The Goetheschule Essen is a municipal high school in the Essen district of Bredeney , with a focus on music, natural sciences and multilingualism. The school building from 1913 is a listed building.

history

Today's Goetheschule was created in 1945 by amalgamating the Goetheschule in Rüttenscheid , founded in 1899, the building of which was destroyed in the war, and the Essen-Bredeney secondary school , founded in 1910. Since the 1970s, the Goetheschule has been home to the Bredeneyer school orchestra, which also includes students from neighboring schools Schools contribute.

building

The school building on Ruschenstrasse was built in 1913 according to plans by the Düsseldorf architects Herold and Lander. Because of its "in comparison to similar school buildings of the same time - like z. B. Carl-Humann-Gymnasium or Viktoriaschule - above-average design of exterior and interior architecture in reform style ”it was placed under monument protection in 1985. The school tower, which characterizes the cityscape and is visible from afar due to the location of the school on the edge of the Ruhr heights, was also highlighted. Curiously enough, the city of Essen, as the lower monument authority, used the informally widespread term “Goethe-Gymnasium” instead of the official name “Goetheschule”.
