"Linna III. Algkool"

(= "City Elementary School # III")

of Rakvere (= Wesenberg), in the

county of Virumaa (= Wierland = Vironia), Estonia

Names of graduates from 1890 to 1930

Biographies of inspectors and teachers from 1890 to 1930...

Extracted by Sigrid Renate Maldonado from the book
published 1930 in celebration of the
anniversary # 125 of this school's existence.
A Jubilee Commission was formed and it put
together and created this book.

******************************************************************************

Of course, the incentive to do this transcription and put it on the Web is that
my own father was a graduate from that school.

Not only ethnic Estonians, but also many ethnic Germans, ethnic Latvians, Russians and students with other backgrounds went to this school. Among inspectors and teachers we find the same diversity. Do not let yourselves be guided by the family names, though, to conclude ethnic background... Family names change. Be flexible.

According to school records in 1841 there were students of the following ethnic groups in the last class: 21 Germans, 10 Estonians and 7 Russians.
In 1850 the records showed that there were: 16 Germans, 10 Estonians and 4 Russians.
1877: in the 1st class there were 37 students and in the 2nd (= last) class 31. Among the students the school counted 42 Germans, 38 Estonians, 3 Russians and 1 Jew...
1882: in the 1st class had 50 and the last 44 students.

Inspectors and teachers were mostly of German and Russian background. In later years also a few ethnic Estonians became teachers in this school. Short biographies - until more or less 1918 - are given below. After 1918 these become even shorter.

In 1805 this probably was the only school in the larger surrounding area that accepted non-Germans. Around 1930 there were other schools in Rakvere. (Including an Upper High School for Germans.)  As I extracted the biographies I realized that at some point in history such County Schools must have been created in the whole Russian Empire.

Comments by Sigrid Maldonado:

It was just by chance and the thoughtfulness of one of my cousins - who was the first of our family to return to Rakvere for a visit - that I am in possession of the first 96 pages of this publication. No index at the beginning. I do not know how many pages are missing.
Sadly, this booklet starts with the graduating class of 1890 and not earlier.

Please, take into account that

the letter "w" is not part of the Estonian language. When this book was published all "w"s got transformed into "v"s. Or perhaps the names are like that in the original school records.
Other examples: "ii" looks like it used to be the German "ie" or "long i". - Perhaps...
The Estonian "kk" could have been "ck" in German.
Those named "Aleksander" could have been "Alexander". *
The last names which are an Estonian word could have been the same word in German.
If a last name is in 2 versions in this list it is because it was found by the transcriber exactly that way in the book at hand. The second version is printed there also in parenthesis.

* I am sure other language peculiarities also got into this list of names when the booklet was printed. As (& if) I become aware of them I point them out to you. Perhaps readers of this web page can detect other items of interest and let me know via a Guestbook entry. (Link below, via "Home Page".)

What is also certain in many cases of surnames in this 125th anniversary book is that the last names given were not the original form of the family names their ancestors had. (Again: read my book to understand this.)

When alphabetizing the list I will ignore the Umlauts and tildes at the beginnings of last names because those will have been lost when emigrating to an overseas country. Most people who search something like this on the Web will not know that the Estonian alphabet puts the vowels with Umlauts and tildes at the end. So, I decided to do this list in an non-Estonian way.

I am almost certain that many of the students at this school were from other parts of Estonia or at least from the surrounding areas and not necessarily part of families that were full time residents of Rakvere (= Wesenberg). It was customary for students from afar to be housed by other families (for payment of "room and board") while attending school in a town away from home. I just discovered the name of someone who became my mother's uncle and I know that during his youth he did not live in Rakvere with his family.

The short biographies of inspectors and teachers in some cases include unflattering facts. I try not to change what the book contains. After all researching family history is trying to learn the truth about our foreparents, trying to discover the human being in those who contributed to us being here - warts and all...

Some school background:

The history of this school reflects the history of the area. If you are familiar with Sigrid Maldonado's

book "Estonian Experience and Roots" you see the historical parallel between country and school. (The links to the web pages that describes this book and to its table of contents are below.)

1805 - 1886 The institution was called "Kreisschule" in German or "Kreiskool" in Estonian. (It means something like

"District or County School".) It started under Czar Aleksander I. The creation of these schools must have started at the
same time all over the Russian Empire. There must have been schools like these in every town. At that time Estonia was part of imperial Russia.
Regardless of who was the ruler of the empire, the academic subjects at these schools in Estonia were mostly taught in German.
In Rakvere the school was located on Pikk tänav (= Langstraße = Long Street). The housing for teachers was across the street (# 21-23).
In 1805 the School Commission (for Estonia) was headed by the University Prof. Dr. Jaesche in Tartu. Director of all the "Kreis" Schools in Estonia was B. Tideböhl. In Rakvere Inspector Buckel had 15 pupils, teachers were J.H. Heuser, J.H. Nicolai and J.E. Loewe. (Short bios are below.)

