history
The Bismarck School was founded in 1906 as a "Reform Realgymnasium ", a natural science Realgymnasium for boys.
After the building of the “Royal Maternity Hospital” was initially used, the “Provincial Midwifery School” at Herrenhäuser Kirchweg 5 in the (today's) district of Nordstadt , five years later pupils and teachers were able to move into the new Art Nouveau building , in which the Bismarck School is still located today is located. The architect of the building, which was built from 1909 to 1911 in the late Art Nouveau style, was Johann de Jonge .
During the Second World War , one of several public air raid shelters in the southern part of the city was set up in the Bismarck School to protect the people who remained in the city from the aerial bombs during the air raids on Hanover .
The Bismarck School has been a UNESCO project school since 1953 . In 2005, the application to set up an all-day school was approved.
Today's Bismarck School
A total of around 1000 students attend the Bismarck School, which is taught by over 80 teachers and eight trainee teachers in grades 5 to 12.
On September 24th, 2009 the foundation stone was laid for a new three-story building, which offers ten class and two group rooms as well as a cafeteria and a cafeteria . The new building, in which around 4.75 million euros were invested, was inaugurated on August 18, 2010 by Mayor Stephan Weil. During the construction period, most of the classrooms were in a four-part container structure in the schoolyard. An “auditorium” had also been set up here, in which the written Abitur exams were taken.
The historic main building was also modernized up to the 100th anniversary in 2011 for a further 8.25 million euros. The work was advertised and awarded by the City of Hanover as a public-private partnership .
profile
The focus of the school orientation is the mathematical and scientific profile with the establishment of corresponding specialization classes from the fifth year onwards, the establishment of "wind classes" in years 5 and 6, participation in the UNESCO school project and the school's media profile .
In the fifth and sixth grades, the students have the opportunity to learn an instrument in the "wind class". Participation is limited to two years. The students can choose from various instruments (flute, clarinet, alto saxophone, tenor saxophone, trumpet, trombone, electric bass, drums, and formerly tuba and euphonium). The learning of the respective instruments takes place within the different instrument groups by individual specialists, so that the music lessons can build on the knowledge of the students. This does not take place in the conventional sense, but through “class rehearsals”.
After the seventh grade, the "wind class" is over. The pupils can then choose whether they want to continue playing their instrument in a working group, whether they take individual or small group lessons with the respective instrument teacher, or whether they stop playing their instrument altogether.
Projects
There are also projects at the Bismarck School, such as the annual fifth grade Africa week. Since 2012, the respective high school graduate class has been hosting a Harry Potter night for the fifth and sixth grades. In addition, the respective Abitur class has been hosting a winter ball for the ninth and tenth grades since 2019.
