The Kreisgymnasium St. Ursula Haselünne (KGH for short) is a general high school that was founded by the Poor Clares . The catchment area of the school, which is run by the district of Emsland , includes the town of Haselünne and the communities of Herzlake , Lähden and Holte-Lastrup .
history
1652 to 1812 - Poor Clares
In 1652 the first Poor Clares settled in Haselünne and began teaching girls. Since the rooms of the monastery soon became too narrow, they began building a new monastery in the new town a short time later. When the monastery and the girls' school were to be closed almost 140 years later, the Haselünner citizens convinced the new sovereign to keep the school and monastery. An important innovation was that schoolgirls who lived in the city and not in the monastery itself could now attend school. However, when the Emsland became French in 1812 , the school was closed.
1854 to 1941 - secondary school for girls
After long negotiations, sisters from the Ursuline monastery in Dorsten came to Haselünne in 1854 and began teaching in the rooms of the former Poor Clare monastery. The school was well received, so that 187 more classrooms had to be added. The school was closed during the Kulturkampf, but 15 years later the nuns and their pupils came back to Haselünne from exile. In the following years the number of students increased. Therefore, numerous buildings were built, including the one built in 1910/1911 with a drawing room and seven classrooms (today's A building).
During the First World War , some rooms within the school were made available to the Red Cross and the training of teachers was abandoned. After the war, the school again adapted to the changing requirements of the time and became an upper lyceum in the reform high school direction.
1941 to 1945 - Napola
The National Socialist rule quickly had negative effects on the school. On July 10, 1941, a house search by the Gestapo ended with the confiscation of the monastery and school, after which the sisters had 24 hours to leave the monastery and town. The National Political Educational Institution "Emsland" moved into the building . Now girls no longer lived in the buildings, but the future "elite" of the Nazi state . Many of the boys joined the SS immediately after leaving school . There was discipline and order. Schoolchildren report on the harsh framework conditions, so that collective penalties for minor offenses against the harsh rules by individuals were more the order of the day. In the course of time, the preparations for war took up more and more space in the curriculum and in the school processes. The students were trained to be soldiers on weapons and attempts were made to prepare for deployment at the front by means of field exercises.
1945 to 1972 - St. Ursula High School
In autumn 1945 the Ursulines began teaching again in some makeshift rooms; The first matriculation examination took place in 1948. In 1964, today's G-building was built. On August 1, 1969, the grammar school for boys was opened, because at that time it was not possible to create a second grammar school for boys in Haselünne. Due to a lack of young religious and the growing demands on the school, the Ursulines handed over the sponsorship of the school to the Emsland district for the school year 1972/1973.
Since 1972
In 1974 the reformed upper level was introduced in Haselünne. In the following years, basic structural measures were necessary to adapt the school to the changed requirements. All buildings with the exception of today's K, A and G buildings were demolished and replaced by new buildings.
