The Hans-Carossa-Gymnasium (HCG) in Landshut is a linguistic (SG) and humanistic (HG) named after the doctor and poet Hans Carossa and, since September 2011, has also been a natural science-technological high school (NTG). The school buildings are located in the city center of Landshut in the Freyung. In the 2013/2014 school year, 849 students, divided into 24 school classes, attended the traditional school. The number of pupils decreased to 745 in the 2015/2016 school year, and in the following school year there was a further decrease to 712 pupils. 81 students had registered for the 2019/2020 school year, the number of students in the 2018/2019 school year was 683.

history

The later Hans-Carossa-Gymnasium was founded in 1629 by the Jesuits , who accepted 100 students from the parish school of St. Martin into the gymnasium before teaching. Classes were initially held in the Rätzsteinisches Haus (“first day of school” was October 24, 1629), but after a very short time it turned out to be too small and the school was moved to a house on the Nahensteig. A year later, in 1630, the school had 250 boys.

The Thirty Years War did not leave the grammar school in Landshut untouched either. In total, the city was occupied by enemy troops three times (1632, 1634 and 1648). Frequent and long-lasting lessons were canceled. The Jesuit college was also attacked and looted.

In the 1770s the Jesuit order was abolished. The cause were the school reforms of Max III. Josephs , who had taken over the government in Bavaria as an enlightened absolutist in 1745 . However, the grammar school continued to exist until 1813 when it was completely dissolved. The school was re-established as early as 1821. In 1839 the school moved to the Franciscan convent in Landshut , which had long since been closed , and where it is still located today. Since then, more buildings have been added. In 1961 the grammar school was renamed "Hans-Carossa-Gymnasium" in honor of the institution's former student, the writer and doctor Hans Carossa .

From 1999 to 2002 the school offered a third branch as part of the European Gymnasium trial, which the majority of students in these four years chose. The school trial ended with the entry of the 2002 class into upper secondary school in autumn 2009.

In 2004 the Hans-Carossa-Gymnasium celebrated its 375th anniversary, in the same year as the 800th anniversary of Landshut, on the occasion of which the Holy Cross Church, which had been used as an auditorium for decades, was restored.

development

In 2008, initial considerations were made to set up a further branch, which would make an extension necessary. This expansion is necessary because of the increasing number of students, as the Hans-Leinberger-Gymnasium is already reaching its capacity limits despite its new extension. However , the proposal was rejected by a majority vote of the school forum .

At the beginning of 2009, the district council of the Landshut district spoke out against building a new high school. The citizens' initiative “Pro Gymnasium” was formed, which on June 7, 2009 brought about a referendum in favor of the construction of a new high school. This was built as the Ergolding grammar school and started operations on September 12, 2013.

In the middle of July, the school forum of the grammar school decided to apply for the establishment of a scientific-technological and a musical branch in order to ensure the long-term maintenance of the school and to relieve the burden on other grammar schools. However, Latin should be retained as the first foreign language. This decision was confirmed in the school forum meeting on October 21, 2009. An official application was then made to include the branches mentioned.

In August 2010, the Bavarian Ministry of Culture approved the establishment of a scientific and technological branch from the 2011/12 school year, a musical branch was rejected.

Comprehensive renovation measures began in September 2010. Since September 2012, the school has had an extensively refurbished main building that meets modern educational requirements. A renovation of the natural science departments, which has become necessary due to the branch expansion, is imminent.

In August 2015, the renovation of the natural science wing began, which will take five years and cost around nine million euros. The renovation of the gym, which cost around 750,000 euros, has also started and is scheduled to be restarted in 2016.

"Ca'Rossini" bistro

Since 2007 the school has had a bistro, which enables the students and teachers to enjoy a warm lunch consisting of meat and pasta dishes and a pastry, salad and dessert. In addition, the guests of the bistro get free water. The number of meals has now grown to 120–150 per day (on busy days with afternoon classes).

Internet radio "LA Wave"

HCG students have been running a school radio since 2003. Until 2011, the format consisted of individual programs during the breaks with larger individual contributions. In the nationwide “Tatfunk” competition, they took first place three times. It has been organized as part of a P seminar since 2012. Since March 2013 it has been registered as an internet radio with the name "LA Wave" (www.la-wave.de) and is online with the "wavesession" on Wednesdays between 6 and 7 pm.
