The Friedrich Schiller School is a high school in the city of Leipzig in the Gohlis district . It is located on the corner of Sass and Elsbethstraße in the building that locals Tower School is called. This building with its striking tower housed the 11th Citizens' School (from 1905) , the 36th Elementary School (from 1919), the 36th Elementary School (from 1946) and the 36th Middle School (from 1956).

history

There was a school in Gohlis as early as the first half of the 18th century. This was located on Menckestrasse across from the Gohliser Schlösschen . At the end of the century, the number of students grew rapidly. That is why the 36th elementary school was built in 1872 and an extension was added in 1888. In 1905 the 11th Citizens' School was built on the site where the Schiller School is today. This building also had a tower.

Imperial period 1905 to 1918

The first director of the 11th public school was Eduard Käfer. He inaugurated the school on September 22, 1905. Käfer was dismissed in 1915 because of differences with teachers and parents. His successor was Arthur Uebel, who ran the school until his retirement in 1924.

Weimar Republic 1919 to 1933

As a result of the First World War and the November Revolution , which also spread in Saxony, everyday life at the school changed. The most obvious change was the new name 36th Elementary School . In addition, the new political order also created new focuses in the classroom. The catechism disappeared, and religious education was reduced to two hours a week. In the next few years, structures for parental participation, school lunches and z. B. introduced a school garden. The office of director was now occupied by Paul Grünert.

National Socialism 1933 to 1945

During the time of National Socialism , the ideological influence on the school increased. Teachers and students took part in parades and holidays. The school continued to be named 36th Elementary School . After the beginning of the war, the situation came to a head in 1940. The students were divided between the 35th and 37th elementary schools because the building was used as a barracks from now on. On July 20, 1944, part of the school was destroyed and the tower dome fell onto the courtyard. Classes began again after a decision by the Russian military administration on October 1, 1945.

GDR 1945 to 1990

In the first post-war years there was a lack of food, teachers (former members of the NSDAP had been dismissed), heating material and building materials that were needed to repair the destroyed tower roof. The situation relaxed again in the school year 1948/49 and cleared the way for lessons according to the ideas of the SED government. The college as well as the student body organized themselves into FDJ and SED. During the restructuring of the education system in the GDR in the 1950s and 1960s, the school was renamed 36th Middle School .

1990 to 1995

Despite the normality that had set in in 1948/49, the school's eye-catching roof was never renewed until the political change . This only happened during the renovation of the building before it reopened as the Friedrich Schiller School on December 20, 1994.

classes

The high school offers English (from the 5th grade), Latin (from the 5th grade to the 9th grade, then French), French (from the 6th grade) and Russian (from the 8th grade as a profile) as well as a scientific, linguistic and social science profile.

In addition to the cultural area and the Schiller Academy, projects such as social (er) leben , a social internship in the 9th grade, are offered. The school is in close contact as part of its partnership with Menelik High School in Addis Ababa , Ethiopia. In 2011, students and teachers from the school traveled to the Ethiopian capital to strengthen the cooperation. Another school trip took place in October 2015.

School program
