Alte Landesschule Korbach

Description

The Alte Landesschule Korbach is the only general education grammar school in Korbach. It can look back on more than 430 years of history without interruption, making it one of the oldest schools in Hesse.
The foundation as a humanistic scholarly school took place by the Waldeck counts on 7 May 1579 in the buildings of the former Franciscan Observant monastery. Especially in its early days, the school succeeded in recruiting well-known scholars as teachers. However, it must be borne in mind that the grammar schools had a far more important position at that time than they do today. There was usually a very close relationship between the grammar schools of the early modern period and the universities. The grammar school in Korbach was in close contact with the Philipps University of Marburg in particular. The first head of the Korbach Gymnasium was Lazarus Schoner. He had previously been an educator and professor of philosophy in Marburg. In 1580, Rudolf Goclenius the Elder was appointed. However, this failed due to the objection of the Landgrave of Hesse William IV, in whose service Goclenius was. In 1581, Wilhelm Adolf Scribonius was appointed teacher of logic and head of the third class. He became known above all as a witch theorist through his defense of the witches' bath.
