The Alte Landesschule Korbach (short: ALS) is the only general high school in Korbach . It can look back on more than 430 years of history without interruption, making it one of the oldest schools in Hesse .

history

It was founded as a humanistic school of scholars by the Counts of Waldeck on May 7, 1579 in the buildings of the former Franciscan Observant Monastery (1487–1566). Especially in its early days, the school succeeded in attracting well-known scholars as teachers . To do this, however, you have to realize that high schools played a far more important role then than they do today. There was usually a very close relationship between the grammar schools of the early modern period and the universities . The grammar school in Korbach was in close contact with the Philipps University of Marburg in particular . The first head of the Korbach high school was Lazarus Schoner (1543–1607). He had previously been a pedagogue and professor of philosophy in Marburg . In 1580 Rudolf Goclenius the Elder was appointed. This failed, however, because of the objection of the Landgrave of Hesse Wilhelm IV , in whose service Goclenius was. In 1581 Wilhelm Adolf Scribonius was appointed as a teacher of logic and head of the third class. He was best known as a witch theorist for his defense of the witch bath .

The formerly humanistic state high school was converted into a German secondary school in April 1936 by decree of the Reich Minister of Education Bernhard Rust and received its current name.

After the American invasion towards the end of World War II , the school was temporarily closed and reopened as a secondary school on December 1, 1945 .

The school partnership established in 1952 with the Lycée Littré in Avranches ( Normandy ) resulted in a twinning between the two cities in 1963.

Due to the sharp increase in the number of students, the grammar school moved in the 1970s from the old building on Klosterstrasse to the new building on Solinger Strasse, where it is still located today.

At the beginning of the 2015/2016 school year, 1056 students attended the Alte Landesschule, of which 478 were boys and 578 girls in 45 classes. In June 2018, 93 students passed their Abitur.

The 2013 high school graduation class "doubled" due to the change to the G8 caused negative headlines : after incorrect planning of the mandatory high school graduation, a deficit of 5000 € was generated. A single student was initially left with the costs.
