The kuk officier's daughters education institute
(Hungarian: Császári és királyi tisztleányok nevelöinternat )
was an educational institution in Ödenburg , Hungary to support officers' daughters who were orphaned during the revolutionary struggles of 1848/1849 . The institute went back to an association founded by Mathilde Zahradnik, née Countess Bolza.
planning
On March 25, 1850 the women's association for the education of orphaned penniless officer's daughters was founded in Ödenburg . The statutes of the association were presented to the Reich Ministry of War for appreciation and sanctioning , where initially nothing happened. Archduke Albrecht Friedrich of Austria, as military governor of Hungary, gave his approval and the Ministry of the Interior also supported the establishment of this association and so it was approved by Emperor Franz Joseph I on May 8, 1852 .
The first donors included the empresses Elisabeth and Carolina Auguste and the archdukes Albrecht and Carl Ferdinand . Field Marshal Josef Wenzel Radetzky von Radetz donated 8,000 guilders in 1852 on the condition that the institute had to become active within five years. Otherwise, this sum should benefit the Imperial and Royal Officier Daughter Education Institute in Hernals near Vienna . This example of the field marshal in turn triggered a wave of donations among members of the army, so that around 2/3 of the association's base assets (1855: 56,625 guilders) came from them.
The sum mentioned above was not enough to buy a house for the institute, but the first 12 pupils were accepted and given to the Ursuline monastery in Ödenburg for education. To the joy of the association, the army high command did not withdraw from these girls any earlier education contributions and graces.
In 1856, Field Marshal Lieutenant David Kräutner von Thatenberg donated a free space. By 1857, thanks to further donations, the association's assets had risen to a total of 80,000 guilders, but this was still not enough for a house of its own for the planned institute. Field Marshal Radetzky then granted an extension of ten years. In 1859, the Viennese wholesaling committee dedicated 13,900 guilders to the establishment of two foundation places, and Field Marshal Lieutenant Morzin also donated two places.
In 1866, one year before the end of the deadline set by Count Radetzky, the association obtained an opinion from the Friedrich Lähne boys' educational institution in Ödenburg about the financial viability of the establishment of the institute. On the basis of the statement that an institute designed for 25 places could not be financed with the available capital, the association turned to the War Ministry, which administered the donation from Field Marshal Radetzky, who had since died, with the request to extend the deadline again. This was granted for a further three years in 1867.
This deadline almost expired without the association having its own building and without the institute being able to commence its activities - whereby the sum of 8,000 guilders would have been lost for good - the field marshal-lieutenant widow Caroline Freiin von Werner bequeathed 30,000 guilders to the association , which drove the association's capital to a sum of around 200,000 guilders.
Buy and build
This finally made it possible for the association to decide on March 11, 1869 to purchase the house of Alexandrine von Nagy in Ödenburg for 25,000 guilders and to make necessary adjustments.
Since 1862, 24 pupils have been fed in the Ursuline monastery at the club's expense. Now it was decided, in order to enable the older of them to receive further training, to send them to the monastery of the English Fräulein in Pest . Only the girls who were not yet 18 years old were to be taken over by the association to the new institute - there were 16 girls.
With the purchase of the future institute building, however, a dispute about the future occupation of the pupils broke out within the association, with which they should finance their future life. To select the training as a stand teachers and educators or merely a bourgeois home education . In the end, those association members who advocated the profession of teachers prevailed.
The management of the institute was the task of a head supervisor, who was supported by two - later three - subordinates with school lessons and the upbringing of the girls.
The pupils were divided into two classes, which had to achieve the teaching goal of elementary and then community school. This was followed by three years with the task of a teacher preparation. External teachers were also brought in for the subjects taught in this section (physics, chemistry, geometry, drawing, French, English, singing, gymnastics, handicrafts). Piano lessons were also given, but only if the costs incurred were borne by relatives of the pupil.
