The Friedrich Wilhelm School (also FWS ) in Eschwege is a grammar school that has existed in its current form since 1840.
history
Eschweges first Latin school was founded in 1527, which in 1823 developed into a middle class school without foreign languages. On October 26, 1840, the Friedrich Wilhelm School emerged as a Progymnasium with Realschule, at which 53 students were taught. The namesake of the school is Crown Prince Friedrich Wilhelm of Prussia .
On April 20, 1911, the school community moved into the new school building designed by the architect Hugo Eberhardt in Bahnhofstrasse.
In December 1940 the alumni association of the Eschweger Gymnasien was founded.
At a parents' meeting on August 26, 1943, confiscation notices were distributed to the students. The students born in 1926 and 1927 (then 16 and 17 years old respectively) were deployed as flak helpers in Sandershausen to defend the airspace near Kassel. On October 3, 1943, the command post of the flak battery was hit. 23 pupils from the Friedrich Wilhelm School and 24 soldiers from the heavy flaka division 112 were killed.
For the 175th anniversary of the school in 2015, 436 students were taught in 17 classes. The workforce consisted of 25 regular teachers, 5 trainee teachers and 13 delegated teachers (upper level high school and vocational high school in Eschwege).
The school is located at Bahnhofstrasse 28 in Eschwege.
