history
Site history
At the place where the Bertha-Krupp-Realschule's schoolyard is today, a school was first mentioned in 1685, which was built on the initiative and with the consent of the Essen princess Anna Salome von Salm-Reifferscheidt . This Catholic denominational school was located at the intersection of the three former villages and today's Essen districts: Frohnhausen, Altendorf and Holsterhausen , at that time on the Nölkesbusch. It was the only school for these three still rural villages, the so-called three-peasantry. At the beginning of the 19th century, classes in this building had to be abandoned due to its disrepair. A new school building was built in 1813 not far to the south-west, where the gym of the Alfred-Krupp-Gymnasium is today. As the era of industrialization arrived, and more and more workers for the up-and-coming coal mining industry and the neighboring Krupp cast steel factory immigrated, more schools were built in the three rapidly growing settlements, which together formed the mayor's office of Altendorf from 1874 and which were incorporated into the city of Essen in 1901 were.
Today's school
The origin of today's school lies in the independent girls' secondary school on Altendorfer Straße in Essen from 1927.
In 1961 the current school building on Kerckhoffstrasse, a piece of land made available by Friedrich Krupp AG , was handed over to its intended use, initially as a girls' secondary school. So it came about that the school in the district shaped by Krupp was given the name of an important family member of the industrial family Krupp . Bertha Krupp was the first of two daughters of the former company owner Friedrich Alfred Krupp and his wife Margarethe . Bertha Krupp became the sole heir. She married Gustav von Bohlen und Halbach , who was then allowed to call himself Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach , and later became chairman of the supervisory board of Friedrich Krupp AG.
Realschule and its focus
Since the school year 1991/92 bilingual lessons with English have been offered. In October 2007 the Bertha Krupp School received the certificate as a European school. Thereafter, on April 7, 2008 , the Ministry for Schools and Further Education of North Rhine-Westphalia awarded the Bertha Krupp School the seal of approval for individual support .
The school also takes part in the European Comenius support program. This is based on the partnership of four schools from Greece, Italy, Spain and the Bertha Krupp School in Germany. For a project period of two school years, the participating students from each of these schools devote themselves to the topics of history, politics, climate, phrasebooks, painters and inventors, devices typical for the area, music and sports, also with the help of personal meetings of students and teachers to create a common travel guide.
Since the beginning of the school year 2009/2010, the association for the supervision and advancement of pupils of the Bertha-Krupp-Realschule e. V. afternoon care with regard to homework supervision, remedial lessons, special working groups (e.g. theater, cooking, technology and football groups) and catering for the students.
The working groups, some of which end with internationally valid exams, include business English, technology, physics, DELF and sailing. Another AG enables the acquisition of the European computer driving license .
The entire school building was extensively renovated in 2012 with a ventilated fiber cement construction and a new color scheme. The sports hall was also renovated in terms of energy and fire protection due to water damage, including the ceiling and floor, and after one and a half years of construction, it was put back into operation at the beginning of the school year in summer 2012. The entrance area of the auditorium above was also renovated as a result.
The Bertha Krupp School is supported by the Alfried Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach Foundation , which, among other things, gives students four-week internships abroad. Some private companies also act as sponsors of the school.
