Jesuit College
College of the Society of Jesus
The Jesuits came to Cheb before 1630. At first, they engaged in missionary activities. Their initial abode was the commandery of the Knights of the Cross with the Red Star and later the local Latin school. Even though they had originally intended to build a college in the lower part of the town square, the town gave them the commandery of the Teutonic Knights where they relocated their classrooms and subsequently founded a garden on the farm grounds. They never accomplished their plan of building their own college. The Jesuits had been using the former commandery until 1773 when their order was dissolved. The commandery was pulled down and replaced by army barracks built between 1835 and 1839. The army barracks were demolished after World War II. Today, the site serves as a car park.
