The Heinrich-von-Gagern-Gymnasium (short: HvGG ) is a humanistic or old-language high school with a modern language branch in Frankfurt am Main . The school is located on Bernhard-Grzimek-Allee in the Ostend district , across from the southern western wall of the Frankfurt Zoo . Around 1000 pupils are currently taught by around 80 teachers at the school.
history
When it was founded in 1888, the school was named after the then Emperor Friedrich III. Named Kaiser-Friedrichs-Gymnasium . The grammar school was founded mainly to relieve the urban grammar school that had existed since the 16th century; The latter was split up in 1897 into the old-language Lessing-Gymnasium , which still exists today, and the modern-language Goethe-Gymnasium , which also still exists . The frescoes by Wilhelm Steinhausen , completed and preserved in 1906, date back to the founding phase , a rare example of large-scale Art Nouveau painting in an auditorium. After the Second World War , the school was called the Staatliches Gymnasium Frankfurt am Main , before it was given its current name on the centenary of the opening of the Frankfurt National Assembly in the Paulskirche after Heinrich Freiherr von Gagern , President of the National Assembly. During the 1968 movement, the school attracted attention as a place of highly political action. Schoolchildren had ongoing conflicts with teachers on site, so that the police were called in several times and, despite the marked peacefulness on the part of the activists, there were violent evictions. Political polarity ebbed after the 1970s. The line is still clear, however, as the parties Die Linke and Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen always reaped over 60 percent in the 2015 to 2019 school elections.
In memory of Heinrich von Gagern, a school group created a sandstone sculpture that has been in the schoolyard since November 1998.
The modern extension that follows the old building replaces the Jewish Samson-Raphael-Hirsch school , which was demolished in 1960 and which has been remembered by bronze plaques since 1989 and 2001.
The school has been located on Bernhard-Grzimek-Allee since 2008 , the former western section of the street "Am Tiergarten" was renamed in honor of Bernhard Grzimek .

High School
The Heinrich-von-Gagern-Gymnasium offers the Abitur after the twelfth grade (G8). When it comes to the Abitur average, the grammar school is regularly in first place in the rankings in Frankfurt.
planetarium
In 1989, as part of a school project week, a planetarium with a dome size of 3.2 meters was designed and built. From this an astronomy group developed, which among other things rebuilt the planetarium in 1999. The stars are depicted using the hole projection method and are completely represented up to the 3rd magnitude , as well as some stars of the 4th magnitude. An additional projector for the planets was in work in May 2007.
Detlev Kittstein Hall
The new gym of the school, which was officially inaugurated in autumn 2007, was planned by the Frankfurt architect Zvonko Turkali . For reasons of space, the building combines two gyms on top of each other. While the upper hall receives daylight thanks to a skylight construction, the lower hall is opened by a glass front. A pattern on a wall in the stairwell symbolizes the chestnut in the schoolyard. The gym bears the name of the former national hockey player Detlev Kittstein , who graduated from high school in 1967 and was a sports teacher at the school from 1969 until his death in 1996. He was a member of the German national field hockey team , with which he became European champion in 1970 and Olympic champion in 1972.
Orchestra and choir
At Heinrich-von-Gagern-Gymnasium there is a “small”, “medium” and “large orchestra”, a lower school choir for grades 5 and 6, a mixed choir, a teacher choir as well as various jazz formations and several big bands. The pre-Christmas music-making for charitable purposes in the B-level of the Hauptwache public transport station has a tradition of over 25 years .
Working groups (AGs)
In addition to the musical focus, the school offers numerous other working groups in the areas of languages, astronomy, photography, computer science, physics, sports and a school medical service. The theater group, headed by Hans-Martin Scholder , regularly performs classical material in (post-) modern staging.
Alumni and Friends Association
The association of alumni and friends of the Heinrich-von-Gagern-Gymnasium (formerly Kaiser-Friedrichs-Gymnasium) eV was founded in 1906 and is now an integral part of the school. In 2006, the Mayor Petra Roth was the guest of honor and numerous members were present to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the association.
The association has more than 650 members. These are high school graduates (1924 to today), former teachers and other friends of the Heinrich-von-Gagern-Gymnasium and the former Kaiser-Friedrichs-Gymnasium, some of whom live scattered throughout the Federal Republic of Germany and abroad. For its members, the association organizes regular museum tours, lectures, a day for alumni and hikes together. In the club's journal, which appears four times a year, the club provides information about its activities and the latest news at the Heinrich-von-Gagern-Gymnasium. The association is co-editor of the school's annual report. Through the financial support of the Alumni Association, various large-scale projects at Heinrich-von-Gagern-Gymnasium have been made possible over the years.
