The Fritz-Erler-Schule is a commercial vocational school , a business high school and business school in the city of Pforzheim . It was named after the politician Fritz Erler (1913-1967). In 1998 it was the largest school in the Karlsruhe district and housed the largest upper secondary school in southern Germany. With almost 2,000 students, it is the largest school in Pforzheim and in the Enz district.
history
The origin of the school can be traced back to the year 1859, when the then Lord Mayor of Pforzheim Carl Zerrenner initiated the introduction of a trade course at the trade school . The reason for this was the increasing importance of trade through the emerging industry - especially the jewelry industry - in the city. The commercial course was affiliated with the Realschule in 1891 . When it became an upper secondary school in 1898 , the commercial course was allowed to call itself “commercial school” and was given its own director. From 1899 girls were also admitted to school. The school became independent in 1911 and was named "Pforzheim Municipal Business School". In 1937 a business school was attached, which led to the Abitur . It was the predecessor of the later commercial high school , which was introduced in 1969. In 1964, for reasons of space, the commercial school was divided into a "commercial college I" and a "commercial college II". This date is considered to be the foundation of today's Fritz Erler School. The "Handelslehranstalt II" became the Ludwig-Erhard-Schule Pforzheim . On July 4, 1967, the school was renamed "Fritz-Erler-Schule".
building
The school is located on the former premises of the Pforzheim tram hall in the Brötzingen district . In 1969 planning began for the new school building. On May 18, 1971, the local council approved an architectural competition . Finally, on March 23, 1972, the jury awarded the first prize to the design by the Stuttgart architecture firm Behnisch & Partner , which was also awarded the contract for the construction. The increased use of glass is typical of the architecture office. The building also has a swimming pool and gym with outdoor facilities for the sports area. On July 5, 1987, the Fritz-Erler-Halle served as the press center for the stage of the Tour de France in Pforzheim. After environmental projects have been increasingly pursued at the school since 1997, a photovoltaic system was finally installed on the roof of the building.

Fritz Erler Prize
The Fritz Erler Prize is a prize from the city of Pforzheim, which is awarded annually to the best graduates of the Fritz Erler School. It is a medal with the inscription: “A people needs knowledge of its history, but it must live in the present and for the future” . For 15 years the "Fritz-Erler-Preis" was presented to the best high school graduate personally by Käthe Erler , Erler's widow.
School partnerships
The Fritz Erler School has partnerships with schools across Europe, including schools in Lunéville , Vicenza , Gernika and Budapest . The partner school in Germany is the "Prof.-Dr.Zeigner-Schule" in Dresden , the first business school in Saxony, with whose students a regular exchange takes place. This school partnership is one of the very few German-German school partnerships that have existed since reunification.
Events
The Erler Beat was for many years as the largest student disco in Baden-Wuerttemberg. From the mid-1990s until shortly after the turn of the millennium, it was a popular music and dance event in the Enz district for schoolchildren and young people with up to 2500 visitors a year. The "Erler Beat" traditionally took place in the town hall of Pforzheim, where different music was played in several halls. Well-known bands like PUR played here and well-known DJs played. This student project was organized by the SMV of the "Fritz-Erler-Gymnasium" under the supervision of some teachers from the "Fritz-Erler-Gymnasium".
Practice Firms
In class specialist training firm working virtually. The students sit in an office and carry out all commercial activities that occur in a real company. All practice firms are linked to one another and to many others through the Central Practice Firms Ring (ZÜF) and give each other orders. Each practice firm is supported by a real company, the so-called sponsor company. This leads training courses for the students in various areas, promotes various events and in return is made known by the practice firm on many occasions. Each practice company has a teacher and a representative of the respective sponsoring company as a contact person.
Working groups
Offered working groups are (as of 2011): Schach, Theater AG, Mobile (Tanz-AG), Jazzband Fritz-Erler-BigBand, Kunst AG.
The Fritz-Erler-BigBand is a working group for teachers, pupils and alumni. The "Fritz-Erler-BigBand" has played on behalf of various institutions such as the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Culture , the Chamber of Commerce and Industry (IHK), and at the opening of the state horticultural shows in Pforzheim and Singen-Hohenheim. In 1989 the "Fritz-Erler-BigBand" took part in the concert in the town hall of Pforzheim and received the award from the Ministry of Culture for their performance.
particularities
The school runs the largest commercial high school in Baden-Württemberg and at the same time the largest upper secondary school in the Karlsruhe district. The reason for this is the 6 classes of the three-year business high school with 32 students each, which are added to the two to three classes of the six-year business high school and thus an Abitur class of around 175 graduates is achieved every year.
The school makes its rooms available to the IHK twice a year for the oral exams . On behalf of the IHK-Nordschwarzwald it is host for the examination boards for bank clerks, industrial clerks, office clerks and merchants from the real estate and housing industry. Almost all subject teachers at the school are long-term members of these examination boards.
The "junior company" founded in 1999 offers practically interested students of all types of schools and grades the opportunity to put the theoretically learned economic business processes into practice. The aim is to let the students experience how to make profit in balanced, environmentally friendly performance processes.
The Fritz-Erler-Wirtschaftsgymnasium won the national championship in the subject of "Economic knowledge in competition" at the 1987 competition for young economists.
