School story in the Jordanian period: totally false?

@WhisperToMe and Ulf Heinsohn: hi. The paragraph reads:

"Due to the [1947-48] military action, the activity of the Schmidt's Girls College was interrupted and the school, housed in the Paulus-Haus since 1886, was moved into a newly constructed building adjacent to it in 1965."

This seems twice wrong. The Schmidt's Girls College (SGC) article says that

The SGC was housed in the Old Hospice until 1948, and in the Paulus-Haus between 1950-1967 (so NOT in the Paulus-Haus between 1886-1965)
The new building was finished in May 1967, not 65, and promptly damaged in June by the Six-Day War, forcing its closure until it was repaired that same year.

Which article is to be believed about the school? I would think the dedicated one about the school. Please clarify. Thanks, Arminden (talk) 17:12, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Arminden: From the official site: "Schmitz den Aufbau eines Lehrerseminars, das ins 1908 eröffnete Paulus-Haus einzog. Den Unterricht in der Schule erteilten die acht Schwestern der Borromäerinnen, ab 1913 übernahm Schwester Marina Kramm auch die pädagogische Schulleitung. Nach dem Auszug des Hospiz in das neue Paulus-Haus am Damaskustor konnte sich die Schmidt-Schule im alten Gebäude am Jaffator auch räumlich ausdehnen und insgesamt weiterentwickeln." and "Ost-Jerusalem und den palästinensischen Gebieten kamen. Folglich drängte sich der Umzug ins Paulus-Haus in Ost-Jerusalem auf, der dann am 1. Oktober 1950 erfolgte. Der fast 80-jährige Schulleiter Pater Sonnen hatte bei den israelischen Behörden erreichen können, dass das gesamte Mobiliar auf 65 Lastwagen ins Paulus-Haus geschafft werden konnte, so dass der Schulbetrieb sehr schnell wieder aufgenommen werden konnte. 1954 zählte die Schmidt-Schule etwa 400 Schülerinnen und hatte damit „ihren früheren Stand erreicht“. Trotzdem war allen Verantwortlichen bewusst, dass der Einzug der Schule ins Paulus-Haus nur von vorübergehender Dauer sein sollte, da das Hospiz nur sehr eingeschränkt als Schulgebäude für etwa 400 Schülerinnen, davon teilweise auch Internatsschülerinnen, geeignet war. Bereits in den 50er Jahren entstanden auf dem Gelände des DVHL einige Nebengebäude der Schule, doch erst 1962 konnte mit dem Bau des heutigen Schulgebäudes begonnen werden."

Based on this it seems to have gone back and forth in different periods (use Google Translate to read a translation of the German text)

@WhisperToMe: thanks. I can read German, no problem. Well, if you read carefully, it didn't go back and forth: as we're not focusing here on the teachers seminary, but the girls school, it was in the Old Hospice from the 1800s until 1948 or 49, and then it moved to the Paulus-Haus in Oct. 1950. The text continues by saying that "Erst Pfingsten, am 14. Mai 1967, konnten der Neubau und die daran angeschlossene Kapelle eingeweiht werden, doch mit dem am 5. Juni 1967 beginnenden „Sechstagekrieg“ und der sich daran anschließenden Besetzung Ost-Jerusalems war an Unterricht zunächst nicht mehr zu denken, zumal das Schulgebäude infolge der Kampfhandlungen stark beschädigt worden war." So the answer to my question No. 1 seems to be yes (except: not fully clear if there was any activity going on after the armistice in 1948 and until 1 Oct. 1950), and to No. 2 - the new building was clearly finished in 1967, not 1965, but we don't know from what's written there when they were actually able to move in after the 67 war. Anyway, the school article is much better in this regard than the Paulus-Haus article. Cheers, Arminden (talk) 18:24, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
