history

1904-1923

The 1904 by the Association women's education woman study four years based real grammar courses to prepare for the high school for women and girls were the predecessors of today's school. At that time, Prussia , to which Kassel was a part, had no higher educational qualifications for young women. The association was inspired, among other things, by the bourgeois women's movement represented by Helene Lange , which campaigned for equality of educational opportunities on the way to equal rights for men and women.

After a reform of the school system had been carried out in Prussia in 1908, the courses were transferred in 1909 to the municipal college for the secondary school in Cassel . This year is considered the school's founding year. It was the first girls' high school in the Kassel administrative district of the Hesse-Nassau province , was housed in the old town hall and was headed by Professor Alexander Kratsch. Among other things, the school was characterized by the participation of parents and self-administration of the students; this went so far that the pupils discussed the curricula with the teachers. The first Abitur was passed in 1911 . In the same year the first schoolgirl rowing club in the German Empire was founded at the school .

When the Kassel workers 'and soldiers' council moved into the school building in 1919, the school was temporarily housed in the Luisenschule.

1923-1933

In 1923 the school was merged with the “Kästner Lyceum”, a secondary school for girls named in honor of its long-time director Julie von Kästner , and renamed the Lyceum with a college . This year, 440 female students were taught by 28 teachers. In 1928 Franz Becker , a prominent representative of the German People's Party , was appointed headmaster to succeed Prof. Kratsch; he remained in office until 1945.

In 1930 the school passed into the sponsorship of the Prussian state and moved into the school building on the Goethe plant, newly built by the city and planned by Heinrich Tessenow . On the occasion of the move into the new school building, the school was named after the writer Malwida von Meysenbug . In the previous discussions on naming, Helene Lange and Gertrud Bäumer were also discussed as further representatives of the women's movement.

Of the approximately 400 high school graduates in the 1912–1932 school year, around 16% aspired to study medicine , roughly the same number of students in the humanities and 8% in the natural sciences . Otherwise the social professions dominated the career choice .

1933-1945

With the takeover of power by the National Socialists , a lot also changed at the school, including the behavior of many female pupils towards Jewish pupils. The Jewish classmates were able to take the Abitur for the last time in 1934. Parents, pupils and teachers were abolished as early as 1934. In 1934 around 60% of the students at the Malwida-von-Meysenbug School were organized with the young girls or with the Association of German Girls , in 1936 it was 92.65%. For this high level of organization, the school was awarded the HJ flag on August 28, 1936 .

The rowing club was practically dissolved in 1937; the boats and the boathouse previously owned by the school became state property and rowing became compulsory in physical education. In 1938, with the National Socialist school reform, a housekeeping branch of the upper level was set up, school hours were shortened by one year and English was made the first compulsory foreign language . From 1939 onwards, school operations increasingly suffered due to the entry of a military authority into the building, the calling up of teachers for military service and the many auxiliary services that the students had to do.

On 1 January 1940 the Malwida-Meysenbug-school-named after the composer Heinrich Schütz in Heinrich Schütz School renamed because the previous name for the ruler was no longer acceptable.

After the bombing night on 22./23. In October 1943 the school was relocated to Bad Wildungen as part of the children's area.

Since 1945

After the Second World War , the almost intact school building except for the south wing was confiscated by the American occupation authorities . In 1947 the auditorium was still being used as a Liberty cinema and the gym as a car hall by the occupation authorities. The cinema was later also opened to the public. A total of 83 percent of the classrooms in Kassel were destroyed during the Second World War.

Schools were resumed on November 1, 1945, with the approval of the military government, and were held in barracks in other schools, inns and private apartments; The start of schooling was officially set for January 31, 1946. The first director of the school, now known as the “state secondary school for girls”, was Dr. Pröbsting. It was not until 1947 that lessons took place again in the original school buildings at the Goethe facility. The following years were also characterized by a lack of space. Dr. Pröbsting was founded in 1948 by Dr. Rabeler was replaced as headmaster and again appointed headmaster in 1950. It was not until 1951 that the bomb hole in the south wing was closed again. Until 1959, the school buildings were shared by the Jacob-Grimm-Schule , Herderschule , Friedrichsgymnasium , the Pedagogical Institute, the State Works Academy and a boys' middle school . The Jacob-Grimm School was housed on the ground floor until 1954, the Heinrich Schütz School on the first floor. In 1953 there were already over 1000 female pupils at the school.

With the departure of the headmaster Pröbsting in 1963, Kurt Franke took over this position, who worked as a study assessor at the school in 1939. In 1964, an upper school class for secondary school graduates was opened, and in 1966 the school was converted into a coeducational school. In 1967 the business high school of the Friedrich List School was integrated into the upper level of the Heinrich Schütz School. Although a new extension was inaugurated in 1975, from 1977 to 1983 a “branch” had to be operated in JF-Kennedy-Strasse in Kassel- Harleshausen due to lack of space , in which classes 5 to 7 were taught. In 1979 an internship was introduced for grade 9; In the same year the cooperation with the school camp in Niedenstein began .

The further development of the school system in Kassel has been discussed since the late 1960s. A system of level schools was used here. On February 7, 1972, the Kassel city council passed the corresponding framework plan for school development . For the Heinrich Schütz School, this plan meant the loss of the upper level and the conversion to a middle school (secondary level I).

Dream ship Tante Olga by the artist Anatol Herzfeld

As part of Documenta 6 was that of Anatol Herzfeld made of polyester and reminiscent of a folded paper boat "dreamboat Aunt Olga" at the Heinrich Schütz School in 1977 set up .

After the decision had been taken not to continue the upper level, the first pupils left the school after the 10th grade in 1981 to continue their school career at the Jacob-Grimm-Schule. The last Abitur was taken in 1983, from the 1983/84 school year only grades 5 to 9 existed. In 1986 the school was then converted into a comprehensive school based on a decree by the Hessian minister of education. Already in the 1986/87 school year the first level of support was set up .

Further changes followed from 1997. A third music lesson per week was introduced for interested and talented pupils from year 5 upwards, whereupon the school was given the designation “School with a focus on music” by the Ministry of Culture in November 2002. The support level was dissolved again in 1997, and the school was now a school type-related comprehensive school from year 5 onwards, in which classes from year 5 in the three school branches took place. From 2005, educational lunchtime care was offered. Working groups and lunches were set up. In the 2008/09 school year, the nine-year grammar school course (G9) was reintroduced. In 2009 the school celebrated its 100th anniversary.

As the first school in Hesse, the school has Parkour modules purchased for physical education and offers a Parkour AG on.

Recalling Malwida von Meysenbug

In 1956, the school community decided to keep the name Heinrich Schütz School given by the Nazis in 1940 . Only with the completion of a new school wing as the Malwida von Meysenbug wing in 2011 did the school remember the writer again. The wing was built from 2009 to 2011 next to the new canteen. It offers 13 subject classes , mainly natural sciences and music , on 2300 m² . Furthermore, the renovation of the old building was carried out. The investments totaled ten million euros.

Extracurricular activities

The school takes part in numerous competitions with its rowing teams. Some of their boats also qualified for the German School Championships in several classes. At the German rowing championships of schools in 1970, the school was the most successful with three first, one second and one third place. Most recently, the gig foursome reached third place at the Hessian school championships.

The school's big band has numerous public appearances, also outside of school, for example at the first open day of the Federal Social Court in Kassel.

Support association

In the school year 1929/30 the "Association of Friends" was founded as a support association of the Lyceum and the Kassel college.
