The Friedrich-Dessauer-Gymnasium is a public high school in Frankfurt and forms the secondary education in the so-called Schulverbund Frankfurt-Hoechst . It is the largest of the three pure upper-level high schools in Frankfurt.

history

Before the Friedrich-Dessauer-Gymnasium was founded, the students in Höchst and the surrounding area completed their Abitur at two traditional locations - male students at the Leibniz School in Gebeschusstraße , which has existed since 1818, and female students at the Helene-Lange School in the city ​​park .

In 1972 the city of Frankfurt am Main decided to merge the two upper levels. The basis of this consideration was the creation of the new upper secondary school (NGO) by the Hessian state government at the time. The first groundbreaking ceremony followed on October 14, 1972 by the Hessian Finance Minister Heribert Reitz and the Mayor of Frankfurt Rudi Arndt . This was accompanied by student protests against the shortage of teachers at the time of the student revolts.

On June 10, 1975 the grammar school was inaugurated by Rudi Arndt. The Friedrich-Dessauer-Gymnasium is housed in the Education and Culture Center in Frankfurt (short: BIKUZ). Both the building and the school are therefore colloquially abbreviated as Bikuz . The building houses the administrative offices of the Volkshochschule (VHS) Frankfurt, which also uses the premises for teaching events. The city library for the Höchst district is also located in the building. For the 980 students, 300 courses were initially offered by 150 teachers.

In 2005, the Friedrich-Dessauer-Gymnasium was voted the best school in Frankfurt by Capital magazine . It was ranked third throughout Hesse and 84th in a German comparison.

In 2007 it was decided to demolish the school building. At the beginning of the school year 2009/10, the new building was occupied and officially handed over to the school community on September 28, 2009.
