history

Former Latin school in Ravensburg

A Latin teacher (scolasticus) for Ravensburg is mentioned for the first time as early as 1220 . In 1351 there was a Latin school in the building at Kirchstrasse 25 by the Liebfrauen parish church. According to the first known appointment contract of 1528, the schoolmaster was in the city service at that time. The humanist Johannes Susenbrot taught there from 1534 to 1542 .

With the Reformation in Ravensburg 1546–1548 there was a separation of the types of school according to denominations with a Catholic Latin school and a Protestant German elementary school. The teaching method of the Jesuits prevailed in Latin schools in the 16th century, with religious instruction and music playing a large role. Of the classical trivium , only grammar was taught and there were rudimentary ancient Greek lessons.

After the Thirty Years' War , efforts were made to convert the Latin school into an equal school due to the numerical parity of denominations in the city. However, in 1662 this led to the establishment of a separate Catholic secondary school in the monastery of the Carmelite Order , so that there were two denominational secondary schools by the end of the imperial city period.

When Ravensburg was part of the Kingdom of Bavaria for a few years at the beginning of the 19th century , the school system was also reorganized. First, in 1805, an equal secondary school was founded with French as the first and Latin as the second foreign language. After Ravensburg was added to the Kingdom of Württemberg in 1810 , the Latin school was reformed in 1820 as an equal school in line with neo-humanism . Both schools were under the same management and continued to be run by the city, albeit under state school supervision. The former Carmelite monastery, which was extensively converted for this purpose, has served as the school building since 1825.

In 1839, both schools were expanded into a three-class institution with one class. The Realschule thus enabled students to attend the higher commercial school in Stuttgart and the former Latin school, now known as the Lyceum , was also able to offer Greek and Hebrew for prospective theology students. The eight teachers were almost all theologians.

In 1869 the higher schools moved to the premises of the former women's monastery on Mehlsack .

In 1880 the Lyceum was elevated to a grammar school by decree of the Württemberg King Karl and inaugurated on January 11, 1881. The number of students grew this year from 217 in January to 256 students in October. 121 came from the surrounding area. In 1885 there were already 307 students, 188 of whom were Catholic, 83 Protestant and 4 Jewish.

In 1905 there were initial considerations for a new building, as the need for space increased due to the growing number of pupils and some classes had already been moved to neighboring buildings. In 1907 the city announced an architectural competition for this.

In 1909, when the first female students were admitted, co-education was introduced.

In 1912 the mayor at the time, Andreas Reichle , was able to persuade the wealthy Ravensburger textile and cement entrepreneur Julius Spohn to donate a generous foundation to the construction of a new school building, which until 1914 was based on 8,000 m² of former Spohn's land on the slope north of the city center based on a design by Heilbronn Architect Adolf Braunwald was built.

After the Second World War , the separation of the two secondary schools began, and the old-language Spohn grammar school with around 250 students and the scientifically oriented Albert Einstein grammar school with around 500 students were created under one roof .

2008 to set up a Hochbegabtenzug for students with giftedness one.

In November 2017 the Spohn-Gymnasium was transformed into the "Republic of Vestraragymbi" for one week as part of the " School as State " project together with the Albert Einstein Gymnasium in Ravensburg.
