The indication that the historical representation is controversial among city historians has not been proven. - Alephmembeth ( discussion ) 17:42, May 22, 2020 (CEST)

The Domgymnasium Verden ( Dog or DoG for short ) is a humanistic grammar school in Verden an der Aller . Alongside the Gymnasium am Wall, it is one of the two high schools in the city and is one of the oldest schools in Germany . The forerunner of today's grammar school near the Gothic cathedral in Verden was a Latin school founded before 1002 . This historical representation is, however, controversial among city historians.

history

Until 1578, lessons were presumably held directly in the cathedral. After the Reformation , the cathedral school was restructured and reformed in 1578 by Bishop Eberhard von Holle . The classrooms were set up in the former dormitory . Initially four classes were taught here, with a fifth class added in 1651. Due to the increasing number of students, the rooms were expanded several times. In November 1872 the company moved to its current location, which is only about 200 meters from the cathedral. At that time the school had 215 students and 13 teachers.

The building is still part of the school today, which received additional extensions in 1956 and 1979. In 2004, after the orientation stage was abolished, the grammar school got the building of the former Pestalozzi School , which is about 200 meters from the main building. The construction of a new gymnasium, which also houses additional classrooms, began in November 2005 and was completed in January 2007. The old sports hall has meanwhile been used by the Gymnasium am Wall, as its sports hall capacity was insufficient. It was then torn down in the summer of 2007, making space for an extension of the playground.

The Domgymnasium has been a recognized UNESCO project school since July 18, 2015 .

Two associations support the Domgymnasium financially. The association of former Verden cathedral grammar school students has existed since 1928. The tasks of a support association are assumed by the school association of the cathedral grammar school in Verden .

School life

For several years now, the Domgymnasium has also offered all-day care. In addition to the compulsory subjects, mostly in the afternoons, a sometimes unusual selection of voluntary working groups is offered. This includes several choirs (large choir, young choir, chamber choir ) and orchestras (Sinfonia Piccola, chamber orchestra , wind orchestra ) as well as bands , astronomy , theaters , aquariums and terrariums , aviaries , chess or viticulture . Since 1934, the Domgymnasium has also had its own rowing team .

The school is home to a large number of animals such as goats , macaws , small parrots , pheasants , snakes , turtles , fish and bees . As a human High School next is Latin and Ancient Greek from a set language.

The school's historical library and its working library have around 85,000 volumes. This book inventory is considered to be one of the largest at a public school in Germany. The historical book inventory of around 25,000 volumes includes a valuable Blaeu Atlas from 1635.
