The Karolinen-Gymnasium Rosenheim is a secondary school in Rosenheim in Upper Bavaria . It offers a scientific-technological , a linguistic and a social science course .

history

The girls' schoolhouse in 1895

A girls' school in the former Michaelskapelle had existed in Rosenheim since the early 19th century. From 1851 the school was taken over by the poor school sisters and in 1852 they moved to the sacristan's house in the parish church of St. Nicholas .

After the city had built its own boys 'school in 1866/67 in what was then Bahnhofsstrasse (now Königstrasse), it was decided to create a school for the girls' school as well. This was built in the years 1875/76 by the Rosenheim master builder Simon Lutz . The building was built on the site of an old hospital on Heilig-Geist-Straße. Due to an acute lack of space, another school building, the so-called “Stollschule”, was built next door as early as 1886.

Foundation as a secondary school for girls

Stoll School (demolished 1985)

Until then, however, there was no secondary school for girls in Rosenheim. Since 1884, the city has therefore tried to found an "institute for the training of daughters from better classes". In a meeting on August 2, 1889, the city ​​magistrate was finally able to agree on the establishment of a three-class secondary school for girls, which should be aimed at 13 to 16 year old girls. In addition, a request was made to the poor school sisters to run the school and their curricula were approved.

Newspaper advertisement for enrollment for the school year 1893/94

On October 13, 1890, 33 girls began their training on the second floor of the "Stollschule":

“As is well known, the venerable women school sisters established a secondary school for girls there. This new, up-to-date and often enthusiastically welcomed educational establishment was ceremoniously opened in the beautiful rooms of the [new] girls' school this morning after the previous festive service held in the parish church. In addition to the Reverend City Pastor, Spiritual Counselor and School Inspector Benedikt Gruber, Mayor Wüst and members of both colleges also attended the opening act. Already today 33 pupils frequent the new educational institution, which we wish the best of blossoms and prosperity. "

- " Rosenheimer Anzeiger ", edition of October 14, 1890

The first headmistress was Sister M. Lucretia Lauter, who had worked as a teacher at the girls' school since 1881 before she was employed at the secondary school for girls. She left the secondary school for girls in August 1894 when she was called to Munich to work as motherhouse superior in the Angerkloster .

Costs and financing

The private school cost 4 Mark school fees per month. Since it was only affordable for the wealthy classes, reduced and free places were also offered to those in need upon request. The city sponsored this with a financial grant of up to 500 marks per year. In addition, the city provided the classrooms and furnishings. The poor school sisters committed to provide teaching materials and to take over the heating, lighting and cleaning of the premises.

Curriculum

The goals of the new school were "to sharpen the ability to think and judge and [to] awaken an understanding of the tasks of public life". The centrally trained religious teachers regulated the daily routine of the pupils down to the last detail, the disciplinary order set narrow limits in accordance with the zeitgeist . Although the school was open to students of all denominations, the Catholic faith was firmly anchored in everyday school life. When enrolling in the school, non-Catholic pupils had to prove that they had received other religious instruction.

The educational concept had surprisingly modern features for the time. For example, teaching in natural history should be "always based on intuition and supported by experiments". The physical education classes that were given at girls' schools were still unusual back then. Other compulsory subjects were religion, German, mathematics, geography, history, bookkeeping, drawing, singing and handicraft. French, English, Italian and piano lessons were offered as elective courses.

Relocation to their own school building

School building on Ebersberger Strasse in 1909

The steadily increasing number of female students made it necessary to find new rooms. On June 27, 1905, the city council decided by a large majority to acquire a 4- day-work plot of land on Ebersberger Strasse between the Loreto Chapel and the Capuchin Monastery . The costs for this were 55,000 marks.

After a long planning phase, construction work finally began on July 19, 1907. The total costs, including the purchase of the land, were estimated at 450,000 marks and ultimately amounted to 463,033 marks. The building was largely designed by the then city ​​architect Ferdinand Schlögl. The three-storey “Loreto Schoolhouse” was built in the late Art Nouveau style .

