history

Big city school

After the preparatory work by Johann Riebling , the Parchimer Latin School was established in 1564 . At the same time, it was a particular school for children from the bourgeoisie of the cities, for the sons of wealthy farmers and rural pastors in southwest Mecklenburg . As a school of scholars in the sense of the church ordinance of 1542, it was intended to prepare students for study at a university . At first she had three teachers for 150 students. It developed into a respected educational institution that attracted many foreign students. Half of the class was in Latin ; there was also a little ancient Greek , religion , song and arithmetic . German reading and writing were also taught in the entrance class. From 1605 the magistrate gained influence. The Thirty Years' War and the plague reduced the number of foreign students. The scholarly school withered into a community school .

Grand Duke Friedrich Franz I (Mecklenburg) turned the Great City School into a grammar school with neo-humanist features in 1827 . She realized the educational ideas of Johann Wehnert (1756-1825).

For director Dr. was phil. Johannes Zehlicke (1791-1856) was appointed. With the vice-principal Heinrich Gesellius he worked out a new humanistic teaching constitution, a coherent curriculum for the first time . The focus of the lesson was "the original formation of the beautiful Greek world and that of this dependent great Roman". 38% of the hours were devoted to him. In addition to religious instruction, great importance was attached to education in German and in a modern language such as French . The importance of mathematics for logical and abstract thinking was also recognized. In the natural sciences were biological knowledge acquired; Physics and chemistry were only added later. In the first five years the number of pupils grew from 42 to 163. With the character (title) as high school councilor , Zehlicke retired in 1851 after 24 years of service.

Zehlicke had recognized that the industrial revolution in Germany required different educational content than the learned school . Therefore, in 1841, a secondary school section was set up “for educated, future farmers, the military, merchants, builders, accountants, technicians and industrial operators”. In the real classes next was Latin , the English language teaching. The curriculum was drawn up by the vice-principal Jakob Heussi (1803-1883), a student of Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi . The Presidential House (Parchim) was used for this . The secondary school ran out in the late 1920s. A three-level preschool was added in 1845 , which existed until 1919.

In the three emperors year , the foundation stone for another new building was laid on the ramparts , which was inaugurated in 1890. The grades wore student hats : green in sixth and fifth, dark blue in quarta, dark green in tertia, dark blue in secondary (from 1932 light blue in lower secondary) and black in primary.

Moltke High School

The term Oberschule appears three times in the Parchim school system, once at the same time, once with a time lag. The Weimar Republic had more than 70 different types of schools. The higher education schools remained essentially unchanged. As the number of students steadily increased, they opened up to girls. In Parchim, Germanness came to the fore at the expense of foreign languages .

In the time of National Socialism , the high school became the standard form of the school type that led to the Abitur. The Friedrich-Franz-Gymnasium was gradually converted into a high school for boys from 1937 onwards and was named after Helmuth Karl Bernhard von Moltke in 1939 . It had both a linguistic branch with English, Latin and French and a mathematical branch with English, Latin and especially mathematics . The top prima did not apply.

Secondary school after 1945, then extended secondary school

The law for the democratization of German schools (1946) provided that after eight years of elementary school (GDR), a four-year high school should lead to the Abitur. It had a "modern language" branch with Russian , English and Latin and a mathematical and scientific branch. Subjects such as contemporary studies and the entire curriculum , especially in history , increasingly influenced the teaching of ideological objectives. The establishment of a boarding school (1948) increased educational opportunities for rural children. From the mid-1950s onwards, great importance was attached to balancing out different preliminary work in town and country and to getting all students to graduate from high school if possible.

When the Polytechnic High School was established in 1959 , the Extended High School was created . In the course of polytechnical education, full vocational training was introduced in 1962. So until 1970 a skilled worker certificate could be obtained at the same time as the Abitur . From 1969 onwards, all students were taught according to a uniform curriculum, namely Russian, English, mathematics, natural sciences and others. Optional offers were Latin and literature. In addition, a weekly production internship was carried out. In the 1980s, all students stayed at the POS until grade 10. This is how the (very debatable) two-year Abitur level came about. In addition, a four-year special class for enhanced modern language teaching (Russian, English, French) was offered in Parchim.

