The state-run Friedrichgymnasium Altenburg is a grammar school in Altenburg and was founded in 1522 as the Latin School Schola Altenburgensis . She taught Latin , Greek and Hebrew until 1947 . It is the largest educational institution in the district town of Altenburg.
history
In 1522, today's Friedrichgymnasium was founded as a municipal Latin school. On May 13, 1713, the school was renamed the Herzogliches Friedrichgymnasium . Between 1727 and 1729 a new school building was built on the same site. The school stayed there until it moved to the former Josephinum in Geraer Straße in 1841. In 1901 another building was built on Hospitalplatz. In 1945 the school was reopened in Germany by the Soviet military administration . Two years later the school is converted into a primary school. The two individual buildings were renamed. The building on Hospitalstrasse was converted into Dr. Theodor Neubauer Oberschule was renamed and the building on Geraer Strasse was named Karl Marx .
Youth resistance against the SED dictatorship
The Karl Marx School was the focus of youth resistance in Altenburg from 1949 to 1950. Several students and teachers distributed leaflets based on the model of the White Rose and built a pirate transmitter . After the perpetrators were caught, three members of the opposition, including the young teachers from the Karl Marx School Siegfried Flack and Wolfgang Ostermann and the student Hans-Joachim Näther, were sentenced to death and executed. The director of the Karl Marx School, Dr. Voss, was released and then fled to the west. The student Ludwig Hayne initially managed to escape to West Berlin. There he attended the business school in Berlin-Charlottenburg and took part in actions by the combat group against inhumanity . On July 20, 1950, he was arrested by the GDR State Security on Potsdamer Platz, taken to the People's Police prison on Alexanderplatz and finally handed over to the Soviet occupying forces. A Soviet military tribunal in Weimar sentenced him to death on February 21, 1951. Hayne was executed in Moscow on April 28, 1951. A street in Altenburg is named after him.
After 1990
In 1991 both schools were merged and turned into a grammar school. In 1994 the school was renamed Friedrichgymnasium Altenburg . The building in Geraer Straße was converted in 1994 with a conversion of the sports hall and in 1995 with a new building for a music school. After the Altenburg high school was closed in 2002, the remaining years were affiliated to the Friedrichgymnasium. Until 2005 the school had three buildings available. Since then, however, the students have only been accommodated in the buildings on Geraer Strasse and Hospitalstrasse. The second building was handed over a few years ago. This is the Theodor Neubauer School.
Extra-curricular engagement
The Friedrichgymnasium has been taking part in school Olympics , youth research , youth training for the Olympics , exchange programs, competitions in special fields and other projects for years . Various projects that were carried out at the Friedrichgymnasium offer a further change from normal lessons. To be mentioned here are 'RiAL - Radeln im Altenburger Land', a project on the subject of Anne Frank or the Comenius project. The student company Common S AG also stands out here. On several days of the week, working groups are also offered in the afternoons, such as a choir or gifted mathematics.
