The Helmut-Schmidt-Gymnasium (abbreviated HSG ) is a state high school in the Hamburg district of Wilhelmsburg . Before it was named after Helmut Schmidt, the school was called Gymnasium Kirchdorf / Wilhelmsburg . The founding year 1901 is based on a previous school founded in Wilhelmsburg.

history

In 1901 a higher private school for boys and girls was founded in Wilhelmsburg at Lessingstrasse 93-97. In 1907 the school was expanded into the Wilhelmsburg secondary school, and in 1924 it was nationalized as a municipal reform secondary school and upper secondary school. In 1939 there was a separation into a high school for boys and a high school for girls. On March 27, 1945, the school building was partially destroyed in air raids. After the end of the war, the building was rebuilt. In 1957 the school became Wilhelmsburg grammar school.

The Kirchdorf-Süd high-rise estate was built from 1964 to accommodate Wilhelmsburg residents and needy families from other parts of the city who had become homeless due to the storm surge . In 1970 the Wilhelmsburg II grammar school was founded, which was later renamed the Kirchdorf grammar school. In 1985 the upper level of the Wilhelmsburg grammar school was transferred to the Kirchdorf grammar school. In 1987 the Wilhelmsburg grammar school was merged with the Kirchdorf grammar school and only continued at the location of the Kirchdorf grammar school. The previous school building in Lessingstrasse was taken over by the Wilhelmsburg comprehensive school. The new name of the merged grammar school was grammar school Kirchdorf / Wilhelmsburg , abbreviated "KiWi".

As at all Hamburg high schools, the eight-stage Abitur has been introduced since the 2002/2003 school year . In 2012 the high school was named after the former chancellor at a ceremony in the presence of Helmut Schmidt .

building

One of the buildings of the grammar school is a three-storey class house of type 68 (double-H) built in the 1970s, a series school building built more than 50 times in Hamburg.

As part of the IBA Hamburg , the school location was expanded and expanded until 2013 under the name “Gateway to the World”. The design by bof architects prevailed in an architecture competition. The new buildings took up the grammar school observation level of the grammar school, in addition there was a primary school, a speech therapy school and an education and counseling center. The existing buildings of the Helmut-Schmidt-Gymnasium were partially redesigned and renovated. New outdoor sports facilities, an economic center and a science center were built for the HSG.

School profile

The Helmut-Schmidt-Gymnasium is an open all-day school ; all-day care is tied to the observation level, i. H. Mandatory. The school is the only grammar school on the Elbe island of Wilhelmsburg. Due to this isolated location, the students at the grammar school come almost exclusively from the Hamburg districts of Wilhelmsburg and Veddel .

The Wilhelmsburg district is a traditional working-class district, which today has an above-average proportion of unemployed, welfare recipients and migrants. Many of the children enrolled in the fifth grade at the HSG have no recommendation for a grammar school , and by the end of the tenth grade around 60% leave school due to poor performance.

When collecting the social index for Hamburg schools in 2011, a social index of 2 was calculated for the HSG on a scale from 1 (disadvantageous requirements of the student body, highest need for support) to 6 (best conditions, no need for support). In the 2016/17 school year, 83% of HSG students had a migration background , more than twice the average of all Hamburg high schools.

At the HSG, four profiles are currently offered in the upper level , each of which includes the profile-giving subjects:

  • Faith and Science: Religion and PGW
  • Sustainability and the future: biology and geography
  • Science and Society: Physics and History
  • New media: art and PGW

Special features and partnerships

The HSG has been an environmental school in Europe without interruption since 2013 , just like about 50 other schools in Hamburg.

In 2019, the HSG was one of the schools that were recognized as “MINT-friendly” by the MINT Future Creation Association, as were 25 other secondary schools in Hamburg.

In 2018, the HSG became the first school in Hamburg to become Yad Vashem's partner school , a collaboration that exists with twelve other schools in Germany. Funded by the David Ben-Gurion Foundation in Germany , there has been a student exchange with Israel since 2019 .
