The Liebfrauenschule Oldenburg (LFS) is a high school founded in 1888 in Oldenburg under Catholic sponsorship. 780 students are taught by 55 teachers at the school.
history
The school was founded on May 1, 1888 by the Congregation of the Sisters of Our Lady in a rented apartment on Auguststrasse in Oldenburg as a secondary school for girls that was connected to a preschool for boys. In 1903, in view of the number of 100 students, the nearby property on Auguststrasse 31 was acquired, on which the so-called "old building" of the school stands today. For the 25th anniversary of the school, the Prussian and Oldenburg authorities recognized the school as a lyceum . So the school was considered a school for Higher daughters , which the here high school could obtain. At the same time, the school adopted its current name. At that time, the school had 13 nuns and about the same number of secular teachers, 150 students and 50 students.
One month before the 50th anniversary could be celebrated, the Oldenburg Minister of Churches and Schools, Julius Pauly , who had previously been noticed in the so-called Kreuzkampf , ordered the school to be closed on March 31, 1938. The school building was converted into a women's dormitory.
Teaching was resumed at Easter 1946. Ulrike Meinhof, who later became a founding member of the RAF, attended the school from 1946 to 1952 . In 1950 the school's qualifications were again recognized by the state and in 1951 all six years of a high school were again achieved. In 1954 a number of 300 students was reached. In contrast to the time before the war , however, only school girls were taught. At that time, the school building was still partially inhabited privately, the class size was sometimes 50 students. In 1956 the school was recognized by a decree as a private modern language Progymnasium for girls. In the early 1960s, two neighboring properties were acquired in order to build new buildings. On October 20, 1965, today's main building of the Liebfrauenschule was inaugurated and in 1965 the first 11th grade moved into the upper level of the school history.
At the beginning of the 1970s, the fifth and sixth grades were dropped due to the introduction of the orientation level , but at the same time pupils were taught again, the upper level was restructured in accordance with the agreement of the state culture ministers from 1972. By 1979 the school had developed into a seven-year, coeducational full high school with a reformed upper level. In the spring of 1979, the leadership of the Congregation of Our Lady and the Episcopal Official in Vechta , Auxiliary Bishop Max-Georg Freiherr von Twickel , took over the sponsorship of the school through a new local school fund to be set up by the official and subordinate to it. The background was a lack of personnel in the order and the desire to still want to maintain a Catholic high school. A convent of sisters remained and some of the nuns still lived in the old school building.
In the first three years under the new sponsorship, the number of pupils grew to 630. Due to the associated shortage of space, a neighboring plot of land in Haareneschstrasse was acquired in 1983 and construction of a building for a gym and six classrooms began there in May 1984 and in February Completed in 1985. This building is known as the "H building". In 1992 the living quarters of the sisters were refurbished and the three remaining sisters moved into new ones, in 1998 they moved into a residential building belonging to the order. In 2001 the school was expanded to include rooms for music lessons. In 2003, as part of the re-dissolution of the orientation level in Lower Saxony , a fifth class was opened again. Since 2004, there has been a continuous grammar school for grades 5 to 13 with around 55 full-time teachers with around 780 students. By 2004, 1,839 high school graduates had graduated from the school.
Educational concept
The Liebfrauenschule feels obliged to a Christian world responsibility, an expression of this should be a "one world shop" in the school building, but also the choice of a partner school in Tanzania .
In addition, the school has been strongly musically oriented since 1991 and has a correspondingly musically shaped school life. The school therefore has a musical branch. The condition for acceptance into this branch is the willingness to learn at least one musical instrument and to participate in a music group. Students in this branch receive four weekly lessons in music, two theory lessons and two hours of musical instrument lessons in the class orchestra.
The most striking expression of the musical direction was the children's opera "Brundibar", which was produced in 1998. The opera was performed in front of 400 spectators during the celebrations for the 40th anniversary of the " Action Reconciliation Service for Peace " in Berlin. This was followed in 2000 with a new line-up on a tour of Europe organized by " Jeunesses Musicales ", on which soloists and choirs from the school accompanied by members of the World Youth Orchestra , eight performances in Copenhagen , Lund , Oslo , Amsterdam , Paris , Barcelona , Brussels and London aligned. The musical direction also led to a school partnership with a Czech grammar school in Břeclav and the Sophie Barat School in Hamburg.
Partner schools
There is a partnership with the Askofu Adrian Mkoba Secondary School in Mzumbe , a Tanzanian village.
