The Marienau e. V. (until 2018 Landerziehungsheim Schule Marienau ) in the Marienau district of the municipality of Dahlem is a state-recognized private high school and boarding school. The boarding high school was founded in 1923 by reform pedagogue Max Bondy and his wife Gertrud as a school community, initially in Gandersheim as a rural education home . The boarding school moved to Gut Marienau in 1929 .
Boarding school
Today the boarding school is a state-recognized high school with all-day care , which has been run as a boarding and day school by Heike Elz since 2008. The Marienau school is a UNESCO project school , a member of “ Die Internate Vereinigung e. V. "And belongs to the working group" Free Schools Lower Saxony e. V. “. Today (2019) the school has a capacity of 265 student places, of which approx. 140 boarding places, approx. 70 external students and approx. 55 day home students. The average class size is 16, the upper limit 22 students.
The Marienau school is surrounded by over 80 hectares of forest, meadows, courtyards and buildings. Structurally developed from a former manor, today numerous buildings with modern architecture form a unit. The campus is centered around the main building including the main building and the school's own pond. The various functions - living, school, boarding rooms, workshops, dining room and utility rooms - are deliberately closely interlinked. The boarding school students live in small living areas in different houses on the school and boarding school premises and are looked after by educational staff, so-called "Gangeltern". Twin rooms are available for the lower level and single rooms for the upper level.
It has been a UNESCO project school since 2003 and is committed to the values within the framework of the UNESCO Charter and Constitution . That means: Marienau feels particularly committed to the values of the UNESCO Charter and Constitution regarding human rights, international peaceful understanding, minority protection, tolerance, environmental education and intercultural learning. Everyday upbringing aims to anchor the idea of a peaceful and tolerant world in the minds of children and young people. The boarding school uses various occasions to experience the UNESCO idea in practice, for example the UNESCO project week and student exchanges. It is part of the Marienau school program to get to know foreign cultures, countries and people.
Educational concept
The slogan of the Marienau school is: "We live school". Lessons take place in small classes with an average of 16 students in order to ensure that the students receive individual attention. Pedagogy combines the acquisition of school and social skills. In this sense, the school also combines class trips with an educational background and stays abroad with the lessons. Marienau sees dealing with digital media as an opportunity and enrichment, but at the same time also as a challenge. The aim is to impart comprehensive knowledge, social skills and a sound education to children and young people in an intact, international environment.
The lessons at the Marienau School are based on the core curricula of the State of Lower Saxony , in addition to which the different grades focus on content. Latin, French and Spanish are offered as foreign languages.
Beyond class
In addition to the school education, there is an extensive range of working groups (AGs).
The offer includes sports such as climbing, golf, tennis and boxing, musical offers, creative working groups, gardening activities or working groups on socially relevant topics. Three times a week there is a "horse club" with the school's own horses , in which the youngsters can learn the basics of equine science under qualified guidance.
network
Essential components of this network are the Altmarienauer Verein e. V. (AMV) and the non-profit foundation Marienau. Both partners work closely with the Marienau School and enable it to award scholarships . As a UNESCO project school, Marienau seeks exchange with other institutions and regularly participates in the national UNESCO project days. Since 2015 the Marienau School has been using various campaigns to support the BARADA Syrienhilfe e. V. to support their work in the crisis area. In May 2017, the boarding high school took up a sponsorship with the Syrian AMAL school, an educational institution in the Athme refugee camp on the Turkish-Syrian border .
history
Reform educational founding time
Today's Marienau School was founded in 1923 by the couple Max Bondy (1892–1951) and Gertrud Bondy, b. Wiener (1889–1977), founded in Gandersheim. At Easter 1929 the "school community Gandersheim " moved to the vicinity of Bondy's hometown Hamburg: From then on it called itself the "school community at Gut Marienau" and was one of the boldest and most "modern" school experiments of the time in the context of the rural education centers . The profile of “progressive modernity” and internationality of the Bondy School is certainly also directly related to the intellectual provenance of its founders: Max and Gertrud Bondy both came from an upper-class, non - Orthodox Jewish family, and their parents' homes in Hamburg and Prague were centers of contemporary culture Confrontation.
time of the nationalsocialism
After Adolf Hitler's appointment as Reich Chancellor on January 30, 1933 and the subsequent so-called “ seizure of power ”, the existence of the school was already in danger. When it was finally attacked as a Jewish school , Max Bondy's permission to continue running the school was also withdrawn on April 1, 1937. His property was expropriated under the National Socialist Reich government . The Bondy couple had meanwhile emigrated to Switzerland with their three children. In Gland they had taken over the former Quaker school Les Rayons to continue the Marienau tradition there.
In Bondy's place, Bernhard Knoop took over the management of the boarding school on April 2, 1937, in agreement with the National Socialist Reich government. He had previously worked as a teacher in the Schondorf am Ammersee educational home .
Post-war Germany
From 1946 to 1969, Knoop and his second wife Anneliese Knoop-Graf ran the Marienau Rural Educational Home, significantly more conservative than the Bondys and with a strong external similarity to the Schondorf Rural Educational Home. The focus was still on a high level arts education. During this time the school developed into one of the leading boarding schools in post-war Germany . Knoop's successors as headmaster were initially Hans Däumling, the ministerial director Hans Deneke and finally Günter Fischer, who saw theater work as his educational focus. In the period of the first interregnum in 1970/71, a non-profit sponsoring association was founded, which to this day serves directly and exclusively to promote upbringing and education.
Hasenclever era and coming to terms with the Bondy era
From 1986 to 1999 Wolf-Dieter Hasenclever headed the Marienau School. He had previously been the director of studies at the Urspring School . Under him, the local reappraisal of the anti-Semitism era under the National Socialist Reich government began . Exchange programs with Jewish students from Israel and joint study trips to German concentration and extermination camps were developed in terms of prevention and educational education. In addition, the memory of the founders and reform pedagogues Max and Gertrud Bondy was honored and cherished for the first time and their descendants, especially the Roeper family, were invited to Marienau.
Under Hasenclever's direction - on the initiative of the old school students - the 'Bondy House' was built in 1989/90, which also houses the school archive, and which - despite the specific history - now contains a lot of historical material from former students and the Bondy-Roeper family from USA.
As the successor to Wolf-Dieter Hasenclever, the focus of the boarding school gradually changed from 1999 to 2005 under the direction of Heike Thies. In 2003 it became a UNESCO project school and developed relationships with the Christian moshav Nes Ammim and the Arab school Dar As-Salam in Israel. Axel Schmidt-Scherer followed her as headmaster.
