A vocational school also offers the opportunity to obtain the technical college entrance qualification. Attending the Technical Gymnasium of GDS 1 leads to a general higher education entrance qualification (Abitur). The profiles offered are: mechatronics (formerly technology), information technology (IT), design and media technology (GMT) and technology and management (TuM).
particularities
School partnerships are of particular importance at Gottlieb Daimler School 1 . The multilateral contacts of GDS 1 at home and abroad are intended to promote the intercultural and communicative competence of the students as well as their international professional ability. On the one hand, there are partnerships whose primary goal is learning and deepening a foreign language (e.g. with Singapore ), on the other hand, there are also collaborations in the fields of technology or design with countries whose language is not taught at GDS 1 (e.g. with Sweden or Hungary ). The joint projects are theme-related, experience and production-oriented, with the aim of promoting personal contact and the independent planning, construction and work of the participants.
- Comenius is part of the European SOCRATES program in the field of school education. The school integrates this project as an elective subject in the three-year technical college and in the technical high school. She works with four foreign schools from Győr (Hungary), Piteå (Sweden), Vaasa (Finland) and Fano (Italy) on the issue of solutions for a comprehensive, innovative technological change with a focus on energy efficiency in Europe. The participating pupils are to be strengthened and promoted by the project, especially in the areas of "national and international professional skills" and "intercultural competence".
- To practice entrepreneurship is the meaning of elective subject " practice firm " for technicians of the Gottlieb-Daimler-School 1 . Real economic processes are simulated by manufacturing and marketing various products independently. The legal form of the practice firm is a registered cooperative, which is divided into four departments: management, human resources, accounting and resources. The relevant positions are filled by the participating students who keep the practice firm running through various projects. One of these projects is the job optimization of the disabled in the non-profit workshops. Others deal, for example, with the production and sale of turned parts for a steam engine or bookends for the district administration.
- In the junior company PromoTechJr. As a subdivision of the training company, the students already bear full responsibility during their training: Unlike in the training company, fictitious goods and services are not traded here, but real business processes are carried out with real products. Product quality and customer satisfaction are paramount.
- The school partnership between GDS 1 and the ITE (Institute of Technical Education) in Singapore has existed since the 1990s and was extended by five years in 2009. The main content of this exchange program is the implementation of regular e-mail and video conferencing projects with changing groups of schoolchildren, during which communication is exclusively in English . In this way, the young people should not only use the foreign language in practice, but also learn how to use modern technology while making international contacts. Other areas of cooperation are regular teacher and student exchanges in the technical college. GDS 1 is actively supporting the ITE in Singapore in setting up and operating a technical school based on the Baden-Württemberg model.
Gottlieb Daimler School 2
The Gottlieb Daimler School 2 offers lessons in a technical high school, in vocational schools, technical schools, vocational schools, vocational colleges and vocational preparation years with a focus on:
- Electrical and communication technology
- Wood technology
- Computer science
- Personal care and health as well
- Media technology
Since 2011 there has been a technical high school for environmental technology in the E-building of Gottlieb Daimler School 2.
In September 2012, the previously independent Academy for Data Processing Böblingen was merged with the Gottlieb Daimler School 2.
History of the school center
The history of the school center begins at the end of 1857 with the establishment of the Sindelfingen vocational training school ; Initially, a secondary school teacher gives 30 students four hours of lessons a week. Building on this, the Sindelfingen trade school was opened on May 1, 1910 . Lessons take place in 14 subjects in the specialist departments for mechanical engineering and structural engineering as well as for the arts and crafts professions.
After the First World War , a full-time teacher started teaching 122 vocational students for the first time in 1919. About half of the students come from the Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft plant, which opened in Sindelfingen in 1915 . In 1927 the school had three full-time teachers who taught about 200 students. For the first time, workshop lessons are being introduced in various companies, the forerunners of today's technology laboratory. In 1938 the school was named the Sindelfingen Industrial Vocational School .
After the Second World War , the vocational school recovered only with difficulty. In 1946, 330 pupils in eleven classes were taught by only two teachers because many teachers were suspended or imprisoned.
In 1952, the school authorities decided to bring together the students in the industrial area in Sindelfingen and the students in the commercial area in Böblingen . A new construction of the vocational school outside the city center is planned and implemented from 1955. At this point in time, over 1000 students in 38 classes are being taught by 11 teachers. The current school building was built in six construction phases by 1987. The former Sindelfingen weaving school will be incorporated as a textile department and the personal care field. The technical school for sheet metal processing and data electronics and the technical high school are launched. Workshops for the professional field of wood technology arise. 1957 is engineering school founded in 1969, the Technical High School .
During this time, the school changed its name twice: Von Gottlieb-Daimler-Schule Sindelfingen. Commercial vocational and technical school (1955) at the Gottlieb Daimler School in Sindelfingen. Commercial school center (1976). In 1998 the school was given its current name, Gottlieb Daimler School. Technical school center Sindelfingen .
Since the number of students has now grown to over 4,000 and the teaching staff to 220 people, the school was divided into Gottlieb Daimler School 1 and Gottlieb Daimler School 2 with a ceremony on February 1, 1999 . From now on, these schools exist independently of organization and develop their own profiles.
The Sindelfingen industrial school is celebrating its 150th anniversary in 2007, and the Gottlieb Daimler schools celebrating their 50th anniversary.
