history

First entry in the school register 1631: Johannes Coccaes Gymnasij Lemg:

The EKG has existed as a Latin school since the 13th century. After the move to the chapel of the Augustiner Kanonessen monastery (Süsternhauskapelle) was celebrated for a long time in 1583 as the founding year of the Lemgoer Gymnasium for boys, Bernhard Copius took office as Rector of the Gymnasium in 1559 as well as that of him in 2009 the same year published school program as the actual foundation. Since 1605 it was called "Gymnasium Lemgoviensium". The (traditional) enrollments in the school register began in 1631. The first registered student was Johannes Coccaes. Engelbert Kaempfer's handwritten entry dates from 1665 . who was a student at this school for two years. At that time, Latin, rhetoric and music were the most important subjects.

From 1872 the grammar school gradually moved into the building of the Lippehof, a princely building within the Lemgo city walls. a. served as a residence for princely widows and subsequent sons. This consists of the main building, auxiliary buildings, the Vorwerk and the stables . The building complex was renovated and rebuilt several times in the 20th century and in the early 2000s. The so-called class wing, a massive three-and-a-half-story concrete building from the 1970s, and the two gyms are located in the western part of the school grounds. The facility is finally supplemented by a new building from 1995. Originally, the replacement of the class wing was planned with this building. H. a further construction towards the west. However, this was not done for reasons of cost. This original plan is indicated by some scaffolding-like steel struts on the west side of the new building, which are intended to express the incompleteness of the western facade.

In 1889 the Principality of Lippe became the sponsor of the now state grammar school. In the 1920s, the Drake government converted the originally humanistic grammar school into a Reform Real grammar school that took modern foreign languages ​​and natural sciences into greater consideration. The new social democratic headmaster Ulrich Walter was dismissed from service by the National Socialists in March 1933. From 1951 to 1973/76 it had a mathematical and scientific branch as well as a modern language branch.

In 1938 the grammar school was given the same name as part of the Engelbert Kaempfer award. At the initiative of the Gauamtsleiter Walter Steinecke and under the patronage of the Reichsleiter Alfred Rosenberg , these festivities took place for the first time in 1937. Engelbert Kaempfer was heroized as a 'great German'. In 1938 - as part of the 2nd Engelbert-Kaempfer award - the high school officer Wollenhaupt gave the Lemgo boys' grammar school the name "Engelbert-Kaempfer-Schule". The city of Lemgo , its mayor Wilhelm Gräfer , Lippe NSDAP functionaries and the keynote speaker, teacher and local history researcher Karl Meier not only paid tribute to the long-forgotten Engelbert Kaempfer, but also aimed to set an example for the students.

In 1970, co-education was introduced under the head of the school, Wolfgang Ulrich. Since then, boys and girls have been learning together.
