Proud-Schrey

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Stolze-Schrey ( Stolze-Schrey Unification System ) is a German shorthand system that is mainly used in German-speaking Switzerland .

It was created in 1897 from the merger of the two schools (shorthand associations) Schrey and Stolze and is essentially an adaptation of the Schrey system (1887). The fact that the name Stolze became part of the shorthand designation was primarily due to systemic reasons and was intended to make it easier for users of the Stolzesche Schule to transition to the new unification system.

Like the Schrey system, Stolze-Schrey also uses the vocalization scheme with final symbolism, which goes back to Carl Faulmann (except for the exchange of vowel positions for ü and au ). In the lower level (school script) there are 43 characters for consonants and consonant combinations and about 79 abbreviations.

In 1912 a uniform speech script (then: Debattenschrift) was created. In 1941 a middle level, business stenography or express writing, was added. The system is therefore divided into three levels like the German unified shorthand.

Shortly after its introduction, Stolze-Schrey experienced rapid dissemination, in addition to northern Germany and above all in German-speaking Switzerland. It has been a unitary system there ever since. Before the creation of the German shorthand in 1924, Stolze-Schrey was the second most frequently used shorthand system in Germany after Gabelsberger .

In 1967 the system was slightly revised by the Swiss Stenographers Association. The changes were included in a new version of the system certificate for the lower level of the system, the so-called school script (see web link). The speech document was also reissued. The Stenographers Association Stolze-Schrey in Germany did not join this system reform, but also allows the Swiss variants to apply to spelling competitions.
