The Engelbert-von-Berg-Gymnasium Wipperfürth , EvB or EvB for short , is a high school named after Engelbert I of Cologne in Wipperfürth . It has been under the authority of the city since it was founded in 1830. Over 1000 students are taught by around 70 teachers and at least five trainee teachers.
principal
In 1999, Marga Radermacher took over from Willibald Voigt, who had headed the school since 1979. Radermacher left the school in 2009, and Werner Kronenberg, who retired in July 2018, took over as headmaster in June 2010. From August 1, 2018, the school management took over Erhard Seifert, who had previously headed the German School in Sydney .
Bilingual branch
At the beginning of the 1997/98 school year, a bilingual English lesson was introduced. In the following years, the subjects geography (from grade 7), politics (from grade 8) and history (from grade 9) are taught in English.
Other foreign languages that are taught are Spanish , French , Latin and, since 2005, as a two-year study group, Chinese .
Student exchange
The EvB has been running a student exchange with the Collège Hélène de Fonsèque in Wipperfürth's twin town Surgères in France since 1982 . The students originally traveled to France for two weeks and immediately afterwards French students visited Wipperfürth. After the exchange almost came to a standstill after 15 years, it was redesigned at the end of the 1990s together with the Hermann Voss Realschule in Wipperfürth. The student exchange now takes place every two years for one week.
Another student exchange has existed since 1992 between the EvB and the Simelionis School in Lentvaris , Lithuania . The school officially became a partner school of the EvB on October 7, 1993 .
Since 2007 there have been contacts and partnerships with schools in Shanghai and Nanjing through work in the Chinese working group .
history
A so-called Progymnasium was opened in 1830 on the Klosterberg in Wipperfürth in the former Franciscan monastery ( see also Antoniuskirche Wipperfürth ). But there were probably no classes from 1833 to 1836. On April 18, 1836, classes were resumed with 18 students. In 1839 there were 57 students.
On December 18, 1871, the city of Wipperfürth undertook to maintain the school permanently and guaranteed it 4,800 thalers a year . They also took over the structural maintenance of the school building and the apartment of the rector .
The fully authorized Progymnasium began in 1902 with the expansion into a full high school . It received an upper second with 14 students. In the fall of 1902, the renovation of the monastery building began in order to gain space for the new classes and an auditorium . As a replacement for the old stoves , the school was provided with central heating .
On March 11, 1905, the previous Progymnasium was recognized by the Provincial School College in Koblenz as a grammar school . From then on the school was called "Gymnasium zu Wipperfürth".
From 1923 girls were also allowed to attend grammar school.
In April 1931 the grammar school moved to the former seminar building on Lüdenscheider Strasse. This was previously extended by a wing of the building. Girls have not been allowed to attend this school since 1937.
During the Second World War there were no more regular classes, as the rooms were initially used as accommodation for soldiers and from June 1943 as a camp for airmen and bomb victims. The basement rooms were converted into an air raid shelter .
From 1946 all classes were given lessons again, most of them were housed in emergency rooms in the old monastery school. Most of the refugee families were accommodated in the school building itself .
In 1955, at the request of the teaching staff, the school was named "Engelbert-von-Berg-Gymnasium Staatliches Neusprachliches Gymnasium". In 1964, 502 students attended grammar school, 45 of whom were women.
1973 began with the construction of the double gym, which was completed in the summer of 1975. On December 6, 1978, the groundbreaking ceremony for the current building (at that time still without an extension) was symbolically broken.
In 2005 the EvB was 175 years old.
With the conversion to an all-day school concept in 2016/17, further construction work began. Behind this is a new building, which mainly contains a cafeteria as well as some differently usable rooms. A new self-learning center will also find its place in this building.
School newspaper
Frontal is the school newspaper of Engelbert-von-Berg-Gymnasium. It has existed since 1992 and is the successor magazine to cross-section . The editors of frontal became the first ever to Handelsblatt in Dusseldorf invited and where he took part in an editorial meeting. The head of department stated that Frontal is more of a magazine than a newspaper because it often has almost 80 pages. In the meantime, however, the newspaper no longer appears regularly. Since the 2012/13 school year, however, there was again a group of students of different age groups at the EvB who were working on the "revitalization" of the Frontal under the guidance of two teachers was discontinued until further notice.
