history
The establishment of the school
The stately aristocratic seat of Freyenthurn dominated the Mühlbach market in the Puster Valley . It was built by Friedrich von Rodank around 1269 and was owned by noble families for 600 years. The last owners were the Counts of Preu, who were also judges of the Rodenegg estate. Two great benefactors and patrons founded a school for middle-class girls there, under the direction of the Tertiary Sisters of Brixen . According to the wish of Maria Huebers , the founder of the Congregation of Tertiary Sisters, it was a matter of helping the girls of the people. When the history of the Freyenthurn aristocratic residence came to an end in 1855, that of the Herz Jesu Institut began. The work started in 1856 with five nuns and six girls.
The news about the early years of the institute school is sparse. What is certain is that religion , as well as German and Italian, were taught from the start. The number of female students increased rapidly. In 1861 there were already 30.
In 1894 the sisters set up a two-year private course for girls who had outgrown compulsory education, the actual monastery school . From this year on, the catalogs and certificate forms are available. In 1897 the school received its first name: advanced training school. In 1911 a third course was introduced by the headmistress Sr. Ambrosia Hösle. Although it was a bad and dangerous time for the Sacred Heart House, the institute school was never closed during the First World War .
The institute school between the two world wars
When South Tyrol became part of Italy in 1919 , the school was given the new name: "Scuola Complementare". Prince-Bishop Johannes Raffl then appointed Alois Meßmer as director of the institute school in 1923. This energetic man guided the school purposefully through the dangerous times. The first Italian inspection took place in 1924. Thereupon the institute was showered with changes and innovations. The new director took the position that in order to save school and home, the nuns should not shy away from sacrifices. Therefore, he ordered that from autumn 1924/25 in all three classes all subjects had to be presented in Italian as the language of instruction.
As the chronicle says, this was one of the most difficult times in school history. In addition to the great financial needs of many parents, there was also a state reform that also affected the school. According to the law of April 22, 1932, it had to be given a new name: either “Scuola” or “Corsi” d'Avviamento al Lavoro. The decision was made for “Corsi”.
In 1939 a state inspector came from Rome , who stayed in the house for two days, examining diplomas and documents of the teachers and giving new regulations and instructions. The first and second grades were recognized by the state, but the third was not. The school was therefore given a new name: “Corsi Biennali d'Avviamento Industriale Femminile riconosciuti legalmente, associati all 'ENIM Roma”. Then the Second World War broke out, but the sisters continued teaching until June 1943.
The institute school after 1945
After the German occupation on September 10, 1943, schooling had to be waited for. On October 31, the zone teacher Josef Wasserer personally informed the nun that the school and institute had to be closed.
In June 1945 the new provincial school authority commissioned the institute to reopen in the fall. Despite the severe war damage, it was possible to start the new school year with 40 students. The lessons were conducted in German again. Although the school no longer had a name, it was a member of the “ENIM”. In 1949, the head of the school department at the time, Sr. Pia - director since 1933 - encouraged the third grade to apply for public rights . After three years, on May 22, 1953, the third class received the public right, i.e. This means that you can take the exam at your own school.
With the public right, the school was given a name again: “Pre-school for housekeeping and women's trade”. From the school year 1951/52 to 1962/63, a first class B was run for students with Italian mother tongue. In that year, they were promoted in German in such a way that they could keep up with the German-speaking students in the second and third year and receive the final diploma. A total of 105 girls learned the German language in this way.
The middle school Herz Jesu Institut
In 1963, the law of December 31, 1962 brought into being for the whole of Italy a new single middle school. The various types of state pre-school schools were abolished or converted into the new middle school and made compulsory for all Italian citizens. On April 9, 1963, the school authorities demanded a decision by the school administration to either keep the monastery school and lose public rights or introduce the middle school and keep public rights and a decision was made to go to the middle school. A total of 3,923 girls attended the actual institute school. In 1966 the first 16 girls obtained the final diploma of the legally recognized middle school "Herz Jesu Institut". In 1969 Sr. Maria Candida Benedikter took over from Sr. Pia Lamprecht in the management, and Sr. Maria Regina Rainer has been running the school since 2002.
Equality - the school today
Since September 1, 2003, the school has been on an equal footing. The outwardly visible sign is that it is no longer an all-girls school. In autumn 2004, the first four boys joined the school community that had been female until then.
In the 2011–2012 school year, 119 girls and 32 boys attended school. They are taught by 14 teachers and three teachers supervise their studies and leisure time. In the meantime 379 pupils have received the final diploma of the equivalent middle school. Between 1966 and June 2011, a total of 1,497 young people have graduated from the "Herz Jesu Institut" middle school. With the start of school in 2008/2009, the new "Maria Hueber School" could be moved into, which was blessed on May 23, 2009 by the emeritus diocesan bishop Karl Golser .
