history

In 1925, the "Städtische Knabenmittelschule Essen-Süd" was inaugurated in Essen-Rellinghausen on Rübezahlstrasse. Today the Rellinghauser " Kunsthaus Essen " is located there. The school itself has the first documents for 1934; documents may have been destroyed during the Second World War. After the resumption of classes in 1945, the students had to endure long shifts with morning and afternoon classes.

School history bw.jpg

In 1953 the groundbreaking ceremony for a new school building on Ardeyplatz took place - the first ever new school building in the city of Essen after the Second World War. In the following year, classes began in the new classrooms. The school still bore the now old-fashioned name, so that a new name was proposed from among its members during these years: "Schellenbergschule" it should now be called; this proposal was rejected by the city council of Essen. Since 1956 there has been a differentiation from grade 9 into a mathematical-scientific and a linguistic branch, and since 1999 there has been a differentiation of inclinations from grade 8.

At the beginning of the 1960s, the school was given a new name. This time the names "Friedrich-Ebert-Realschule" - after the first Reich President of the Weimar Republic and "Albert-Einstein-School" - after the Jewish Nobel Prize winner for physics - were proposed. It is interesting that Albert Einstein's heirs were reluctant to give their consent, because the physicist had also withdrawn internally from Germany and forbade naming during his lifetime - especially in the western part of Germany. The city council of Essen approved the second proposal, so that the school has had this name since 1962. The following school years are characterized by many innovations:

The trial stage was introduced at Easter 1965; In 1966 and 1967 short school years were carried out and the transfer date was moved from Easter to summer; In 1971, Saturday classes were moved to a school afternoon so that the AES became one of the first schools in Essen with a free Saturday; from 1973 the lessons were given co-educational. In addition to these reforms, the school also developed a repertoire of school events. Some of them still exist today:

School camps on Amrum and Hörnum / Sylt, ski sport companies, first in Oberstdorf and since 1968 in Mittenwald, 10th grade stays abroad in the Netherlands, France and England.

Today the school is still protected on the edge of Rellinghausen, adjacent to a nature reserve and the Schellenberg Forest. The catchment area of ​​the school has changed: from Rellinghausen and Stadtwald via Überruhr, Burgaltendorf and Kupferdreh to Heisingen, Bredeney and Rüttenscheid, students come today. The Realschule as a type of school has seen increasing numbers of pupils despite many competing offers in Essen and also nationwide, so that its continued existence is assured.

On February 1st, 2004 the school was renamed Albert Einstein Realschule.
