history

Voluntary Sunday school in Hamm (1830–1876)

On October 20, 1830, today's Friedrich List vocational college opened as a voluntary Sunday school in Hamm. At the beginning of school, the new Sunday School began with 31 students and 6 teachers. Head teacher Dr. Tellkamp as conductor and first teacher in linear drawing, vice-principal Viehbahn as first teacher in free hand drawing, teacher Cramer taught writing; Teacher Keck arithmetic. In addition, two master carpenters were hired as assistant teachers for linear and free hand drawing. Five lessons were taught every Sunday, of which there were three drawing, one writing and one arithmetic lesson. Lessons were held in the morning from six to nine o'clock, the service was attended for two hours and writing and arithmetic were taught from eleven to three o'clock. The school fee at that time was one Reichstaler and two and a half groschen. In 1834 there were 60 students, including 15 high school students. The Sunday School continued to develop until 1864 and thus had 140 students this year. By 1875, the last year of voluntary Sunday School, only 130 students were still being taught.

Municipal advanced training school (1876-1911)

In 1875 it was decided to set up the advanced training school in Hamm, which opened on April 1, 1876. The school received 1,500 marks from the state and 1,700 marks from the city. However, the grant was not paid until 1877. At that time, all traders were required to attend school until they were seventeen. Schoolchildren who ignored this compulsory education faced a penalty of 300 marks or imprisonment, which meant that the number of pupils could double to approx. From then on, compulsory school students no longer had to pay school fees, all other volunteers (not from Hammern) had to pay 6 marks per school year. The school itself was divided into an upper and lower grades, into which the students could be classified according to their level of performance. So were z. B. Pupils with previous knowledge / qualifications are assigned directly to the upper level. In addition, the range of subjects was expanded enormously, the subjects of instruction were added: German language (with folk literature of the fatherland), business essays, bookkeeping, arithmetic, natural sciences, chemistry, history, geometry, geography and physics. In order to take into account the part-time teaching staff, the school hours have been moved to weekday evenings from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. and on Sunday mornings from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. The lesson time should at best be 12 hours, but this was usually less than that. In addition to the expanded student ratio, the teaching staff grew to ten teachers. The first of these teachers included Messrs. Barth, Bode, Böhmer, Böwering, Horn and Jaeger and Kaisker, who were represented by the city architect Schmidt and the painter Tönius. At that time there were around 17,000 inhabitants in Hamm and the city was home to 350–400 independent businesses that employed a total of 220–240 trainees. Thus about 270 boys were taught with the foreign students. Due to the larger number of students, more rooms were required. These rooms were offered by the Protestant school (West School on Langestrasse). So the school changed its place until 1899. Drawing lessons were also taught in a building on Königsstrasse until spring 1911.

Independent vocational and technical schools (1911-1924)

At this time, the training system achieved an unprecedented boom. In addition, compulsory schooling was extended up to the age of 18. On April 1, 1911, Konrad Crämer was appointed the first full-time headmaster of the commercial advanced training school in Hamm. He reorganized the tradesmen to the extent that he set up four departments instead of the two departments for construction and clothing, these were: 1. Metalworking, 2. Building, 3. Food and 4. Mixed trades. In 1920 the advanced training school became the municipal vocational and technical school. Even before the First World War , the number of students in the commercial sector grew to 500, and in the commercial sector to over 250 students.

Pedagogical challenge (1924–1944)

On July 1, 1924, Theodor Edelhoff became the new headmaster of the municipal vocational and technical school, who from 1920 also headed the mountain pre-school in Castrop. Theodor Edelhoff tried to ensure that the trade and business teachers, to promote the bond between school, business and the population, also offered an adult education program every year and with these evening courses at low prices, the Hammer education system was not insignificant.

Reconstruction of the vocational school system (1945–1949)

After the Second World War , the schools in Hamm began to reopen in 1945. On August 29, 1945, the city commandant, Major Goodson, instructed Director Edelhoff to reopen the school, which it did a short time later on September 6, 1945.

From vocational school to vocational school (1950–2018)

On February 1, 1950, at the age of 48, Josef Tippkötter took over the management of the vocational school. He laid down new ideas about the modern vocational school system in writing shortly after he was elected headmaster. He intends that from then on also pupils of a vocational school have the possibility of higher educational qualifications and thus greater equal opportunities. Thus the Friedrich List vocational school became independent. When Fritz Schwarz took up the post of first headmaster of the commercial schools on October 1, 1951, they had also become organizationally independent. This new school started with 1,100 students, 900 of whom were in 34 vocational classes and 200 in six commercial classes. In 1963, however, half of the vocational school lessons had to be canceled due to a lack of teachers. In response to the shortage of apprenticeships in the 1980s, due to high demand from students, the vocational school for economics and administration was set up in 1979, the higher commercial school in 1984 with a focus on data processing, in 1985 the higher commercial school with a focus on office economics and in 1989 the high school diploma with a focus on mathematics / computer science. In addition, there were additional qualifications for full and part-time students that could be achieved in various areas.

In 1990, the vocational school and the technical college were reorganized by the statutory ordinance, and the school management and colleagues also took part in the European conference in Hull / Great Britain. A year later the non-teaching Saturday was introduced. In 1992 a technical college for economics, specializing in business administration with a focus on accounting, was set up on a part-time basis. In addition, two non-teaching Saturdays per month were introduced. In 1993 the Friedrich List Vocational College in Hamm celebrated its 100th anniversary. In 2018, to celebrate the 125th anniversary, the FLBK organized a school trip to Rome for 5 days. Almost all of the students went along.
