The Luisenschule is a high school in the city of Mülheim an der Ruhr . It got its current name after Queen Luise , who has enjoyed great popularity for a long time since her stay as a young girl at Broich Castle in Mülheim an der Ruhr.

School history

Today's Luisenschule goes back to a private high school for girls founded in 1838, which was an extension of the - also private - high school for girls founded in 1835. On July 7, 1852, the city of Mülheim an der Ruhr founded the first public higher boys 'school, into which the classes of the girls' school were in turn integrated. The first director of the two facilities was Wilhelm Gallenkamp.

Since 1858, the respective prorector of the boys 'school performed the duties of the director of the girls' school. Vice-Rectors were successively Karl Gustav Andresen (1858–1863), Oskar Natorp (1863–1873) and Ludwig Finsterbusch (1873–1884). In 1884 the two institutions were finally separated: the girls' school became independent and the former prorector Ludwig Finsterbusch became its first director. On the occasion of the move to a new school building, the school was given the name "Luisenschule" in 1892, which it still bears today.

In 1899 the director Finsterbusch was retired. His successor Eduard Meyer celebrated the 50th anniversary of the school with a festive ceremony in 1902. From 1911, recognized higher girls' schools were entitled to use the designation “ Lyceum ”. Since then, the Luisenschule has had the suffix "Lyceum der Stadt Mülheim an der Ruhr" for a long time.

Easter 1926 the school buildings of the Luisenschule include the main building and a villa on Adolfstraße, the last block of the barracks (Kaiserstraße / corner of Südstraße) and the municipal kindergarten on Werdener Weg. This year the first matriculation examination will be held.

From Easter 1939, following a ministerial decree, secondary school had to be finished after eight instead of nine years. Due to the effects of the Second World War, there were frequent relocations. The classrooms in the barracks were confiscated by the police, and lessons were moved to a wing of the middle school on Oberstrasse. In addition, the army administration occupied the building of the Luisenschule, so that a move to Eduardstraße 6 (today Martin-von-Tours-Schule) had to take place. The bombing raid on Mülheim on June 22, 1943 caused a fire in the school building on Adolfstrasse. The school had to be closed indefinitely; lessons were temporarily started in the building of the Langemarck School (today Otto-Pankok Gymnasium). In October 1943, 60 schoolgirls and three teachers were sent to Czechoslovakia with the Kinderland Dispatch. They drove to Prague, from there first to the Lettin camp near Pilsen and were transferred to the Beching camp near Tabor around Easter 1944. The return to Mülheim took place on August 5, 1945. In February 1945, classes in Mülheim began in the form of working groups, but were often disrupted by air raids. On April 11, 1945 during the occupation of Mülheim by the American troops, the working groups were dissolved again.

Since autumn 1945 the boys 'schools have been called grammar schools again, and the girls' schools have been given back the old title of university. School time was also extended from eight to nine years. Due to the severe war damage, lessons were not started in the Luisenschule, but in the middle school building. The students of both schools were taught in one building.

In 1950, a school reform brought the teaching content and goals into line with the boys' school. The college was now called the New Language Girls' High School. In 1951 the Luisenschule moved to the Holthausen district, to today's school building at An den Buchen 36. The pupils had to commute between the two school buildings, as today's new building with the specialist rooms was still missing in the new building.

In 1973 the Luisenschule became a coeducational school with a reformed upper level, i.e. H. there is the first mixed year with girls and boys. In the upper school, the class association was replaced by the course system. With the construction of the bungalow and pavilion in 1974, replacement rooms were made available, because the Luisenschule now had 1,400 students. It was the first school in Mülheim to receive a large computer. In 2002 the school celebrated its 150th anniversary. In 2010 the city of Mülheim decided to renovate and modernize the school building as part of a PPP project for 1110 students. The atrium was roofed over and a large cafeteria was set up. A massive new building replaced the pavilion and bungalow. The school grounds were redesigned.
