The Diltheyschule Wiesbaden is an old and new language high school in Wiesbaden with a focus on music and art. Originally a humanistic grammar school , the school now offers both English and Latin as a first foreign language . The school visit about 1,500 students. It is named after the philosopher Wilhelm Dilthey (1833–1911), a former student.

history

The Dilthey School goes back to the pedagogy founded in 1817 , a simultaneous school that Protestants, Jews and Catholics could attend together for the first time. In 1830 the pedagogy moved into a new building on Luisenplatz, which is now the Hessian Ministry of Culture . From 1833 to 1837 the later art historian Wilhelm Heinrich Riehl attended the pedagogy.

On June 22, 1844, Duke Adolf von Nassau issued a decree in which the pedagogy was expanded to become a humanistic grammar school . This day is considered the founding date of the Dilthey School. This makes it the oldest existing grammar school in Wiesbaden.

In 1848 the March Revolution reached the new grammar school. Under the leadership of two teachers, pupils submitted a petition to Minister August Hergenhahn demanding more freedom, shortening of lessons in Greek and Latin and other changes in the curriculum. However, the Duke and his minister rejected these demands.

During the German War of 1866, high school students went into the field with the Nassau army against Prussia. On October 8, 1866, the Duchy of Nassau was annexed by Prussia. The duke went into exile and the school became a royal high school (until 1918).

Despite several extensions, the school building on Luisenplatz became too small around 1930, so that several classes were outsourced. At the same time, the Humanist Gymnasium was combined with the neighboring Realgymnasium in personal union. From 1934 the later Dilthey-Gymnasium was housed as an old-language branch with the Gutenberg School in the school building at Moosbacher Straße 1.

In February 1945 a bomb attack destroyed the school building, but lessons could be resumed in autumn 1945 in makeshift rooms. In 1951 the grammar school was named Dilthey School .

In 1955, the number of students had risen to 1,600, who were taught in a building designed for 500 students. Therefore, the old-language branch of the grammar school was split off and initially moved as the Dilthey School to a provisional quarter in Alexandra-Strasse until it was given a new building in 1962 (Moosbacher Berg). As early as 1969 the space had become too tight again, so that the school had to move to its current location on Georg-August-Straße. At the end of the 1960s, a new language branch was set up again by order of the state education authority.

In 1994 the grammar school celebrated its 150th anniversary. The buildings have been renovated and refurbished since 2000.
