history

court

Under the patronage of St. Therese von Lisieux , the Upper German Province of the Carmelites opened the Theresianum seminar for late professions on October 8, 1946. Father Jakobus Beck O.Carm. (* March 9, 1905 in Hartenreuth ; † May 8, 1967 in Bamberg ), who is considered the founder of the Theresianum, wanted to give young war returnees the opportunity to do the Abitur in order to become Catholic priests . In the first few years one was content with an internal high school diploma, which had no public law significance. On May 5, 1949, the Order Province received approval from the Bavarian State Ministry for Education and Culture to "found and operate a late-career institution (higher education institution) with a student hostel". In the beginning, the Theresianum was housed in the rooms of the Marianum (Bamberg) and in the building of the former Carmelite brewery, but in 1958 a completely new building for the school and seminar was built, which was inaugurated on July 9, 1959. The altar , ambo , statue of Mary and other pieces of equipment in the house chapel were created by the sculptor Friedrich Koller . The association of friends and sponsors of the Theresianum e. V. supports the work of the late professions. Until 1961 the students of the Theresianum took part in the Abitur exams of other grammar schools in Bamberg. In 1965 the school was recognized as a state substitute school. The college was approved in 1973 and started its work in the 1973/74 school year. On November 16, 1966, the Archbishop's Evening High School was attached to the Theresianum . At the end of the 80s the school chapel was renovated and redesigned. On January 1, 2007, the order transferred the sponsorship of the Theresianum to a non-profit GmbH (gGmbH). The old school building from the late 50s and early 60s closed its doors in the 2010/11 school year and was completely renovated in two construction phases for around five million euros. The classrooms were moved to the premises of the monastery and the "Knöcklein" during the renovation. The inauguration after the renovation took place in 2012.

Imminent closure and new porters

Only three years after the inauguration, the Provincial Chapter of the Carmelites in Germany decided to close the Theresianum. After the closure, the school buildings on Karmelitenplatz were to continue to be used for the Bartolomeo Garelli special needs school of the Salesians of Don Bosco . After the decision to close the school, students and teachers fought to continue running the school under different sponsorship. In mid-2017 it became known that the school could possibly continue to operate under another sponsorship. In January 2018, the Caritas Schools gGmbH was finally presented as the new provider.

seminar

The main pillar of the Theresianum was originally the seminar attached to the school for young men who want to take up a church profession. In the 1970s, up to 80 young men were accommodated in this “small seminar”. However, the number of seminarians fell rapidly in the 1990s and was recently only 4. In the 2012/13 school year, the seminar was also opened to women.
