The Friedrich-Paulsen-Schule is a grammar school in Niebüll , North Friesland district .

history

The school is named after the professor of philosophy and education Friedrich Paulsen (1846–1908). In 1925 it was initially founded as a German secondary school in Niebüll. Born in Langenhorn , the philosopher and educator has taught at the University of Berlin since 1878. By naming the new school, Friedrich Paulsen was not only to be honored as a child of this landscape, but also as an advocate of a new form of secondary school. In it the newer languages ​​and the natural sciences came to the fore. The Friedrich Paulsen School wanted to meet his educational ideas. The school was architecturally designed and built by Lütcke, the government building officer. It is stylistically located between the beginning Art Nouveau and the beginning Expressionism , but the material and overall exterior are adapted to local construction. The building is carried out in the art topography of Schleswig-Holstein .

The school offered since 1929 with a branch "Rural High School", a boarding school for students from the North Frisian islands and islets originate, the possibility of a school the university to acquire. In 1960 the school was reorganized into three branches for modern language and mathematics training, as well as the rural school. This division of functions could only be dispensed with when Wyk auf Föhr and Westerland received secondary schools. The boarding school could thus be redesigned for other purposes.

The school took part in a cross-border project until 2014 in which pupils from Tondern ( Denmark ) and Niebüll attended a class, the so-called “European class”, and were taught in Niebüll and Tondern on an annual basis. The project was funded by the European Union . The subsidies were primarily expressed in the renovation and modernization of existing premises, investments in new media and school trips for the European class. In 2016, a partnership was started with the high school in Ribe , in which the upper school students learning German or Danish visit each other four times a year and work on joint projects in the respective foreign language.

The Friedrich-Paulsen-Schule also offers bilingual lessons . The subject of geography is optionally taught in English at the intermediate level . Since 2011 the teachers have also been offering “Lions Quest”. This is an educational lesson where teachers teach students to solve problems on their own.
