Customs School

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
After the Second World War, the Mürwik Naval School was home to the Flensburg Customs School , which was previously located in a different location in the city.

Customs schools are called schools where customs officers are trained or further educated. Schools with the official name "Zollschule" existed in Germany from 1935 to 2001. Some of the schools were also called Customs Border Guard School after the war . Even if the official name customs school is no longer in use today, some schools are still popularly referred to as customs schools .

The Sorbian grammar school in Bautzen once served as a customs school.
The Velen also served temporarily as a customs school.

Establishment of the customs schools

In the German Reich in the 1930s, State Secretary Fritz Reinhardt set up customs schools together with Reich finance schools. During the Second World War , many of these customs schools were closed and their school buildings were used as military hospitals . A few of these customs schools were reopened after the war.

The former customs schools that were founded in the 1930 / 40s

The customs schools were apparently set up throughout existing buildings, which had a representative effect:

  • Bautzen customs school : The customs school was set up in 1937 in a building that previously housed a Catholic high school. The customs school existed until 1942. Later the Sorbian Gymnasium Bautzen was set up in the building .
  • Customs school Berlin : It was in the Charlottenburg district . It is unclear when it was closed. In Berlin, however, the West Berlin Customs School apparently existed after the Second World War .
  • Customs school in Dresden : It is said to have been a branch of the Berlin customs school. The Saxon State Parliament is located in the building today .
  • Customs school Flensburg : In 1938 it was opened in the secondary school and agricultural school. After the Second World War she was transferred to the Mürwik Naval School . It existed for almost 18 years.
  • Zollschule Krefeld : In 1937 the Zollschule moved into the hussar barracks in Krefeld , where it remained until around 1944.
  • Zollschule Lauf : The customs school existed in the 1930s in Lauf an der Pegnitz , near Nuremberg .
  • Zollschule Lochau : The customs school on the Austrian part of Lake Constance was founded in 1941. It was closed again in 1943 because the premises were needed for a hospital.
  • Mölln customs school : It existed in Mölln from 1938 to 1940 . Afterwards, a Reich Finance School was set up in the building .
  • Sigmaringen customs school : It existed in Sigmaringen from 1937 to 1939 . Afterwards, a Reich Finance School was set up in the building .
  • Velen Customs School : It was established in Velen Castle in 1937 . It was closed during World War II and apparently revived in the 1960s.
  • Customs school Velten : It was in Velten.
  • Customs school Waldenburg : It existed in the 1930s in what is now the Polish town of Wałbrzych .

Other customs schools that existed after the Second World War

Other customs schools, which apparently emerged after the Second World War, were among others in the following cities:

  • Customs school Bad Gandersheim : It was in Bad Gandersheim in the 1950s . Since 1987, the Bad Gandersheim faith center has been located in the barracks building of the former customs school .
  • Customs school Bonn : There was a customs school in Bonn at the beginning of the 1950s. In 1956, parts of the Flensburg customs school are said to have been relocated to Bonn. But apparently the Bonn customs school no longer existed there after 1955. Accordingly, the aforementioned reference to Bonn should only have meant the files and the like.
  • Customs school in Eckerförde : The customs school in Eckernförde was temporarily set up as a branch of the customs school in Flensburg in 1949. How long it existed is unclear. As early as 1950, the Flensburg customs school moved to the large building complex of the Mürwik naval school.
  • Zollschule Herrsching : In the 1950s there was a customs school in Herrsching am Ammersee .
  • Customs school Neustadt in Neustadt an der Weinstrasse : It existed since the 1950 / 60s and was dissolved after reunification .
  • Customs school in Oberstdorf : The customs school existed until 2001.
  • Customs school Rupprechtstegen : This customs school existed in the municipality of Hartenstein from 1966 to March 2001 .

Not far from the border to CSSR and GDR , the two-month shooting courses and courses in supporting techniques for the border customs service in the federal customs administration are also said to have taken place in the 1970s and 1980s at Gattendorf Castle near Hof in Upper Franconia.

Succession and today's customs schools

Today's advanced training locations of the education and science center of the Federal Finance Administration, such as Sigmaringen , which was established there in 1972, are apparently still called customs schools in the vernacular now and then. In Austria , prospective customs officers are trained at the Federal Finance Academy in Vienna as well as at their own office. The training is divided into basic training and functional training, the duration of the training depends on the grading of the trainee in the middle, upper or higher service.

In Switzerland today there is a customs school in the municipality of Liestal . The said, decades old customs school is the only one that exists in Switzerland.

In South Tyrol in Bolzano there has been a primary school called Zollschule since 2002 ; it is located at Zollstrasse 15 there. Before that, there was a fruit auction hall. The name of the school probably does not go back to a real customs school.
