The Helene-Lange-Realschule Heilbronn is a public secondary school in Heilbronn named after the women's rights activist Helene Lange and has existed since 1962. The school building on Weststrasse is located directly next to the Gustav-von-Schmoller-Schule .
Architecture and location
The school building from 1962 is a five-storey building with continuous window fronts facing Weststrasse. In the first drafts, the corridors were still facing Weststrasse, but due to aesthetic concerns of the city council, the classrooms were then facing Weststrasse. Today, this decision means strong sunlight and heating of the building in the early morning and high noise pollution from the busy four-lane Weststrasse.
At the turn of the millennium, the roofing of the entrance portal and the playground was implemented according to a contemporary architectural design by Bernd Zimmermann , who received the Good Buildings Award in 2002 , but is not undisputed. The horizontally structured concrete structure with generous glazing, similar to a self-supporting, rectangular frame, is located about one meter above the schoolyard level and is reached via an elongated ramp.
Several historical bells have been set up in the green spaces on the school premises. In addition to several project groups, the school also has a bell casting group.

An article in Heilbronner Voice dated March 17, 2006 with the title Prize for the Fashion Project describes an award-winning project in class 6a of the Helene-Lange-Realschule:
“ The jury of the Federal Agency for Civic Education was enthusiastic: Class 6a at Heilbronn's Helene-Lange-Realschule had not only done a lot of work with its contribution to the 2005 student competition. Her topic “How important are trends?” Spurred the sixth graders to great creativity. The effort has now been rewarded with a price. "The whole class was highly motivated and brought together a lot of information about fashion from then and now," says a delighted secondary school teacher Thomas Zimmermann. “As a preventive measure, we wanted to warn against excessive brand belief, because personality is shaped by clothing and is also evaluated by it. The pupils only now realized how important 'trendy' clothing is in order to be accepted by other young people or classmates. There seems to be a lot to the old saying 'clothes make the man'! ”To design their competition entry in the form of a wall newspaper, class 6a had used all the methods and information technology knowledge they had learned so far. The competition was huge, by the way. Over 60,000 young people in grades 5 to 11 from all over Germany took part in the 2005 school competition. (red) "
Arbitration House
The Friedrich Niethammer Foundation funded the construction of a dispute resolution house in the Helene Lange Realschule with a total of around 12,000 euros until 2005, which was built by the students and teachers themselves and was inaugurated in spring 2006. There trained mediators from the seventh to tenth grades should help their classmates to solve their problems and conflicts with other students in a constructive way. The dispute resolution house also serves as a meeting room for the student co-administration or as a place to meet parents or for project work.
Furthermore, the Frederick Day of the Helene-Lange-Realschule is financially supported, on which a literature and reading festival is celebrated at the Realschule and is intended to promote literature and reading.
Working groups
There are also various working groups. One of the working groups is the Eisenbahn-AG, which is supervised by a train driver as AG manager. There is also the Internet AG, which is responsible, among other things, for the design of the HELA homepage. Other working groups are the theater working group, musical working group, choir and orchestra working group, the environmental working group, the chess working group, the mum working group (cooking and baking group).
One of the most important working groups at the school is the Glockengießer AG, which existed from 2001 to 2009 as a student-teacher working group, researched the regional bell history and cast numerous bells with weights of up to 40 kg. The anniversary and peace bell, cast in cooperation with the Bachert bell foundry in 2002 , was presented to Prime Minister Erwin Teufel on the 50th birthday of the state of Baden-Württemberg . In addition, in 2003 and 2009 two bells were cast for schools in Adi Belsey and Adi Gulti in Eritrea . The former rector Norbert Jung accompanied the group, campaigned for the school's bell garden and museum, and presented numerous writings on the regional bell history.
