The Friedrich-Schiller-Gymnasium Pfullingen is a grammar school in Pfullingen ( Baden-Württemberg ). The FSG became a public school on April 22, 1763, but it was not named Friedrich Schiller High School until 1977.
history
The Friedrich-Schiller-Gymnasium emerged after years of efforts from the Pfullinger Latin School , when a ducal decree declared it a public school on April 22, 1763.
At that time, the preceptor (the teacher) received a "quarteriter" from each student a guilder and 30 kreuzers. What at that point in time (around 1760) was a starvation wage for 32 students, since a Zimri barley alone cost a guilder 20 kreuzer. It is therefore not surprising that the chronicler Bames wrote: "In 1760, Preceptor Schmid resigned because of insufficient salary and because the church convention had warned him several times about indulgence." had to hold (3 hours in the morning + 2 hours in the afternoon), there was also a repetition lesson. What the end result, with six school days a week, was 36 hours of teaching.
The FSG, at that time still “ Latin School ”, enjoyed an excellent reputation as early as the 18th century . The preceptors had to select strictly, especially since many extrasnei (foreigners) went to school in Pfullingen. Friedrich Meyer wrote in his Pfullinger Heimatbuch about the Preceptor Benjamin Friedrich Schmid: "For 16 years, from 1778–1793, the local Latin school was given and maintained such a reputation that it was considered to be one of the most excellent institutions in Württemberg at the time."
With the beginning of the new century not only Latin was taught, but also arithmetic, geometry, history and, as a result of the Napoleonic wars, also French. The now “higher school” was often renamed and relocated: the Latin school became a secondary school , a secondary school for boys, a coeducational secondary school, a high school and finally a grammar school. The school moved from the one-room school house via the town hall to the Uhland school, then to the "Kostenbader", a club house and finally to the monastery garden.
The Friedrich-Schiller-Gymnasium had to complain about constant lack of space. An example from the turn of the century from the 19th to the 20th century shows the extreme dimensions: because of the excessive number of students, not everyone could even sit. 461 children of both sexes were taught by four teachers in a “school room”. But also at the current location of the school in the monastery garden in Pfullingen it was often too tight.
In 1945 the high school for boys started operations with four teachers and 158 students on the lower floor of the girls' school. In 1953 the school was renamed “Progymnasium Pfullingen”. And four years later, on September 2, 1957, the first building in the monastery garden was occupied. The new building from 1957, today's A-building, quickly became too small, so an extension was built, but this did not last too long either. And even with the second new building from 1971 (B-Building), the masses of the students could not be accommodated for long, so a third building had to be built, the C-Building. It was completed in 1998 and houses eight additional classrooms. The newest buildings are the D-Bau and the cafeteria, which were inaugurated in autumn 2010. The expansion of the FSG has thus ended for the time being.
Since 1977 the school has been called "Friedrich-Schiller-Gymnasium".
In the course of the flood disaster in Central Europe in 2013 , parts of the Friedrich-Schiller-Gymnasium were also flooded due to the flooding of Echaz at the beginning of June of that year. In particular, the flooding of the comparatively small river that flows around the grammar school to the west hit the sports hall set up in the basement of the B-building, which was meters high under water, and whose relatively new floor was destroyed. According to press reports, the damage in the school amounts to at least 200,000 euros.
building
The Friedrich-Schiller-Gymnasium has 5 buildings, the A building, the B building, the C building, the D building and the cafeteria.
The A building was built in 1957 and an extension was added a few years later. The A building houses the secretariat, the rector's office, the teachers' room, the caretaker's box, the student lounge, the multimedia area with three computer rooms, the mediator room and classroom. The B-building was erected in 1971 and renovated about 30 years later. In the B-building there are specialist rooms for fine arts, music, physics, chemistry, biology, NWT (natural science and technology) and geography lessons, as well as the auditorium, the sports hall and some classrooms. The C-Building was completed in 1998 and only contains classrooms. Courses from VHS Pfullingen take place there in the evenings . The D-Bau was inaugurated in autumn 2010. In the lower part it contains a lounge, which has recently been accessible to all students, in the middle part classroom and in the entire upper part a media library with books and computers that can be used by the students outside of school hours.
The cafeteria is the center of the school. Parents cook there three to four times a week. It also contains a stage with lighting and sound technology for events. The Friedrich-Schiller-Gymnasium also has a sports field, which is not only used for the school's own physical education lessons, but young people can also play on it outside of school.
There is a so-called coordinate stone on the school premises on which the exact coordinates are noted.
Partnerships
The school has partner schools in France (in Passy (Haute-Savoie) ), the USA (in Park Ridge (New Jersey) ) and in Spain (in Barcelona ).
Student responsibility
The School as a State project was carried out from July 15 to 19, 2013 . Students and teachers were given equal rights. Real state life was simulated. On July 19, the project moved into the celebrations for the 250th anniversary of the school.
Since 2012 there was again a school newspaper of its own, it was called "S'Chiller Blättle", but was discontinued towards the end of 2013 due to a lack of interest.
There are always recurring events that are organized by the FSG's SMV and other in-school groups. These include: The carnival party for grades 5-8 (mostly just before the carnival holidays), the Halloween party for grades 8-10 (mostly around October 31), the X-Mas ball for grades 10– 12 (mostly just before the Christmas holidays), various trips (to the Europapark, to a VfB-Stuttgart home game, to a ski area, to the Europapark, and much more) and activities like the Santa Claus campaign . Here, students can send an internal letter to other students in the school for € 1, or in some years to various other schools in Pfullingen and Reutlingen . A chocolate Nicholas will also be enclosed with this letter. This annual campaign was discontinued in 2015 due to a lack of student participation.
