The Askanische Gymnasium is a school in the Berlin district of Tempelhof-Schöneberg (Tempelhof district). In 1875 the school was founded in Berlin's Friedrichsvorstadt under the name Ascanisches Gymnasium , in the Hallesche Strasse 24-26 building . It was relocated to Tempelhof from 1929, merged several times with other grammar schools and reform grammar schools and renamed. After 1945 it was called Askanische Oberschule , but was renamed Askanisches Gymnasium again in 2012 .

history

In 1875 the school was founded as a grammar school , i.e. as an elite school in ancient languages. It was located at Halleschen Strasse 24-26 in Berlin's Friedrichsvorstadt. It was named after the nearby Askanischer Platz . The first director was Woldemar Ribbeck . The teaching staff consisted of 15 colleagues; 159 students attended the three pre-school classes and 441 students attended the seven high school classes.

The Askanisches Gymnasium remained in Halleschen Strasse until 1929. Then, due to the heavy migration from the residential districts of the city center, it was merged with the Tempelhofer Gymnasium, which had its domicile at the Wittelsbacherkorso in Berlin-Tempelhof , today's Boelckestrasse . There it was opened on April 9, 1929 with a ceremony as the United Askanisches and Tempelhofer Gymnasium .

At the end of August 1943, "the Aska" (as it is called in the student mouth) was closed due to the threat of the aerial warfare and the younger students were evacuated to what was then the " Reich Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia " (now the Czech Republic), namely to so-called "KLV camps" , first to the Hostein in Moravia, then to the Salesianer institution in Freistadtl near Zlin and finally to the village of Schüttenhofen (Sušice). The older students stayed in Berlin as flak helpers and received limited instruction in their flak accommodation. On the occasion of their subsequent drafting for the Reich Labor Service or the Wehrmacht , they were awarded a secondary school diploma.

After the Second World War , it was relocated to Kaiserin-Augusta- Strasse 19/20 in September 1945 and merged with the former Leo-Schlageter- School. The school building there was inaugurated in 1911 for the Reform Realgymnasium Tempelhof, and in 1938 it was renamed the Leo Schlageter School. The school remained a grammar school after 1945, but was renamed the Askanische Oberschule for school policy reasons and was an "OWZ (Oberschule scientific branch) ". In September 2012, it was renamed Askanisches Gymnasium , as it could not otherwise be identified as a gymnasium.

School coat of arms

The school coat of arms shows a checkerboard coat of arms with nine fields in black and white (originally twelve fields, oldest document 1917), under the heading "Aska". This school coat of arms evidently goes back to the high school rowing club "Ascania" founded in 1904, whose first two boats were called "Askania" and "Hohenzollern". The coat of arms was derived from the coat of arms of the Hohenzollern , the successors of the Ascanian margraves of Brandenburg . On the uniform school sportswear (for all of Tempelhof) since 1949 (black trousers with white stripes and white shirts with a black chest stripe) the coat of arms was worn on the chest stripe. The often successful boats of the rowers carried the coat of arms as a pennant . The coat of arms was also shown on flags on special occasions (admission ceremony for the 7th grade, school sports championships).
