The new education act of 1880 introduced for the first time free education at state
schools of all levels below university.

Religious studies as such were handed over to the national churches; at primary
school and in the first two years of Gymnasium there was instead the subject ‘Biblical
History’. Nevertheless, the classes of the lower years of Gymnasium started and
ended with a prayer.
