The Berthold-Gymnasium (short: BG ) is a humanistic high school in Freiburg im Breisgau that emerged from a Latin school mentioned in a document in 1250.

The current school building is located east of the old town on the banks of the Dreisam and is the oldest school in the city. The Latin-based language sequence English, French or Greek indicates the tradition of the Latin school and the later humanistic grammar school.

Building of the Bertholdgymnasium in Bertoldstraße 1866–1944

In 1250 the school is mentioned for the first time as a Latin school . From 1457 the school leaving certificate of this school entitled to attend the university . In 1620 the Jesuits took over the school as a grammar school Academicum . In 1773, after the Jesuits were banned, the school was converted into a " normal school ", but remained part of the university.

In 1792 the school was spun off from the University of Freiburg . The Breisgau Benedictine monasteries were responsible for the school. In 1807 it was converted into the state “Grand Ducal Gymnasium in Freiburg”. After that it was housed in the Peterhof for some time . The school became a humanistic grammar school in 1814 . In 1904 the "Berthold-Gymnasium" was the largest humanistic grammar school in the Grand Duchy of Baden with 807 students . In the same year, the Friedrich-Gymnasium, the second humanistic grammar school in Freiburg, was founded.

During the Second World War , the school building in Bertoldstr. 41 completely destroyed in the bombing of Freiburg on November 27, 1944 . Because of the total war and the commitment of the students to work on entrenchments on the Siegfried Line, classes had been suspended since the summer vacation of 1944. Only after the end of the war, in late summer 1945, the Freiburg grammar school , which had been merged from the Berthold grammar school and the Friedrich grammar school, resumed teaching the only partially damaged building of the Friedrich-Gymnasium, but had to share it in shifts with the Droste-Hülshoff-Gymnasium , which was reserved for female students. In 1958, this phase came to an end with the construction of the new school building at Hirzbergstrasse 12 under Hans Geiges and Helmut Phleps from the municipal building department.

Relief at the main entrance

The relief at the main entrance, which shows Homer with three young men listening to him, comes from the Freiburg sculptor Nikolaus Röslmeir (1901–1977), who also created the new Bertoldsbrunnen . There is also a quote from Canto 6 of Homer's Iliad :

"ΑΙΕΝ ΑΡΙΣΤΕΥΕΙΝ ΚΑΙ ΥΠΕΙΡΟΧΟΝ ΕΜΜΕΝΑΙ ΑΛΛΩΝ, ΜΗΔΕ ΓΕΝΟΣ ΠΑΤΕΡΩΝ ΑΙΣΧΥΝΕΜΕΝ
(Aien aristeuein kai hypeirochon emmenai allon mede genos pateron aischynemen - German:
Always be the best and superior to others, but not disgrace the sex of the fathers)."

The building of the Berthold-Gymnasium in Hirzbergstrasse has been registered as a cultural monument since 2018.

Departments

Language education

The Berthold-Gymnasium regards Latin as the linguistic basis of humanistic education. Latin is taught as the main subject from grade 5, followed by English from grade 6. Alternatively, English can be chosen from grade 5, followed by Latin from grade 6. In the eighth grade, students choose between Ancient Greek and French or IMP.

Students who have chosen Greek can take French as a late-starting foreign language from grade 10 onwards. This gives them the opportunity to acquire the European Gymnasium certificate. The certificate proves that Latin and Greek have been taken in the intermediate level as well as a classical language in connection with a modern foreign language in the course level. Italian can be taken as a study group from grade 10 and as an optional subject in the course level.

Natural sciences and computer science

At the humanistic grammar school, language and science education complement each other. The subject association Biology, Natural Phenomena and Technology (BNT) in the 5th and 6th grades takes on a bridging function between the integrated subject teaching of the elementary school and the natural science subjects of the grammar school from grade 7. Biology, physics and chemistry lessons follow in the intermediate level. In the course level, the natural science subjects are offered in three- and five-hour courses. After the basic course in media education in class 5, the advanced course in computer science follows in class 7. This can be followed by the profile subject IMP (computer science / math / physics), which can be taken as a major from year 8 to 10. In the course level, the Berthold-Gymnasium offers the elective computer science as a two-hour subject.

Social and personalized learning

In portfolio discussions, the learners reflect on their learning and social behavior and receive regular feedback. The mentoring concept, which has been tried and tested for many years, is based on the confidentiality and binding nature of the agreements made between the student and his teacher. This supports the children and adolescents in discovering their own personal learning paths and motivates them to pursue their school goals.

The Lions-Quest program supports pupils in grades 5 to 7 to strengthen their self-confidence and communication skills, to build contacts and relationships and to develop constructive solutions to conflicts and problems of adolescents. In the weekly class council, democratic togetherness and participation are promoted. The class council offers a forum for pupils to discuss and decide on their own concerns.

The school also has a differentiated system of sponsors and student mentors in the areas of sport, media and integration. In this way students take responsibility for other students and can prove themselves in their tasks.

Aesthetic education and creativity

Aesthetic education has a high priority at the humanistic grammar school. Concerts and theater performances are highlights of the school year. In the fine arts, learners develop their creative possibilities of expression. The results are shown in permanent and temporary exhibitions in the school building.

As early as the Middle Ages, students at the Latin school in Freiburg Cathedral sang ; Committed to this tradition, the grammar school assigns a special role to the arts. The aim of music education is to develop the western music culture and to support practical musical training. Music is played in the class and in the working groups, in the choir, in the orchestra and in the big band.
