The Artland-Gymnasium in Quakenbrück (AGQ) is a secondary school in the Artland region for students in grades 5 to 13. The gymnasium dates back to a Latin school that was first mentioned in 1354 and is one of the oldest schools in Lower Saxony .
history
The Artland-Gymnasium or its predecessors were the only secondary school in the Osnabrück region for centuries .
So far it has not been possible to conclusively clarify when the first higher educational institution in Quakenbrück was built. It is certain that in 1354 a rector scolarum in Quakenbr. (School director in Quakenbrück) is mentioned in a document. The chroniclers agree that it was an institution of the Collegiate Chapter St. Sylvester, which originally had to care for the clergy. The city must have participated since 1507 at the latest, which is evident from a number of invoices. Until 1893 the school was housed in an extension to the Quakenbrücker St. Sylvester Church.
In 1647 the dean Vitus Büscher redesigned the school system. The old Latin school was combined with the Protestant elementary school, with a Catholic school remaining. When the monopoly of Latin teaching fell in the course of the 19th century, the Quakenbrücker Magistrate applied for the conversion to a Progymnasium, which began operations in 1832 with three teachers, three classes and 40 students, the number of which, however, steadily decreased until it was “entitled higher citizen school ”to the Realgymnasium and achieved increasing numbers of pupils.
In 1874 the school moved to a new building on Grosse Mühlenstrasse, which was subsequently expanded and rebuilt several times. In 1964 a new building became necessary after the number of students had risen to 550.
The city of Quakenbrück provided a 3.04 hectare site in the southeast of the city center of Quakenbrück, only a few hundred meters from the market square. The district constructed the building for a construction cost of almost 7 million DM , a school complex with a sports hall for around 700 pupils and an auditorium with a stage and orchestra pit, which is also used by the city's cultural ring for theater events. The inauguration of the school took place on January 20, 1967, the keynote address was given by the Quakenbrücker and then Minister for Economics and Transport, Karl Möller .
location
The AGQ is located in the south-east of Quakenbrück's old town, "Am Deich" near the river Kleine Mühlenhase and the Deichsee, but also near the city center, the train station and other transport connections.
The AGQ today
At the school, around 800 students are taught by 67 teachers and supervised in courses and working groups.
The school complex has a break hall, a sports hall, a youth library, a library for grades 8-10 and grades 11 and 12, a lounge for grade 12 and a school garden. In addition, the Artland Arena is used for physical education and the Quakenbrücker swimming pool for swimming lessons. A new canteen has existed since 2008 and a new auditorium since 2015, after the old auditorium from 1967 was demolished in 2013.
Since 2013, the school has been actively maintaining a network of contacts in the local economy, which is intended to make it easier for students to start their professional life through internships and grants. For the first time, the 2015 Abitur class had the opportunity to have activities in preparation for their study and career choices certified, but this certificate was awarded for the first time in 2014.
Upper school
At the Artland-Gymnasium, a technical focus is chosen in the upper level . This can be linguistic, social, scientific or athletic.
All day school
In addition to normal lessons, the Artland-Gymnasium offers additional learning opportunities and activities.
The topics of the various groups are: mopeds, chess, books, computer science, photography, performing arts (theater and musicals), music (school band, strings, wind instruments), languages (English, Spanish and Dutch), biology ("experiencing nature" and Natural history) and sports (soccer, basketball, hip-hop, and zumba). In addition, remedial classes are offered in German, English, mathematics, Latin and French. Bilingual lessons have been offered since the 2005/06 school year, for grades 7 and 8 in geography and for grades 9 and 10 in history.
A school medical service has been in place since the 2018/19 school year.
The musical and theater AG give regular performances in front of a public audience, whereby the theater AG has already participated in a national theater meeting.
For a time, the Informatik-AG took care of the maintenance of the AGQ website, meanwhile the markup language HTML is taught there, with which the students can design their personal website on a subdomain of the school.
The school newspaper, Das Wendeblatt , at times Q-Side , was published by a school editorial team, but the youngest editors graduated from high school in 2012, and there has been no school newspaper since then.
Student exchange
Since the 1950s there has been a student exchange with the Lycée Alain in Alençon in Normandy , from which the Quakenbrück-Alençon town partnership emerged.
