The spruce-Gymnasium is one of Johann Gottlieb Fichte named high school in the district Downtown West of Karlsruhe with around 800 pupils and 70 teachers.

history

In 1827 a secondary school for girls was opened in Karlsruhe at Ettlinger Tor . After various moves and organizational changes, the school was divided into two trains in 1877, a five-year-old and a seven-year-old. The seven-year high school for girls was classified as middle school . In 1878 this train moved to a new building at Sophienstraße 14, the current building of the Fichte-Gymnasium.

On September 16, 1893, the first German girls' high school was founded on the initiative of the “Frauenbildungs-Reform” association . It moved into rooms in the primary school building at Waldstrasse 83. The chairmen of the association Hedwig Kettler and Anita Augspurg were involved in the establishment .

Due to organizational difficulties of the association, the girls 'high school was affiliated in 1897 to the higher girls' school in Sophienstrasse, which was under municipal supervision.

The first four of originally 28 high school students completed their Abitur in 1899. Among them were Rahel Goitein (later Straus; 1880–1963), who was the first woman to study medicine at the University of Heidelberg , and Magdalena Meub (later Neff; 1881–1966), the first female student at the Technical University of Karlsruhe and Germany's first licensed pharmacist .

Due to the sharp increase in the number of female students, a new building was moved into at Sophienstrasse 147 on September 21, 1911. The girls 'high school and parts of the girls' higher school moved there. This is how today's Lessing-Gymnasium emerged . The parts of the secondary girls' school and preschool that remained in Sophienstrasse became the Fichte school. Joseph Metzger became the first director.

After the building of the Lessing-Gymnasium was badly destroyed in a bomb attack in September 1942, the pupils of both schools were taught in shifts in the building of the Fichteschule. After the fir school was hit by bombs in September 1944, all classes had to be stopped.

In 1973 the school was converted into a mixed high school with co-education .

As part of the 100th anniversary of the girls' grammar school, there were considerations to rename the Fichte grammar school in honor of the initiator Hedwig-Kettler grammar school. After intensive discussions, this was rejected by a narrow majority by the teaching staff.

In the 1996/97 school year, the AbiBac, which has existed since 1994, introduced bilingual lessons in German and French with initially 27 students.

In 2018, the Fichte-Gymnasium and the Lessing-Gymnasium celebrated 125 years of the first German girls' high school together with the city of Karlsruhe.

building

The building of the Fichte-Gymnasium was designed by Heinrich Lang around 1870 and completed in 1878. In 1881 the eastern wing was given a stick attachment. In 2011 another wing was added, which serves as a kind of bridge between the two older wings. From 2014 to 2015, the outbuilding was demolished and rebuilt due to great dilapidation .

The new building at Sophienstrasse 2 has been in use since October 2014. The cafeteria can be transformed into a hall for lectures, parties or theater performances. The building also houses modern music halls and rooms for afternoon care.

Lessons offered

The Fichte-Gymnasium has a strong European orientation. Among other things, a bilingual French course is offered as part of the AbiBac program , which makes it possible to complete both the Abitur and the Baccalauréat . There are also offers in the natural sciences, modern languages ​​and economics.
