Saint Peter's School ((ロシア語:Петришуле), (ドイツ語:Sankt-Petri-Schule)), often referred to as Petrischule (the German transliteration of its Russian name) is a secondary school in St. Petersburg. It is one of the oldest educational institutions in Russia, having been founded in 1709. ==History== In 1705, Peter the Great decreed that Protestant churches could be established in St. Petersburg. The first reference to the school is in 1709, in a letter (now in the Archive of the Russian Navy) by Admiral Cornelius Cruys to the Emperor (Peter) regarding the establishment of a Lutheran church and school at his estate, located on the site of what is now the New Hermitage on Millionnaya Street in St. Petersburg's German settlement. In 1761, the German theologian, geographer, historian, and teacher Anton Friedrich Büsching was invited by the Lutheran community of St. Petersburg to be headmaster of the school at the Lutheran Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul. The current school building, at numbers 22-24 Nevsky Prospect, was built in the 1760s and rebuilt several times - in 1799, in 1876-1877, and in 1913-1915. Among the educators who taught at the school are: *The natural scientist Erik Laxmann (1737-1796). *The philosopher and Latin scholar Alexander Galich (1783-1848), who was a teacher of Pushkin. *The writer Ivan Born (1778-1851), compiler of the first Russian language textbook. *The writer and poet Vasili Popugaev (1778 or 1779-1816 (probable)). *The philologist and pedagogue Nikolai Gretsch (1787-1867). *The mathematician Nikolai Brashman (1796-1866). *The physicst Heinrich Lenz (1804-1865), discoverer of Lenz's Law. *The phalerist (scholar of medals) Julius Iversen (1823-1900). *The physicist Orest Khvolson (1852-1934). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Saint Peter's School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
