The Hörde Abbey School is now an urban primary school in the Hörde district of Dortmund . Its history goes back to the 14th century.

history

Pre-industrial times

In 1339 Konrad von der Mark founded the Clarenberg Monastery . The Hörde Abbey School was first mentioned in 1558 as a school in Clarenberg Monastery. An independent Catholic school was built around 1775. It was a free school in which children from poor families were taught free of charge (“free”). Noble ladies donated for it. In 1622 a Protestant school was founded in Hörde. In 1818 both schools were merged, but they separated again in 1820, as the Catholic community had the donated monastery brewery converted into a school building. This gift turned out to be dilapidated after 10 years. Now the Catholic students had to be taught in the town hall room until a new school building "Am Stift", built from donations, was available.

Industrial time

Since the industrialization of the city of Hörde progressed rapidly in these years, this schoolhouse, which consisted of two schoolrooms, was soon no longer sufficient. In 1858/59 a new school building was built on today's Bahnhofstrasse. Soon this house was no longer sufficient either. In 1873 the community bought the property "Auf dem Schilde" and built the school of the same name, which in 1896 received an expanded new building. This Schildschule was separated from the Stiftschule in 1898/99. From 1893 the city of Hörde took over the running costs of the Catholic school, which until then had been borne by the Catholic community, and declared the school to be municipal.

In 1909 1,404 students went to the pen school. The old school was no longer sufficient and the "new monastery school" was built on the former Lenkescher Hof near the old building (today opposite the hardware store). Both buildings were used with 22 classes. After handing over some classes to the Schildschule, there were still 16 classes with 981 students. In 1910 the 1st auxiliary class (auxiliary school) was set up in the basement of our school. In 1928 Hörde became a suburb of Dortmund and the school got a new owner. In 1939/40 the Stiftschule became a community school. It was given a new name for a short time: Carl Peters School . In October 1939, the air raid shelter for the school was built by teachers and students. On May 5, 1943, the school was hit in a major bomb drop: the upper four classrooms collapsed. In the following year the old monastery school was destroyed by bombs. On June 27, 1943, the children of the Stiftschule were evacuated with their teachers to southern Germany and housed in five different villages in the Black Forest with farmers and inns. In 1947/48, 13 classes with 668 students were set up in the Stiftschule, which had got its old name back. The first books and notebooks were not available until 1948. In 1967 the school landscape changed, as in the rest of the country, in Hörde. The old eight-grade elementary school ceased to exist. From then on there was a primary school with the 1st to 4th grade.

In 1968/69 the school had 336 students in 10 classes with 9 teachers. The “new” collegiate school from 1909 became too small. On October 1, 1972, the construction of the new school building "Am Bruchheck 47" began. On January 17, 1974, the children and teachers moved from the old to the new school building. But even this building was too small for 20 classes with 636 students and two 4th school years had to be outsourced.

Post-industrial era

It was not until the 1975/76 school year that the new division of the school district and the decline in the total number of students no longer resulted in a lack of space.
