List of the oldest schools in the German-speaking area
This list shows the oldest schools still in existence in German-speaking countries that were founded in the Middle Ages or in the early modern period (up to 1800). It should be noted that the tradition cannot always be fully documented and the continuity can be broken in many ways. The most traditional schools today are almost without exception high schools and go back to institutions of higher education.
Historical school forms
middle Ages
Codex Manesse (fol. 292v, around 1305): Schoolmaster of Esslingen. Depiction of the minstrel as a schoolmaster.
After the end of antiquity with Roman cities in German-speaking countries, monastery schools supported by Benedictine monasticism were the first schools, from the 8th century also cathedral schools . In 789, Charlemagne had issued an ordinance to set up schools in all monasteries and bishoprics. From the 9th to the 12th century, the episcopal schools increasingly opened up to lay people . In the cities, in addition also created pen schools in ecclesiastical and council schools in urban sponsorship . Council schools were mostly Latin schools and as such institutions of higher education, since Latin was the lingua franca of science. So-called "German schools", where instruction was given in the vernacular , were mostly privately organized as clip or angle schools and imparted practically oriented elementary knowledge. The knight academies for the training of the noble offspring no longer have any after-effects .
Early modern age
The medieval school system underwent considerable structural changes through humanism around 1500 and changed fundamentally through the Reformation . In the now Protestant areas, the church schools passed into sovereign or city administration. In the 16th century, numerous Calvinist countries and cities founded a so-called Gymnasium academicum (also called Gymnasium illustrious or high school ), mostly as a princely school , which was supposed to take on the training of the clergy. These institutions often had a quasi-university character, but were not allowed to award academic degrees, as the Emperor did not grant any university privileges to Calvinist schools . There were similar pre-university educational institutions in the learned schools in northern Germany in particular . In order to react to the challenges of Protestantism and especially of the academic high schools , the Jesuit order, founded in 1540 , set up numerous colleges in the course of the Counter Reformation and determined the Catholic school system for two centuries until the order was temporarily dissolved in 1773 under the influence of the Enlightenment.
Modern times
The next major turning point in education took place in the course of secularization as a result of the French Revolution and the subsequent coalition wars , particularly through the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss of 1803. The church schools were now under state administration. Even after the Congress of Vienna in 1815, the schools remained largely under state control. B. fundamentally restructured by the Prussian reforms . Now the humanistic grammar school became the typical institution of higher education. After the establishment of the Empire in 1871, the educational system became increasingly differentiated and schools were built in large numbers. Serious breaks in the continuity of school traditions meant the DC circuit of the school system after the seizure of power of the Nazis in 1933 and after the Second World War, the dissolution of the schools in the GDR in favor of the Extended Secondary School .
