history
Marianum High School
The Ratsgymnasium was founded on November 17, 1637 by the citizens of the city of Wiedenbrück with the consent of the Prince-Bishop of Osnabrück as the Gymnasium Marianum as a high school for boys. The first place of instruction was the so-called “Wippermann House” on the Wiedenbrücker Markt, where the students were initially taught by two teachers in Grammatica, Syntaxis and Rhetorica . Latin was primarily taught to enable students to write verse and prose in classical Latin within five years . At the end of 1639, only 2 years after its opening, the high school was relocated from the Wippermann house on the market to a town house on the church square that had previously belonged to a "Johan Tuman". The relocation was necessary because quarters were needed for the "Colonel Sergeant Remondt". By 1651 the grammar school already had around 50 students, this number remained the average number of students until the beginning of the 20th century.
After the dilapidated building was demolished, a new school building was moved into on Kirchplatz in 1737.
In the course of secularization , the number of students decreased to twelve around 1817. The responsible government in Minden ordered the school to be closed. However, the Wiedenbrücker clergy opposed this in a letter of protest, emphasizing the educational level of the school. In the meantime, in addition to Latin, German and French grammar, poetry and rhetoric as well as the “other scientific subjects” were also part of the curriculum. The protest was successful and the school was allowed to continue. However, the school still had only a very small number of pupils, after the temporary conversion into a citizen school with a Selecta (upper class), the Marianum high school was closed in 1832.
Rector's School
As early as 1837, however, the new opening as Selecta (upper class) took place in connection with the local elementary school. This was again separated from the elementary school in 1857 and continued as a rectorate school under the direction of a spiritual teacher . Your tasks should be to represent the lower secondary school classes , in 30 hours a week religious studies, mathematics, world history, geography, natural history, German, Latin, Greek and French as well as drawing, calligraphy and “singing” were taught.
In 1858 the government provided a new building for the new school on the corner of Lichte Strasse and Himmelreich, which was replaced by a new building in 1868. The boys' elementary school was now housed in the former school building. In 1868, 71 students were taught by 3 teachers in the Rector's School. The school had set itself the goal of enabling the students to transition to the secondary level of an old-language grammar school or a secondary school, so that private Greek and English lessons were offered outside of the regular curriculum. However, Greek was officially included in the curriculum only from 1893 and English from 1918.
In 1906 the Rector's School moved to a newly built school building on Friedhofsweg, which still forms the core of the Ratsgymnasium today. The number of pupils increased here, with an average of 80-100 boys being taught in the years up to 1939. The former school building became the seat of the girls' secondary school (later the Luise Hensel School).
The final examination of the upper tertians was held by the directors of the neighboring Progymnasium or grammar schools in Rietberg ( Progymnasium Nepomucenum ) and Warendorf ( Gymnasium Laurentianum ), so that the students could attend one of the grammar schools without an entrance examination. In 1937 the curriculum was changed so that English was now taught as the first foreign language.
In the school year 1939/40 the Luise-Hensel-Schule (higher girls' school) was closed, from now on boys and girls were taught together at the Rector's School. The elementary school classes that were previously housed in the Rector's School moved to the Luise Hensel School building. In the first school year 102 boys and 56 girls were taught.
After the Second World War , teaching was resumed in 1946. As before 1937, Latin was taught again as the first foreign language. It wasn't until 1966 that English should be offered again as the first foreign language.
Municipal high school / Ratsgymnasium
In 1947 the school, which in the meantime already had a lower secondary school, had to be expanded due to a lack of space. In 1949, the construction of two more classrooms was completed, and three more rooms were added as specialist and conference rooms. In 1955 another extension took place, as the grammar school was to be expanded as a municipal grammar school into a full grammar school. Due to the growing number of pupils (between 1951 and 1965 the number of high school graduates rose from 22 to 37, after the establishment of the full grammar school the number of pupils rose to around 900 in 1980) took place in 1965, 1972, 1982, 2000 and In 2004 further extensions took place. In 1971 the decision was made in favor of the new name Ratsgymnasium , which became legally binding as the Ratsgymnasium Rheda-Wiedenbrück through a council resolution of May 30, 1972 .
