The St. Sebastian College is a general educational Catholic grammar school in Stegen near Freiburg .
history
In December 1928, the religious order of the Sacred Heart Priests leased the house and the grounds of the former Schloss von Stegen . It was a branch of the order's own study house in Freiburg, agricultural business and novitiate house . Under the direction of the rector, Father Franz Konrad Schuster (1883–1945), the castle was expanded in 1933 to become the " Missionshaus Stegen", a school for later vocations . In 1936 the school was closed by the National Socialists.
During the war the monastery served as a home for religious, for evacuated orphans from the Ruhr area and - especially after the bombing of Freiburg on November 27, 1944 - as a refuge for numerous bomb victims. During this time, Father Heinrich Middendorf was the rector of the house. He brought in some Jewish fellow citizens, kept their identity a secret and thus saved them from persecution by the National Socialists. In 1994 Father Middendorf was posthumously honored for his courage by the Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial in Israel as Righteous Among the Nations - an honor that was bestowed on a German Catholic priest for the first time.
After the Second World War, school operations were resumed in September 1945 as the "Missionsschule Haus Stegen" and in 1952 it was recognized by the state as an old-language Progymnasium . School barracks were built due to lack of space, and in 1953/54, under the rector Father Georg Haskamp, the first new school building with a boarding school was built in close spatial connection to the castle. In the years 1959 to 1961, the building complex was expanded to include the parish church of the Heart of Jesus, based on the designs of the Freiburg architect Gregor Schroeder . Under the rector Father B. Nienhaus , a new school building was built in 1966 on the site of the old economy building , which was demolished for this purpose, Collegiate Building I. On April 1, 1966, the Catholic school received permission to run a full grammar school and was named after the patron the neighboring castle chapel was renamed “Kolleg St. Sebastian”. In May 1968, female students were also admitted for the first time. The new school building was expanded to include college building II in 1974 and college building III in 1977.
The boarding school was closed in 1997 and homework support was expanded. The students have the opportunity to have lunch followed by supervised learning. On January 1st, 1998, the religious order handed over the high school college St. Sebastian to the school foundation of the Archdiocese of Freiburg . Since the 2012/2013 school year, the college has been expanded to include a single secondary school.
