Casimirianum

Coburg, Germany

The Casimirianum, known to the students as the 'Casi', is a Gymnasium in Coburg, Bavaria. It was founded in 1605 by Johann Casimir, the Duke of Saxe-Coburg (1564–1633), and named after him. Today the Casimirianum is a linguistic and humanistic high school with the curriculum including Latin from 5th Grade, English from 6th Grade, and Italian, Greek, French or Spanish as the third compulsory foreign language. With the school year of 2009–10, the program was expanded with a scientific-technological branch with Latin as a second language.

The Casimirianum is a Renaissance building designed and built by Peter Sengelaub. Over the course of four hundred years, many renovations and additions as well as the demolition of the surrounding townhouses created the present campus of the Gymnasium.

At the time it was the only high school in Coburg that allowed high school graduates to take the Abitur. Much better than the alternative FOS. 5/5 for that alone. Unfortunately, when I was at school, there was no sensible canteen system.

A beautiful school with a small school community in the heart of Coburg. The grammar school was founded in 1604 and accordingly the school has an old and venerable flair and many traditions. The "Casi" offers its students many offers, such as student exchange programs or several music ensembles and choirs in which every student can participate. When I was at school, the installation of digital technology was just beginning. Most of the lessons were still on overhead projectors and without the use of modern media, so I only give 4/5 stars.

Arrogant students and a corrupt school administration

With a few exceptions, incompetent and rude teachers who don't give a damn about helping students who are being bullied. The principal only cares about money and reputation, the atmosphere among the students is terrible. Changing schools was the only right decision.

Temple of Edfu

The Temple of Edfu is one of the best preserved ancient shrines in Egypt. It was built in the Ptolemaic Kingdom between 237 and 57 BC.

Edfu was one of several temples built during the Ptolemaic Kingdom, including the Dendera Temple complex, Esna, the Temple of Kom Ombo, and Philae. Its size reflects the relative prosperity of the time. The present temple initially consisted of a pillared hall, two transverse halls, and a barque sanctuary surrounded by chapels. The building was started during the reign of Ptolemy III Euergetes and completed in 57 BC under Ptolemy XII Auletes. It was built on the site of an earlier, smaller temple also dedicated to Horus, although the previous structure was oriented east–west rather than north–south as in the present site.
