history
The history of the Grotefend-Gymnasium Münden can be traced back to the year 1376 from city books and school archive documents. “The fact that the Mündener Schule must have been a 'high school' from the start is evident from the fact that in the matriculation numbers of the Prague University (founded in 1348)” and other universities “quite a few Mündener pupils are listed ". (Quote from "100 Years of Abitur" see below)
- The first mentions of a "secondary school" in the city register of Münden are dated 1376 and 1392 .
- For 1584/85 Duke Julius issued guidelines for “Latin schools” based on the model of the Schola Mundensis (= the Mündener School).
- In 1792 Georg Friedrich Grotefend left the Mündener Latin School known as the “Ratsschule” .
- In 1829 a ministerial decree designated the Mündener Schule as "officially no longer part of the grammar school class" and dispensed with the designation of a "high school graduate examination commission".
- In 1897 the Ministry granted the application to rebuild it into a grammar school.
- In 1901 13 high school graduates (boys) took their first Abitur after 1829 at what was then the Münden Gymnasium. Independently of this, there was the “Higher Girls' School in Münden”, the later Lyceum “ Duchess Elisabeth School ”.
- In August 1968 the grammar school and the Lyceum Münden were merged as a coeducational grammar school in a new school building. A laboratory building for the forestry faculty , in which the chemist Alexander Mitscherlich first worked , previously stood in the same place .
- In 1976 the grammar school was officially renamed the Grotefend grammar school in Münden .
- In 1978, the headmaster Karl-Heinz Kausch was suspended from school service because of right-wing extremist statements. The teacher at the Grotefend-Gymnasium was also the teacher Heiner Luthardt until 1978, employed as a German and French teacher. In parallel to Kausch, Minister of Education Werner Remmers initiated disciplinary proceedings against him after his school and extracurricular activities in the right-wing extremist area became known. Luthardt was a propagandist for the Auschwitz lie ; Among other things, the educator distributed Paul Rassinier's “What is Truth?”, a kind of neo-Nazi Bible, and other relevant writings in which the fact or extent of the persecution of Jews in the Third Reich was denied to schoolchildren and other young people . While director Kausch's work was more of a philosophical-intellectual nature, Luthardt was also active in right-wing extremist circles. He was the founder and promoter of the "Migratory Birds" youth and was considered such in Hann. Münden as a supporter of the right-wing scene, whose connections extended to the lawyer Manfred Roeder, who was then classified as "harmless" or "crazy", and to the military sports group Hoffmann .
- In August 2004 the building of the former orientation level I was attached to the Grotefend-Gymnasium.
