The Friedrich-Dessauer-Gymnasium (FDG for short) is a high school in Aschaffenburg . It is located in the school center in Leider on the left side of the Main.

history

On November 16, 1832, the royal government of the Lower Main District in Würzburg informed the city magistrates of Aschaffenburg and Schweinfurt that a trade school should be established in each of these cities and that the necessary preparatory work should be initiated. In August 1833, the application of the city council of Aschaffenburg to the royal government for the establishment of a complete agricultural and trade school was unanimously accepted.

On December 27, 1833, the school was officially opened under the name of the Royal Agricultural and Trade School . Classes initially took place in the building of the forestry school, which was closed in 1832, in the »Sonnengarten« (corner of Weißenburger and Kolpingstrasse). The number of pupils kept increasing and exceeded the one hundred mark for the first time in 1836/37. In addition, the school building was expanded in 1846/47 and new subjects were introduced. At the beginning of the 1909/10 school year, more than 300 pupils attended the Royal Realschule in Aschaffenburg, which was renamed in 1877 for the first time . At the end of 1912 the school moved to the former forestry college building on Alexandrastrasse.

1914-1945

Due to the First World War , a quarter to a third of the teachers were called up for military service. At the same time, lessons were canceled due to a lack of heating material (1916/17) and the school now served as accommodation for troops and the wounded. In 1923 the name was changed again to Oberrealschule Aschaffenburg . In the same year, English is introduced as the first foreign language instead of French .

From 1944 the school was increasingly in the service of the "total war": 10 teachers were doing military service, 48 students were deployed as air force helpers in Hanau and taught with only 18 hours per week, 57 students were drafted into the Reich Labor Service and the Wehrmacht. Pre-military training, harvest operations, and the collection of waste materials drastically reduced the number of lessons, and the influence of the war determined school operations. Between September 27, 1944 and November 21, 1944 there were several bomb attacks that almost completely destroyed the school premises.

1945-1967

In 1958, the branch of the secondary school in Schönborner Hof relieved the room situation on Alexandrastrasse

On December 10, 1945, classes were resumed in the building of the teacher training institute on Grünewaldstrasse. However, there was a lack of space and an acute shortage of teachers and textbooks, so that lessons could only take place in shifts. In 1949 the school had moved back to the building on Alexandrastrasse, right next to the remand prison behind the Sand Church. In the school year 1950/1951, more than 1000 students were registered for the first time. A branch was located in the Schönborner Hof from 1958 .

In 1965, a new language branch was finally added and the classes were no longer counted from 1 to 9, but from 5 to 13. On August 3, 1965, the grammar school on Alexandrastrasse Aschaffenburg was founded on August 3, 1965 from the former secondary school in Aschaffenburg. However, the name only lasted two months, because on October 20, 1965, it was renamed the Friedrich-Dessauer-Gymnasium Aschaffenburg Mathematisch-Naturwissenschaftliches und Neusprachliches Gymnasium. In 1967 the company moved to the newly built school center in Leider .
