history
The school, which opened in 1735, is the second oldest school in Schwerin after the cathedral school and the oldest Catholic school in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. It is sponsored by the Bernostiftung and was named after the Catholic priest, doctor, anatomist and geologist Nicolaus Steno , who spent the last year of his life as a pastor in Schwerin.
After the founding of the Catholic school in 1735, the Proseminar (Latin School) was launched in 1739 . The first school regulations were in place around 1740. A boarding school was built for the proseminar in 1750, but the proseminar was closed in 1788. The so-called German school remained. In 1839 a new schoolhouse was built in the rectory of the Provost Church of St. Anna . About a year later the institution was divided into a girls ' and boys' school . In 1871 the school became a higher middle school . The Catholic schools in Mecklenburg and Holstein met from 1879 for joint teachers' conferences. In 1905 the new school building in Klosterstrasse was inaugurated. The Nazi state arbitrarily closed the school in 1939, and the new rulers refused to reopen the school even after the end of the Second World War in 1945. It was not until 1994 that the Catholic school was reopened as the Niels Stensen School (elementary school). In 1999 a new school building was inaugurated in Feldstadt. In 2006 the regional school and the grammar school were opened.
With the support of the Archdiocese of Hamburg, the Bernostiftung has invested around ten million euros in the renovation and building of a new school. The building permit from 2010 was followed by the laying of the foundation stone in October 2011 and the topping-out ceremony in February 2012. In 2012 the secondary part of the school was housed in the refurbished Wilhelminian style building and in the adjacent new building. In 2019, the sixth graduate class and the eighth graduate class with secondary school leaving certificate.
building
The three-storey, listed, clinkered school building was built around 1881 as a municipal boys' school according to plans by the builder Tischbein. The U-shaped house in the Wilhelminian style on the corner of Karl-Liebnecht-Platz is characterized by a four-storey gable and a narrow side gable. The two lower floors have wide window elements facing the street fronts to the classrooms. Above this, the facade is more easily structured by three round-arched individual windows between the pilaster strips . From the early 1990s to 2005 there was a vocational school here.
The three-storey school building on Feldstrasse dates from the 1960s. It has been used as a private Catholic primary school since 1994 and a two-storey extension was added in 1999.
In 2006 the Bernostiftung bought the property on Karl-Liebknecht-Platz. She built a central building of up to six stories in the schoolyard according to plans by Roland Schulz (Schwerin) with u. a. the specialist rooms, the auditorium and a cafeteria. At the same time, the old building was renovated and the gymnasium was rebuilt. In the school center, which was completed in 2012, 550 pupils were then taught.
