The Alfred Krupp School is a municipal high school in the Essen district of Holsterhausen .

history

prehistory

A first school building was erected in 1813 on the site of today's gymnasium of the Alfred Krupp School. It replaced a dilapidated Catholic denominational school, which was first mentioned in 1685 and was located on the area of ​​today's Bertha Krupp School in the northeast . This first school was located at the intersection of the former villages of Altendorf , Frohnhausen and Holsterhausen, which had formed the mayor's office of Altendorf since 1874 . The school was structurally expanded in 1838 and 1847 due to the emerging mining industry and the resulting increase in population in the region. At the end of the 19th century, the time of industrialization, the population increased explosively due to the rapidly growing, neighboring Krupp cast steel factory and further mining, so that several new schools were built in the area.

From high school to high school

The old building of the Alfred Krupp School, which is still preserved today, was inaugurated in 1908 as a secondary school with a preschool. On April 23, 1908, lessons began under the first headmaster, Mr. Swet. In May 1910 the name Krupp-Oberrealschule , or KO in the vernacular , was decided by the city council. The school was a concession by the city of Essen in the incorporation contract of the mayor's office of Altendorf from 1901.

The Essen national newspaper reported on November 25, 1935 that now almost 100 percent of the students in the Krupp secondary school, it was a pure boys' school, were members of the Hitler Youth , so that their flag was hoisted at the school.

On the occasion of the 125th birthday of the industrialist Alfred Krupp , the school was renamed the Alfred Krupp School in 1937. The Second World War left the building destroyed as a result of air raids in 1942, children were sent to the Kinderlandverschickung and lessons sometimes had to take place alternately in the building of what was then the Humboldt Gymnasium, today's Frida Levy Comprehensive School .

Since 1960, girls have also been admitted to the boys’s grammar school, which is later to be taught in mathematics and science. Teaching for both sexes simultaneously as a coeducational school was introduced in 1976. In 2001 the city of Essen had plans to close the Alfred Krupp School due to the high density of grammar schools in the city and the falling number of pupils. After all, they were not implemented.

Today's school

Today's Alfred Krupp School is a general educational, urban high school for boys and girls. Since September 2006 it has had the seal of school without racism - school with courage , and in February 2007 it also received the seal of approval for individual support from the state of North Rhine-Westphalia and the award of the state parenting association for social learning .
