history

The school building

In 1863 a higher and a lower trade school was founded, which in 1879 was divided into a higher middle school and specialist classes. In 1898 the real classes of the higher citizen school became an independent Realschule , while the specialist classes were affiliated with a mechanical engineering school.

The school moved into the building on Siegesstrasse in 1903. In 1929 the school became the German Oberschule , and in the same year the first pupils passed the Abitur . One year later, the Rector's School in Ronsdorf, founded in 1852, was affiliated to the former German High School as a branch. In 1935 the school was converted into a high school for boys and the Ernst Moritz Arndt School (support classes). In 1943 the school building was partially destroyed during the Second World War ; the school operations were then outsourced to Weimar. Two years later, the school resumed operations on Siegesstrasse as the Barmen Humanistic Gymnasium . In 1949 an evening grammar school moved into the school building, which moved out again in 1975. From 1966 to 1971 the school was gradually expanded, including a scientific and an economic branch.

The lessons will take place all day since 1986; a cafeteria was completed in 1987. The school has had its current name Johannes Rau full-day grammar school since 2006. In 1996 it was awarded the title of School Without Racism - School with Courage . In 2008 the Ronsdorf branch was closed. The school has also been a UNESCO project school since 2014 .

The school building has been refurbished since 2015 and the refurbishment work should be ready in summer 2021 at the earliest.

The school received a lot of media attention in March 2017 with a complaint by Muslim students against a ban on prayer in the school building, thereby strengthening a political debate about prayer rooms and attempts at proselytizing in German schools. For some years now, the school has had an above-average proportion of pupils with a migration background .
