The Friedrich-Schiller-Gymnasium is a grammar school in Ludwigsburg , which was founded on November 23, 1720 by Duke Eberhard Ludwig in his then residence city as a Latin school . The school is one of the oldest in Baden-Württemberg .

The fame of the Friedrich-Schiller-Gymnasium goes back to its namesake, the German poet and thinker, philosopher and historian Friedrich Schiller , who studied at the gymnasium from 1767 to 1773 and later taught at short notice.

history

After Duke Eberhard Ludwig founded the city of Ludwigsburg in 1718, a Latin school was founded as early as 1720 - at the request of the city council - for which a Benedictine monk from Melk was proposed as the first teacher ( preceptor ) . Under his aegis, with the habitual exclusion of female students, a one-class school was started. In the course of the 1720s, the number of students rose sharply, especially since the duke had moved his residence from Stuttgart to Ludwigsburg and the number of inhabitants in the city increased. The school changed its location several times. From 1767 to 1773 Friedrich Schiller attended the Latin school. Other important students were the poet Eduard Mörike , who attended the school from 1811 to 1817, and the writer, philosopher and theologian David Friedrich Strauss . In 1768 the application to convert the school based on the Stuttgart model into a grammar school was rejected for reasons of cost. Nevertheless, the number of students grew. Friedrich Schiller visited Ludwigsburg and his former teacher Jahn and gave history lessons at the Latin school. From 1797 dialectics and rhetoric were introduced as compulsory subjects alongside Latin as the only major . Lessons in arithmetic , geography and general and Württemberg history could also be selected. Between 1802 and 1827, two fundamental school reforms were carried out, which led the Latin school to gymnasium status .

In the years from 1828 to 1897 the school presented itself as the "Royal Lyceum " in Ludwigsburg. In 1895 an application was made to set up a full high school. The application was granted in 1897, after which the first Abitur could be obtained in 1898. After a two-year construction period, a new schoolhouse was inaugurated on Alleenstrasse. In 1937 the school was named Friedrich Schiller Oberschule by decree of the Minister of Education.

From 1940 to 1945, parts of the school building served as a hospital during World War II . In November 1945 the grammar school could be reopened with the approval of the Allied Military Government and was immediately vacated for the purpose of accepting refugees. The school reopened on September 1st of that year.

In 1970 the school received an extension. Since then, Russian can be chosen as a third foreign language. In 2001 the eight-year train (G8 old) was introduced.

In 2008, a fire in the extension building damaged large parts of the natural science collections. The science lessons took place under difficult conditions for almost a year.

Mission statement of the school

The school's mission statement is shaped by “community”, which means that the individual is accepted and respected in their personality. Prevention and health promotion are considered basic principles of education. Likewise, the cooperation between pupils, parents and teachers in open encounters. Thus, every student should be able to achieve optimal self-realization.

School board

The Friedrich-Schiller-Gymnasium is supported by the city of Ludwigsburg (municipality).
