The construction of Landshut began in 1204 under the rule of Duke Ludwig of Bavaria. It was a typical Wittelsbach founding town and marked a new form of territorial politics for the Bavarian dukes. From 1231, Landshut became the residence of the Wittelsbach dynasty and the capital of the Duchy of Bavaria until 1255. Due to the division of Bavarian lands, Landshut alternated between being a capital and a residential town. The town thrived thanks to its location on the Isar River and its strategic positioning along trade routes. By the 14th century, Landshut had developed its Gothic town center, which remained largely unchanged until the 19th century. During the period from 1392 to 1503, Landshut experienced a prosperous and politically important era under the rule of the three "rich" Dukes Heinrich, Ludwig, and Georg. Landshut also gained prestige through the magnificent wedding of Duke George the Rich to the daughter of the Polish king in 1475. This event, known as the "Landshut Wedding," is re-enacted every four years since 1903. A historical overview of the renowned Keramikschule Landshut, situated in Lower Bavaria, reveals that the institution was founded in 1836 with the opening of the Agricultural and Commercial School in the current government building of the Government of Lower Bavaria. In 1870, the first proposal for the establishment of a pottery school was put forth by the mayor Dr. Gehring, the principal of the trade school Sperl, and the master potter F. Reither. In 1873, the Royal Pottery School opened its doors with the support of President von Lipowsky. The inaugural cohort comprised two journeymen, with a further three joining them subsequently, along with two apprentices. The teaching staff comprised the following individuals: The practical aspects of the curriculum were overseen by Franz Reither, while Friedrich Schenk was responsible for theoretical instruction. Adolf Böhm was in charge of financial matters. Subsequently, the following individuals were also involved: Anton Weinzierl In order to be admitted to the school, it was necessary to have completed an apprenticeship. The pupils resided in a boarding house. The lights were extinguished at 9 p.m., and journeymen were required to remain in their rooms until 10 p.m. Visiting pubs was discouraged, as it was deemed incompatible with the standards of moral conduct expected of the pupils. The consciousness of belonging to the pottery school must serve to elevate the young craftsman, increase his sense of honour and express itself in all his actions. (Quoted from: 'The State School of Ceramics in Landshut' by Gertrud Benker) The working day commenced at 6.00 a.m. and concluded at 6.00 p.m., with a two-hour break. The primary focus of the school was the production of kilns. All manufactured goods were subsequently sold. Pupils were remunerated with a daily wage of 69 Pfennig. Theory lessons were conducted at the vocational school in the government building, while practical lessons were held at the former Graf factory in Bauhofstraße. 1903 Change of name: 'Keramische Fachschule Landshut' (additional title: Fachschule für Kunsttöpferei und Ofenbau) Move to a new building: (Ober-) Realschule am Marienplatz (today FOS). The school consisted of two years of pre-school, two years of vocational school and one year of further training for journeymen. Teachers: Wilhelm Rudolph (Reallehrer) and seven specialist teachers. School fees were 20 marks a year for Germans and 40 marks for foreigners. 30.1.1912 The pre-school examination was equated with the journeyman's examination and the technical school examination with the master's examination. 1924 Move to the preparatory school at Marienplatz (now KFL). 1930-1973 Opportunity to train as a bricklayer 1941 Master School for Ceramics, State Vocational School and Vocational College 1946 Licence to re-open after the war 1983-1988 Reconstruction of the old brickworks school 1983 Foundation of the 'Friends and Sponsors of the Landshut Ceramic Schools'.
