The Goethe-Schiller-Gymnasium Jüterbog is the only high school in the city of Jüterbog . The city belongs to the Brandenburg district of Teltow-Fläming at the transition between Hohem and Niederem Fläming . Teaching began in the school building in 1912.
history
At the beginning of the 20th century there was a serious shortage of trained teachers in Berlin and the surrounding area. However, there was no willingness to raise the salary of the teaching society in order to raise the profile of the teaching profession. It was therefore decided to set up financially supported training centers, the teacher seminars . Due to the increasing pressure of the residents, the town of Jüterbog began negotiations with the Prussian school administration in 1898. The content of the controversy was the establishment of a secondary school in Jüterbog and the associated subsidies. Despite the rejection of applications for financial support, the decision was made in 1901 to set up a municipal secondary school with secondary Latin courses and an attached secondary school . The school, which was probably built in 1868, was then located in Zinnaer Vorstadt 52, which also housed the field and foot artillery school.
Due to great demand, also from foreign students, the pressure for the state to take over the school increased. But that didn't happen at first.
On March 11, 1901, the school was recognized as a Realschule by the Prussian Ministry of Education . The school's reputation grew rapidly and in 1903 construction began on a new school building at Schillerstraße 42, the site of today's Schillerschule . On April 11, 1905, the new Realschule building was inaugurated. They met in the morning in the school yard of the previous school building, Zinnaer Vorstadt 52, to celebrate the solemn move to the new school building after a speech by the director. In 1905 it was recognized as an authorized educational institution.
In 1907 a course with 16 participants was opened in the "Old Monastery" in Jüterbog, a former Franciscan monastery next to the monks' church , and a new school building was planned. The seminar opened on June 11, 1908, and another preparatory class was accepted. In 1910 the expansion of the seminar, with three seminar and preparation classes each, was completed. The construction of a new school building could now be started. It was realized in the years 1910 to 1912 and today's Goethe School was created. The construction costs were 310,000 Reichsmarks . The building consisted of a school, a house with four apartments and a building with an auditorium and gym. The inauguration took place on June 4, 1912. Ten teachers, 105 preparants, 90 seminarians and 109 practice students now work at the school. In addition to the training of teachers, the seminar also took on the function of a general school for lower-income families, because the initially four-class and later five-class practice school was free for the students.
In March 1906 the school then celebrated its promotion to the Progymnasium . The nationalization of the school began on September 1, 1908, which represented an enormous financial relief for the city of Jüterbog, although it had to agree to an annual payment of 20,000 marks and pay for a new extension. The teachers were taken on as civil servants.
In 1908 a student alumni , a kind of boarding school , was built to meet the growing demand from rural families. For this purpose, the city acquired the building at Mönchenstrasse 4 and made it available to the school. Because the high school costs of the alumnate of 800 Reichsmarks annually caused the demand for students to drop rapidly, it had to be closed again in 1913.
On October 15, 1913, the foundation stone was laid for the next change in the nature of the Schiller School. It was decided to expand the Realprogymnasium into a Realgymnasium . The remodeling was completed by Easter 1914. The secondary school part was retained.
In 1922 the training system was changed again. The school became a reform high school with independent high school classes. This meant that primary education was still four years. The separation took place in the 10th school year. Realschule students left school after the 10th grade with a certificate of secondary school leaving certificate , while high school graduates went through another three grades.
At the beginning of 1924 and 1925 it was decided to take the first girls into the school. This happened not quite free from prejudice: the girl was in contrast to the male applicants, an official medical health certificate demanded. In 1938 the grammar school and the advanced school were merged. On April 1, 1938, today's Goetheschule became a center for higher education in Jüterbog.
time of the nationalsocialism
The incumbent director Michaelis was replaced on March 31, 1934 by Kornmaul, the deputy local group leader of the NSDAP , because of his humanistic attitude . At that time, two Jewish teachers were still employed at the school. They were released from school in the same year. Kornmaul shot his family to death in April 1945 and committed suicide .
Soviet occupation zone
After April 1945, classes at all Jüterbog schools were suspended. Some took from 4 June 1945, teaching again, but had to lecturing on 4 August 1945 arrangement of the Soviet Military Administration in Germany employed (SMAD) Central Administration of Public Education (ZfV) rehire. The reason was the books that came from the Nazi era. In addition, the ZfV planned to redesign the curriculum. From October 1st, all schools reopened. At today's Goethe School , four of the eleven teachers were dismissed because of their political views. Seven teachers had to teach 286 students.
In the school year 1946/1947 the high school was transformed into a twelve-class unified school and was officially called the Goethe School . The name Schillerschule went to the school building at Schillerstraße 42. From September 1st, all classes in Jüterbog's schools were redesigned in which girls and boys were taught.
German Democratic Republic (GDR)

In 1952, some of the teacher's apartments were converted into a boarding school to serve students coming from outside the school, although these were reserved for girls. The boys were housed in appropriate rooms on the top floor. From 1955, attending the 10-class Polytechnic High School (POS) became compulsory. The Goetheschule was run as an advanced secondary school (EOS). From 1960 to 1968 the high school graduates received a skilled worker certificate at the same time as they graduated , in one of their completed training courses.
Since from 1967 access to the EOS no longer took place directly in the 9th grade, 9th and 10th grade were now preparatory classes at the EOS, so that a final exam had to be taken in the 10th grade. Admission to the preparatory stage was not very easy, however, as the approval of the school and a district committee was required. The transition to EOS was easier. There a committee made up of teachers, parents and FDJ decided on the ability of the student. However, preference was given to applicants aiming for an officer or educational career.
An episode in 1961
On a school trip of the 12th grade of the Goethe School - as part of a pirate game - pictures of the Chinese Communist Party chief Mao Zedong and SED Politburo members were "buried" in a bottle. This had serious consequences: the SED felt provoked and the Ministry of State Security intervened. Pretrial detention for several weeks followed . The school principal and several teachers have been fired. Some 12th grade students were reprimanded , others were sentenced to two and a half years in prison for “ propaganda dangerous to the state ”. In 1990 the disciplinary measures were investigated and found to be illegal.
present
In 1991 the education system of the GDR was subdivided according to the model of the school system in the old federal states. The number of grade levels has been extended to 13. The ten-year Polytechnic High School and the Advanced High School now joined the Goethe-Schiller-Gymnasium together. The upper secondary level of the grammar school also made it possible for total schoolchildren to be admitted so that they can get to the Abitur .
The building is listed and is one of the architectural monuments in Jüterbog .

The spoken theater was founded by Karsten Wolf in 1993 and is still in charge of it. In 2013 it will celebrate its 20th anniversary. It all started with four players in grade 12. The repertoire of the twelve premieres ranged from pure spoken pieces such as Peter Handke's insulting the public to theater productions by modern authors such as George Tabori , and even a literary evening ( Ernst Jandl ).
The venue is the theater and concert venue in Jüterbog. The cast list includes ten to 20 actors from grades 10 to 13. The highlight of the spoken theater was participation in the international school theater meeting in Potsdam .
