The Ernst-Moritz-Arndt-Gymnasium (EMA) is one of the oldest urban high schools in Bonn . It was founded in 1882 under the name Höhere Bürgererschule and renamed in 1938 at the suggestion of the Evangelical Church in Bonn after the West Pomeranian publicist, historian and poet Ernst Moritz Arndt (1769-1860), who spent the second half of his life in Bonn.

Student body

The school is laid out in four classes and is attended by around 900 students.

School focus

The main focus of the school profile is the mathematical, scientific and musical area.

After the Second World War, until the grammar schools were de-typed in the early 1970s, the EMA was oriented towards mathematics and science. Since the 1960s there has also been the sustainable development of the musical field, mainly music.

Since the 2001/02 school year, the offer in compulsory elective area II has been expanded to include the subject of "musical design". In alternation with the Helmholtz Gymnasium , the EMA offers a cross-school advanced music course, which is attended by students from all over Bonn. In addition, there are various other offers in the creative field: three choirs and six instrumental ensembles, dance group, theater, literature, instrumental and vocal courses in upper secondary level.

English, French, Italian and Latin are taught as foreign languages. In the upper secondary level, English and French can be chosen as basic and advanced courses up to the Abitur; Advanced courses in French are set up in cooperation with the Helmholtz grammar school. This foreign language offer is also promoted through language exchange programs with partner schools in Gdynia / Poland, France and Rome / Italy.

Mathematical and natural science area

The math and science performance groups have been an integral part of the school program since the beginning of the 2002/03 school year.

Computer Science - (MINT)

The school has a designated focus on the MINT subjects of mathematics, computer science, natural sciences and technology. The school has been a non-stop member of the "Association of Mathematical and Scientific Excellence Centers in Schools ( MINT-EC )" since 2002 and is therefore entitled to use the designation "MINT-EC School".

The school takes part in the Informatik-Biber campaign , which aims to inspire schoolchildren for informatics and later to win them for the national informatics competition ( see above for prices ).

Musical area

music

The high school has numerous musical ensembles (symphony orchestras, big bands, choirs). Particularly noteworthy is the big band, which won first prizes at the state level. The Bonn Youth Symphony Orchestra has its seat at the EMA, the EMA is one of the three sponsors of the orchestra. Many winners of “Jugend musiziert” participate in the EMA orchestra. In connection with artistic achievement and social commitment, the EMA choir produced three of seven CDs (Haydn's “Creation”, Mozart's “C minor Mass” and Mozart's “Requiem”) for the CD series “Classical Music for Human Rights” raised more than half a million euros for aid projects in the developing world. Since 2016, the performance options for musical ensembles at the EMA have been severely restricted due to the renovation, demolition and rebuilding of the auditorium. Full use of this is expected to be possible from 2024.

history

On April 25, 1882, the school was taken over by the city of Bonn as a higher citizen school, which was created by transforming the Kortegarn'sche Schule , which was privately founded in 1841 , and most of the teachers were retained. Classes at the Realschule took place in the same building and dates from 1845. The new six-year boys' grammar school had no Latin, but included English and French as compulsory subjects. In 1882/1883 it had eleven teachers and 114 students. As before, a three-stage preschool was attached. Ernst Pullig had been the interim manager since 1880. Otto Hölscher became the first official rector on April 25, 1882. The school was intended to prepare middle-class children for their technical, industrial and commercial professions with a broad general education.

The school concept was not accepted as expected and after three years the school was downgraded to a Realprogymnasium with Latin from the 5th grade. This school, in turn, was so successful that a new three-story building was erected in Doetschstrasse in 1887, and 16 more classrooms were added in 1897, a gymnasium in 1898 and an auditorium in 1899. In 1891/1892 the school, including the pre-school, had 339 students.

In 1887 the school building in the former Cologne-Koblenzer Landstrasse was no longer sufficient and the city erected a three-storey new building in Doetschstrasse, which was expanded in 1897 with a four-storey extension for 16 classes and a gymnasium and auditorium in the following years.

At the end of the Second World War the school still had 21 teachers. It was closed in 1944 and then burned down completely on October 18, 1944.

Today's school building was the first new gymnasium in Bonn after the Second World War and was built as a three-class high school for boys. The new building on Endeicher Allee began on June 12, 1951 and the first 12 classes that were previously housed in the Remigus School were taught in the rooms of the new wing from November 3, 1952. On February 20, 1953, the whole school, parts of which were still on Loe-Strasse, moved into the new building. The inauguration of the facility took place on June 18, 1953. Up until 1969 extensions such as swimming pools, sports fields and auditorium were built. The school was listed as a historical monument in 2006 because it is characteristic "of the school architecture of the post-war period. It represents an overall facility that meets modern demands on the architectural and spatial disposition by having a loosened development with different orientations of the components. With regard to the spatial The school was considered to be particularly well equipped. "

Because of the decision in favor of Bonn as the capital of the Federal Republic of Germany, the school initially grew so much that two new high schools were spun off from it, the Friedrich-Ebert-Gymnasium 1954-1956 and the Municipal Gymnasium Tannenbusch 1961. In 1963 the first teacher entered the school one, in 1964 the first nine girls were taught at the school.

