history
Foundation of the school
The original girls' school was founded in 1925 on the basis of several initiatives by Catholic parents from Hagen, which was still 85% Catholic in 1898, with the support of the Prussian state parliament member Joseph Baumhoff and the local district court director Oebike.
It was founded at Easter 1925 by the Augustinian choir women in the Michaelskloster in Paderborn .
Until World War II
In the years up to 1931, the school increasingly had to struggle with the lack of space in the previous building. Therefore, on February 22, 1928, the go-ahead was given for a new building, which was to be erected on a plot of land with enough space for renewed expansion: the allotment gardens of the Funckepark. The foundation stone bears the inscription of the motto of the Augustinian canon Pierre Fourier :
Omnibus prodesse, obesse nemini. (Latin. Benefit to everyone, harm no one.)
With the approval of the Ministry of Culture for the upper lyceum of the Hildegardis School in 1931, the first Abitur took place in 1934 .
The predictions of the world war were felt as early as 1938: the school administration was forbidden to accept new sextans and 120 civil servants' children were forcibly released.
The time of the world war
When Hagen was firmly in the hands of the National Socialists in 1939, the classrooms were converted into a dormitory for employed workers. Classes had to be stopped and the sisters were employed either in the dormitory or in parishes.
On March 15, 1945, the school was completely destroyed in a heavy bombing raid on the industrial city, leaving the sisters with nothing but escape from Hagen.
reconstruction
For the feast of the Augustinian Canon Fourier on July 7, 1945, the sisters returned and began planning the reconstruction. On January 9, 1946, lessons could only be resumed with three classes under difficult personnel and financial conditions. Protestant schoolgirls were also accepted for the first time. An apprenticeship with a high school diploma seemed a long way off again.
It was not until 1964 that 20 female students graduated with the Abitur, after the grammar school, which has meanwhile been in the modern language, had again received permission to set up an upper level in 1961.
Post-war until today
From the 1950s onwards, there was more and more emphasis on ecumenism. Today, 25 to 30% Protestant pupils are also accepted in every new year, which has consisted of four classes every year over the years.
In the course of modernization, the first male students were also admitted in the 1980s. The traces of the girls' high school are still reflected today in the gender distribution in the classes: around two thirds of the students are still female.
In 2000 the convent of Augustinian women choirs was given up due to a lack of staff, and the school became the responsibility of the Archdiocese of Paderborn.
Termination and penalty order against the long-time headmaster
On January 4, 2018, the headmaster was released from service for an indefinite period by the Archbishop's General Vicariate. Since December 2017, the initial suspicion of a criminal offense has been examined; A data carrier was secured during a house search. In August 2018, a penalty warrant against the school principal for possession of youth pornographic images became final, which included an eight-month suspended prison sentence and a fine of 10,000 euros. He was also given notice of termination without notice.
building
The actual school and the monastery, which was completed in 1931, were added to in 1950 due to lack of space. Ten years later, in 1960, a gymnasium, a gymnastics room , the so-called Y-wing, in which there is space for specialist rooms for physics and chemistry , and a new conference room were added. The last structural change so far, which was completed in 1975, included the auditorium, new classrooms and a new monastery that replaced the basic structure. The school grounds also include a monastery garden and a spacious school yard with a cafeteria building.
On May 11, 2011, the Archdiocese of Paderborn announced that a fundamental renovation and redesign of the school building had been decided. The design by the architectural office Lamott + Lamott (Stuttgart), which was awarded first prize in an architectural competition that was advertised to a limited extent , has been implemented since summer 2014. Because it contains a demolition of large parts of the previous school building - with the exception of the oldest part - the school moved into a building previously used by Deutsche Telekom opposite Otto-Ackermann-Platz, where lessons were held from 2014 to 2017. On August 30, 2017, the school will move to the newly designed building at Zehlendorfer Straße 19 as planned.
