The Fürstenberg-Gymnasium Donaueschingen (short: FG ) is attended by 773 pupils who are taught by 69 teachers. The school got its current name in 1933 and is named after the founder, Prince Joseph Wenzel zu Fürstenberg .
history
In 1778 the school was founded by Prince Joseph Wenzel zu Fürstenberg . In the year it was founded, the school had three teachers.
In 1807 the school was subordinated to the grand ducal government of Baden and only barely escaped liquidation in 1810 thanks to the existence of school funds. In 1837 the six-year grammar school was transformed into a seven-year one. In 1872 the school was renamed the Progymnasium and in 1903 it was expanded into a nine-year (full) grammar school. In 1904, the first class of high school graduates was able to take their final exams at this school. From June 1930 until the summer holidays of 1931, Leo Wohleb , who later became President of Baden, was director of the school. The grammar school was given its current name in 1933. After the end of the war, classes were resumed in November 1945 in what was then the primary school building with 40 students. In 1970, due to the steadily growing number of pupils, the school moved a third and final time to its current location on Humboldtstrasse.
The grammar school is one of the schools in Baden-Württemberg that introduced the eight-year grammar school (G8) in the 2003/2004 school year. In the G8, school time has been shortened by one year. In the following school year 2004/2005, this standard was also implemented in the other schools in Baden-Württemberg. Since the 2007/2008 school year, the IZBB program has offered a complementary, open all-day offer made up of around 25 working groups, homework supervision, lunch break sports or work in the school library. There is also the possibility of a warm lunch in the school's own canteen.
In the years 2010–2016, the school building was comprehensively renovated for 9.6 million euros on the basis of a pedagogical concept worked out jointly by the teaching staff, students and parents.
Profiles
The grammar school is operated as an open all-day school and teaches two profiles from grade 8 onwards. A scientific profile with the subject of natural sciences and technology as a new major and a linguistic profile with Latin , French or Spanish - depending on the language chosen. The foreign language Greek, legacy of the school's humanistic tradition, has been suspended since 2015.
School trips
Since 1975 there has been an annual exchange with the Collège Marcel Aymard in Millau , France . This takes place on both sides and lasts 14 days each. There is a partnership with the Collège de Cambuston in St. André on La Réunion . Every two years, 8th grade students take in students from La Réunion and offer them 14-day accommodation. The Lycée du Haut-Barr in Saverne , France, is an annual meeting in the form of a five-day bike tour through Alsace . It's called Raid Vert . There is also a one-week language exchange between the two schools every year.
Every year in grade 8 there is a one-week trip to England . The students are housed in Sturry, a small suburb of the city of Canterbury . Schoolchildren in grades 10 and 11 can take part in a three-week student exchange with Rowlett High School, the FG's partner school in Dallas / Texas , every two years . Mutual one-week visit abroad by the choir group of the Fürstenberg-Gymnasium in cooperation with the Scottish Milne's High School in Fochabers . This takes place every three years.
Spanish-language exchanges take place annually with the partner school in Alhendin near Granada ( Spain ) and with the German School Valparaíso in Viña del Mar , Chile .
A student exchange also takes place every two years with Lyceum No. 14 in Rostov-on-Don ( Russian Federation ).
Every two years, Donaueschingers travel to Japan and take part in an exchange with their partner city Kaminoyama . Some students have the opportunity to take part in this exchange.
Projects
“Weaken weaknesses” and help with homework
These two projects are the school's own concepts to support students. After the first considerations for an implementation had already started in 2007, it was possible to begin in November 2008, benefiting from the "high school quality offensive" of the state of Baden-Württemberg. In the case of “weaknesses”, high-performing students in grades nine to 13 receive pedagogical and technical training and then small groups of students from the lower classes are assigned. Due to the principle of small groups, the cost coverage amount is lower than with conventional tutoring. In the case of homework supervision, on the other hand, two student tutors (responsible for math and foreign languages) are assigned to an entire class level. In addition, there is the possibility of obtaining technical help in the event of uncertainties. With this concept, the students do not incur any costs thanks to the money from the “High School Quality Offensive”. Both aid programs are specifically aimed at the subjects of mathematics, English, French and Latin, as the evaluation carried out in the 2007/2008 school year revealed an increased need in these subjects and this was therefore seen as a starting point for a school-wide aid program. The two programs are currently attracting around 120 students in grades five to nine.
Campus FG
The Campus FG project is a series of scientific lectures that cover both the natural sciences and the humanities. For the lectures, which are held every two to three months, the school invites experts from universities or from business. With this initiative, the Fürstenberg-Gymnasium would like to provide pupils, parents and other citizens from Donaueschingen and the surrounding area with free and easy access to the respective subject areas and thereby also tries to meet the guidelines defined in the mission statement.
