The Geschwister-Scholl-Gymnasium ( "GSG" for short ) is one of the three high schools in Lüdenscheid . In 1858 the girls' class broke away from the boys' school at the time , now the Zeppelin Gymnasium , and formed the basis of an independent girls' school . The grammar school, named after the Scholl siblings since 1960, now has around 700 students , who are taught by around 55 teachers . It was a purely girls' grammar school until 1973. It is located on Staberg , where there has been an upper school cooperation since 1971 with the Zeppelin grammar school, which is also located there.

Naming

The name of the grammar school refers to the humanistic ideals of the students Hans and Sophie Scholl , who formed the “ White Rose ” resistance group against the Nazi regime at the University of Munich and were executed for it in 1943 at the age of only 25 and 22. Respect for human rights , civil courage and a sense of responsibility are to be seen as characteristics that should determine today's society, and this is what the school should represent to the outside world in the name of the Scholl siblings .

history

Girls 'classes and girls' school (1822–1909)

Since 1822 there was a girls class at the Rector's School (today Zeppelin-Gymnasium), but its work was not the same as that at the Boys' School. When the rectorate school was taken over by the city in 1858, the 30 girls received only 16 hours a week. A year later, there were already two girls' classes and the lessons consisted of 28 hours a week. In 1860 the first female teacher was hired and the character of the girls' school was shaped. In 1865 each class comprised a two-year course, which was only supplemented by a fifth school year in 1875. However, the quality of the training was far from being on the level of the boys' schools, as there were no suitable institutes in Prussia for training female teachers. In 1883 the girls 'classes broke away from the boys' school, which was now called Realprogymnasium . A girls' school with an independent board of trustees was founded. Under the part-time headmaster, Pastor Lappe, the school had 60 students at the start of its independence.

Former school building of the Lyceum in Sauerfelderstrasse 5

Since the management of the school in addition to office was not to lead, in 1888 the middle school teacher Schierenberg from Iserlohn first full-time manager. In order to deal with the space problems caused by the enlargement of the teaching staff and the student body, a new school building was built in the Sauerfelder Straße in 1891/1892 . In 1900 the school was recognized by the government as a girls 'school after the salaries were adjusted to those of the boys' school and a senior teacher post was established. Due to new requirements (e.g. natural sciences) for teaching, the building had to be expanded again in 1907 and 1914.

Lyceum (1910)

The reorganization decree of the higher girls' school of 1908 led to an expansion of the teaching system. A seventh year was added and the name was changed to Lyceum. Despite the expansion of the curriculum, the Lyceum was mostly about "aesthetic education". The job opportunities of the young women played almost no role.

The college of the Lyceum was occupied from 1899 to 1902

Upper Lyceum (1925)

In 1924, the city ​​council passed the expansion of the lyceum into an upper lyceum. At Easter 1928, 15 female students from the first senior year in 1925 received their university entrance qualification. Before the period of economic decline and unemployment, the Oberlyzeum had 419 students in 1928. The number of students fell from 1931 until it had almost halved to 210 in 1938.

Modern language high school for girls (1946)

After the Second World War , the school resumed its service on March 1, 1946, with the approval of the British Military Government. A strong influx of schoolgirls began, because the undestroyed city attracted many people. The teachers were reinstated without exception by the Provincial Military Government Det. 307 in Münster. After the situation normalized, the teaching structure was reorganized again. The natural sciences have been greatly reduced, and geography has also been shortened. In addition to the existing foreign languages English and French , Latin was added as a third compulsory subject . In addition, there was a space problem with over 500 female students, so that rooms outside the school building had to be rented since 1943. In order to deal with the emergency, the new school building on Hochstrasse began in 1958. This was divided into three construction phases. The first section (class wing, science rooms and administration rooms) was already occupied in 1959.