At first there were 2 classes. Later they added a 3rd class. I do not know when.
Subjects taught were: calligraphy, drawing (draughting), Russian, German, Latin, arithmetic, geometry, creation & technology, geography, history, physics, anthropology & dietetics, government, religion and discipline.
Around 1856 the Greek language was added for those who wanted to continue their studies in a "higher" High School (Gümnaasium = Gymnasium).
The instruction of religion meant orthodox religion, taught in the Russian language. All had to attend that class. The Russian government paid those “religion” teachers. From 1885 on it was allowed not to take orthodox religion classes, but lutheran religion, away from school. This instruction was to be given in the Russian language also, just as instruction of the "true or correct belief" (as called by their priests and by all Russians = "Russian orthodox"). Teachers of the lutheran religion were not paid by the Russian government.
During the 75th anniversary celebration on 26 Aug 1880 the teacher of Russian Djäkonov and Inspector Martinson gave speeches. [See "C.1.2.20)" and "B.1.10)" below.]

1886 - 1913 It was called "Stadtschule" in German or "Linnakool" in Estonian. (Something like "City School".)

This is when the Russian language was being imposed in all walks of life in the Baltics. The change started during the 1885/86 school year. If teachers wanted to keep their jobs they now had to give their classes in Russian and not in German any more.
1886 the school building was renovated and classrooms added to accomodate students in 6 classes = it took now 6 years to graduate.
After 1897 not even German language lessons were allowed.

Children 7 years old were admitted without any exam. Those 10-14 years old had to pass exams of Russian language itself and orthodox teaching and mathematics in Russian.
Those with a certificate from an elementary school were accepted as students here. If a student had had schooling at home he had to undergo examinations to gain acceptance to this school.

In 1899 there were other elementary schools that were not as expensive as this one. As a consequence the "City School" had to close the lower class.
A course of "handwork" (crafts?) was interrupted between 1902 and 1906 for lack of funds.

1901 Rakvere apparently had the following schools: Linnakool or City School had 40 students. The "State Elementary School for Girls" had 16 pupils. City Elementary School that ran 2 classes had more than 10 children. In the girl's "Emilien" Elementary School were 30 students. In the (orthodox?) church run school for girls were 15. In the Elementary School for Boys were 6. In the church run school for boys were more than 10. In all almost 130 children.

During 1902 this institution started to prepare students for the teaching profession.
Graduation of teachers began in 1903. One of the teachers was allowed to teach the Estonian language during these courses.

Many times we find the same name in the list of regular graduates as well as in the one that gives the names of those who had achieved the teaching certificate. (I indicate this with asterisk and year in both lists - if I become aware of it. But, some will escape me, I am sure. If someone finds other coincidences like this, please point them out to me in the Guestbook. I will correct my list accordingly.)

1913 - 1918 This school was called "Höhere Volksschule" in German or "Kõrgem Algkool" in Estonian.

(Something like "Higher Elementary School" or Middle School.) Again, the language of instruction was Russian.

Summer 1918 until Mar 1919: "Poeglaste Keskkool" = "Knabenmittelschule" or "Middleschool

for Boys" had 4 classes. Language of instruction was German. Estonian language was allowed only 2 hours / week. 1st class had 44 students, 2nd had 40, 3rd had 48 and 4th had 34 pupils = 166 in all. There were a few students that came and went depending on the flow of the wars. (WWI & War for Estonian Independence.)

There even were military units housed in the school building. Feb 1919 Finnish soldiers were stationed there. Classes were held as best as possible.

1919 - 1930 Called "Linna III. Algkool" ("City Elementary School # 3").

[I do not know if the correct equivalent of "'alg'kool" is "elementary" school. It appears to have been a secondary school, but the word "alg" = “beginning”. It might not have an equivalent meaning between then and there and now and here... (By 1950 elementary schools in Europe had 4 classes and secondary schools 8. That made 12 school years before university studies.)]

By 1919 the instruction was in Estonian.
From fall of 1919 on this school also accepted female students.
School year 1919-1920: there were 238 pupils. During the school year 1920-1921 this school had 7 classes. Plus, there were 2 of each: 6th and 7th grades. In all 272 students.
Then, during the school year 1921-1922 more were added: one more parallel class was created because "Linna IV. Algkool" was closed and the students changed over to # III. School was in session in 2 shifts: morning and evening. There were 301 students.
1922-1923: there were 372 pupils (301 boys + 71 girls) and 1923-1924: 317 (203 boys + 114 girls) The school continued with 10 classes of which 3 were parallel to others.
1924-1925: one of the parallel classes was eliminated.
From then on there was some decline in amount of students. It all reflected the fluctuations of population which were happening at that time. And that is a reflection of historical events.

First, under "A)", I have concentrated on the students who graduated 1890-1930.
Under "B)" are the inspectors employed and assigned by Russia to this school from 1804 to 1913. In "B.1" are those who were inspectors from 1804 to 1886 and "B.2" 1886-1913.
In "C)" Teachers 1805-1930 are listed. They are divided according to what was going on with the school into "C.1" to "C.4".

A few words about school archives: The school used to have its own archive.
By 1930 much of the historical material had been lost. Some had gone to the
"Nikolai I Upper High School" (gümnaasium) in Tallinn and to the Archive of the
"kurator". Finally, by 1930, all the archival material was housed at the
"Central State Archive" in Tartu.
I do not know if this material still exists or if the Soviets
and neglect have destroyed it all. Hopefully it all is still there.

A - Those who graduated:

1817:

The only thing the book mentions is that 10 graduated. Of those graduates: 1 went to study medicine in St. Petersburg, 1 went there into the military, 1 studied pharmacy, 1 learned to become a merchant, 2 started to learn a trade and 4 went to learn other professions.

Between 1886 and 1888 Otto Strandman, the future statesman of the Republic of Estonia, was a student there. Apparently he did not graduate from this school.
