history
founding
On May 10, 1960, the City Council of Osnabrück decided to establish another high school for boys in Neustadt in addition to the Carolinum Catholic grammar school founded in 804 , the Ratsgymnasium , which had existed since 1595, and the Ernst Moritz Arndt grammar school. It was supposed to cover the demand in modern language and especially in mathematics and science schools and to take in boys from the southern district of Osnabrück in addition to students from Osnabrück . At that time there was only the Lower Saxony home school Iburg as a boarding high school in short form with a focus on sports and arts subjects. The school was given the provisional name of 4th boys' high school .
Construction on Mäksbrink in the vicinity of the Agnes-Miegel-Realschule began in 1963. School operations began on April 21, 1965 with 565 students, of whom only 329 came from the city of Osnabrück; a large number of the students came from the district, mostly from the southern part.
The school was started as a grammar school for boys, but even in the early years of the upper grades it occasionally accepted girls because classes at the city’s girls' grammar schools such as the Käthe Kollwitz grammar school, which is oriented towards modern languages, or the denominational girls’s grammar school Angelaschule and the Ursulaschule was not sufficient to enable the graduates to start studying mathematics or science.
In 1967 the school received its final name Graf-Stauffenberg-Gymnasium after the officer and resistance fighter in the time of National Socialism , Claus Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg .
coeducation
Around 1970, coeducation was introduced at the Graf-Stauffenberg-Gymnasium like at other Osnabrück schools . In the 1971/72 school year, 42 girls were accepted into the fifth grade. When the Käthe-Kollwitz-Gymnasium was closed in 1990, some of the pupils switched to the Graf-Stauffenberg-Gymnasium and some to the Gymnasium "In der Desert" .
From 1976 onwards, the upper level was taught in the course system and the conventional school classes were dissolved.
Bilingual teaching
In 1990 bilingual teaching was introduced. In this branch geography, biology, history and politics are taught in English.
