The state high school Hohenbaden is a humanistic high school and is located in the bathing district of Baden-Baden in Baden-Württemberg . About 40 teachers teach about 300 students at the school.

history

In 1870 the municipality had the school building built and the grammar school in its current form was founded as a school with an Abitur examination .

But the school's roots go back much further. As the first school in Baden-Baden to teach Latin , the Hohenbaden Gymnasium can trace its origins back to 1453, when a collegiate foundation with seminars was founded. This Latin school existed for about 200 years. At the beginning of the 19th century, a lyceum was opened in Baden , but it was moved to Rastatt in 1808 . From 1836 to 1870 there was only one higher middle school in Baden . This was expanded from 1870 to 1876 to a nine-year full high school.

One of the most important headmasters was Leo Wohleb , who later became President of Baden , who headed the grammar school during the Nazi era from 1934 to 1945. He succeeded in keeping the school and the students entrusted to him as far as possible from the influence of the National Socialists. A plaque donated to him in honor of the 1941 Abitur class describes him as "an upright pedagogue, an indomitable democrat and a courageous defender of humanistic ideals".

The school building is now a listed building . Most of the lessons still take place here today. In September 2011, the terrace for breaks, financed by donations, was built.

Since March 2015, the grammar school has had the title School without Racism - School with Courage .

Educational offer

The Hohenbaden high school is a humanistic high school with an old-language and modern-language profile and, since the 2003/2004 school year, with a natural science profile. Hohenbaden was the first school in Baden to introduce the Biberach model in the 1999/2000 school year . Since then, two foreign languages , Latin and English, have been taught in the fifth grade . In the 8th grade, you can choose between the subject natural science and technology, the subject French and the subject Ancient Greek.

The Hohenbaden Gymnasium is recognized as a European Gymnasium and gives students who have met the requirements a corresponding certificate with the Abitur certificate.

Since 2013, the grammar school has been the only school in Baden-Baden to have a so-called “ self-learning center” (SLZ) , which can be used by the school’s students and is also managed by them as SLZ mentors.

In music, the school is characterized by the Hohenbaden class orchestra model and a special implementation of the music mentoring program. In 2007 and 2014 these models were awarded nationwide.

International contacts

The grammar school has student exchanges with schools in Greece, France and Israel. The school community supports an educational project in Nepal across all classes.
