The Albertus-Magnus-Gymnasium Regensburg (AMG) is a traditional school in Bavaria . It is named after Albertus Magnus , a medieval scholar.
history
The grammar school dates back to the Poeticum grammar school founded by Josef Grünpeck in 1505 and later Protestant - imperial city grammar school as well as to the St. Paul Jesuit grammar school opened in 1589 . Today the State Library of Regensburg is located in the building of the Gymnasium Poeticum, Gesandersstrasse. 13. The Jesuit grammar school St. Paul was housed in the former Mittelmünster monastery on Obermünsterstrasse.
In 1811 King Maximilian I of Bavaria combined both schools to form the Royal Bavarian Gymnasium . From 1875 it moved into a new domicile on Aegidienplatz. In contrast to the new grammar school opened in 1880 (today: Albrecht Altdorfer grammar school ), the school was renamed the old grammar school . Until the middle of the 20th century, a large number of the students were recruited from the episcopal study seminary in St. Wolfgang . In 1962 it was named after the important medieval scholastic Albertus Magnus, who was Bishop of Regensburg from 1260 to 1262 . In 1965 it moved to a new building in the west of the city. A new language branch was added to the originally humanistic grammar school in 1964 , and finally a mathematical and scientific branch in 1993 .
"Stop-Strauss" incident
During the federal election campaign in 1980 , the school caused a stir nationwide when the school administration decided on July 17, 1980 to expel 18-year-old student Christine Schanderl from the grammar school for wearing a "Stop-Strauss" badge directed against Franz Josef Strauss . The school management referred to a ministerial ordinance of 1973, according to which “political advertising through words, images, writing and emblems” within the school could be punished with reprimand or relegation .
Despite a positive verdict from the Regensburg Administrative Court, she continued to deny her access to classes with reference to the appeal made by the head of the school. On May 27, 1981, however, the Bavarian Constitutional Court ruled that Schanderl was also allowed to exercise the basic right to freedom of expression in school. Nevertheless, the judges did not repeal the school rules with immediate effect, but instead demanded a legal regulation by the state parliament . The state parliament therefore had to re-pass the law on education and instruction and change the school rules.
Todays situation
With around 1050 students, who are taught in 25 classes, 10 advanced and 20 basic courses , the Albertus-Magnus-Gymnasium is one of the medium-sized high schools. In the fifth and sixth grades, students take Latin and English as foreign languages ; the order can be chosen. From the eighth grade onwards, three alternative courses are offered:
- Humanistic branch ( ancient Greek as a third foreign language)
- New language branch ( French as a third foreign language)
- Mathematical and natural science branch (no third foreign language; instead computer science and more physics and chemistry)
In the lower grades, the instrumentalists are promoted in a string class, talented singers in the choir class.
Student exchanges take place with schools in Aberdeen , Pilsen , Clermont-Ferrand , Toulouse, Tempe (Arizona) , Schio (Italy) and Qingdao (China).