During the excavation work for the new building on the morning of July 23, 1907, a male skeleton was found on the site. Based on the condition and a coin found nearby, it was assumed that the bones had already been there for decades and that the man fell victim to a crime. It is not known whether this could be clarified.

Building equipment

In the basement of the new school building there were mainly utility rooms such as B. Kitchen and laundry room , bathrooms , as well as a heating and ironing room. In addition to normal classrooms , special rooms for music and art lessons were set up on the ground floor . A porter was also accommodated here, as well as a consulting room for visits, as well as the gymnastics , the party and the dining room. The first floor contained further classrooms, the institute chapel , but also living rooms and study rooms and a library. On the second floor there were dormitories and washrooms for the students, as well as a hospital room and the shoe room. The bedrooms, living rooms and washrooms in the attic were reserved for the school sisters and the rest of the staff.

Modern low-pressure steam heating was installed in the entire building . In addition to an electric passenger and freight elevator , a dining elevator from the kitchen to the dining rooms was also planned. In the small tower structure above the chapel a bell was set up. The school also received a park-like school garden.

After just one year of construction, the building was completed in September 1908:

“The splendid house stands perfectly, it adorns the landscape splendidly, it is proudly erected in the green Hag and splendidly carefully executed in all parts and worked out by a diligent managerial hand and the care of many hardworking hands; it forms a treasure chest of the new buildings of the city of Rosenheim, of which the whole community and its residents can rightly be proud of. "

- "Rosenheimer Anzeiger", edition of September 3, 1908

Thus the girls were able to move into the new municipal secondary school with educational institute punctually at the beginning of the 1908/09 school year . It was now maintained by the city of Rosenheim, but still run by the poor school sisters. At that time the school employed 20 teaching nurses and 6 working nurses.

On July 12, 1915, the Queen of Bavaria, Marie Therese , attended the school in its new building.

chapel

The school chapel was primarily used by the sisters, but the pupils also visited it for morning and evening prayer . It was decorated with neo-baroque stucco work by the Munich company Josef Schuler , most of which are still there today. In the school year 1923/24 the chapel was renovated for the first time. The Pasing painter Hans Kögl attached the figurative representations in the stucco medallions, the Rosenheim painter Max Zierer the remaining decorative paintings. A second renovation followed in 1935 when two new angel figures were purchased and the knees were upholstered. The school chapel was used as such until 1938.

Expansion to include a girls' middle school

On September 15, 1916, the school switched to a two-pronged form.

Girls middle school

In the three-class girls' middle school , 12 to 15-year-old girls who had completed secondary school were taught. The curriculum consisted of doing the compulsory subjects German, mathematics, household accounting , history and civics, geography and economic geography, natural history, educational teachings, drawing, crafts, gymnastics and singing. In addition to French as a foreign language, shorthand , bookkeeping and school kitchens were offered as optional subjects .

The school fees to be paid amounted to 40 marks annually as well as 10 to 30 marks in addition for the corresponding elective subjects. In the first school year of 1916, 30 girls began their training in the girls' middle school, which was initially housed in the main building. In the autumn of 1918, the move was made to two newly furnished classrooms in the economic building in the institute's garden. The number of students was now 82.

Lyceum

In the six-class high school for girls of the new order ( Lyzeum ), in addition to the longer training period, there were also generally higher requirements such as a second foreign language . There was also a written final exam from 1925.

Sister Maria Oskar Rambold ran the school from 1921 to 1938. At the end of her directorate, the student body was over 200.

Absolvia Municipal Lyceum Rosenheim

Up until the time of National Socialism and the conformity of the youth associations , there was, as in the other Rosenheim schools, a student association based on an academic model at the secondary school for girls . The Absolvia Städtisches Lyzeum Rosenheim is the only known schoolgirl association that has been handed down. But even with her, the trail is lost in the war years. In 2011 the Absolvia Rosenheim student association , representing all former Rosenheim student associations at all grammar schools in the city of Rosenheim and in the Rosenheim district, was reactivated. However, only male students can join these.

