School history

From 1500 to 1945

First school building in Calvörde, Hegstrasse 11

Until well into modern times , the citizens of Calvörde could neither read nor write. A first school in Calvörde is described in the 16th century. This school probably goes back to the church ordinance of Duke Julius from January 1, 1596. At that time it was a " sexton school " because the sexton was also a teacher. Prayer, catechism , reading and singing were taught. Gartenstrasse, then called Schulstrasse, led directly to the school building at 11 Hegstrasse. Only boys were allowed to attend school. The schoolmaster's income came from land, but was at times so poor that invitations to attend family celebrations contributed to his supply of food. After the Thirty Years War, a second school was added, a principal school. The suggestion for this came from the dowager of the duke Anna Sophie , who often stayed at Calvörde Castle in the summer . Part of the endowment came from her , the rest from various sources, including free wood and "school fees", from which we can conclude that it was a school for children of the upper class. Now the students could also learn to write. The teacher at the new school was called the Rector and had to be a trained theologian . Later there was only one school.

"Also a school in Calförde that has nothing more than the rector and the cantor" wrote Samuel Walther in 1737.

Main building around 1900

In 1832, the pastor of Calvord, Friedrich Röver, reported on an elementary class with 180 children, a rector or boys' school with 90 boys and a cantor or daughter's school with 90 daughters. Until 1873, the three-class community school was mainly financed by school fees. After that, the community's grant rose rapidly. The middle school became a primary school . In the years 1875/1876 a new school house was built at the current location on the market. The school was now called the Bürgererschule. After the First World War, a middle school was added in the 1920s with a side extension to the school building on the market square (1936). The lessons took place in the uniform building complex, the teachers went through the main entrance, the students had to use the side entrance of the new building.

From 1945 to 1990

After the Second World War, there was initially only elementary school up to the 8th grade with Russian lessons from the 5th grade. In 1955 Calvörde received a middle school in addition to the elementary school. In 1959 this became the Polytechnic Oberschule (POS). The students studied up to the 4th grade in elementary school, then they went to high school from 5th to 8th grade. They either stayed there and graduated after the 10th grade, or they went to an extended high school (EOS) and passed their Abitur there. In 1988 the Calvörde School was named "Brothers Grimm School". The “Station for Young Scientists and Technicians” and the “Society for Sport and Technology” (GST) served as a supplement to the school. The school location in the GDR was the traditional school building on the market square with an additional building. A boarding school and, from 1960, a sports hall supplemented the school system. In 1985, an outbuilding of the school on the market square was added on the property of the former “Schwarten Adler”.

From 1990 until today

Main building of the Brothers Grimm School

In 1991 the Polytechnic High School was converted. The lower school went to Wegenstedt . The upper level received the status of a secondary school . After the 9th grade the secondary school certificate is possible, after the 10th grade the secondary school certificate . Those who achieve particularly good grades receive the extended secondary school certificate and can switch to a grammar school . In 1999 a sports hall was added to the Brothers Grimm School complex. A small sports facility has supplemented the sports area since 2007.

Extensive construction work took place in 2009 (outer facade of the main building) and 2010 (fire protection equipment).
