The Rhabanus-Maurus-Gymnasium St. Ottilien is a state-recognized church high school sponsored by the Schulwerk of the Diocese of Augsburg . The school is named after the Bishop of Mainz , Rhabanus Maurus .

The humanistic grammar school with a modern language branch has around 700 students and repeatedly passed the grade tests of the Bavarian Ministry of Culture and the federal mathematics competition as one of the best grammar schools in Bavaria . On the basis of the Rule of St. Benedict, the focus is on a Benedictine-holistic education and upbringing concept, in which, in addition to linguistic, scientific-technological as well as musical and religious education are of great importance. The school is known in the region for its circus project, which is held every four years in cooperation with the St. Ottilien Archabbey and has attracted around 15,000 visitors to the site since 1991.

location

The Rhabanus-Maur-high school is located in Santa Ottilie , a convent of Benedictine in Upper Bavaria district Landsberg am Lech (near the Ammersee ). It belongs to the municipality of Eresing .

history

The grammar school was originally founded in 1886/1887 as a mission seminar, that is, a boarding school for boys only for the training of the convent offspring, after schools for the training of mission pupils were approved as a special school form in the context of German colonial policy after the Kulturkampf . The students not only mastered the curriculum that was customary at the time, but were also specifically prepared for their task as missionaries .

During the Second World War , the school was closed because a church school was a thorn in the side of those in power. The buildings served as a field hospital and after the war as a reception center for displaced persons .

The grammar school has also been open to girls since 1973 and since then has also had a modern language branch and a day care center. The school was supported and financed by the St. Ottilien Monastery until 1976, and the school organization of the Diocese of Augsburg is now a school sponsor. Due to the church sponsorship, attendance at religious education is compulsory. Catholic and Protestant students attend classes appropriate to their denomination.
