History of the Protestant schools in Hürth
With the arrival of industrial workers in the Catholic Hürth, the need for schools for the Protestant newcomers arose. The first Protestant elementary school was set up in the Knapsack district in the building of the old Catholic school, which was given a new building in 1923. The Bodelschwingh School can be seen as the successor to this school. 1936 another Protestant primary school in was Hermülheim in today Krankenhausstraße built, according to the Bavarian Nazis Hans Schemm named but already in 1940 under the Law for the conversion of religious schools in German community schools as regular schools (1937, Catholic schools were allowed because of the Reich Concordat of 1933 (Article 23) was dissolved again and converted into a middle school, the later Friedrich-Ebert-Schule , Realschule der Stadt. For the first post-war period, Klug only ran one Protestant elementary school, the one in Knapsack with 5 classes. Only in 1961 there were four Protestant elementary schools, Gleuel (since 1949) with five classes, Efferen (since 1950 both in the buildings of the Catholic school) and from 1956 (old) Hürth with initially two teachers and 109 students, and then in 1961 like Gleuel With four classes, Knapsack had only two classes in 1961 due to the acceptance of Protestant classes in the Katharinenschule in (Alt-) Hürth, whose Catholic students had switched to the Clementine School, which was newly built in 1954. The evangelical school in Efferen was converted into a community elementary school , located next to the Catholic Don Bosco school . The Protestant school in Gleuel was also merged into a community elementary school, the Brothers Grimm School . The school in Knapsack was closed with a view to relocating.
Bodelschwingh School
For the school named after the Protestant pastor and founder of the Von Bodelschwingh Foundation Bethel , Friedrich von Bodelschwingh , a new building was built on the Kumme in 1965 , which was expanded several times. The architect was Marcel Felten , who in 1958 had received the North Rhine-Westphalia sponsorship award for young artists . He was also responsible for building the first high school in Hürth . In 2015 the school has three classes with 12 classes. Schoolchildren with a Protestant denomination are accepted, as are those whose parents expressly consent to Protestant upbringing. That is why many students with a migration background are represented. The school is best known for its educational work. It was also the city's first open all-day school. In this respect, it is often mentioned in the media.
The school has a support association, which has secured an external funding opportunity with the innovative project of the educational donor , who supports the participating schools as well as the Foundation Education . When purchasing from participating shops that have negotiated this for the school, they donate to the school via the portal.
