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.

Church of St Donatus

The Church of St Donatus name refers to Donatus of Zadar, who began construction on this church in the 9th century and ended it on the northeastern part of the Roman forum. It is the largest Pre-Romanesque building in Croatia.

The beginning of the building of the church was placed to the second half of the 8th century, and it is supposed to have been completed in the 9th century. The Zadar bishop and diplomat Donat (8th and 9th centuries) is credited with the building of the church. He led the representations of the Dalmatian cities to Constantinople and Charles the Great, which is why this church bears slight resemblance to Charlemagne's court chapels, especially the one in Aachen, and also to the Basilica of San Vitale in Ravenna. It belongs to the Pre-Romanesque architectural period.

The circular church, formerly domed, is 27 m high and is characterised by simplicity and technical primitivism.
