Theresianum Ingenbohl
History
The first Theresianum was established in Chur in 1853. It consisted of a cross hospital, an orphanage, a public school and a benefactor's house. Four years later, a small boarding school with a girls' school was also opened. In 1860, due to a lack of support from the Chur town council, the boarding school and girls' school moved from Chur to Brunnen, to a side wing of the Ingenbohl monastery. The founder, Father Theodosius Florentini, entrusted Mother Maria Theresia Scherer, Superior General, with the management of the girls' school. In 1888, she initiated the foundation and construction of the Theresianum. In 1915/16, the ballroom and the Lombard hall with its remarkable glass dome roof were built by the architect Gustav Doppler from Basel. During the last third of the 20th century, the available space was adapted to the requirements of the time, for example by adding a modern sports complex with gymnasium and swimming pool as well as a music centre. With the exception of the extension on the right, the building has been preserved in its original state. In 1996, the Theresianum became an independent foundation and a public school with a boarding school for young people.
Private school
From 1889/90, women were trained as nursery, primary, work and home economics teachers. Today, the school also offers a bilingual baccalaureate and a specialised secondary school. The Theresianum pays great attention to women in the workplace, in society, in politics and in the family. For this reason, the secondary school (years 7-9), year 10 and the grammar school are only open to young women. The specialised middle school is open to both genders.
