Gymnasium Carolinum (Osnabrück)

The Gymnasium Carolinum in Osnabrück, Germany, was founded in 804 by Charlemagne, king of the Franks.

In 1933 the boys' school of the Gymnasium Carolinum had twenty-two teachers, all of whom were Catholics and thirteen of whom had served in the First World War.

[3] Yet Nazi educational policy changed both the curriculum and the views of students.

The number of schools hours devoted to physical exercise, history, and geography increased, while those involving foreign languages and religion decreased.

[4] In 1939 essays written by students at the school reflected the new policies and referred frequently to works by Hitler and other Nazi leaders.
