The Andreas-Gymnasium is a grammar school in Berlin-Friedrichshain . The school's previous names were Stralauer Stadtschule, Andreas School (from 1869), Andreas Realgymnasium (from 1882), EOS “Friedrich Engels” (from 1972) and Andreas Oberschule (1992-2017).

history

In the summer of 1830, a piece of land was acquired on Stralauer Platz and the Stralauer Stadtschule was opened on October 7, 1833 as a town school. At the start of school, 54 boys and girls were taught in four classes (two upper and lower grades) and a little later an existing private school for girls and boys was incorporated. After 1836 school fees were reduced and the curriculum was expanded to include Latin and French. Despite the poverty of the population, two new upper classes emerged. After the construction of the Schilling Bridge (1841), 70 children from wealthy families in Luisenstadt also took part in the lessons. There were first mixed classes within the school, which was expanded to include a 5th boys class after 1854. In 1859 the school was only run as a secondary school , as there were no final classes. From 1860 only boys were taught at the school.

Although the Stralau city school slowly became known, many parents took their children out of the school's upper classes because of an increase in school fees. In 1862 the street was named Andreasstraße , and in 1864 Andreasplatz was built . On March 15, 1865, the Stralauer Stadtschule was elevated to a higher level civic school, renamed the Andreas School in 1869 and was authorized to issue diplomas.

Since the building on Stralauer Platz had become too small, the move to Lange Straße 31 took place in 1873. The Andreas School was recognized as a first -class secondary school in 1876, and the first high school graduate was recorded in the book of honor for high school graduates in 1877. Since 1882 the school was allowed to call itself the Andreas Realgymnasium .

In the 1880s and 1890s, the population in the Stralau district rose sharply, so that the school had 563 pupils in 1897. On April 30, 1906, due to the lack of space and the noise of the railway due to the proximity of the Silesian train station, the move to a new building in the Renaissance style costing around 1.5 million Reichsmarks took place. The new "school palace" with modern science cabinets was located at Koppenstrasse 76.

After the First World War , the November Revolution led to new educational principles. The spirit of freedom and international reconciliation became the motto, a student council represented the interests of students, students and teachers were granted equal voting rights. Gustav Stresemann donated 10,000 Reichsmarks in 1922 on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of his Abitur at the Andreas Gymnasium. The Stresemann school library was created through the purchase of books.

In 1968, the two expanded secondary schools in the Friedrichshain district - the Georg Friedrich Händel secondary school and the Andreas secondary school - were combined to establish the Abitur level. In 1972 the school was renamed EOS Friedrich-Engels . After reunification , the school was named Andreas Oberschule after a vote in 1992 . On October 7, 1998, the 165th school anniversary was celebrated.

In July 1998, the reconstruction of the science rooms, which were completed in 2000, began. The range of courses was subsequently expanded to include additional subjects: u. a. Business @ School , a French and English language diploma, social sciences and economics and psychology and role play . In 2011 a block hour model and a learning material fund were introduced. Since 2012, a 5th class with a mathematical and scientific profile has been enrolled for the first time. In 2014, the amphitheater was built in the first major courtyard project , and in the same year the renovation of nine classrooms in the south wing began. In 2014 the school was certified as a “school with excellent vocational orientation”. In accordance with the decision of the Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg District Office, the school was renamed Andreas-Gymnasium in the second half of the 2016/17 school year .

In the 2020/2021 school year, the school is working on an expanded digital concept. The HPI school cloud was introduced by the Hasso Plattner Institute . Free WiFi is created in cooperation with Freifunk and is a project of the school's internal student council .

Working groups

Various working groups have been set up at the school, including a working group to support Kindernothilfe , technical and specialist working groups and working groups dealing with religion, sport and chess.
