history

The Balthasar Neumann Building seen from the corner of Kapuzinerstraße and Hofstallstraße

Almost 200 years after its foundation, the seminar was converted into a scholarship fund in the course of secularization in Bavaria in 1803. It was reopened in 1880 by the Bavarian King Ludwig II under the name of the Royal Adeliges Julianum . Priest Ferdinand Schlör , ordained in Würzburg in 1862, initially took over the management . After the First World War, middle-class students were also accepted into the facility for the first time. At the beginning of 1945, all buildings, including the furnishings, the archive and all files, fell victim to a bomb attack .

In 1950 the study seminar resumed operations, from 1954 in the three-winged so-called Balthasar Neumann building on Kapuzinerstrasse, which was rebuilt on the old floor plan, and was expanded in 1969 to include an extension in a north-easterly direction. Since 1978, the seminar has had a large sports hall and learning rooms for day school students, who have been able to acquire knowledge since 1960 under pedagogical supervision in the Julianum parallel to their regular school attendance.

concept

In the study seminar people from the age range of 9 to 20 years live and learn from the entire northern Bavarian area and the neighboring regions in Thuringia and Hesse. Groups of 10 to 15 pupils of about the same age are cared for by an educator as their permanent reference person. The sporting infrastructure enables the formation of inclined groups in sports such as football, volleyball, basketball or swimming, for those interested in music, instrumental lessons are possible with music teachers. On parents' days, services are held in the chapel in the basement of the Balthasar Neumann Building.
