The Hohenlohe-Gymnasium Öhringen (short: HGÖ ) is the general high school of the large district town Öhringen with a scientific and a linguistic profile and was founded around 1545.
In November 2008, around 85 teachers taught around 1,280 students in the six-class high school. This makes the school one of the largest in the area of the Regional Council of Stuttgart .
history
The Hohenlohe-Gymnasium emerged from the school of the Öhringen Canons' Monastery , first mentioned in 1234 , in which canons instructed young clergymen. Later, the Rector scholarum was probably also allowed to teach citizens' sons. During the Reformation around 1545, the Counts of Hohenlohe then founded the Latin School and the Hohenlohe State High School; in 1996 a 450th anniversary of the event was commemorated.
From the year 1549 an "order as it would like to be kept in the Schuell in Öringen" is handed down. Among other things, it decrees that Luther's Small Catechism should be taught in Latin on Friday , and the German catechism of Johannes Brenz in the lower classes . The school initially had three classes, four from 1558 and five from 1571. At that time, the school house stood on the site of today's castle. According to an ordinance from 1581, walls were drawn into the classrooms so that each teacher could teach in their own classroom. The Latin school had about 75 students at that time.
The school rules of 1546 were in place for a long time; it wasn't until 1782 that the rector pushed for a new one. In 1612 the school moved to the former monastery building, as the Öhringen Castle had been built at the old location.
To this day, the grammar school bears that of the noble family of Hohenlohe in its name and thus at the same time the name of the region shaped by this family . After Hohenlohe fell to the Kingdom of Württemberg at the beginning of the 19th century , the Öhringen School lost its upper level . A royal Württemberg decree of July 15, 1811 stipulated that the grammar schools in rural towns were to be closed and converted into mere Latin schools. In 1847 the school was officially named Lyceum . As early as 1873 the so-called uniform school leaving examination , to which the graduates of the Lyceum were admitted, was abolished again. The path to the matriculation examination was now only possible for the students through a full high school . With the introduction of the one-year examination from Prussia, school operations were limited to six years, and from 1903 the school was called Progymnasium . After the dissolution of the private secondary school for girls , voices were raised that real departments should be added to the Progymnasium. This happened, so from 1928 the school called itself Progymnasium and Realschule ; it led to the middle maturity of humanistic and realistic education.
In 1956, the Öhringen municipal council decided to upgrade the Progymnasium to a full institution, which the Ministry of Education approved. In 1959, the first class took the exam for the Abitur . Now the school was called Hohenlohe-Gymnasium Öhringen .
Catchment area
The catchment area extends far beyond the city limits to the entire Hohenlohe district , even students from neighboring districts attend the school; in the district there is only one other general high school in Künzelsau .

Student exchange
The grammar school maintains friendly relationships with the grammar school in the city of Großenhain in Saxony , with which Öhringen has agreed a city friendship, with the Collège LE DEVOIR in Chalon-sur-Saône and the Lycée Colbert in Reims (both France ), with the Escuela Anoia in Igualada near Barcelona ( Spain ) as well as schools in China and India .
Cooperations
The school cooperates with the youth work of the city of Öhringen, the youth music school of the city of Öhringen, the city library of Öhringen and a private dance school.
building
Probably since the school was founded around 1545, the grammar school was housed in the Öhringer Stift. The school was relocated to another location only after the Second World War because of the great shortage of space due to the growing number of students . On April 20, 1956, the new school building with auditorium in Weygangstrasse was inaugurated, into which the then 400 students moved. Due to the strong growth in the number of students, another building had to be built, which was inaugurated on May 19, 1973. The space requirements for 34 classes with 1,013 students could just be covered. In 1998 another extension was inaugurated, which mostly houses the biology specialist rooms. In 2002 the old auditorium was replaced by a new one. A separate gymnasium is available for physical education in the basement of the C-building as well as other gyms in the city (Alte Turnhalle, Hohenlohe-Halle, Römerbadhalle) and the Öhringer Stadium for physical exercise in summer.
