Social University Leohaus

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Social University Leohaus was a private Catholic " adult education center " in Munich that existed from 1919 to 1994, and from 1920 in Kochel am See .

history

The predecessor was the Leohaus, the headquarters of Catholic social associations founded in 1915 , which bundled all Catholic social associations in Bavaria and became the headquarters of the southern German association of Catholic workers' associations .

This resulted in the Leohaus Social University in 1919 , which existed until 1994. The purpose of the college was to prepare working Catholic women and men for jobs in Christian trade unions and Catholic social associations. 20- to 35-year-old members from Catholic social associations were preferred. The courses took place from October / November to March / April. In 1920 the school moved to Kochel am See . Personalities like Karl Arnold or the Bavarian labor minister Hans Schütz and the social minister Paul Strenkert completed an apprenticeship at the Leohaus.

It was named after Pope Leo XIII. who published the encyclical Rerum novarum in 1891 .
