library is located on the third floor of the extension. Together with the teaching materials, the school library comprises around 17,000 media. The books, magazines, newspapers and digital media are freely accessible to students and staff of the Vincentium.
Historical study library
The historic holdings of their own school consists of about 52,500 volumes, in a rolling archive in the library magazine are stored the high school library. It contains the bequests of several priests and professors as well as a collection of annual school reports from the grammar schools of the Habsburg monarchy (around 9,000 school program books from around 1,500 schools in over 600 different cities) and some incunabula. The magazine also houses the 13,300 volumes Parschalk Library - named after the former pastor of Lengmoos am Ritten , Johann Parschalk (1778–1857), as well as the 3,000 volume private library of the natural scientist and folklorist Alois Staindl (1913–1994). In 2007, the holdings of the abandoned Johanneum in Dorf Tirol (38,000 volumes) were transferred to another roll archive on the lower ground floor.
House bar
In a vault on the lower ground floor there is an in-house bar, which, along with the cafeteria, is one of the social meeting places for the community. The bar is given a new name every year and is run by the seventh graders (4th grade high school) as part of an economic project. For this purpose, the rooms are always redecorated and put under a motto chosen by the students. The bar is open every day for several hours in the afternoon and evening and the venue for various celebrations and events.
Instrument practice rooms
Also in the basement there are twelve special practice rooms available to the house's instrumentalists. These small, separated chambers are acoustically developed and soundproof.
Educational Initiatives
The main focus of the pedagogical work at the Vinzentinum is above all interdisciplinary holistic initiatives, in which intellectual as well as artistic and personality-building qualities are to be addressed.
Matura theater
Instead of the high school graduation ball that is common in South Tyrol , the high school students put on a play every year. The students also take on the organization and public relations work. While teachers were mostly directing in earlier years, a professional director has been hired in recent years. The performances usually take place between February and April in the Parzival Hall.
The high school graduates finance their high school trip with the voluntary admission donations. In addition, the Maturatheater has been accompanied by a charity campaign for several years, the proceeds of which go to a social project selected by the students.
Vincentian Choirs
Boys' choir
The Vinzentiner Knabenchor is as old as the school itself. It was founded in 1872 by David Mark, one of the first prefects of the house. Up until the 1990s, the choir was used almost exclusively on in-house events. For around 20 years now, the boys' choir has also been performing increasingly outside of the Vincentium and annually goes on a multi-day concert and cultural trip to other European countries. In May 2000 the Vinzentiner Knabenchor was the first choir to appear in the European Parliament in Strasbourg . The ensemble, which has around 60 members, is the only pure boys' choir in South Tyrol. He has been under the direction of Andrea Tasser since 2014.
Girls choir
Since 1999 there has also been a girls' choir at the Vinzentinum . This has been headed by Clara Sattler since it was founded. Around 70 schoolgirls between the ages of 11 and 18 sing in the Vinzentiner Girls Choir.
The boys 'and girls' choirs also perform together on special occasions.
"Social bridge-building electricians"
The solidarity group "Social Bridge Construction Electricians" (SBE) was founded in 1998 and currently has 22 members (as of 2016). The unusual name is intended to emphasize the unifying character of the group. The SBE see themselves as bridge builders and lighters. In the early years mainly actions were organized in favor of the then partner school in San Antonio de Lomerío in Bolivia . Since the school year 2007/2008, the Group's activities have towards Sudan and the since 2011 independent South Sudan moved. There development aid projects of the Comboni missionary Erich Fischnaller from Mühlbach are supported. Since 2011, a Cameroonian girl has also been able to attend school through an annual financial donation.
Educational trips and study trips
During the school year, there are some small excursions and study trips lasting several days with a cultural and economic focus. Regular destinations include Greece , Campania , Rome , Munich , Milan , Turin , Siena , Perugia , Assisi , Padua and Ravenna .
Klar.text - The Vinzentiner opinion forum
"Klar.text - The Vinzentiner Opinion Forum" takes place at least once a year. This is a series of events in which economic, political, social or cultural issues are dealt with in the form of panel discussions or discussion groups together with experts.
Partnerships and student exchanges
The “ Marii-Konopnickiej -Lyzeum” in the eastern Polish city of Suwałki has been a partner school of the Vincentium since 2003 . A fortnightly student exchange with the partner school takes place every two years.
Student exchange programs were also organized with the Italian high school “Liceo Classico Dante Alighieri ” and the Italian high school “ Alessandro Manzoni ” in Bressanone.
The Vincentinum maintains friendly relationships with the Episcopal Gymnasium Paulinum in Schwaz and the Meinhardinum in Stams in North Tyrol, with whom there are also regular student exchanges.
School newspaper
Since 2010, the school newspaper "The Vinzenz Times" has been published two to four times a year . This is published voluntarily and independently by an editorial team made up of middle and high school students.
Vincentian Annual Report
Every year in late autumn the Episcopal Institute publishes the Vincentian annual report. The approximately 100-page brochure in A5 format is in the tradition of the high school annual reports from the k.-u.-k.-era . The first part of the report deals with an annual topic, while the second half contains the school and home chronicles as well as a statistical part. With a few interruptions in times of war and crisis, the annual report has been published since the early years of the Vincentium. Between 1939 and 1973 there was a long break . Although the so-called seminar parts were published from 1953 to 1971, the tradition of the Vincentian annual reports was not continued until one year after the 100th anniversary in 1972. Since then, however, the report has appeared without gaps.
Alumni association and former students and employees
Alumni Association "The Vinzentiner"
The “Vinzentiner” graduate association has existed since 1990. The purpose of the association is to support and promote the Vincentium as well as to network the former students. The association was entered in the state directory of voluntary associations in 2000. Ingvild Unterpertinger has been president since 2008.
