history
The school was founded on April 27, 1960 as the "Höchst Middle School " with 261 students in seven school classes. Four school classes were housed in the Emil von Behring School in Frankfurt-Griesheim , the remaining school classes and the headmaster in today's branch office on Justinusplatz opposite the Justinuskirche (Höchst) . Teachers' rooms , specialist rooms and gymnasium were not available and the school furniture was provided by other schools in Frankfurt.
In September 1960 the four school classes housed in Griesheim were able to move to Frankfurt-Höchst, in three rooms of the former school building of the Helene-Lange-Schule at Hostatostraße 31. After the Helene-Lange-Schule moved to today's main building of the Robert-Koch-Schule at Luciusstrasse 2, six school classes and the headmaster moved into the vacant school building in Hostatostrasse. A school secretariat was set up.
On September 16, 1961, the school was given its current name after the bacteriologist Robert Koch (1843-1910). The aim was to establish a connection with Hoechst AG , headquartered in Frankfurt-Höchst, at that time one of the largest chemical and pharmaceutical companies in Germany. In the same year the number of students rose to 341.
The number of pupils rose to 413 in the school year 1962/1963, of which 215 were boys and 198 were girls. The number of school classes rose from ten in the previous year to twelve. Due to a lack of space and a lack of teachers, 46 lessons a week were canceled at times . From January 23 to February 9, 1963, the classrooms heated with oil stoves in the branch office at Justinusplatz had to be closed due to a lack of oil.
In the school year 1963/1964, 21 full-time and four part-time teachers taught at the school. Physics and mathematics were taught separately in the seventh and eighth grades for boys and girls. In the following school year 1964/1965, two more full-time teachers were added.
The number of pupils rose in the school year 1965/1966 and due to the lack of space, three "hiking classes" were set up, i. H. Classrooms were used by two classes alternately.
Since the Helene-Lange-Schule received a new school building, the classes from Hostatostraße were finally able to move into the current main building on Luciusstraße in the 1967/1968 school year. Both schools shared the pavilion in the schoolyard for the first time in the 1963/1964 school year .
A new gymnasium was built in the schoolyard in 1969. The number of students rose to 500 and specialist rooms for teaching physics , chemistry , music , crafts and cooking were created .
The school's friends' association was founded in 1999 . In the school year 2000/2001 the number of pupils was 471, of which 219 were boys and 252 girls. The proportion of foreigners was 43.5%.
school-building
The representative main building of the school at Luciusstraße 2 is a cultural monument . It was built in 1890 in the neo-renaissance style from clinker brick with a gabled portal risalit . The portal from the construction period and many details of the interior have been preserved. In the entrance area of the building there is a replica of a relief by Robert Koch, which the school received from the Robert Koch Institute in Berlin when it was named in 1961 .
The school's branch office is opposite the Justinuskirche on Justinusplatz (house number 7, location ), which is used as a schoolyard . The late classical school building, built around 1840 , is also a cultural monument and is used by school classes 5 and 6.