Special activities and awards

School competitions

In the Mathematics Olympiad and the Federal Mathematics Competition, the EMA students are regularly among the most successful participants in these competitions.

Since 2011, the EMA has been awarded the BWInf gold prize because of its successful participation in the federal IT competition and the Biber IT competition.

Since Dr. Hans-Riegel-Fachpreise (2006), pupils of the EMA are regularly among the award winners. In 2016 Paul Weltmann won 1st prize and Clemens Vetter 3rd prize in computer science and Ben Sehektiven 1st prize in geography.

Rowing club

The EMA's “Gymnasial-Ruder-Club am Ernst-Moritz-Arndt-Gymnasium Bonn” is an association of EMA students as an unregistered association and was founded in 1906 by two students. This makes it one of the oldest school rowing clubs in Bonn. The management of the association is entrusted to a board from among the students, whose work is accompanied by a teacher (the protector) in an advisory capacity.

The first boathouse was a "floating" boathouse on the left side above the Kennedy Bridge in the Rhine, then the club moved to its own boathouse on what was then a municipal property on the grounds of the Bundestag, then moved into a hall in the building of the Bonn rowing club and moved in September 2005 together with the rowing club of the Friedrich-Ebert-Gymnasium in a hall of the boathouse of the university rowing club on the Beuel side of the Rhine. In addition to jetty trips on the Rhine and participation in school regattas, activities include hiking trips on rivers in Germany and other European countries (including France, Poland, Ireland).

School medical service

A school medical service has existed at the EMA for over ten years , which enables the first aid of sick and injured people. The medical service consists of up to 10 students, all of whom are trained at least in extended first aid. Some of the students are also members of aid organizations and some of them even have rescue service qualifications such as rescue workers or paramedics . The paramedics are alerted by the secretariat via a mobile phone .

social commitment

EMA students have been helping a school in Cusco / Peru since 1990 . In addition to providing the most essential food, the pupils are interested in working with the “German-Peruvian Friendship and Culture Circle”. V. ”to help people to help themselves by collecting donations and by selling the EMA art calendar (since 2004/05).

Since 2003 teachers have been trained and since 2004 pupils have been trained as mediators .

Buildings and special equipment

The school has an auditorium, two gyms, a gymnastics hall and a sports field, which was fitted with artificial turf at the end of 2006 and, since 2015, has had excellent, modernized science classrooms.

The auditorium with 800 seats is considered to be the most representative in the Bonn area and can therefore offer a home to two symphony orchestras, the EMA orchestra and the Bonn Youth Symphony Orchestra. It is the place of activity of the internationally successful Ballet School International Bonn and of ballet competitions and a place of encounter between the musical and the MINT orientation of the school. The auditorium has been renovated and demolished since 2016 and should be usable again by 2024.

Since October 1996 the EMA has been part of the project schools NRW "Schools on the Net". Due to donations from parents, an internet room has been available since November 1996. The EMA had been a local support school of the “e-nitiative.nrw” in Bonn since August 2000. A school homepage has existed since 1996.

The student library is a work space with a reference library, especially for the upper school students at the EMA. In early 2005, the electronic registration of all books and other media - around 3500 - was ended. In addition to modern and classic literature, the school library contains reference works, dictionaries and magazines. It is continuously supplemented with funds from the friends 'association and from parents' foundations. The public inauguration of the new premises in the former director's apartment took place on November 5, 2016. In addition to a larger area, the library now has separate computer workstations and a quiet work room.

In 2011 the school received its first two interactive whiteboards . In the meantime (as of June 2018) all classrooms are equipped with interactive boards.

School camp in Aremberg

The EMA-Gymnasium has had its own school campus in Aremberg / Antweiler in the Eifel since 1932 . At that time it was built on the initiative of teachers, students and parents and is now run by the EMA-Gymnasium together with the Friedrich-Ebert-Gymnasium via the joint sponsor Verein Jugendheim Aremberg e. V. operated. In recent years he has invested considerable financial resources - exclusively donations - in securing the building fabric and renovating the house, thereby securing it for the long term.

School archive

A wide variety of archival documents have come down to us from the more than 120-year history of the EMA; they are stored in the school itself, in the Bonn city archives and in the main state archives in Düsseldorf and Koblenz. After the conversion of the school’s former bicycle cellar, a central archive room has been available since the end of 1998 in addition to an upper-level multi-purpose room.

Teacher training

The training of the future teacher training is carried out jointly by the Bonn / Troisdorf study seminar and the school. The EMA is also a training school at the University of Bonn for student teachers.
