The Theresienschule is a free Roman Catholic high school sponsored by the Archdiocese of Berlin .
history
The Theresienschule was founded in 1894 as a girls' high school on the initiative of the fathers of the Herz-Jesu-Kirche Berlin-Prenzlauer Berg , Schönhauser Allee 182 . In 1897/1898, when the church was rebuilt, the architect Christoph Hehl gave it its own building.
In 1941 the school was closed by the National Socialists and reopened in 1945 by the school sisters of Our Lady , who had come from the Mulhouse convent near Düsseldorf. A resolution by the Allied Command in the spring of 1946 ensured the continued existence of the Theresienschule, which received confirmation from the magistrate six months later as an approved denominational private school . The school was only able to survive as the only Catholic secondary school in the GDR under the most difficult conditions in East Berlin until the political change in 1989/1990 , most recently as a four-class extended secondary school . It was threatened with closure several times because of the state monopoly on education in the GDR .
Since the fall of the Wall , the school has developed into a fully developed coeducational high school . The steadily increasing number of students made it necessary to move to Berlin-Weißensee , Behaimstrasse 29 (next to St. Josef Church) in February 1991 . Since the beginning of the 1991/1992 school year, the school has also been accepting boys. Since 1998/1999 there has been an undergraduate high school, which begins in class 5. The school is attended by Catholic and Protestant as well as non-denominational students. In 2012 the school's new sports hall was inaugurated.
organization
The student council (SV) represents the interests of the students vis-à-vis the school management and in the in-school committees.
A development association has been supporting the school's educational work since 1992.
