history
Beginnings
In 1402 a Carthusian monastery was founded in the former collegiate monastery for secular priests . The Carthusians named their monastery Maria Saal (House of Mary). This later gave rise to the name Marianum .
In 1803 the monastery was secularized and became the property of the Counts of Ostheim. In 1810, Count Waldbott von Bassenheim became the new owners of the monastery complex; the monastery became a castle. After the bankruptcy of the Count Waldbott von Bassenheim family, the Bavarian state acquired large parts of the monastery complex and the Buxheim Imperial Charterhouse in 1916 .
In 1926 the Salesians of Don Bosco initially acquired the priory building from the Bavarian state, which had served as a palace for the Count Waldbott von Bassenheim family after the monastery was dissolved . The newly acquired house became a training center for late callers, young working men who intended to become priests. Extensive renovation and repair work was necessary. The Fathers received a wagon full of furniture from Fulpmes in Tyrol, including school desks for 35 pupils, 40 chairs and the most essential paraments for the chapel. In 1926 the school and boarding school began with 36 late-calling students.
In 1927 the Marianum, which had previously been a branch of the Munich Salesianerhaus, became independent. This year the library hall and the associated chapel were acquired and renovated. On 21 June 1927 the Solemnity of the Salesian Mary Help of Christians took place the blessing of the chapel. On July 6, 1927, the first year of school was over.
National Socialism and World War II
After the seizure of power in 1933, the school policy of the National Socialist state turned against the church private schools. In 1937 the Marianum was closed on the instructions of the National Socialist regime. Until further notice, the Salesians were allowed to look after the Roman Catholic parishes as part of pastoral care and youth care on the Bavarian and Württemberg side of the Iller .
On December 1, 1942, the building was rented by the head of the Reichsleiter and chief party ideologist of the NSDAP, Alfred Rosenberg . The Einsatzstab Reichsleiter Rosenberg was an art theft organization during the Second World War , which was under the direction of Rosenberg and the foreign policy office of the NSDAP , which he led. From this point on there were no direct air attacks on the communities of Buxheim. Objects of art of the Wehrmacht from occupied France came into the premises of the area . After Buxheim became part of the American zone after the end of the war in 1945 , the Americans returned 28 railway wagons of stolen objects to their previous owners in France. A total of 1.5 million railway wagons with looted property were transported through Rosenberg to Germany.
All the misery of the war now reached the old monastery. No longer looted art, but displaced persons and refugees found shelter in the former monastery.
post war period
In 1947 the school was completely renovated and made habitable. The school year began with 41 students. Not only late-callers, but also regular students were accepted. In 1954, the late vocational high school moved from Benediktbeuern to Buxheim. From 1947 to 1964 the Marianum was a state-recognized Progymnasium up to the 10th grade. The upper school of Benediktbeuern was moved to Buxheim in 1964. The Marianum received the Abitur right and was now a state-recognized humanistic full high school.
In 1971 it was converted into a modern language grammar school. English became the first foreign language and Latin was downgraded to the second foreign language; Greek was replaced by French. From the same year, day care students were also accepted. In 1976, the fiftieth anniversary was celebrated in the presence of the Augsburg Bishop Josef Stimpfle .
In 1980 the Marianum was opened to external students; In 1983 it was opened to girls; In 1985 a mathematical and scientific branch of the grammar school was introduced. On April 26, 1996, the school organization of the Diocese of Augsburg took over the sponsorship of the Marianum. The boarding school was closed at the end of the 2011 school year.
Since 2011, the Marianum has consisted of a grammar school with a day care center run by the Schulwerk of the Diocese of Augsburg with a mathematical, technological and modern language branch for boys and girls. The Salesians of Don Bosco continued to be represented in the Marianum with a branch of the religious order until it was closed in August 2020.
Concept and direction
The grammar school does not want to be an institution for imparting material in a value-neutral manner. The focus in the education of young people is placed on four areas:
- discovering and developing one's own individual skills,
- the training of different skills,
- the experience of relationships and growing into the community,
- asking and searching for what gives meaning to life.
The grammar school offers two courses as part of an eight-year grammar school:
- Scientific and technological direction
- Linguistic direction
Da mihi animas caetera great (Latin for give me souls, take everything else ) is written on the archway at the entrance of the Marianum. This was the first sentence of Johannes Bosco , the founder of the Salesians , in 1841 .
