Konvikt Glatz
The Konvikt in Glatz (also Jesuit Convict Glatz ) in Glatz , the capital of the County of Glatz , was established as a Catholic educational institution together with the Latin School in 1365 with the permission of the Prague Bishop Johann Očko von Wlašim . After the transfer of most of Silesia to Poland in 1945 as a result of World War II, the buildings were restored from 1976 to 1986. Since then they have housed the Museum of the Kłodzko Land ( Muzeum Ziemi Kłodzkiej ).
history
After the first Prague Archbishop Ernst von Pardubitz had donated the Glatzer Augustinian Canons' Monastery in 1349 , his successor Johann Očko von Wlašim approved the Augustinians to run a Latin school in 1365, which was to be combined with a Konvikt for foreign students. In 1597 the Augustinian possessions of Glatzer were handed over to the Glatzer Jesuit College with papal approval . The Jesuits expanded the Latin school they had taken over into a grammar school, for which they purchased a building on the Schlossberg and a nearby house for the Konvikt, in which 32 pupils lived in 1617. The school and Konvikt were near the Augustinian monastery below the castle hill .
After the class uprising of 1618, the Jesuits had to leave Glatz. Most of the Jesuit possessions were destroyed in 1622 in the fighting between the imperial and the insurgents after the Battle of White Mountain . In 1623 the Jesuits were allowed to return to Glatz and initially received the house of the mayor Matthias Scholz for the Konvikt, from whom it had been confiscated because of his participation in the uprising of 1618. In 1627 the convent already accommodated 30 students. After further neighboring properties were acquired, the Konvikt was rebuilt in 1664 according to a design by the Italian master builder Carlo Lurago . Construction management was the responsibility of the builders Andrea Carove and August Reinsperger. The ensemble was completed after 1690. In 1753/54 the Konvikt was built around a church dedicated to St. Chapel dedicated to Aloisius von Gonzaga expanded.
The management of the Konvikt was incumbent on the head of the seminar, who was called Regens ( regens seminarii ). The last rain of the Jesuits was Sebastian Hertle, who died in 1773. After that, the respective religious teacher at the grammar school was head of the Konvikt. Already in 1742 Glatz was with the county Glatz after the First Silesian War and finally in 1763 after Hubertusburg of Prussia fallen. After the abolition of the Jesuit order in 1773, the Konvikt was renamed "Seminar of the Royal School Institute". After the school institute was closed in 1800, the proceeds from the sale of the Konvikt went to the Catholic University Fund at the Breslau Provincial School College .
