history

History of the monastery

The religious sister Maria Theresia von Jesu Gerhardinger was the founder of the congregation of the "Poor School Sisters of Our Lady" . From the age of six she attended the convent school of the Notre Dame women . She later worked as an assistant teacher at this school and realized that the school education was insufficiently available to poorer girls. In 1835 Karolina resigned from the religious profession of the congregation she founded in Regensburg and accepted the religious name Maria Theresa of Jesus . 1841, the former was Klarissenkloster am Anger in Munich by King Ludwig I of the Order as a new parent leave.

Maria Theresia Gerhardinger died on May 9, 1879 at the age of 82 in the Angerkloster. Her grave is now in the St. Jakob am Anger in Munich, on 17 November 1985 said Pope John Paul II. They saved and was born on 3 September 1998 in Walhalla a bust of Theresa Gerhardinger situated in Regensburg. Maria Theresa's goal was to give girls a real-life education. She made a decisive contribution to the social awakening of society and is regarded as a pioneer and important educator of modern women's education.

School history

In 1843 King Ludwig I left the Angerkloster, which had previously been used by the Poor Clares, to the school sisters. It was converted into the motherhouse and training center. In addition, the first teacher training center was established. The current main building of the school on Blumenstrasse was built between 1914 and 1918; however, the construction work was delayed by the First World War .

In 1936 the Nazi regime forbade the sisters to attend school. On the night of the bombing on December 17, 1944, the Jakobskirche and the monastery buildings were completely destroyed and the school building was damaged.

After the end of the war, the school sisters took over again in September 1945.

A new underground double gym was built in 1991. On August 1, 1996, the Gerhardinger Gymnasium (Unterer Anger 2) and the Gymnasium am Anger (Blumenstrasse 26) were merged to form the “Theresia Gerhardinger Gymnasium am Anger”. As a result of the merger, the grammar school has three branches. The building complex on Unteren Anger still consists of the mother house, the Sankt Jakob church, the Theresia-Gerhardinger Gymnasium am Anger and a student dormitory. In addition, the Theresia Gerhardinger elementary school for girls and a daycare center have existed in the building complex since Theresia Gerhardinger was founded.

Educational goals

The pedagogical objective can be summarized in one sentence of the rule of life of the poor school sisters of Our Lady :

For us, education means leading people to their full development as creatures and likenesses of God and enabling them to use their gifts to make the earth humane.

Schoolchildren should be able to go to school without fear and with pleasure and the pupils should be given space to find their place within religions and cultures. The students should be supported holistically. The school wants to accompany its students in their challenges and instill courage and social responsibility in them.

The educational concept is based on the following pillars: preservation of creation, dialogue between religions and cultures, gender-equitable education and concern for the disadvantaged.

Events

Every year there are several concerts such as B. the Christmas concert and the lower school concert take place. Numerous events such as theater performances, dance competitions, sports festivals, the open day and the Christmas bazaar are part of school life.

  • With many church services, the students celebrate the important Christian festivals of the church year together with the teachers. There are the main services at the beginning of school, at Christmas, Easter and at the end of the school year, as well as separate services for the individual classes.
  • For many years, the night of encounter has been a special event for the 7th and 8th grades. It is an example of various school pastoral events that offer orientation and support in questions of faith and life. With the help of workshops (dances, creative design, etc.), meals together as well as a midnight service and a closing service the next morning, the students get on the trail of themselves, others and God.
  • Every year the respective final year organizes a cabaret evening, which the pupils organize together with teachers. The teacher-student relationship is strengthened.

Open all-day school

In close cooperation with the school management, the association “Supervised learning Am Anger e. V. "an" open all-day school ". This corresponds to the state funding guidelines and follows the concept of "rhythmic learning". A pedagogical team looks after the pupils while they are learning and provides assistance. For the children of the open all-day school, both lunch and free time to play are offered.

Sponsor school

Since 1990 the Theresia-Gerhardinger-Gymnasium has maintained a close connection to its sponsoring school in Sunyani in the Republic of Ghana , the Notre Dame Senior Secondary School, a secondary school for girls with an attached boarding school. The contact was made through two school sisters of Our Lady from Munich and Sunyani. The Theresia-Gerhardinger-Gymnasium am Anger attaches great importance to the development of social skills and commitment to people in need. To support the sponsorship school in Ghana, various activities take place at the TGGaA throughout the year:

  • Every December there is a Christmas bazaar where the schoolchildren sell self-made Christmas products. The proceeds mainly go to the sponsorship school.
  • The solidarity run is an action by the Shalom Club , in which around half of the students and some teachers walk around the building complex. The runners are sponsored by companies or relatives / friends. The net proceeds will be donated to the sponsorship school in Ghana.
  • The Ghana Working Group arranges sponsorships for students at the Notre Dame Senior Secondary School in Sunyani. School classes, parents or teachers from the grammar school in Munich sponsor a girl in Ghana for one year. A scholarship of the equivalent of 300 euros per student enables the annual costs for training, accommodation and meals to be covered. These sponsorships benefit girls who, due to their family situation, cannot pay for school fees on their own and who show particular commitment. The girls are selected by the school administration in Ghana.

Main uses of donations in Ghana:

  • structural measures, for example a second boarding school building and a drinking water well
  • the school library with science and English textbooks
  • School fees for girls in need

Other facilities in the school complex

Theresia Gerhardinger Primary School

The Theresia-Gerhardinger-Grundschule am Anger bears the name of the founder of the Congregation of the Poor School Sisters of Our Lady .

On November 27, 1843, King Ludwig I also approved the newly founded Order of the Poor School Sisters of Our Lady to set up a girls' school: by 1860, the first seven-class elementary school in Munich developed from this. On August 27, 1874, the municipal elementary school run by the sisters was recognized as a seminar practice school and approved by the state seven years later. It formed the practical training ground for the future monastic teachers.

From 1877 to 1911 the "Teaching and Education Institute of the Poor School Sisters" offered girls from 6 to 16 years of age a comprehensive education in 10 year courses. In 1911 a seminar training school was built, which was dissolved by the National Socialist government in 1936. In September 1945 the poor school sisters were able to resume classes. Since the beginning of the 2005/2006 school year, the Theresia-Gerhardinger-Volksschule am Anger has been a primary school.

kindergarten

As early as 1843, in the chronicle of the two schools that were opened by the poor school sisters, there was talk of a “children's institution” for girls between three and six years of age. The founder of the order and pedagogue Maria Theresia von Jesu Gerhardinger took up the fundamentally new ideas of Friedrich Fröbel and carried them further, which in 1850 developed a guideline for child care institutions . So a one-year course for the training of kindergarten nurses was developed in the Angerkloster at an early stage, which resulted in a two-year kindergarten teacher seminar in Munich-Au for monastic kindergarten teachers.

When the school building was built on Blumenstrasse between 1914 and 1918, rooms for the kindergarten were planned from the start. The kindergarten has been located in these rooms since completion. Currently (2017), 26 children can be accommodated in the two extended full-day groups. The groups are of mixed ages with girls and boys between three and six years of age.