Urban girls high school

After the emergence of the Nazi regime in the German Reich , the poor school sisters' permission to teach was revoked in 1938 and the school was converted into a municipal high school for girls . The lessons were now taken over by teachers loyal to the regime. In the same year the school moved out of the school building on Ebersberger Straße due to the outbreak of World War II . There was then a military hospital , later "Loreto- hospital , transformed". The lessons therefore took place in different locations in the Rosenheim city area. In 1941, the school was expanded into an eight-class full establishment, so that in 1943 the first Abitur certificate could be awarded.

post war period

After the end of the war, school operations were resumed in 1945. Grades 1 to 4 were taught provisionally in the Stollschule on Heilig-Geist-Straße. The following year the school moved again - this time to a building on Prinzregentenstrasse. In addition, by first turning this into the Urban secondary school for girls , and then in 1951 in the Municipal Girls Grammar School Rosenheim to. 9 grade levels were taught here.

Karolinen-Gymnasium Rosenheim

Karoline von Baden, namesake of the school

In 1965 the school was renamed Karolinen-Gymnasium Rosenheim after the first Bavarian Queen Karoline von Baden . The following year the social science branch was introduced.

Move back to the old school building

Although it was initially only a temporary arrangement, the former school building on Ebersberger Strasse housed the so-called “Loreto Hospital ” for a long time , until it was closed on January 28, 1968. The building was then completely renovated, modernized and extended by a new building in the east by 1969. All details of Art Nouveau were removed. Then you could move back to Ebersberger Straße for the 1969/70 school year. In the course of this, the school was completely nationalized. In 1974/75 a school library was also set up.

From 1987 onwards, girls and boys were allowed to teach jointly ( co-education ) and in 1991 the mathematics and science branch was introduced. In 1993 the main building was expanded to include seven more classrooms by building a pavilion . Since 2001, Spanish can be chosen as a so-called "late-beginning foreign language".

Check Help

In November 2011, students and teachers at the Karolinen-Gymnasium Rosenheim started the “KaroHilft” campaign. Together with the partner organization Opportunity International Germany , a school was planned in Ghana . Subsequently, donations were collected for this purpose and in 2012 participating students and teachers traveled to the country to help with the construction of the school building. A total of more than € 76,000 in donations was received. The patron of the campaign was the then mayor of Rosenheim, Gabriele Bauer .

Renovation and expansion

Karolinen High School, 2019

In 2014 the city ​​council decided to commission a feasibility study for an extensive renovation and expansion of the school. The Munich architecture firm commissioned with this suggested three possible variants for the construction project. A decision was made in favor of the so-called "Extension West" because this meant that the school could run largely undisturbed during the construction work.

With this variant, a new school building will initially be built in place of the previous two-fold gymnasium. After its planned completion in 2022, lessons will be relocated to this building and the existing building will be completely renovated. This is to be completely gutted and then equipped with new classrooms, improved fire protection and modern IT and lighting systems. Particular attention is paid to the restoration of the listed auditorium. In the last step, a new triple gymnasium is to be built in place of the east wing from 1969. The previous pavilion will also be demolished in the course of this.

A total of € 53.6 million will be invested. The symbolic groundbreaking ceremony for the construction work took place on March 26, 2019, and six years of construction are planned for the entire measure.

profile

The Karolinen-Gymnasium offers three courses. Around 55% of the students attend the social science branch, around 35% in the scientific and technological branch and around 10% in the language branch. From the fifth grade onwards, English is taught as a compulsory subject , from the sixth grade onwards, depending on the branch, French or Latin can be chosen as a second foreign language. Between the eighth and tenth grades, different subjects are then increasingly taught depending on the branch. In addition, from the tenth grade onwards, the second foreign language can be replaced by Spanish .

The grammar school is a so-called open all-day school . At the request of the parents, students can be looked after all day free of charge even after the end of lessons. The care includes lunch, homework supervision, elective lessons and leisure activities and is organized by the non-profit society for the promotion of professional and social integration mbH Rosenheim on behalf of the Karolinen-Gymnasium.
