Gaienhofen Castle - Evangelical School on Lake Constance is a school center in Gaienhofen in the district of Konstanz in Baden-Württemberg . The school was founded in 1946 as a boarding school on the site of the high medieval castle Schloss Gaienhofen . Today it includes the Ambrosius-Blarer-Gymnasium with a general education branch and a business high school as well as a secondary school . The all-day school is officially recognized and has a church educational mandate.
location
The castle was built on the Höri peninsula on the edge of the shore on Lake Constance . The location was strategically chosen directly on the Untersee , where Lake Constance narrows towards the Rhine .
history
The roots of the school center go back to the German state educational home for girls , which was moved from Stolpe am Wannsee to Gaienhofen in 1904 . The first boy was accepted into the boarding school, which until then had only been attended by girls, in 1933. In the chaos of the Second World War , there were no regular school lessons.
Then in 1946 the school association of the Evangelical Boarding School (today the school foundation of the Evangelical Church in Baden ) took over the sponsorship and responsibility for the boarding school of the Evangelical Boarding School at Gaienhofen Castle . Under the new sponsorship, students of both Protestant and Catholic denominations were accepted, including many refugee children. In 1951 the first class of high school graduates left school.
In 1952 the Evangelical Regional Church acquired the castle, which had been privately owned until then. In the period that followed, the boarding school grew and, in addition to the school campus, also used several buildings in the community, with the homes being separated by gender and age.
The general education Ambrosius-Blarer-Gymnasium was expanded in 2009 by a business high school and in 2011 by an initially single-class secondary school.
With the closure of the boarding school in 2013, the school was renamed Schloss Gaienhofen - Evangelical School on Lake Constance .
