The Geschwister-Scholl-Gymnasium is the only gymnasium in Wetter (Ruhr) . It is located in Oberwengern in the Volmarstein district . Currently, 820 students are taught by 70 teachers ( as of January 2017 ).

history

The school was originally called the Städtisches Gymnasium am See because it was located in a building in the immediate vicinity of Lake Harkort . In 1989 the school buildings in Wetter were exchanged: Due to the large increase in the number of students, the grammar school had to teach in two different buildings in Alt-Wetter and therefore moved to the former Oberwengern school center (previously a secondary and secondary school). The secondary school moved into the old grammar school building on the lake, the secondary school was moved to a building not far from the secondary school, which was also a grammar school building. After the move, the high school was called "Geschwister-Scholl Gymnasium Wetter (Ruhr)" . It was named after Sophie and Hans Scholl on February 22, 1994 . On this day, a plaque was unveiled in the entrance area of ​​the school to commemorate the resistance against the fascist Nazi regime and as an invitation to civil courage and to resist racial hatred and inhuman behavior.

The development association was founded in 1954. In 2003, with the support of the city, the development association, the city savings bank and other sponsors, a cafeteria was set up.

Working groups

The working groups include theater, choir and (wind) band, technology working group, language certificates and some sporting working groups, for example for football or volleyball.

There is a cooperation with the Friedrich-Harkort-Schule in Herdecke for the upper secondary levels .

Planetary model Oberwengern

On June 20, 2006 the grammar school was officially inaugurated as the center of the new Oberwengern / Wetter planet model , which illustrates the dimensions of our planetary system on a scale of 1: 3 billion. The work on this project was financed by various sponsors and mostly carried out by students under the direction and assistance of the Director of Studies, Klaus Kaschuba . For example, at important locations near the orbits in the model, e.g. B. Volmarstein Castle and within the school building, display boards made of Plexiglas with information on the respective planet are attached and the planetary orbits are marked on the ground on the school grounds.

School solar system

On the occasion of the inauguration of the photovoltaic system on the flat roof of the Wetter Realschule in 1998, the school management of the Geschwister-Scholl-Gymnasium asked Abakus to make an initial offer for a solar system . At the same time, negotiations with the power company began. Although funding was still available for such purposes and the city of Wetter had received funding for energies from the state of North Rhine-Westphalia as part of the REN program (REN for renewable energies and energy saving) , which should be used in exemplary projects in schools , took some time to start the project. Among other things, the question had to be clarified whether the investment of almost DM 70,000 is worthwhile.

The financing took place among other things through

  • Financial support from the state of North Rhine-Westphalia
  • Funding from the city of Wetter from the state's REN program
  • Material and organizational support from the AVU
  • "Savings" from the Fifty-Fifty energy saving program (1998, for example, DM 8,750)

Since the school itself cannot act as a carrier of a solar system , this was taken over by the sponsoring association. This fulfills the required legal conditions. The friends' association commissioned the current school management with the implementation of the measure.
