The Elly-Heuss-Knapp-Gymnasium ( EHKG for short ) is a gymnasium at Kraichgauplatz 17 in the Heilbronn district of Böckingen . The school authority is the city of Heilbronn. The school is named after the politician Elly Heuss-Knapp . The Elly-Heuss-Knapp-Gymnasium at Karlstraße 44 (today Mönchsee-Gymnasium ) was the first Heilbronn gymnasium for girls and was only opened for boys in the 1970s after moving to Kraichgauplatz 17 in Böckingen.

School history

Sülmerstraße 38 (Hafenmarktschule)

From the private institute for girls in 1831 to the higher daughter institute in 1841 and to the higher daughter school in 1872

For the first time, schooling for girls and young women became possible in Heilbronn in 1831 when a private institute for girls was founded. With the enactment of the Primary School Act in 1836, in which attendance at school was made mandatory, regulations regarding private schools also followed. “Private teaching establishments can only be established with the approval of the high school authority, if the use of the same is to exempt them from attending public elementary schools, and only teachers who this authority recognizes as competent according to their knowledge and morality may be employed. These institutions are related to the observation of the approved curriculum, to school discipline and to the performance of the teachers under the supervision of the school authorities. "

The institute located in the former Franciscan monastery on Heilbronner Hafenmarkt was then elevated to a higher daughter institute in 1841. In Wuerttemberg private schools for girls and young women then received many names, including educational institution , educational institution , educational institution , the Institute for young females , educational institution , Girls Institute , Education and Teaching Institute for the female youth of the educated classes , private educational institution , private daughters institution , private school . The term higher daughter school , as was the case in Heilbronn in 1872, was less common. Private secondary schools for girls emerged at that time as a kind of “substitute school” because the state or the local government itself could not create schools for girls. Since the Heilbronn secondary school for girls went beyond the level of the normal elementary school, it was in great demand. Switching from elementary school to secondary school for girls was relatively easy at the time, as all that was required was a simple report to the local school authorities. The private school was audited annually by the local school inspector, whereby the board of the parents' council was usually also the state school inspector in one person.

The secondary school for girls as a private school in Heilbronn until it was officially recognized as a secondary school for girls in 1879

Julius Desselberger, the school principal at the time, reports that with the law of December 30, 1877 in Württemberg, many secondary schools for girls did not achieve recognition as secondary schools for girls. With this law, guidelines were prescribed for the state-recognized higher girls’s schools that many private institutes could not meet. The Heilbronn private institute, however, succeeded in being recognized as a girls' higher school, and since then has been allowed to be regarded as the forerunner of the first grammar school for girls and young women in Heilbronn. In 1903, the girls' school in Württemberg was recognized as a higher educational institution with equal rights, with various innovations being made. A tenth grade was introduced, and the subjects mathematics, biology, chemistry and physics were given a new addition. Despite all the innovations, the girls' school in Heilbronn remained a school with a focus on language. In 1907 a final examination was introduced, and from 1909 it was possible to attend the boys 'school and university after completing the girls' school.

Geschwister-Scholl-Straße 8 (today Pestalozzi School )

New building in Turmstrasse and Gartenstrasse (1886)

The Heilbronn town builder Gustav Wenzel (1839–1923), who also built the Stadtbad on Wollhausplatz, built a new school building for the girls' secondary school in 1886 at Turmstraße 50 (corner of Gartenstraße). The inauguration was on October 13th, 1886. This school was founded by the Jewish girl Hanna Bachrach, b. Visited Würzburger, Tel Aviv, Israel and received double religious instruction there.

From Heilbronn girls 'secondary school (1914) to Heilbronn girls' upper secondary school (1937)

In 1914 the curricula of the girls' secondary school were harmonized with the curricula of other secondary schools, and the secondary girls' school became a girls' secondary school. In the girls' secondary school, the curriculum was changed again: the teaching of “real” knowledge was now preferred, and mathematics, chemistry, biology and physics took a back seat. A visit to the boys' school was still necessary to get the Abitur. Victoria Wolff , who at times was a private student of Albert Einstein , was one of the first young women to graduate from the Robert-Mayer-Gymnasium in 1922.

From 1953 the EHKG was in today's Mönchsee-Gymnasium
New cafeteria building from 2007 on Kraichgauplatz

It was only in 1937 when the Heilbronn girls 'upper (real) school was founded that university studies could take place without having to attend a boys' school beforehand.

Karlstrasse 44 (today Mönchsee-Gymnasium )

After the school building was destroyed in 1944, the new girls' middle school as the Mörike girls' middle school and the Pestalozzi school were built on the site of the former girls' high school . The new building for the girls' secondary school was built according to plans by the Alber architects at Karlstrasse 44 and henceforth called the Elly-Heuss-Knapp-Gymnasium .

On October 1, 1971, according to the plans of the Heilbronn-based company ars - Systembau GmbH & Co. KG ( Rational Systembau working group ), a prefabricated building for 37 main classes with 43 specialist, secondary and To build administration rooms and a housekeeping department at Kraichgauplatz in Böckingen.

In addition to the Elly-Heuss-Knapp-Gymnasium, the organizationally separated Elly-Heuss-Knapp primary and secondary school has existed since then. After the Elly-Heuss-Knapp-Gymnasium moved, the Mönchsee-Gymnasium moved into the vacated school building in Karlstrasse.

Kraichgauplatz 17

From the mid-1960s, a large new building area was developed on the Böckinger Schanz . The construction of the apartments for 5,000 to 6,000 people was accompanied by an extensive school building program, which included the Fritz Ulrich elementary school and the district trade school center on Längelterstraße, the Heinrich von Kleist secondary school in Kreuzgrund and a school center on Kraichgauplatz. At Kraichgauplatz, a school center was initially planned with the "reformist idea oriented towards a comprehensive school", but then independent, school-type-specific schools, including a grammar school, were implemented.

“[…] The planners wanted to create a school center between 1970 and 1975 in which reformist ideas with a focus on a comprehensive school were to be implemented. However, this type of school found few supporters here, as in the whole of Baden-Württemberg. The Schanz schools named after Theodor Heuss's wife , the Elly-Heuss-Knapp elementary and community school and the Elly-Heuss-Knapp grammar school, despite being close to each other, have a school-type-specific life of their own. The same applies to the […] Heinrich-von-Kleist-Realschule […] built in 1970/71, which was supposed to complete the school center on the Schanz. "

In July 1973, boys were admitted to the EHKG for the first time, beginning with grade 5.

In November 1974, Sigrid Lipp, sports and art teacher at the grammar school, founded the Heilbronn majorette group and in 1978 the Heilbronner Käthchen wedding procession.

The building on Kraichgauplatz was officially inaugurated on March 21, 1975, and the sports facilities consisting of a sports hall and open spaces were built until 1977. In 1992 the school building was extensively renovated after the flat roof leaked and water damage had repeatedly occurred. There has been a lunch menu since 1993, and since spring 2007, the students have been catered for in the newly built cafeteria based on plans by Matthias Müller. In 1998 the first Heilbronn school solar system was installed on the roof of the gym.
