The private Ernst-Kalkuhl-Gymnasium (EKG) is a high school with day boarding in Bonn - Oberkassel .
history
In 1880 Ernst Kalkuhl (1849–1918) from Remscheid , after having gained experience in private schools as a teacher in England and France himself, decided to set up his own school for boys in Oberkassel near Bonn, the then "Institut Kalkuhl" , which then received its state recognition in 1891. Ernst Kalkuhl's son-in-law, Franz Heel from Nuremberg , took over the management of the school in 1916 and, in 1918, after the death of Ernst Kalkuhl, the school administration. He kept it until his death in 1957. In the Weimar Republic , in 1924, the then Oberrealschule received the right to take the Abitur in-house with full state recognition.
Finally, in 1951, the school was given the same name as all public grammar schools in the country with the designation "State-approved high school". The son of Franz Heel and Alma Heel (née Kalkuhl), Karl-Ferdinand Heel, took over the school from his father in 1957. As director of studies, he ran the boarding school. Since the school had meanwhile grown to over 600 students - co-education was introduced in the school and boarding school in 1972 - it was decided to entrust the management of the grammar school to selected senior directors. After the death of Karl-Ferdinand Heel in 2001, his sons Ernst-Martin Heel and Franz Christoph Heel took over the school sponsorship in a civil law company, with the director of studies Ernst-Martin Heel, who also runs the boarding school, in an executive role.
Most of the school and boarding school buildings are listed .

The integration of students from foreign nations has been part of the principle of school and boarding school since the founding years. In addition to English, French and Latin, Spanish is also taught. As an experimental school, sport is offered as a 4th Abitur subject. Among other things, lessons in choir and orchestra as well as a chess group are offered. There are competition teams in the student rowing club (SRV). Colorful group camps are organized and ski courses have been held for over 30 years in cooperation with the Alpenwaldhütte in Kleinwalsertal.
