The Kolleg St. Blasien is a state-recognised private Gymnasium (university preparatory school) and Catholic school with boarding facilities for boys and girls. It is situated in the town of St. Blasien in the German Black Forest. The school has 850 students, 300 of whom are boarders, and is led by members of the Jesuit order (Society of Jesus). It is considered to be one of the most prestigious schools in Germany with a rich and long history.2

The story

The history of the school dates back to 1596, when Jesuits started a school in Freiburg, Switzerland. This school moved to Feldkirch, Austria, in 1856 and to St. Blasien, Germany, in 1934. The National Socialists closed the school in 1939, in order to open an Adolf-Hitler school there. After World War II, the Jesuit order re-opened the school in 1946, which in war-torn Germany was only possible in light of significant material aid from Pope Pius XII.

Sexual abuse scandal

In 2010, Padre Wolfgang S. admitted to several acts of sexual abuse of minors during his years as a teacher in Sankt Blasius from 1982 to 1984. Rev. Stefan Dartmann stated that Wolfgang had also committed acts of sex abuse in Spain and Chile.
