The Droste-Hülshoff-Gymnasium Freiburg (DHG Freiburg), a public school , is a general education high school in Freiburg im Breisgau - Herdern with a linguistic, artistic and scientific profile.

history

The Droste-Hülshoff-Gymnasium Freiburg came into being as a reaction to the lack of space in schools at the end of the Second World War: During the bombing raid on Freiburg on November 27, 1944 , numerous school buildings were badly damaged or, like the Berthold-Gymnasium (BG) opposite the Freiburg City Theater, were completely off disappeared from the scene. Only the buildings of the Catholic Institute on Eisenbahnstraße and the Friedrich-Gymnasium (FG) on Ludwig-Aschoff-Platz were spared.

Therefore, by a decree of the Baden Ministry of Education in 1946, the girls 'upper secondary school was divided into two parts: While one part of the students stayed in the Catholic Institute (today's St. Ursula grammar school ), the new "girls' upper secondary school II" moved into the premises of the new named "Gymnasiums Freiburg", where the students of the two humanistic grammar schools (BG and FG), the two boys 'upper secondary schools (from 1948: Rotteck and Kepler grammar school ) and the female students of the "girls' upper secondary school II" were taught in three day shifts .

In autumn 1948 the still young Ministry of Education decided to restructure the Freiburg school landscape: the humanistic "Gymnasium Freiburg" was renamed Berthold-Gymnasium . The Friedrichs-Gymnasium officially no longer existed. The previous upper secondary schools were now called grammar schools . The "Girls Secondary School II" was given the current name Droste-Hülshoff-Gymnasium on September 28, 1948, after the German poet Annette von Droste-Hülshoff .

Due to the increasingly precarious spatial situation, the city of Freiburg decided to split the "Gymnasium Freiburg" into two humanistic grammar schools and to build a new building below the Hirzberg in the east of Freiburg for the Berthold grammar school . Since the school building on Ludwig-Aschoff-Platz was intended for the Friedrich-Gymnasium, which became independent again from 1965 , an architecture competition was announced in 1962 for a new building in the Herdern Musikerviertel, which was won by the Stuttgart architects Behnisch & Partner in spring 1963 . This architecture office became known in the following years 1967–72 for the construction of the Munich Olympic Stadium . With the move into the new school building, coeducation was introduced for the school year 1966/67 .

The DHG has been a recognized UNESCO project school since 2010 and is therefore a member of ASPnet, UNESCO 's worldwide school network .

The young republic's understanding of democracy should be reflected in the architecture: The school building was planned and built as a composition of three different heights with the same square base, which is reflected in the school logo. In the spirit of an open society , the classrooms in each of these three building wings are grouped around a central hall that is used as a traffic route by all students and teachers, spanned from above by MERO room structures and illuminated by ribbon windows. The four-story hall (A-wing) serves as the main distributor, the two-story (B-wing) as an event location for school parties, the single-story (C-wing) as a workshop and in connection with the adjoining music hall as an auditorium. The three buildings are based on a strict grid of 2.5 mx 2.5 m, which is not only characterized by its 1,550 precast concrete elements, but also by the wooden wall fittings. Construction work began in spring 1965. After almost two years of construction, the DHG moved into the new building on December 1st, 1966. The official reopening took place on March 17th, 1967. From 2006 to 2009 the building was completely renovated.
