The Staatliche Landschulheim Marquartstein is a scientific , technological and linguistic high school with an attached boarding school in Marquartstein im Chiemgau .

Hermann Harless founded the school in 1928. Until 1958 the school and boarding school were housed in Marquartstein Castle. In 1958 they moved to the new Marquartstein Castle not far from the castle at the foot of the Hochgern. Today about 650 students attend the grammar school.

history

Hermann Harless, a pupil of Hermann Lietz , the founder of the German state educational homes for boys , had worked at the Odenwald School until 1920 under the reform pedagogue Paul Geheeb . From then on he worked at the New German School next to Alexander Sutherland Neill's "International School" founded in 1921. The school was originally a reform school founded by Émile Jaques-Dalcroze in Hellerau in 1910 .

After the New German School was dissolved in 1923, Hermann Harless was able to found the Marquartstein country school home with 16 students at Marquartstein Castle in 1928 . Due to the sharp increase in student numbers, Harless was able to hold high school exams at the private high school in 1940. Harless remained director of the country school home until the nationalization on May 1, 1943.

The common teaching of boys and girls (co-education) and the boarding facilities for both sexes remained; only a harsh intervention by the Bavarian Ministry of Culture in April 1949 banished girls from the boarding school. After a sharp decline in the number of students, the boarding school for girls was reopened in 1989.

In 1958, the premises of the LSH were relocated to the New Marquartstein Castle not far from the castle. Gradually, new outbuildings - including gyms and boarding school buildings - were added, which are still home to the country school home today. Parts of the interior shots for the film The Flying Classroom (1954) were shot in the stairwell of the castle.

From 1976 on, the school was one of the first 40 experimental schools for the introduction of the college level in Bavaria.

Current state

In 2020, the Marquartstein Landschulheim will extend over several buildings, the center of which is the New Palace. The facilities include the boarding school building with dining room, a gardening shop, a pottery workshop, the school's own carpentry workshop, as well as a gym and various outdoor sports facilities. The construction site of the new gymnasium is currently located at the site of the former biotope down to the teachers' car park, which is intended to relieve the shortage of space for physical education in the Marquartstein schools. The commissioning of the new building is planned for the 2020/21 school year.

The boarding school students of the upper level each have their own buildings, the Schöneck Villa for boys and the Berghof for girls, which under supervision promote the independent life of the students and contribute significantly to a good sense of community.

The country school home is part of the pilot project "Handicrafts at the Gymnasium". This enables students to complete an apprenticeship to become a carpenter in addition to the normal class, which is completed at the same time as the Abitur.

The so-called "ski model" offers those interested in sports the opportunity to take a path in competitive sports supported by the Ministry of Culture.
