history
From 1974 to 1990 the former Benedictine monastery in Ochsenhausen was extensively restored by the state of Baden-Württemberg. The foundation statutes of the state academy for young musicians in Baden-Württemberg are dated October 13, 1987. On September 1, 1990, the state academy was officially put into operation by the then Prime Minister Lothar Späth and began running courses.
In the decades that followed, the State Academy was able to steadily expand its offering. The number of courses and events has more than tripled from 106 in 1991. The number of rooms with upright and / or grand pianos increased from 14 to 23 (as of 2019). The areas of jazz , rock and pop , which were initially not represented , were taken into account in the music-pedagogical advanced training . In addition to music teachers, kindergarten teachers became the target group. The Landesakademie's other offers - including concerts, master courses, international music festivals in summer, rehearsal weekends for amateur and semi-professional music ensembles - were gradually built up and consolidated the current reputation of the Landesakademie as a versatile and professional institution.
Surroundings
Behind the monastery is the former breviary trail of the monks on Klosterwaal , one of the most beautiful hiking trails in Upper Swabia. To the south of the monastery, around a kilometer away, there is an idyllic natural swimming pond.
The Öchsle narrow-gauge railway begins in Ochsenhausen . The world-famous organ builders Joseph Gabler and Höß are sons of the city. The municipal gallery in the Fruchtkasten offers changing exhibitions and the Josef-Gabler-Hauptschule its sports facilities.
