history

The founding dates of the Rector's School Limburg and thus the school are June 17, 1852 (recognition of the school by the royal government in Arnsberg ) and August 12, 1852 (opening of the school and inauguration of Peter Habbecke as rector).

Rector's School (1852–1880)

With a changing student body (between 20 and 40, mostly around 25), the school had to be content with two rented rooms in the Protestant elementary school (today: old vocational school on Obere Isenbergstrasse). The financing came largely from the income of a foundation and school fees; the two municipalities of Elsey and Limburg an der Lenne only paid a contribution to the teacher's salary. The school principal was Peter Habbecke during the entire time. A second teaching post was not created until 1864. In 1874 the Board of Trustees issued stricter regulations on entry age (10 years) and the duration of school attendance (4 years); the school fee regulations issued in 1879 were not modified until 1908. From 1852 to Easter 1880 a total of approx. 400 students at this school.

Higher city school (1880–1922)

The city became a school sponsor in 1880 and erected the school building on Moltkestrasse (today's Gumprechtstrasse) in 1882/83. The school comprised five grades from sixth to upper secondary ; only after a final exam students could then in a Untersekunda a secondary school in Iserlohn change or Hagen. Since 1904, two types of school have been run at the city school, the secondary school branch and the secondary school . After the girls' classes were outsourced in 1887, the number of pupils temporarily fell below 90 and only rose to around 150 during the war. Since 1904, the school has had 6 teaching positions. Headmasters were Dr. Karl Grosse (1880–1898) and Oskar Joecke (1899–1921).

Municipal secondary school (1922–1938)

In 1920 the city council decided to expand the school into a secondary school, but negotiations and approval procedures dragged on until 1922. At Easter 1922 the curriculum was changed, at Easter 1923 it was increased with a sub-second. The number of pupils fell to around 140 at the end of the 1920s, but increased again to around 140 when the girls' school was closed in 1931 (and co-education was introduced at the Realschule). 180. The headmaster was Dr. Karl Büchsenschütz; Büchsenschütz was also the driving force behind the conversion of the secondary school into a high school , which the city council applied for to the head president in Münster in 1937 . In the years 1924 to 1938 a total of 398 students (93 of them girls) received the certificate of secondary school leaving certificate .

1938

As part of the Nazi school reform, the school became a German secondary school for boys, which girls were also allowed to attend with special permission in small towns. The first class in Hohenlimburg passed their final exams in March 1941 . In 1939/40 the large extension was built on Kaiserstraße. The new headmaster, Dr. Erich Schwender, from 1939 on, subjected the school to an even more intensive orientation towards Nazi ideology . The number of students rose to almost 400 by the winter of 1945 due to the influx from Hagen (150 of them were girls). The Hohenlimburg secondary school students had been attending the secondary school in Letmathe since 1938 , while the Hohenlimburg secondary school was now an offer school for Letmath secondary school students, who until 1966 made up around ¼ of the student body. After a one-year break, the school reopened on March 1, 1946. The new headmaster was appointed after Dr. Schwender Hugo Vieler. The school started out with 350 pupils, but as the number of pupils increased, a two-class system had to be gradually built up (1955: 560 pupils).

1950

The typing of the grammar schools operated by the Ministry of Culture led to the decision to run the Hohenlimburg grammar school as a mathematical and scientific grammar school with a modern language branch . The new headmaster was Helmut Titgemeyer in 1957 and Helmut Lingen in 1969. Because of the rapidly increasing number of pupils, a large extension was built on the west side of the school grounds in 1961-63, so that the grammar school could now set up three classes per year. A few years later, the transition to four-part was made.

Since 1975

Renaming to Hohenlimburg high school , high school of the city of Hagen for boys and girls (background: municipal reform 1975 and upper level reform 1973 ). The educational reforms introduced in West Germany in the 1960s increased the number of pupils at the Hohenlimburg grammar school from 640 (1969) to 1067 (1981). At the old location, however, an expansion of the school could no longer be approved, as no adequate expansion would have been possible even if neighboring properties had been purchased (including a gym, playground). The decision to move the school to Elsey in 1971 was delayed, among other things, by local government reform. Today's main building was not erected until 1981–1983, designed for a maximum of 600 students, so that the lower grades (levels 5–8) remained at the old location until 1998. Only the outbuildings built in 1994/95 (as part of the renovation of the Im Kley primary school) made it possible in 1998 to finally merge the school at the new location in Elsey.

By 1975 a total of 795 students had passed the Abitur examination; by 2001 the number of high school graduates had risen to almost 3,000.

After H. Lingen's retirement, Arnold a Campo was headmaster from 1990 to 2007. Horst Witthüser then became headmaster, followed by Britta Auerbach, and Gabriele Klubmann was the deputy until the 2016/17 school year. Matthias Dickel is her successor. Currently (February 2020) there are 62 teachers and four trainee lawyers at the school.

The school newspaper Greenlionz has been around since November 2017 .
