The Albert-Einstein-Gymnasium (AEG) is a high school in the Duisburg district of Rumeln-Kaldenhausen . The AEG is particularly characterized by its MINT focus as well as by cooperation with the surrounding universities and local companies. At present 913 students are taught by around 90 teachers and trainee teachers. The catchment area of ​​the AEG mainly comprises the Duisburg districts Rumeln-Kaldenhausen and Rheinhausen as well as the Moers district Vennikel .

School history

The Krupp works began to settle in Rheinhausen at the end of the 19th century. As a result, many residents from Rumeln and Kaldenhausen, two villages that were united in 1934, found work. Due to the boom in coal and steel and the decline of agriculture, a great deal of agricultural land was converted into building land for owner-occupied homes and company apartments in Rumeln-Kaldenhausen , and the population rose to around 15,000 by 1970.

The local administration Rumeln-Kaldenhausen had every year difficulties finding a place in the surrounding schools for the children who wanted to attend a grammar school. In addition, the high schools in the neighboring cities were overcrowded and there was no possibility of expanding their classrooms. At a meeting of the council of the Rumeln-Kaldenhausen community on February 27, 1969, it was decided to build a natural science high school with a modern language branch, whereby only the modern language focus could prevail and the school was only oriented towards natural science in the mid-1990s. The need was so great that registrations were already in place at the planning stage. On September 7, 1970, two teachers were recruited.

When the first school year began in 1970/71, not even a school building was planned. That is why all students were taught in the rooms of the Marienfeld primary school in Rumeln-Kaldenhausen . At the very beginning, only the subjects mathematics, German, English, geography, biology and needlework were taught. Pastors came once a week to give religious education, and on December 1, 1970, physical education began. In the 1973/74 school year, the community built a new building for students with special needs, so that the high school students could move into the former special school building that had become vacant.

A name was sought for the new school from the end of 1973 until the school finally chose the name Albert Einstein Gymnasium and decided on it at a meeting of the school association in February 1974. On May 6th 1974 the foundation stone for today's school building was laid. The building was not completed on August 1, 1975, as originally planned, but could only be occupied after the 1975/76 Christmas break.

The first Abitur was written at the end of the 1978/79 school year and successfully passed by all 28 students.

School life

Student Council

The student council (SV) takes part in school conferences and represents the student body. She is elected annually by the class and level representatives of all years. All students can contact the SV at any time.

In the past, SV planned and organized various events such as a sponsored run in which half of the money was donated to the Bertha Hospital in Duisburg, carnival and Halloween parties and (together with Q2) the teacher-student Duel. The entire school comes together in the gym and watches some of the students and teachers fight for the trophy. Furthermore, the SV organizes the sale of school shirts with the school logo every year.

Students help students

The school offers tutoring organized by the students themselves. Students of the higher grades give the younger ones tuition after paying a small fee.

language

The AEG offers students a wide range of courses with a focus on language.

In the eighth grade, those who chose Latin in the sixth grade have the option of choosing French. Latin can be chosen in the introductory phase (EF); Then you get the latinum at the end of Q2. In addition, students can choose Italian or Japanese for the EF, with Japanese lessons taking place in cooperation with the Steinbart-Gymnasium (Duisburg).

The school enables the acquisition of language certificates. Students in grades 9-Q1 can take the Cambridge certificates (PET, FCE and CAE), French students the DELF certificates and Italian students the CELI certificates.

Special subjects

In the seventh and ninth grades, students can choose geography and biology bilingually. For the eighth school year, students can choose between the following subjects as part of the compulsory elective lessons:

  • Representation and design
  • Biochemistry
  • Computer science
  • Politics economy
  • French

Project course

In the eleventh school year (Q1), students can take part in a project course. This course is graded and replaces the technical work that has to be written in the second half of Q1. Theater (German) and astronomy (mathematics) are currently offered as project courses.

Student exchange

The Albert-Einstein-Gymnasium maintains school partnerships with two schools in Italy and Lithuania . The goals behind the partnerships are deepening and getting to know other languages ​​and cultures. In addition, the exchanges should promote the cosmopolitanism of the students and peace between the countries.

The idea of ​​a student exchange with the country of Lithuania came from the then Russian teacher in 1989. This idea was mainly supported by the positive feedback from the then still active exchange with the French city of Calais and the recently concluded city partnership between Duisburg and the Lithuanian capital Vilnius . However, the realization of this idea turned out to be very problematic, since the two cities are separated by a distance of about 1500 km and because Lithuania was still part of the Soviet Union at that time. Despite all the difficulties, the first student exchange took place in 1991.

Fall Academy

The Autumn Academy takes place at the AEG every year during the autumn break. There, pupils from the surrounding primary schools can carry out over 40 experiments in the fields of biology, chemistry and physics over a period of three days. They are helped by high school students and teachers. In addition, employees of the ArcelorMittal group and scientists from universities offer lectures on scientific topics such as earth, fire, water, air and the senses. At the end of the three days there is a physics show, which is carried out by the Freestyle Physics AG. ArcelorMittal is also the school's main sponsor.

Working groups

At the Albert-Einstein-Gymnasium there are around 25 working groups. These are predominantly sporty, linguistic, social and scientific-oriented.

School newspaper

The school newspaper "relativ²" has been published every six months since 2010. Each issue is specifically dedicated to a special focus topic, but there are also articles from everyday school life or everyday life. The main work is currently with the twelve-person editorial staff who take care of the regular articles. Students who are not part of the editorial team can also submit guest contributions. In 2018, the school newspaper took third place for the second time in the Sparkasse school newspaper competition at city level. In 2019, unfortunately, it was only enough for 4th place.

School medical service

The school medical service , also known as SSD for short, takes care of injuries to students during breaks and events, such as the Halloween party. During the breaks, there are two students in the room, which is right next to the cafeteria (room 39) and two students outside in the schoolyard, who watch out that nobody is injured. If someone is injured, they are the contact persons. The school medical service is made up of pupils who have successfully completed first aid training from the 7th grade onwards. This training is donated by the JRK. If someone is seriously injured, the first aiders will refer to the doctor or notify the parents or rescue workers via the secretariat.

Sports helper

The sports assistants are trained at the school and receive a certificate and T-shirts after passing the exam. You can also train yourself as a group leader and trainer. As of recently, it is possible to acquire a C instructor license at the grammar school. You organize the school's sports festival and can take part as referee. In addition, the sports helpers can set up and manage an AG for two. As a group leader you can be a referee at large events and thus take on more responsibility. The trainer can lead a working group alone.

Einstein day

The Einstein day (open day) takes place annually in January. It is mainly aimed at elementary school students in the fourth year of school and their parents, who can get their first impressions of the school. For example, you can carry out experiments in the natural science rooms, do handicrafts in the art rooms of the studio or buy fruit in the Italian room. Furthermore, guests can explore the school with the guidance of a high school student or a teacher.
