The Goethe-Schule Flensburg is a grammar school in the Flensburg district of Jürgensby .

history

The forerunner of the Goethe School was the Municipal Agricultural School founded in 1875 , which was expanded to include a commercial branch in 1884. In the years 1893-1894, with the establishment of an upper secondary school, the expansion into an upper secondary school began . For the school, a building was built next to the Flensburg Museum of Applied Arts in 1896 , which is now part of the Flensburg Museum Mountain as the Hans Christiansen House .

In the early 1930s, the teaching staff advocated naming the school after Hermann Bendix Todsen , who had been the mayor of Flensburg until 1930. But the National Socialist magistrate under Wilhelm Sievers rejected the name after the honorary citizen of Flensburg and enforced the name Adolf Hitler School in 1933/1934 . The school thus belonged to a whole series of educational institutions that were renamed accordingly after the seizure of power . At the end of the Second World War there was a military hospital for wounded soldiers in the school building.

After the war, the grammar school was renamed the municipal high school for boys , which after the Nazi period was again linked to the humanistic foundation of the school. To mark the 200th birthday of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe , the Goethe year 1949, the school was actively involved in the Flensburg Goethe Festival. As a thank you for this commitment, the city's new magistrate decided to give the school the new name Goethe School . Coming to terms with the past played a role in school life even later. At the beginning of 1956, for example, the state student council for secondary and high schools invited to a discussion on the subject of July 20, 1944 in the auditorium of the Goethe School, at which a general, a historian and a theologian presented themselves to the student audience.

In 1950, when girls were first accepted, coeducation began at the Goethe School. From April 6, 1961, the “New Gymnasium” was also located in the same building for a short time, which soon afterwards moved into its new premises on Tilsiter Strasse on April 24, 1962 and was renamed the Fördegymnasium . In 1992, the Goethe School began to cooperate with the special school in biology and Latin .

In 2003 the grammar school became a pilot school for the Abitur after the 12th grade (G8) and in 2010 a competence center for the promotion of talent . On May 5, 2011, the Goethe School was named the European School. It has been a model school for learning with digital media since 2017.

From 2015 to 2019, the Goethe School was renovated for 6.5 million euros. On Friday, September 6, 2019, the school celebrated its birthday in 1894. In addition to this 125th anniversary, the construction of House I 100 years earlier and the school's name 70 years ago were also celebrated.

building

From 1914 to 1918, the main building at Bismarckstrasse  41 was constructed according to plans by the architect Paul Ziegler , who was responsible for numerous important buildings in the city . The main building is in the style of the Heimatschutz with Baroque stylistic elements and is one of the city's most important cultural monuments . With its distinctive dome, it dominates the east of the inner-city silhouette of Flensburg and forms the counterpart to the buildings of the Auguste-Viktoria-Schule and Schloss-Duburg-Schule on the west bank of the city, also designed by Paul Ziegler . The south wing, which was planned from the beginning, was only added later, in 1927.

The original Willy Weber School, today's House II of the Goethe School

The annex building, House II, opposite the main building, was built between 1905 and 1907 based on designs by Otto Fielitz , Paul Ziegler's predecessor. The former Willy Weber School originally served as a primary school . Today the 5th to 8th grades of the Goethe School are taught in the said Willi-Weber-Haus school building. The Kneipp house attached to house II does not belong to the school despite its close proximity.
