Motto & school colors

The school's motto is Humanitati et Sapientiae ( Latin ): "of humanity and wisdom". The motto can be found below the ornamental gable on the new school building from 1877 (today's August Bebel secondary school). It refers to the humanistic tradition of the institution. The " Zanzibar door" installed in the 2000s on the ground floor of today's school building (House I) bears the motto above the passage.

The school colors blue and yellow correspond to the state colors of the Duchy of Braunschweig and refer to the traditional ties between Blankenburg and its former state capital.

history

School building from 1620 with extension from 1677, after 1877 poor house
Former grammar school from 1877, today August Bebel secondary school

In 1537 the school was founded as the Count's Latin School by the brothers Ulrich and Bernhard von Blankenburg-Regenstein . The premises near the Bartholomäuskirche were used, which from the 13th century until its dissolution in 1532 housed the Cistercian monastery above the city. Rector was the prior of the Michaelstein monastery .

After 1620, a new building financed by the city council replaced the rundown building. Thanks to Rector Barthold Meier , an extension was added in 1677 and the facility was renamed the Herzogliches Gymnasium Rudolph-Augusteum after the reigning Duke Rudolf August von Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel . Under the rector Johann Heinrich August Schulze , a school reform took place at the end of the 18th century in the sense of Enlightenment and philanthropism . At the same time, a citizens' school (in today's Schulstrasse) was set up as a two-class elementary school and an industrial daughter's school (in today's Harzstrasse) was founded at the suggestion of Johann Heinrich Wilhelm Ziegenbein and his wife. The old school building now served as a four-class higher school form.

In the second quarter of the 19th century, the teaching staff trained to study theology was gradually "secularized" through new appointments, and the school thus acquired the character of a humanistic grammar school with a high school diploma in accordance with the Prussian educational reforms . In the 1870s, the school was then rebuilt as a grammar school outside the city gates according to plans by the district architect Carl Frühling and inaugurated on October 23, 1877. The linden trees of the medieval court square on Thie had to give way to the new building . The name of the facility, which still exists today, goes back to this location.

In 1927 there was a restructuring from the humanistic grammar school to the reform real grammar school and a good 10 years later it was converted to the German high school for boys. In 1963, the school form was divided into the polytechnical high school (grades 1 to 10) and extended high school (grades 11 and 12). A move to the new Albrechtstrasse building took place in 1969.

In 1991, the extended high school was converted to the "Am Thie" grammar school with grades 5 to 12. In 2002 there was another change of location to the comprehensively modernized Friedensstraße 26 building and the facility received the title of recognized UNESCO project school . The building from 1969 in Albrechtstrasse now serves as a school building for the fifth grade. In 2008 the grammar school "Am Thie" was accepted into the school network School without Racism - School with Courage .
