The Bundesrealgymnasium Linz Fadingerstraße ( BRG Linz Fadingerstraße for short ) is a Bundesrealgymnasium in the city of Linz in Upper Austria . The school building, which was erected in 1909 at the second and current school location, Fadinger Strasse and the corner of Bethlehemstrasse in downtown Linz, is a listed building .

prehistory

From 1708 to 1828 there was a college-like engineering school in Linz . In 1843 a trade school for apprentices and journeymen was built in Linz . In 1849 a new school organization draft for grammar schools and secondary schools was published in Austria . As a result, a dependent secondary school was set up in Linz in the same year, which accepted students after the 4th grade of the normal school.

Kk state secondary school

The citizens of Linz and the then state school inspector for compulsory schools , Adalbert Stifter , campaigned for an independent secondary school in the middle of the 19th century, which was generally approved by the Ministry of Education and Culture in early March 1851. On April 9, 1851, approval was given for a lower secondary school and in 1852 for an upper secondary school . With the combined efforts of the citizenship, the Linz trade association, the city of Linz, the state and the school authorities, the building of the Linz trade association in Steingasse was prepared for school operations by the end of September 1851. An extension of the building and the school for the secondary school was completed by 1852. Adalbert Stifter was a member of the establishment committee, created the curriculum, and was appointed the responsible state school inspector for the first five years.

Due to the inadequate building conditions in Steingasse , a new school building was required as early as the 1890s. In 1903/1904 the new building was generally approved. As a result, an action committee was founded in April 1905, and construction began on April 4, 1908 on a plot of land on the corner of Fadinger Strasse and Bethlehemstrasse . The  new school building, located in the center of downtown Linz - between the Elisabethinen Hospital and today's Passage department store - was opened on September 19, 1909.

Bundesrealgymnasium

In 1918, after the World War and the establishment of the Republic, the Habsburg coat of arms was removed from the portal. On July 2 and 3, 1926, a 75th anniversary celebration of the school was held in relation to the founding of the lower secondary school in 1851, and a war memorial was unveiled for those who died in the world war. During National Socialism, the support association and the parents' association of the school were dissolved at the beginning of the Second World War . In 1945, after the end of the war, it took several years before the school could run properly again. In 1951 for the 100th anniversary, the association of former Linz secondary school students was founded as a graduate association and support association. The first chairman was the former director of the school, Rudolf Klemt. In 1951, a few months later, a parents' association was also founded. Under the director Alois Moser, the expansion of the school was planned and implemented by the 110th anniversary celebration in 1961. In 1967, the supplemented war memorial for both world wars was unveiled at an event.

student

In the Steingasse

At the beginning of the 20th century, the state secondary school in Steingasse had two students who later made different careers.

  • Adolf Hitler (1889–1945) entered first grade in 1900 at the age of 11. Because of insufficient performance in mathematics and natural history, he repeated the first grade in the 1901/02 school year. When in 1904 the repetition of the third grade threatened, Hitler switched to the state secondary school in Steyr .
  • Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951) attended the school from 1903 to 1906.

In Fadingerstrasse

architecture

The school building on Fadingerstraße was built from 1908 to 1909 according to the plans of the building authority of the city of Linz architect Karl Bundsmann (1871–1921) under the supervision of Gustav Steinberger and Matthäus Schlager and is an example of the transition from historicism to art nouveau . The mighty school building has a floor plan with a U open to the west. Two longitudinal wings in Bethlehemstrasse and Fadingerstrasse are connected to a slightly larger and higher corner pavilion. In 1960 Herbert Jandaurek added another storey, although the northern two-storey wing in Pochestrasse with the ballroom was not added.

In the school, a bronze bust by Franz Strahammer shows Adalbert Stifter, the Imperial and Royal School Councilor. In the stairwell there is a war memorial by Adolf Wagner von der Mühl .
