history
When the Kröpeliner-Tor-Vorstadt became a working-class district with tenement houses from the middle of the 19th century and more and more families moved into the quarter, schools became necessary. The Borwin School was founded as a boys' school and was one of the six large schools that were built in Rostock between 1892 and 1916 in order to improve the poor quality of school instruction, sometimes with class sizes of over 50 students. The topping-out ceremony was on November 7, 1911, and classes began on October 8, 1912. The inauguration was carried out by Rostock's Lord Mayor Adolf Becker , the first director was the main teacher Albert Wolff. Initially about 680 boys were taught by 14 teachers. After the seizure of power by the Nazis in 1933, the school was Clausewitz school renamed. On the night of April 20-21, 1943, the school was hit by bombs, the roof structure and the upper floor were destroyed, and other parts of the building were partly badly damaged.
After the end of the Second World War, the school was resumed as a boys' school, the roof was secured as a flat roof. The school was given its old name Borwin School again. From 1949 to 1951 there was an Abitur level before the centralized school policy brought all high school graduates together in the Goethe School . Due to the high number of pupils and the many destroyed or damaged schools, shift work was also set up in the Borwin School and, as one of the last schools in Rostock, it was not closed again until 1972. Since the mid-1960s, the division into boys 'and girls' schools has been lifted. After the school year 1989/90 and the political change , the school was extensively reconstructed and refurbished, the roof was given its original shape and the roof turret with the clock was put back on. In the 1992/93 school year, it was reopened as a comprehensive school .
The school consists of three buildings. Grades 7–12 are taught in the main building at Am Kabutzenhof 8 , while grades 5 and 6 are taught in the "Elizabethwiese" building (Elisabethstrasse 27). The school has an auditorium in an adjoining building, which is also used for events outside the school.
The main building at Am Kabutzenhof 8 is registered as an individual monument in the Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania list of monuments.
