Today's building of the Max-Josef-Stift in Mühlbaurstrasse

The Max-Josef-Stift (formerly: Max-Joseph-Stift , Maximilians-Stift ) is a state high school for girls with a boarding school and a day care center in Munich 's Bogenhausen district . The school was founded on May 27, 1813 by King Maximilian I Joseph as the “Royal Educational Institution for Daughters of Higher Classes”. In addition, the former school building on Ludwigstrasse (today Professor-Huber-Platz ), built by Friedrich von Gärtner , is known as the Max-Joseph-Stift.

On the history of the school and its buildings

The model for the establishment of the school was the Maisons d'éducation de la Légion d'honneur , boarding schools for girls for the daughters of the French Legionnaires in Écouen and Saint-Denis, founded by Napoleon in the early 19th century . Under the influence of enlightenment concepts, which in Bavaria was personified in particular by the Foreign and Interior Minister Maximilian von Montgelas , the state created a secondary school for girls in Munich, which was initially called Maximilians Stift. The school was financed mainly through the English Fräulein's fortune , which had been expropriated in the course of secularization . Initially, the Maximilians-Stift was even supposed to move into the building of the closed school of the English Fräulein, which the state had taken over; that did not happen, however. Conceived as a secondary school for girls , it was directly subordinate to Montgelas as Minister of the Interior. The first headmistress was Thérèse Chardoillet, previously a teacher at the girls' boarding school for daughters of the Legion of Honor in Écouen.

The teaching staff consisted of state officials . The curriculum differed from the closed church schools only in that foreign languages ​​took up more space; Languages ​​and religion were sometimes taught by male high school teachers . At first most subjects were taught in French, at least until 1830, when Chardoillet's directorate ended. At the beginning 60 students were accepted. At that time the facility was only open to girls from the nobility , officer corps and higher civil service, regardless of denomination (both Catholics and Lutherans were allowed).

Between 1837 and 1841, Friedrich von Gärtner built a new building on Ludwigstrasse in Munich that housed the school for almost a hundred years. In 1856 the girls' school was given the name “Max-Joseph-Stift” by decision of the Bavarian King Maximilian II ; Gärtner's school building is still known by this name today. In 1938, however, the National Socialists took possession of the building and the surrounding property. The new building of the House of German Law was built on the ground ; the Max-Joseph-Stift was included in the planning. The school moved to its current schoolhouse in Bogenhausen, Mühlbaurstrasse 15. After the beginning of the Second World War , teaching was discontinued and a hospital was housed in the Bogenhausen schoolhouse. In 1946 the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration (UNRRA) took over the house and operated a hospital for survivors of the German concentration camps . The school lessons of the Max-Josef-Stift took place in the Abbey of Beuerberg during this time . When the hospital was closed in 1951, the school returned to Bogenhausen. In the old Max-Joseph-Stift on Ludwigstrasse there are now facilities of the Law Department of the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität in Munich .

Today about 650 schoolgirls visit the Max-Josef-Stift. The day care center has about 110 places, the boarding school about 65 places.

  • Tutors: In the school years, tutors from the upper level supervise the 5th grade by offering them afternoon events such as school quizzes, going to the cinema, ice skating or doing handicrafts together.
