The BORG Innsbruck ( Bundes-Oberstufenrealgymnasium Innsbruck ) is an upper level secondary school in Innsbruck .
history
The BORG Innsbruck was originally founded in 1766 in the old town (Kuepachgasse 10) as a "normal secondary school", in which teachers were trained in the upper classes. In 1819 it was elevated to the status of a “model secondary school”. 50 years later it was converted in 1869 into the "kk teacher training institute and model secondary school in Innsbruck" (LBA).
In 1877, the new building was moved to its current location in Fallmerayerstr. 7 um. This location has been preserved and renovated to this day. After the school had been called "Musisch-Pädagogisches Realgymnasium" (MUPÄD) from 1963, it was renamed in 1976 as the "Bundes-Oberstufenrealgymnasium".
School branches
The BORG Innsbruck lasts a total of four years and is divided into five main areas:
- Human biology,
- Instrumental vowel,
- Nature and technology,
- Art theory workshop and
- foreign languages
In addition, there is the sports and music high school, which, unlike the others, take a period of five years.
From the 6th grade onwards, the pupils who have chosen any branch are taught six hours per week in the respective areas of focus. The focus must be specified by the beginning of the 2nd semester of the 5th grade. At the end of the 6th grade, each student must also decide on a compulsory elective subject, which must then be attended two hours per week in the 7th and 8th grade.
building
The listed building was built in 1875/76 by the Jacob Norer company according to plans by the architect F. Schöck. Around 1957 it was changed according to the changed requirements and a portal porch and a gymnasium were added. The school was the first completed Wilhelminian monumental building in the district between Anichstraße and Maximilian Street, he was followed by others, such as the building of the Regional Court (1884/88) and the main post office (1905/08).
The BORG is a three-story, symmetrically constructed building in the neo-renaissance style over an E-shaped floor plan. The free-standing building is set back in the street from Fallmerayerstraße and is centrally located in the line of sight of Schmerlingstraße. The facade is structured with corner risers , rustication , ashlar plaster and continuous cornices. In the middle of the entrance facade is the portal from the 1950s. The vestibule is adorned with wall paintings by Max Spielmann depicting school scenes (children reading, writing and playing). At the rear is the ballroom with a coffered ceiling and four arched windows. The corridors on the ground floor are provided with barrel or cross vaults. In the corner projections there are two monumental staircases with a three-armed marble staircase, cross-vaulted platforms and wooden, marbled dock balustrades. On the first intermediate podium there is a floor-to-ceiling wooden crucifix by Josef Staud (1957) in the north, and the mosaic of a Madonna in a protective cloak by Richard Kurt Fischer (1958) in the south .
