history
Foundation phase
The school was founded in 1868 as a community school and second school building in the village, right next to the Marienkirche. She was subordinate to the deacon of the city of Belzig or the high school inspector of the church. Rector Hellmund took over the school as the first director. The city of Belzig as the sponsor took over the school in 1904 and so now a primary, elementary and community school, whereby it was now in the hands of the city and no longer the church. In 1908 the second school building was added. Little is known about the following years, only that boys and girls continued to be taught separately. At that time the school was not a grammar school, but an elementary and community school.
GDR time
The history of the school during the Second World War and the post-war phase is unclear, but the period from 1949 to 1989 is much better documented by contemporary witnesses and local chronicles. In 1956, a school day nursery was created at the educational institution and in 1958 700 students were counted. This number continued to rise, so that in 1965 there were 1,200 students at the school (excluding the advanced high school ). On May 2, 1959, the first school sports festival of the Belzig middle schools took place and in the 1960s the GDR youth organizations started working at the school. The school, now part of the Polytechnische Oberschule , organized its first own swimming festival in the swimming pool on June 26, 1960 and became part of the school sports community in Belzig on November 13, 1961.
In 1961, the parents' council could already look back on ten years of successful work at the school, and in the following years some things should change at the school. In 1963 the school was separated and POS II (Ernst-Thälmann-Oberschule) and POS I (Bruno-Kühn-Oberschule) were housed together in the two buildings of the Ernst-Thälmann-Oberschule. The directors were Gerhard Hinze (POS I) and Achim Quoss (POS II). On December 13, 1968, on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the pioneer organization, the POS II was named Ernst-Thälmann-Schule and in June – August 1970 the ETOS schoolyard was redesigned “A fox catches a goose” by the Berlin sculptor Hans Klakow is displayed. From January 1973, the specialized building on Pushkinstrasse was built with rooms for chemistry, biology and physics classes. From July to September 1974, further expansion and renovation work took place, including repairs to the roof and the central heating. From 1975 Ms. Saczecki was appointed director of the school. From September 1978, Ms. Unkroth was the director of the school and managed the school until the end of the GDR. On September 1, 1979, military instruction was introduced for the first time at the Belzig schools and from February 26 to 29, 1980, the "Armed Forces Day" was celebrated for the first time. In June 1982 the school was allowed to receive foreign visitors because the ETOS were attended by guests from the People's Republic of the Congo and Mali .

reunion
Until 1989 the EOS ( Extended Oberschule ) was part of the POS ( Polytechnische Oberschule ). In 1990 the POS became an expanded school. Even before Brandenburg had its own school system as the new federal state, the school became an extended school from 1991, which brought it many advantages. The aim of the teachers was to create a school for particularly high-performing students. In 1992, Joachim Scheve and a few colleagues decided to convert the secondary school or extended school into a grammar school, and they finally agreed on the name Fläming grammar school . The financial resources were used for an expansion or new building and in 1992 led to the establishment of a building commission for this major project. The first drafts for the conversion were finished in 1992/93 and in August 1993 the final plan for a school extension was decided. But in March 1994 the construction company went bankrupt. A year later, another 3.6 million marks were put into the project. A series of fires in the following year delayed all further measures, so that construction had to wait until 1999 for completion.
During the same period, the school was able to establish its first partnerships abroad, and in 1993 the South Carolina Minister of Education was welcomed to the Fläming-Gymnasium. After the visit, the Fläming-Gymnasium got the approval of the partnership and in the following years a lively student exchange followed. Other exchange programs followed with a partner school in Memphis (Tennessee) , with individual exchanges abroad becoming increasingly popular. Some eleventh grade students went to countries like New Zealand , England and the United States . Students from other countries also came to Belziger Gymnasium - Argentina and England. Particularly noteworthy here are the English and French students who supported the teacher in question in the foreign languages.
On September 13, 1995, the subject rooms for chemistry, biology and physics classes built in 1973 burned down, as did the library and language rooms on Pushkinstrasse. The fire broke out in the physics room and made an entire school building of the Fläming-Gymnasium unusable. Due to misunderstandings when reporting the fire, the fire brigade first appeared at Eisenhardt Castle . Because of this delay, the fire brigade had to fight the flames with the help of the neighboring fire departments from night to morning. Although four other fires were reported in Belzig in the same year and there was no concrete connection, a special police commission was established a short time later. In addition, the lessons had to be relocated to Schmerwitz due to a lack of space , in particular the physics and chemistry lessons were to be saved from being canceled .
2000 until today
In 2001 the high-speed class project started at the grammar school. The students came to school in the fifth grade and, by skipping the eighth grade, were able to take their Abitur after 12 instead of 13 years. The subject matter is transmitted in the sixth and seventh grades so that there are no gaps in knowledge. At the same time, the traditional language festival, a festival of the different languages taught at the school, was celebrated. Due to the students' lack of knowledge of all four foreign languages, the language festival was replaced in the new millennium by the event, which was much more popular. In 2005 the project group “ Student Company ” was founded. This organizes the event and now delivers food for the students every Wednesday. The event, like the language festival before it, will take place in the gymnasium of the high school, which was built in the late 1990s, during the renovation work in the Belzig Pushkin Hall. Before that there were big problems with the allocation of sports times in the hall under the different schools. Above all, Belzig and Wiesenburg / Mark were in dispute over the money for a new hall, with Belzig in the end receiving the approval for a new gym and since then has been using the Albert-Bauer-Halle with other schools in Belzig.
