history

The Mission House Blönried (picture postcard by Eugen Felle )

Halfway between Altshausen and Aulendorf lies the small suburb of Blönried within the area of Aulendorf. The Mission House St. Johannes Evangelist was founded in 1924 as a boarding school for the Steyler Missionaries (officially the Society of the Divine Word , Latin Societas Verbi Divini ).

In 1936 the house was used as a novitiate for the mission society. A year later, in 1937, during the Nazi era , the mission school was closed because none of the students agreed to join the Hitler Youth . The property settlement took place in 1940. The house was confiscated and first used as a resettlement camp and then as a refugee camp.

Three years after the end of the Second World War in 1948, the Steyler missionaries received the property back from the French military government . For several decades, the preparatory college was run as a Progymnasium with boarding school, i.e. there were six grammar school classes, according to the Latin counting at the time, sixth, fifth, lower, upper and lower, that is, according to today's count, classes 5 to 10. Initially it was an old-language grammar school three foreign languages ​​(5th grade: Latin, 7th grade: English, 9th grade: ancient Greek). With the school year 1969/70 the change to the school type 'Neusprachlich I' took place, ie French was now taught as the third foreign language in class 9.

In 1989 the Progymnasium was expanded to include the upper level. In 1994 the boarding school was closed and the school continued. In 2010 there were fifteen brothers and fathers in the mission house who are entrusted with pastoral services for the surrounding congregations. In 2013 the mission house was closed. The Steylers are now only represented sporadically in Upper Swabia. On September 29, 2013 the house community of the Steyler missionaries was dissolved and with a moving celebration of Blönried and the whole of Upper Swabia.

The Steyler missionaries will remain connected to the preparatory college and will continue to organize church services for the students.

In 2008, the Catholic Free School Foundation of the Rottenburg-Stuttgart diocese took over the sponsorship of the preparatory college .
