The Gymnasium Dionysianum is a grammar school in the Westphalian Rheine , which was founded in 1658/1659.

history

The Dionysianum grammar school was founded by Franciscans in 1658/1659 , making it the oldest grammar school in Rheines.

The Dionysianum was initially on the site of today's town hall on Borneplatz. In 1908 and 1909 a new building was built on today's Anton-Führer-Straße, designed by the Gelsenkirchen architect Josef Franke in a historicizing style. In the vicinity of the castle-like complex is also the St. Peter's grammar school church, which the same architect built in 1910 and 1911.

The high school building has so far undergone two renovations. The last expansion stage was built between 1999 and 2002 by the architect Josef Paul Kleihues , a former high school student.

Since October 8, 1861, the school has been named Dionysianum after Saint Dionysius , the patron of the Rheiner Stadtkirche on the market square.

On the occasion of the 350th anniversary of the school, an educational trip to Rome was carried out from October 3rd to 10th . The number of participants in the excursion was around 1000 students. In Rome, the students took part in a city tour, visited historical sites from Roman and early Christian times and experienced a general audience of the Pope on St. Peter's Square. The students were housed in a camp near Ostia in mobile dormitories.

classes

The school community of the Dionysianum wants to work and live together. The school is a house of learning that students, teachers and parents share responsibility for shaping and shaping.

The main objective is for students to become independent personalities who live up to their responsibility for themselves and for society and who have successfully completed their studies at the Gymnasium Dionysianum, who have acquired the basis for lifelong learning.

This goal is achieved through good teaching, the

  • subject-related basic knowledge,
  • interdisciplinary orientation knowledge,
  • methodical skills in all learning areas,
  • Teamwork and willingness to cooperate and
  • the central values ​​of consideration, tolerance and fairness

conveyed.

This becomes apparent when everyone involved in the class is valued, when social and personal skills are built up and media, methodological and specialist skills are developed and secured. Lessons are anything that strengthens skills. It is therefore everyone's aim that the Dionysianum remains a “good school” that is characterized by good teaching, transparent processes and, of course, good results. This is supported by the cooperation with the extracurricular partners.

Today 66 teachers teach at the Dionysianum high school. Since February 2012, senior director Oliver Meer has been the headmaster at the Dionysianum high school.

building

In 2002 the extensive expansion of the Dionysianum was completed under the direction of the architect Josef Paul Kleihues . Because of its importance for contemporary architecture, the building was included in the Phaidon Atlas of Contemporary World Architecture. In addition to specialist rooms for chemistry and computer science, this new building also has an integrated sports hall, which you can look into from the hallway on the first floor, a meditation room, a cafeteria for serving food, which can accommodate around 100 students at the same time, and many classrooms . A special feature is that a solitaire from 1976 was integrated into this new building , although it is actually not at the right angle to the other buildings. Josef Paul Kleihues, however, succeeded in z. B. through the "round corner" on Schleupestrasse to integrate this solitaire harmoniously into the total work of art. The missing perpendicularity of the building from 1976 is visually clear through a triangular bed that extends the otherwise square structure of this courtyard on the north side of the inner courtyard.

On April 21, 2004, the first stumbling blocks were set in Rheine by the Cologne artist Gunter Demnig at the Dionysianum high school and the Emsland high school .
