history
Its foundation goes back to the "Maria Ward Sisters" who, accompanied by the court chaplain of the Electress of Bavaria, came from Munich on September 1, 1733 in Fulda. The English Misses had their first domicile in the middle of the block of houses Buttermarkt, Schweinemarkt, Heilegass and Kasernengäßchen where they founded the Marienschule as an institute for the English Misses with 146 pupils and two years later opened the boarding school with initially 13 girls. Her educational work, teaching the girls arithmetic, reading, music, fine handicrafts and foreign languages - especially Latin - was closely connected with teaching the faith.
On two occasions there were forced breaks in school activity. During the so-called Kulturkampf from 1877 to 1888, the school and boarding school had to be closed and the sisters had to emigrate to Hungary . When the English ladies returned, they bought a garden on the corner of Lindenstrasse and Nikolausstrasse and had a new monastery built according to plans by master builder Rühl, which they moved into in autumn 1890. During the Nazi regime , the school was ordered to close in 1938. However, a few months after the end of the Second World War , classes were resumed on October 15, 1945 with almost 600 students. Since there was a lack of young nurses and in order to secure the future of the school, the "Foundation Marienschule Fulda" was established on January 1st, 1997.
At the end of the 2014/2015 school year, following the decision of the provincial administration of the Maria Ward Order to close the branch in Fulda, the last three sisters living and working in the school were adopted. Thus, after more than 282 years, the presence of the Maria Ward Sisters in Fulda ended.
