history
Clara Roquette (January 18, 1836– December 12, 1922 in Lübeck), who had nine siblings, founded a girls' school in 1871 at Grosse Burgstrasse 611 (today house number 25) in Lübeck. Five girls attended school in the year it was founded. In 1872 it moved to Glockengießerstraße 271 (today 37). The number of pupils rose to 16. Amélie Roquette (January 25, 1844– July 6, 1918), who had already worked as a teacher in Lübeck and as an educator in Mecklenburg from 1865, teaches like her eldest sister Pauline Roquette (January 25, 1828) –1884) at the school of sister Clara.
As an 18-year-old, Amélie Roquette had studied for a semester at the Königsberg teachers' seminar from her brother-in-law Hermann Lorenz Roquette. She completed the school workload, which was planned for three semesters, in one semester. Hermann Lorenz Roquette had married Minna Roquette, a sister of Clara, Amélie and Pauline Roquette, in 1858. He was a preacher in the French Reformed Church in Königsberg and founded a seminar for teachers there in 1854.
In June 1876, Clara and Amélie Roquette applied to the high school authorities of the city of Lübeck to allow a seminar for teachers at middle and higher girls' schools based on the Prussian model to be added to their school, which had been in existence for several years. In August, approval was given that the seminary could begin at Easter 1877.
The following subjects were taught: religion, pedagogy, German, French, English, history, geography, physics, arithmetic, description of nature and gymnastics.
In 1877, classes began in Glockengießerstrasse. Attendance at a secondary school for girls was a prerequisite. In 1879, the first female graduates took state examinations, which enabled them to teach at secondary and secondary schools for girls.
In 1880 Amélie Roquette took over the management of the facility alone, which trained almost all teachers at Lübeck girls' schools of the time. A total of 266 teachers were prepared for their profession here. From 1886 the daughter's school with a teacher’s seminar was located at Königstraße 15. In 1903, the teacher’s seminar was closed after a state seminar for teachers at middle and higher girls’s schools had been attached to the Ernestinian school in 1902. Amélie Roquette continued the girls' school until 1912, most recently as a “state-licensed secondary school for girls”.
