Royal High School (1830)

The Lyck high school was an old school in the Masurian capital Lyck .

history

Founded in 1472 as a church school and expanded to a Latin school in 1546, the school was intended to prepare Masurian- speaking students for theology , medicine and law studies at Albertus University . At the instigation of the estates, Duke Georg Friedrich elevated the school to a provincial or particular school in 1587. Lyck was preferred to Hohenstein because it was considered the spiritual center of Masuria and had the country's second printing press on an estate in its vicinity. Raised a princely school in 1599 , the school was in dire straits in the 17th century due to the Tatars and the Great Plague (Prussia) . During the Seven Years' War it stood empty as a result of the Russian occupation of the country. In 1813, the rector Wollner pushed through that the school became a royal high school. When it was consecrated, the primans were absent ; A few weeks before the Battle of Leipzig they were in the field. With the increase in the institution, the rector became director. At the same time, the chief supervision of the first city chaplain was omitted. A major role played the singer wreath of Prima . Circular No. 1 of the Old Gentlemen's Association of January 30, 1929 lists 229 members.

In 1913 the school became a reform grammar school with an attached secondary school , and in 1924 it became a humanistic grammar school with secondary school. In 1931 it was converted into a state secondary school and named after Ernst Moritz Arndt . At the 500th anniversary of Lyck on October 11, 1925, the plaque was renewed to commemorate the Battle of Nations, which was attached to the German oak planted in 1863. In addition, a memorial plaque was donated to two former teachers, the poet of the Masurian song Friedrich Dewischeit and the poet of the Prussian song Bernhard Thiersch . An extension with the gymnasium was completed in 1931. In 1937, the grammar school was downgraded to secondary school in the course of the “ Gleichschaltung” . Strikers and Albertus needles were banned and the 13th year abolished in order to attract additional officer candidates. Before the Second World War, the school was the only one in East Prussia where Polish was taught by a teacher, as an alternative to French as a third foreign language after English and Latin . It had 20 teachers and over 500 students in nine high school and six real classes. The students came from the districts of Oletzko and Johannisburg . 240 high school graduates became members of the Corps Masovia . In 1941 the school building was rededicated as a military hospital by the army (Wehrmacht) . On October 20, 1944, the school was finally closed. On January 20, 1945, the first Red Army units invaded Elk.

In 1956 a (forgotten) sponsorship with a school in the sponsored town of Hagen was concluded. In 2001, the Lyck district community donated a plaque of honor to the school for the fallen pupils of the Second World War in German and Polish.
