history

The chapel of the St. Anna School

At the beginning of the 19th century, three higher daughter schools were founded in Elberfeld in 1817, 1828 and 1832 . The first school was taken over by the municipality in 1845, the second school, after it was taken over by Friedländer in 1836, tended to appeal to the middle class. The third, Catholic-oriented secondary school for girls lasted until 1841, so that the Catholic community in Elberfeld had to get along without a secondary school for girls until the turn of the century .

Attempts to found a school in the meantime failed because the congregation's financial resources were exhausted by building complex churches. The members of the community were dependent on the municipal daughter schools. They disliked the fact that the teachers in the town's daughter schools were all Protestant. One also saw in the social democracy a Marxist and anti-religious party, whose aims one should try to counteract as emphatically Catholic as possible. The approval of the Berlin ministerial administration to build a school of its own was thanks to the later Chancellor Wilhelm Marx .

The St. Anna School was founded as a Catholic secondary school for girls on April 24, 1905. Classes initially took place in rented rooms at Sophienstrasse 12/14 . The school was established and run by the mother house of the poor school sisters from Wroclaw . After this provisional arrangement, the school building on Dorotheenstrasse , which still exists today, was moved into on May 4, 1908 .

On December 1st, 2009 Eva Luise Köhler visited the school to thank the students for their collecting work for the mother 's convalescence work. In May 2009, the school had achieved the highest collection result ever achieved by a German school at 8,284.11 euros .
