The Kneiphöfische Gymnasium (also: Kneiphöfsches Gymnasium as well as Domgymnasium or Cathedral School ) in Königsberg in Prussia was the oldest school in East Prussia . The school buildings were always located near the Königsberg Cathedral in the eponymous district of Kneiphof .

history

The grammar school, founded as a cathedral school , was first mentioned in 1304 ( schola cathedralis ). In 1333 it was moved to the Kneiphof north of the cathedral. In 1528, due to the Reformation, the school was subordinated to the city council and in 1534 it was converted into a Protestant school for scholars . The educational goals were: pietas , sapientia and eloquentia , d. H. Piety, wisdom and expression. In 1554 there was a student protest against the appointment of the Rector Campinge, and the school was occupied. In 1560 the school moved to the south side of the cathedral. In 1810 it was converted into a higher middle school. On November 1, 1831, it became a humanistic grammar school with a high school diploma as part of the Königsberg school plan .

Kneiphof high school with Artushof

In 1862 the grammar school was relocated to a new building at the location in the northeast of Kneiphof , which had become vacant when the Königsberg University moved. On January 6, 1923, it merged with the old town high school to form the town high school Altstadt-Kneiphof. The school building of the combined grammar school was that of the Kneiphöfischen grammar school.

During the bombing raid on 29./30. August 1944 the building burned down completely. In October 1944, the makeshift school operation was resumed and took place in a replacement building for the two humanistic high schools (Stadtgymnasium and Friedrichskollegium). On January 23, 1945, all schools in the city were closed by an official order; so the Kneiphöfische Gymnasium ceased to exist.

The color of the school was blue-silver-blue.