The new-language girls' grammar school

Geschwister-Scholl-Gymnasium (1960)

Following a resolution by the City Council of Lüdenscheid , the modern-language girls ' grammar school was named Geschwister-Scholl-Gymnasium in 1960. In October 1964, the second construction phase was completed, including a gym and the auditorium with stage technology for around 400 visitors. Events take place there regularly. On August 11, 1971, the cooperation with the Zeppelin-Gymnasium began due to the immediate vicinity and the possibility of offering high school students a larger number of basic and advanced courses. The number of enrollments at the Geschwister-Scholl-Gymnasium declined in the 1972/73 school year, probably as a result of the co-education introduced at the municipal gymnasium (Bergstadtgymnasium) and its new building. Both made this appear particularly attractive. In order to counter the related imbalances, the school and main committee of the city took the decision to regulate the allocation of students to the individual grammar schools according to primary school districts. The students of the Wehberger School, the Peace School, the Bierbaum School and the Brüninghausen School were now assigned to the Geschwister-Scholl-Gymnasium if they wanted to attend a Gymnasium. In the 1973/74 school year, co-education began here too and the first boys were admitted to the fifth grade. The Lüdenscheid urban development plan of 1975 envisaged merging the Geschwister-Scholl- and Zeppelin-Gymnasium, but this has not yet been implemented.

A class of the Geschwister-Scholl-Gymnasium visited the Dechenhöhle in Iserlohn at the end of the 1960s .

particularities

German school award

The Geschwister-Scholl-Gymnasium received second place at the award of the German School Prize by the Robert Bosch Foundation and the Heidehof Foundation on June 6, 2014 in Berlin. The prize is awarded to schools with “excellent pedagogical practice”, whereby both the educational level and social interaction are decisive.

Seal of approval for individual support

On February 3, 2007, the Prime Minister of North Rhine-Westphalia, Jürgen Rüttgers , awarded the Geschwister-Scholl-Gymnasium the “Individual Support Seal of Approval” from the State Ministry for Schools and Further Education. This recognized the numerous teaching and extracurricular activities of the school for gifted students and for students with special needs.

Working groups

Traditionally, a large number of working groups are offered in addition to regular lessons. In the school year 2012/13 there are working groups in the following areas:

  • Artistic area: Architecture, handicrafts / decoration, parent-student-teacher choir, art, lighting and sound engineering AG, museum AG, musical AG, inventing music, school orchestra, scenic play, dance & music,

Refectory and cafeteria

On November 21, 2011, the 400 square meter canteen of the two high schools in Staberg opened, which was financed by state and city funds as well as donations. The construction costs were around 1.4 million euros. The construction became necessary due to the lack of a break hall or similar. Snacks, drinks and hot meals can be purchased there. Thirteen laminated wood beams were used, so that columns were superfluous within the building. An elevator for disabled students was also installed. The construction time was seven months. On the roof there is a photovoltaic system and solar modules for generating hot water. The Geschwister-Scholl-Gymnasium's cafeteria association operates a cafeteria on the ground floor of the school building, where parents volunteer to sell snacks during the first two breaks. The profit goes to the Association of Friends of the Geschwister-Scholl-Gymnasium in Lüdenscheid e. V. benefit.

School partnerships

The grammar school maintains various partnerships with schools from other countries. An annual student exchange with the La Hotoie school in Amiens ( Picardy / France ) is offered. Further exchange programs take place with Methwold High School in Thetford ( Norfolk / Great Britain ) and with schools from Cittadella ( Padua / Italy ), Saint-Quentin ( Picardy / France ), Piacenza ( Province of Piacenza / Italy) and Hastings ( East Sussex / Great Britain ) instead of.

There is a partnership with the neighboring Zeppelin-Gymnasium for the teaching of various subjects of the gymnasiale Oberstufe. With the Laurentianum Arnsberg grammar school and the Bergstadt grammar school in Lüdenscheid, teachers from the Geschwister-Scholl grammar school develop concepts for individual support.
