The Hechingen grammar school is a grammar school in Hechingen in Baden-Württemberg . In 1841 a private evening secondary school for tradespeople was founded, which was later converted several times and finally merged in 1909 in the Königlichen Reformrealgymnasium Hechingen.
history
The history of the grammar school goes back to the late 18th century. Josef Friedrich Wilhelm Prince of Hohenzollern-Hechingen founded a grammar school in 1775 in the office across from Friedrichsburg. The teachers at this school were Franciscans from the Sankt Luzen monastery . The prince introduced compulsory schooling in 1781 and waived school fees for both local and foreign students.
His successor, Prince Hermann , dissolved the grammar school in his first year in 1798. After almost half a century, the Hechingen teachers Valentin Kohler and Konrad Sauter founded a private evening secondary school for tradespeople in 1841. Konrad Sauter was also one of the co-founders of the first gymnastics club in Hechingen, which, however, was dissolved again due to his death in 1868.
After Prince Constantine abdicated in 1848, the Prussian state took over a large part of the financing. However, maintenance costs stuck with the city. For reasons of cost, many secondary teachers were employed in addition to the trained teachers, such as B. the owner of the print shop or the boss of Foto Keidel. The school was elevated to a secondary school in 1844 with the support of the city . After a further year, the school was elevated to a state secondary and preparatory school for the grammar school . As the Royal Prussian Realschule, it moved to Schrannengasse in 1857. In 1861/63 it was renamed the Higher Citizens School or the Royal Higher Citizens School , which from 1873 was housed in what is now the building authority. In 1892 it was renamed the Royal Realschule . The secondary school for girls was spun off in Schrannengasse. The vocational schools of the Hechingen district were later housed in Schrannengasse .
On May 5, 1905, the contract for the construction of a school building on the Lichtenau was decided. In advance, the city had already acquired large parts of the pension park for a planned city expansion. The city contributed with 300,000 gold marks . It was one of the city's last major projects before the city's treasury broke. After the laying of the foundation stone in 1907, the building, which still exists today, with nine classrooms, including a modern chemistry, physics and drawing room, was inaugurated on September 18, 1909 with a ceremony. In the post-war period , from 1945 to 1948, the school building was used by the French army. In 1974, the grammar school passed into municipal sponsorship. The annex to the main building was energetically renovated and a cafeteria was set up. In January 2011 the new Dreifelderhalle Lichtenauhalle was inaugurated.
