Václav Šturm
(1533 - 1601) | Jesuit |
When Václav Šturm
finished his studies in the Czech kingdom, he, together with other
very promising young men, was sent in the spring of 1555 to Rome to
study at the Jesuit college under the leadership of the founder of
the Jesuit religious order Ignác of Loyola. At the end of 1558
Václav Šturm returned to the Czech kingdom to his first work place
at the Prague Clementinum College. At the beginning of the 1580\'s,
negotiations of Jesuits coming to the Rosenberg estates
successfully ended. The first four Jesuits whom Václav Šturm led
came to the royal town of the Rosenberg sovereign Wilhelm von
Roenberg in 1584. Immediately upon their arrival, they began
Czech and German sermons as well as a school educational program.
From 1590 they opened all five classes of a secondary school.
Václav Šturm was the first chancellor of the Jesuit college in
Český Krumlov situated in Horní
no. 154 street.
