Henriette of Noël
Henriette von Noël (* 1833 in Bochum ; † 1903 in Münster, Westphalia ) was a teacher and the founder of today's Hildegardis School in Bochum.
Von Noël was the eldest of seven daughters of the Bochum judge Leopold von Noël. Her great-grandfather was the Salm-Salm'sche Chancellor and Ambassador of the Rhine Confederation Peter Franz von Noël . She spent her school days in the Dorsten school for "higher daughters" of the Ursulines, today St. Ursula Gymnasium . After a stay as a language teacher in Liège, she taught in private schools in Cologne from 1865 , where she passed her two teacher exams. In 1860 she founded the "Catholic Higher Daughter School" in Bochum, later called the Hildegardis School and today housed in a building from the 1950s in Bochum's city park . In 1895 she retired because of a serious illness. With the creation of a secondary school for girls, von Noël created a career opportunity for Catholic girls in Bochum. Fifteen years earlier, in 1845, Caroline Krüger , previously a private tutor at Haus Bruch , founded an evangelical secondary school for girls in Bochum. A high school diploma was not yet possible for women in the 19th century.
