history

The school history of the Mörike- Gymnasium in Stuttgart goes back to the year 1836, when Friedrich Weidle was tutor to the daughters of Friedrich and Charlotte Reihlen in the family home. Weidle's work soon attracted further interested people from pietistic circles , who also left their children in Weidle's care. In addition to Weidle's lessons, Charlotte Reihlen gave singing and handicraft lessons. Soon there was a need for more teachers and they moved into their own premises in Eberbach's house on Marienstraße. Friedrich Reihlen had a new house built at Eberhardstrasse 1, and Weidle and 49 pupils moved into the upper floor at Easter 1841. The Weidle daughter institute emerged from this. In 1856, 500 schoolgirls were already studying in their own school building on Tübinger Strasse. After Weidle suffered a stroke in 1869, Pastor August Schmid was appointed as his successor and the Evangelical Daughter Institute was established on Paulinenstrasse. Since 1929 the school has been housed in a building on Arminstrasse in Stuttgart-Süd, which is now a listed building. In 1954 the grammar school got its current name.

Since 1967 there for the younger students a Hort (formerly called "Tagheim"), where they get to school food and educational care. There is also homework assistance.

Since 1982, all schoolchildren have had the opportunity to visit the "pupil's house" in Böheimstrasse, a five-minute walk away, where there is lunch and various leisure activities. This also offers socio-educational offers and much more. In October 2009 the student house was awarded the citizen's prize for "sustainability".

In 1978/1979 co-education was introduced after 137 years. The boys moved into the “Lämmerstall” (this was the nickname given by the pupils to their school at the beginning of the 20th century). In 1988 the first mixed year (16 boys and 53 girls) graduated from high school at Mörike-Gymnasium.

In 1984 the Mörike-Gymnasium was the first grammar school in Baden-Württemberg where Spanish could be chosen as a third foreign language .

In 1988 the “high school train with increased music lessons” was introduced.

A secondary school train has also been offered since 2012 . With the reorientation as a school center, Mörike wants to focus more on individual support and a permeable school system. Since 2016, Katina Braun (née Woschnitzok) has had its own school management at the secondary school.

Demonstration for more state funding

On March 9, 2017, the majority of the students took part in the rally Free Education in the Open Air for more state funds at non-state educational institutions on Stuttgart's Schlossplatz . In retrospect, it was criticized that there were no classes during the rally. Although there was the possibility for schoolchildren to stay in the school house and not take part in the demonstration, this was only announced on the day of the event.

From the 2018/19 school year, an additional high school will be offered. The Aufbaugymnasium follows on from an intermediate level and comprises three school years. In the first year, lessons take place in class. In the following two years, the pupils are taught in the joint course system of the Gymnasiale Oberstufe with the aim of obtaining a general higher education entrance qualification .

Daniel Steiner has been the headmaster of the grammar school and the school association since 2019.

Principles

The Evangelisches Mörike-Gymnasium Stuttgart combines a holistic school education with a social and religious education . The aim is to convey Christian values, a stable life orientation and the commonality of all people connected to the Mörike-Gymnasium (pupils, teachers, parents). The cooperation of the parents is expressly desired. There is a so-called tripartite “joint school round” in which parents, teachers and students are involved.

School typical

Every Thursday before the start of classes there is a prayer that the students can design themselves. Up until the mid-1990s, attending prayer was compulsory up to grade 10. He is now voluntary from middle school and is always enjoyed by the students. In addition, several services are held throughout the year.

The Evangelisches Mörike-Gymnasium currently runs a student exchange program with a school in France .

An in-school tutoring service has been set up in the ShS group - students help students.

The numerous other AGs offered gained popularity within the school culture. The theater group should be emphasized here.

In addition, a school psychologist devotes herself to the students. Projects to support class communities should be mentioned here. Within the class, people often take part in other projects.

The Eberhard-Ludwigs-Gymnasium and the Mörike-Gymnasium together offer music as a major as the only two high schools in Stuttgart. The school annually awards prizes for outstanding performance in the subjects of music and art. In 2004 the “Rebekka Merz” award was awarded for the first time. In memory of the former student Rebekka Merz, who died of leukemia in 2003 at the age of 17 , the prize for outstanding social services was donated.

At the Evangelisches Mörike-Gymnasium there has been a school newspaper since 1986. This made the Mörike-Gymnasium one of the first schools in Stuttgart to have a school newspaper. The school newspaper called "Eduard" appeared again and again in the past few years. Nowadays it can be found online under the name "Pelikan".

Diaconal and career-oriented internships

The evangelical Mörike-Gymnasium was also a pioneer in the development of the social internship. It was the first school in Baden-Württemberg whose students had to complete an internship in a diaconal institution. Pupils of the ninth grade carry out the internship within 5 working days in various areas of diakonia that they can choose themselves. Following the example of the evangelical Mörike-Gymnasium, more and more schools are now offering a social internship. The Mörike-Gymnasium took on another key role in the development of the BOGy (vocational orientation at the Gymnasium). As the first grammar school, the school exempted students in the upper grades from teaching for certain periods, on the condition that they complete an internship to find a career in a freely chosen industry. Before that, this was only offered at secondary schools and has been carried out in a similar way by various other grammar schools throughout Germany since the pilot project at the Protestant Mörike grammar school.

Joint school round

The joint school round (GSR) replaces the school conference common in state schools at the Evangelical Mörike-Gymnasium and Realschule. The GSR is made up of 10 teachers, 10 pupils and 10 parents on a tripartite basis. The GSR is managed by the school management.
