The Bertolt-Brecht Gymnasium Dresden, in short "BeBe", is a state high school with a long tradition and four different profiles in Dresden - Johannstadt . The grammar school is named after the writer Bertolt Brecht and offers the opportunity to acquire the International Baccalaureate in addition to the Saxon Abitur through additional lessons in grades 5 to 12 and exams.

history

The grammar school was founded in 1952 in the Reick district of Dresden as the Extended Oberschule (EOS) Reick . After the death of the Czech president and resistance fighter Klement Gottwald (1896–1953), the EOS was named after him. The school remained closed between 1963 and 1967 due to the insufficient number of pupils due to the access conditions to the EOS .

From 1970 there were contacts between Helene Weigel and classes at the school, from which in 1971 the school was renamed “EOS Bertolt Brecht”. The grammar school later moved from Dresden- Reick to Dresden-Johannstadt. Today the Julius-Ambrosius-Hülße-Gymnasium is located at the former location . Due to the increasing number of pupils at grammar schools after reunification, the neighboring primary school building was also used by the Bertolt Brecht grammar school; later the elementary school moved out. The school building of the Bertolt-Brecht-Gymnasium was converted from 1993-1996 as a model for other Dresden schools. In particular, the inner courtyards typical of these Dresden Atrium-type school buildings were roofed over and made usable as auditoriums.

Educational offer

The high school offers a natural science profile, a linguistic profile, a bilingual profile and a social science profile. There is also a full-day offer with different orientations (over 70 offers).

Furnishing

In addition to English and Spanish (from 8th grade), Russian, French and Latin are also offered as foreign languages. Study trips are offered in the ninth grade to Great Britain and France or optionally within Germany. Within Germany there is the possibility of paddling in the Spreewald or a scientific study trip to Göttingen. In addition to individual exchange programs, there was the first GAPP exchange program in East Germany from 1992 with partner Spencer High School in Spencer , Iowa, which ended in 2009 due to the discontinuation of German classes at the partner school. Completion of the Cambridge certificate is supported as part of the all-day offer. There is a student company for regenerative energy generation, "bb-web".

The Bertolt-Brecht-Gymnasium was, along with the Fritz-Löffler-Gymnasium, the only school in Dresden where the Dresden City Libraries maintained a public school library . This city library branch existed from 1996. When it moved in 2010, the high school library was converted into an internal library with 10,000 media.
