The Carl-von-Ossietzky-Gymnasium is a high school in Berlin - Pankow , which is named after the publicist Carl von Ossietzky .
history
Construction phase
The extremely rapid development of Pankow , which at that time was still a suburb of Berlin with over 40,000 inhabitants, made the provision of new classrooms necessary. The municipal council therefore decided on July 7th, 1908 to build a higher girls' school , a teacher training college and training school, and three municipal dual schools based on the designs of the government architect Carl Fenten . Which was to be built on the property at Görschstrasse 42/44, which the municipality had bought in 1907. On April 1, 1909, the construction of an imperial lyceum in neo-renaissance style began.
“The development was carried out in such a way that access to the girls' secondary school and seminar as well as the associated practice school is from Görschstrasse, the girls from the community schools have access from Neue Schönholzer Strasse and the boys from the community schools from Wollankstrasse. This distribution prevents traffic congestion at the end of school. "
On April 1, 1910, after just one year of construction, the first ten classes of the girls' secondary school were able to move into the new building, which were followed on October 1, 1914 by community school classes.
On November 5, 1911, the inauguration ceremonies of the girls' college and the college for teachers took place.
Richard Wagner Lyceum
In the early 1920s the school was renamed the Richard Wagner Lyceum.
Anna Magdalena Bach School
In 1939 the girls' school was renamed Anna Magdalena Bach School after Johann Sebastian Bach's second wife . In 1943 a collection point was set up for those who had been bombed out. In the war days of 1944/1945 the gym was destroyed by bombs.
The school auditorium was often used for meetings and committees of the SPD, FDJ, KPD and SED.
As after the Second World War the pupils of the boys' high school " Carl Peters ", namesake was the founder of the German colony East Africa, after the confiscation of their school house (since the 1920s Reinhold Burger School ) in the Neue Schönholzer Strasse 32 by the Red Army in the Görschstrasse Found shelter, this temporary arrangement became a fixture. First, in November 1946, Peters's name, already heavily burdened by atrocities against black Africans, was replaced by that of the pacifist Carl von Ossietzky . This soon spread to the girls' educational institutions. As early as 1950/51, the girls 'and boys' schools merged to form the Ossietzky Oberschule.
Extended high school Carl-von-Ossietzky
From 1951 the name Extended Oberschule (EOS) Carl-von-Ossietzky was carried out.
Ossietzky affair
In September 1988, eight students from the then EOS produced critical wall newspapers and signature lists on the strikes in Poland and the planned NVA parade on the occasion of the GDR anniversary on October 7th. The students involved were then summoned to a school tribunal . Four of them were expelled from school, two were forcibly retrained, and the remaining two were expelled. In addition, three of them were expelled from the FDJ . Despite protests from opposition groups and West Berlin schools, the verdicts persisted. It was only after the fall of the Wall that the four rejected students could catch up on their Abitur.
Carl von Ossietzky High School
In 1991 the Carl-von-Ossietzky-Gymnasium became the Carl-von-Ossietzky-Gymnasium from the Extended Oberschule Carl-von-Ossietzky, and the school association was founded. The school association supports the school's projects to this day, primarily with financial means.
Today the building is a listed building . It has been used as a location for cinema productions several times. The school auditorium can be seen in a scene from the film Sonnenallee . The facade of the inner courtyard served as the backdrop for the opening scene in the film What is the use of love in thoughts , and in 1989 for the Defa feature film Coming Out , in which the art teacher at the time appeared in a supporting role.
The courtyard and facade of the building also served as the location and backdrop for the Oscar-winning short film Toy Land by Jochen Alexander Freydank .
