The Fürst-Johann-Ludwig-Schule (FJLS) is a cooperative comprehensive school with the branches Hauptschule, Realschule and Gymnasium in Hadamar in the Hessian district of Limburg-Weilburg . With around 1,600 students, it is one of the largest schools in Hessen. The school program places a special emphasis on musical education.
School profile
The Fürst-Johann-Ludwig-Schule is mainly attended by students from the town of Hadamar and its districts in its secondary and secondary school branch, and in the secondary school branch mainly by students from the surrounding communities of Elz , Dornburg , Waldbrunn and Elbe Valley . To a lesser extent, pupils from some parts of the municipality of Beselich , from Hundsangen in Rhineland-Palatinate and from the Limburg district of Offheim also attend the grammar school branch.
In addition to teaching, the school offers around 30 working groups. In keeping with the tradition of the neighboring boarding school of the Limburger Domsingknaben , the school attaches particular importance to musical training. There is a continuous music class in all grades of the high school branch, several choirs, a big band and the school band "Teacher's Despair".
In the so-called “Hadamar model”, municipal youth work was closely linked to school social work for the first time in Hesse in 1998. This close cooperation between the school, the local authority and the district was taken over by other schools in the following years.
Partnerships exist with the Collège Jean Rostand in Hadamar's twin town Bellerive-sur-Allier and with the Queen Elizabeth Grammar School in Blackburn . A support association and an alumni association support the work of the school.
history
There is evidence of a Latin school in Hadamar as early as 1552. The Fürst-Johann-Ludwig-Schule traces its tradition back to the Jesuit school founded by its namesake in 1638, initially as a court school and in 1652 in a separate building . For the period from 1680 to 1711, up to 250 pupils are recorded annually, including up to 50 noble pupils.
In 1779, the higher education in Hadamar was stopped due to the prohibition of the Jesuit order and only resumed temporarily in 1792 by secular clergy. In 1823 the school moved to Hadamar Castle . In 1844 a high school was set up. Since then there has been a school in the city again, the degree of which allows students to attend a university. Only during the “Third Reich” was the upper school closed from 1939, but reopened in December 1945 after the end of the war. As early as 1948 the school was temporarily called "Fürst-Johann-Ludwig-Schule".
The school retained a distinctly Catholic character well into the 20th century. Numerous clergy, religious and theologians emerged from the student body.
In 1971 the new school building was erected on the Wingertsberg outside the city of Hadamar and 2,100 students moved into it. The high school as well as the secondary and secondary schools in the city were combined there. Shortly afterwards the school was named after the founder of the Jesuit school.
In the mid-1980s, more than 2500 pupils attended the Fürst-Johann-Ludwig-Schule. It was temporarily the largest school in Hessen. Until the end of the Limburger Domsingknaben boarding school in 2007, the residents of the boarding school attended the Fürst-Johann-Ludwig-Schule. From 2007 to 2011 the school building was extensively renovated for an investment of almost ten million euros.
