The building erected by Gunkel for the grammar school

The grammar school Philippinum Weilburg is a grammar school in Weilburg . It is one of the oldest still existing high schools in Hessen.

history

Originally founded as a Latin school in 1540 , the facility was elevated to the Philippinum Weilburg grammar school in 1764. In 1780 the company moved to the newly built school building in downtown Weilburg. The representative building was designed in 1776 by Friedrich Ludwig Gunkel in the Louis-seize style.

The grammar school Philippinum got its name from Philip III. from Nassau-Weilburg , which it has only officially been wearing since 1950. Girls were first admitted to school in the 1920s. The building now bears the name of the old grammar school and has been home to the Weilburg district and city library since 1967.

After the premises in the Weilburg city center were no longer suitable for the requirements of modern school operations, a new building including a sports hall was built on the outskirts in Lessingstrasse, which was moved into in 1965. In the 1970s, an additional pavilion was built as the new building also increasingly suffered from a lack of space. The new building ("Spielmannbau") built east of the Philippine in the early 1980s, originally intended for the Christian Spielmann Elementary School, was attached to the Philippinum immediately after completion. Since 1982, grades 5 and 6 had been transferred to the neighboring Heinrich von Gagern School. In 1995 the pavilion was demolished and a new two-storey building was built for the cohorts outsourced to the Gagern School. Since 2009, the building has been completely renovated and a building for the natural sciences and the canteen have been added.

Working groups and extracurricular activities

In addition to regular school operations, there are also a number of extracurricular working groups (AGs). In addition to the Bio-AG, which among other things operates a beekeeping, there is, for example, the Homepage-AG or the Philippinum-Orchester, which won 2nd prize in the 2nd Hessian School Orchestra Competition in May 2013.

In addition to three television appearances, the senior and alumni choir of the Philippine has already performed in the regular program at the Conservatory in Luxembourg .

For a number of years there has also been an AG that takes part in the school competition of the European Youth Parliament in Germany every year . In 2013, the school also hosted one of the Youth Parliament events.