Start-up

After the reunification and peaceful revolution in the GDR , the school was re-established as a grammar school in 1991. Since 1994 it has been called Friedrich-Franz-Gymnasium again . The historic and now again used acronym FFG is in the current school program at the same time al F- fair; F- demanding; G- interpreted holistically .

In June 2013 the school principal Volkhard Merzsch and the AWT ( work-economy-technology ) teacher Burkhard Neels received the Grand Prize of the Economy 2013 from the Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania Entrepreneur Association as pioneers of business-related education in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.

building

Friedrich-Franz-Gymnasium, building on Wallallee from 1890 (1908)

The first known school house of the school of scholars was the converted Blood Chapel in 1605, a former pilgrimage church on the highest point of the old town. A replacement building, the so-called Red House , was built in the same place in 1804 . The school building was later expanded to include what was then the President's House. In 1890 this became the home of a secondary school for girls , later the Lyceum . A representative high school building was inaugurated in 1890 at Wallallee 1. The school complex with gym, director's house and outside toilets had modern specialist cabinets for physics, chemistry and art education as well as an auditorium with an organ . High school students were taught until 1945. Until 1950, the Red Army used the house as a hospital .

After the return, the building housed an eight-grade elementary school, which was expanded into a middle school in 1955. You outgrew a ten-year polytechnic high school because the house was too big for eight classes. It is currently used by the regional school JW v. Goethe . Today's Friedrich-Franz-Gymnasium is located at Ziegendorfer Chaussee 71 in a spacious modern school building.

School inspection

The lessons were initially given by young theologians and sextons . This alone enabled the sovereign to introduce compulsory schooling . The school supervision was part of the sovereign church regiment . At the large city school and at the grammar school this took over a scholarchat under the chairmanship of the Parchim superintendent. Other members were the pastor of St. Mary's Church (Parchim) and two council members. It was only after the November Revolution that religious school supervision ended . Only religious instruction remained church-bound.

In the Soviet occupation zone , school and church were completely separated under the new school law. Religious instruction was the responsibility of the parishes , which created rooms in Parchim especially for this purpose. In the early 1950s, when young people from secondary school took part in the development of youth groups in the Junge Gemeinde , they were expelled from school in March 1953. These reprimands were lifted after the June 17 uprising .

The school responsible for the grammar school, which was founded in 1991, was the district of Parchim and is succeeded by the district of Ludwigslust-Parchim . The technical and service supervision lies with the Ministry of Culture of the State of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania .

Teacher

At the Great City School, the official titles were rector , vice rector, cantor , sub-rector and preceptor . The high school teachers at the FFG were called sub-rector, cantor, succentor , collaborator and writing teacher. From 1835 on there were only senior teachers and collaborators besides the director and vice-principal . In 1864 the FFG had four senior teachers and six collaborators, who were later named candidates for higher education. In addition, three in came teacher seminars trained teacher for the preschool. In 1880 the position of vice-principal expired. In 1900 the staff of the FFG consisted of the director, 14 senior teachers and four seminar-trained teachers for drawing , singing, gymnastics and preschool. During the Weimar Republic , trainee lawyers , assessors and student advisors came to Parchim. In 1921 the last of ten high school professors retired . From 1931 the headmaster was a senior director . Many educators at the FFG earned their doctorate at the university .

In the Soviet occupation zone and in the German Democratic Republic , the designation of rector / headmaster (director from 1952) was retained for all types of schools in Parchim. New teachers who were not fully trained were employed as teacher training applicants (LAB). After the 1st teacher examination they were trainee teachers (LAA), after the 2nd teacher. Fully trained teachers with special knowledge in at least two subjects (distance learning or university degree) taught at EOS.
