The High School High air is a 2012 founded School in Hamburg district Hoheluft-West . The old building on Christian-Förster-Strasse was built in 1907 as a girls 'and boys' school based on designs by Albert Erbe and is now a listed building . A new building with classrooms and a double gym was added in 2014.

history

The old building used by the grammar school was built in 1907 as a primary school on Alsenstraße based on designs by Albert Erbe . Today the old building is a listed building . In the Alsenstrasse school, girls and boys in grades 1-7 were taught separately from 1908 onwards, so there were two headmasters and two colleges. The gender division of the school can still be seen on the facade facing Christian-Förster-Strasse, the left (southern) wing bears the inscription “Boys 'School” in a medallion on the facade, the right (northern) wing correspondingly “Girls' School”.

In the summer of 1943, school operations were stopped after bombing raids , and bombed-out people were housed in the school. In 1945 school operations were resumed. In 1948, Alsenstrasse, named after the Battle of Alsen , was renamed Christian-Förster-Strasse, and accordingly it was renamed School Christian-Förster-Strasse . From 1948 onwards, lessons were given jointly for boys and girls. In 1969 the upper school was discontinued and the school became a primary school with a subsequent observation stage. In 1982 the observation stage was discontinued. In 2007, the primary school location was given up due to a lack of pupil numbers, and the building was used by various school authorities such as LI Hamburg and REBUS Hamburg.

In 2011 the first planning for a new grammar school in Eimsbüttel became public, where capacities were lacking. The almost empty old building on Christian-Förster-Strasse was discussed. The rooms and corridors of the listed building were extensively renovated and rebuilt for the new school operation of the lower level, the costs for this amounted to 3 million euros. The high school Hoheluft started school in autumn 2012 with three 5th grades. This was the first establishment of a grammar school in Hamburg since 1995.

New building and school yard

From 2014 to 2015, an L-shaped new building was realized on the school premises behind the old building (towards Troplowitzstraße), which contains classrooms for grades 8-12, specialist cabinets, auditorium , all-day area with kitchen, and two double sports halls. This extension encloses the break area between the old and the new building. The new building, which cost 17.3 million euros, was awarded the “Building of the Year” award in 2015 by the Hamburg Architects and Engineers Association (AIV) as one of three projects.

profile

The Hoheluft high school is an all-day school . The core lesson time is from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. The range of courses is rounded off by working groups, inclination courses and other offers. The main focus of the Hoheluft high school lies in the field of natural science and technology (NaT) as well as in the field of economics, law and politics (PGW).

In grades 5–7, the day of instruction starts with a period of independent work (eva). Here work plan tasks from the main subjects (German, math, English, second foreign language) are largely processed independently, with various differentiation forms being offered. There is no homework in the traditional sense at school.

The language profile is oriented towards the modern language with English (from grade 5) and Spanish or French (from grade 6). Practical relevance in foreign language acquisition is promoted through bilingual modules, i. H. individual subjects from subjects such as geography, biology or history are taught in English.

According to the school focus, interested students with talents in the natural sciences are encouraged in courses. There is the possibility of participating in competitions such as Jugend forscht / Schüler experimentieren , NatEx, the federal competitions of the MINT subjects (mathematics, computer science, natural sciences, technology) etc. Also participation in the mathematics Olympics , the kangaroo competition and similar mathematical ones Competitions are supported and promoted.