The girls were admitted at the age of eight to twelve years, the educational period should be ten years. The conditions here at the institute in Ödenburg largely corresponded to those in Hernals.
On September 15, 1870, the headmaster Maria Mingazzi di Modigliano - a former student of the officers' daughters educational institute in Hernals - moved into the new house with the first students.
Another story
The Royal Hungarian Ministry of Education approved in 1874 that the first four pupils were allowed to take their final exams at a public teacher preparation, which were also successfully passed.
In the institute in Ödenburg everything was calm and peaceful, but in the association there was an uproar. There was again a dispute about the direction, this time a group wanted to dissuade the association from its original purpose - to support orphaned officer's daughters - which resulted in violent association meetings. The president of the association - Field Marshal-Lieutenant-Widow Freiin von Fromm - even threatened to resign if the goals of the association changed. Nevertheless, these efforts to change became stronger and stronger.
A committee of officers that met in Vienna instructed comrades to apply for the dissolution of the association at the next general assembly of the association in Ödenburg. The subsequent vote brought a majority of 985 to 143 votes for the dissolution. The association's statutes required a majority of 7/8 of the votes for a dissolution and this was not achieved.
The garrison commander of Ödenburg - Major General Baron Heinold - supported the officers' committee with advice. The next General Assembly was on April 29, 1876 and this time the presence of a large number of army representatives ensured a majority of 1637 to 7 votes.
The ku Ministry of the Interior approved the decision to place the institute under the direction and supervision of the joint War Ministry in Vienna.
An elected five-member committee was given the task of handing over the association's assets to the War Ministry and drawing up a letter together with the latter, so that the institute would continue to exist as an inviolable foundation under the title Foundation of the Women's Association for the Upbringing and Education of Orphaned Imperial and Royal Daughters of the Joint Army .
On March 22, 1877, the garrison commander of Ödenburg took over the association's assets to bring them to the War Ministry in Vienna.
In July 1877 work began on the construction of two courtyard wings, which should increase the number of places for pupils to 40. The work was completed in September of the same year under the direction of Captain Edmund Ritter von Brason, a teacher at the Imperial and Royal Military Academy in Wiener Neustadt .
Also in 1877 the type of cooperation between the two officer's daughter institutes was regulated. The newly arrived pupils received elementary and community school lessons in Ödenburg. Once this goal was achieved, they moved to Hernals to receive their pedagogical training here. For the pupils from Ödenburg, this arrangement had the advantage that they too were entitled to the military pension that went back to Emperor Joseph II . The first 13 pupils moved to Hernals in September 1877.
A provisional gymnasium was built in 1879, but it was demolished in 1889/1890, as was the purchased house at Lange Line 8 , in order to enlarge the main building, which was extended in 1883. The street front of the institute was thus considerably lengthened. In the presence of Emperor Franz Joseph, the first Holy Mass was celebrated on June 1, 1884 in the institute's newly built chapel.
A very high order of October 17, 1889 ordered that from now on the army, all its parts, organs and institutions had to use the designation " imperial and royal " - and thus also the kuk officer's daughter education institutes in Ödenburg and Hernals .
Since, despite the repeated structural extensions, only a small number of applications for admission could be resolved, General Feldenhauser - Head of Department VI in the Reich Ministry of War and therefore responsible for military schools and educational institutions - asked Camilla Freiin von Bauer, the wife of the Reich Minister of War, for help in finding new sources of money. The baroness found important and influential ladies who wanted to help her in realizing this project. Empress Elisabeth took over the protectorate over this committee. They also allowed that this foundation for the marriage of her daughter, Archduchess Marie Valerie Valerie Foundation was called.
In February 1891 the committee issued an appeal for donations, which was very successful. The most important donor was Archduke Albrecht, who donated the capital to finance a free space, which should also bear the name of his donor. In total, money was received for 17 free places.
A well-known teacher at the school was the folklorist Johann Reinhard Bünker , who worked there as a drawing teacher from 1892.
The further history of the institute is not very certain.
