organization
The Max-Windmüller-Gymnasium is an all-day school . The range of subjects, especially in the afternoons, is partly an optional program. About 70 teachers teach at the school. In addition, there are 5 other employees as non-teaching staff. The grammar school has been a European school for a long time and maintains official contacts with other schools in other European countries, as well as in Israel and the USA, in Central and South America and in Japan.
Rowing high school
The high school has been cooperating with the Emden rowing club since 2009 . As a rowing school, the sixth grade students learn to row in physical education. In addition, every year the school runs an ergometer -ReGaTta (the internal abbreviation GaT is reminiscent of the old school name Gymnasium am Treckfahrtstief ) for grades 5 to 7 and a dragon boat -ReGaTta for the whole school. In 2015, a donation ergometer ReGaTta was held for the first time.
Career orientation
The grammar school carries out a wide range of measures for vocational orientation of the students. Particularly noteworthy is the annual project “You can touch the economy”, which is carried out annually in the 9th grade and received the special prize “Economic Education” from the Hans Beutz Foundation in 2009. In this project, the students explore several Emden companies within a week and then present them at a presentation event. In 2010 the initiative “Action Group Gütesiegel Weser-Ems”, founded by the Chambers of Industry, Commerce and Crafts, attested the grammar school “many achievements to improve and secure the training ability of its pupils” and certified the school as a quality seal school.
history
The Max-Windmüller-Gymnasium Emden has several predecessor institutions. It was founded in 1872 as a municipal secondary school for girls. This was located on Grosse Burgstrasse and later on Ringstrasse. In 1905 it was named Kaiserin-Auguste-Viktoria-Schule and in 1905 became a Lyceum . The buildings of this school were destroyed in the bombing raid on Emden on September 6, 1944. The lessons then took place provisionally in the rooms of the district court and at the Wallschule. From 1959 to 1978 it was a women's high school.
On April 27, 1965, it then moved into rooms at Treckfahrtstief as a high school for girls. After the decision to also take in boys (introduction of co-education at the two Emden grammar schools), the school was renamed the grammar school at Treckfahrtstief Emden in 1971. In the 143rd year of its existence, the grammar school again moved into new rooms. As part of the school structure reform decided by the Emden Council, the school moved into a new building at the Früchteburg school center at the beginning of the 2015/2016 school year and was given its current name there.
