The Adalbert-Stifter-Gymnasium is the oldest secondary school in the city of Castrop-Rauxel . It was founded in 1884 and is now centrally located on the edge of the old town of Castrop. Namesake was after the Second World War, the poet and pedagogue Adalbert Stifter .

Current

The school is a municipal high school and is oriented towards science and technology. It had 945 students in the 2017/2018 school year. The language of instruction is German . Foreign languages ​​taught are English , French and Latin . Russian and Spanish are offered in the upper level . The ASG has been cooperating with the Ernst-Barlach-Gymnasium for subjects that are in low demand for decades . Afternoon care is available.

location

The high school is located on the edge of the old town of Castrop (Leonhardstr. 8, 44575 Castrop-Rauxel), directly opposite the market and therefore very central. The bus station is a five-minute walk away and guarantees the best connection of all schools to all parts of the city. For this reason, pupils who come from the outskirts of the city and would be geographically closer to an equivalent school, but which would be more difficult to reach, are often integrated at the ASG.

The property is largely open-plan, especially since Leonhardstraße runs through the middle as a public path. However, the school yard behind the main building was fenced in in 2018, which restricted public use. Leonhardstrasse Strasse has been incorporated since 1983 and is legally regarded as a schoolyard in the area of ​​the building. The buildings include the main building (rooms 1xx to 4xx), the upper level building (rooms 5xx) with the small auditorium, the cafeteria, the large auditorium with the adjoining community center and the gymnasium, which is designed as a multi-purpose hall. The upper level building and the cafeteria are now a listed building.

To the west, on this side of Schillerstraße, there is a secondary school, the original building of which was across Schillerstraße.

The nearby soccer field served as a sports field for many years until it was built over. In summer the now defunct Südbad was used as a swimming pool. The city garden is used for running training.

Structural features

Director's villa
Upper level building

Today's cafeteria with the school library was originally the building of the city director. Later it was used as a residential building for both caretakers until it got its current purpose. Due to its origins and the practically unchanged structure, it was placed under monument protection.

The upper level building next to it is also a listed building.

The roof of the main building and the roof of the gym serve as a carrier for a photovoltaic system .

One of the two schoolyards is a public street. Legally, it is considered to be school premises in the school area and is therefore subject to the domiciliary rights of the principal. The street runs between the main building and the listed buildings.

Importance for the city

For decades, until the co-education introduced in 1970, the ASG was the city's only higher school for boys. That is why the vast majority of important local personalities - doctors, lawyers and entrepreneurs - had graduated from this high school until the 1990s.

history

  • 1884 - Josef Dahmen receives on April 8 by the responsible official approval, a private church school to set up for boys. Lessons begin with 17 students and a teacher in the Kalthoff inn.
  • 1886 - Placement in a vacated hospital.
  • 1904 - The school becomes urban. Both sexes are taught separately.
  • 1906 - Move into the newly built, today's upper level building.
  • 1912 - The Rector's School is separated from the Progymnasium , girls 'and boys' schools.
  • 1913 - The northern part of today's main building is erected.
  • 1920 - The school becomes a full high school.
  • 1929 - The main building is expanded.
  • 1943 - Schools take place in Schneidemühl / Pomerania due to the war .
  • 1951 - The building, which was destroyed in the war, is rebuilt.
  • 1959 - There is no school fee and English becomes the first foreign language.
  • 1960 - The main building is expanded to include the natural science wing. The school gets its current name.
  • 1963 - The large auditorium, which burns down in 1982, is built. After the fire, the square becomes a wild parking lot and finally becomes part of the secondary school.
  • 1968 - The upper level is reformed according to a concept that the ASG developed itself.

  • 1973 - The blue pavilion is built and only demolished in 2008.
  • 1975 - The triple gymnasium is built.
  • 1983 - Leonhardstrasse is rebuilt. The aim was to remove the blocked road and sidewalks through a pedestrian zone.
