The high school at Moltkeplatz , known colloquially as "Moltke", in the Cracau district of Krefeld was founded in 1819 and is a municipal high school for boys and girls.
history
The first Latin school in Krefeld, which dates back to the 17th century, is part of the history of the city's oldest grammar school . The founding date of the higher city school initiated by the Reformed Protestant community is October 1, 1819, when the first schoolhouse, the former sub-prefecture building, was moved into when the first schoolhouse, the former sub-prefecture building, was “without a sound”. The initiators were about 30 wealthy Krefeld families. The district administrator refused to finance the school from public funds and thus make it available as a facility for everyone, remarking that “the poor (would rather bring) their children to the desk than to the school desk ... and to tax themselves for the good of the school , the wealthy citizens are not at all inclined ”. The necessary funds have now been raised by the "Scheuten Foundation" established by the tobacco trader and privateer Adolf Wilhelm Scheuten in an appropriate interpretation of the will . In 1860 the foundation school was taken over as the municipal secondary school and developed into a secondary school . In 1926 the institution became the Realreformgymnasium . After 1933 the school was renamed the “Schäfer-Voss-Schule” after two Krefeld “ flying races ” from the First World War and former students, Emil Schäfer and Werner Voss , in accordance with National Socialism . After the end of National Socialism, it lost this name again and was given the current school name. The school profile was now that of a modern-language grammar school with an old-language branch.
architecture
The grammar school has been located in a symmetrical old building in the style of moderate classicism since 1915 , which offers enough space due to the architecture and is one of the most interesting buildings in the city. The building was designed by August Biebricher . The allegorical statues above the portal were created by the sculptor Peter Stammen . During the Second World War, the east wing of the school building was badly damaged on the night of October 2, 1942. Today the building is a listed building.

"Moltke for Africa" (MfA)
In 1998 the pupils founded the working group “Moltke for Africa”, in which pupils, teachers and parents get involved with fundraising within the framework of the Ethiopia aid “ People for People ” by Karlheinz Böhm . The “Moltke School for Africa” is being built there in the east of the country. The necessary sum of 50,000 euros has already been collected. In the meantime, over 100,607 euros have been collected for various aid projects.
Originally, Karlheinz Böhm attended school in 1992 and spoke about the grievances between rich and poor. In 2000 his wife Almaz Böhm visited the working group founded in 1998 for the first time and again in December 2004, this time together with her husband. In 2005, today's association “Moltke-Schüler für Afrika eV” emerged from the working group.
