The Helmholtz-Gymnasium ( HGDO for short ) is a municipal high school in the north of Dortmund . It was founded in 1904 as a secondary school under development and has been located on Münsterstrasse ever since .
history
On April 21, 1904, today's Helmholtz-Gymnasium started operations as a secondary school under development , provisionally at Münsterstrasse 158. A year later, on February 21, 1905, the magistrate approved the construction of a secondary school and director's apartment on Münsterstrasse. In spring 1907 a new building was built at the current location of the main building (Münsterstraße 122) as a secondary school in the north and the new school year began on April 16, when the school was inaugurated. The school was assigned pupils who lived “north of the Cologne-Mindener Eisenbahn ” (ie today's Nordstadt), but also non-residents. In 1908 the Realschule under development became a Realschule, and in 1910 the expansion into a Realgymnasium began. In 1917 the school was called Hindenburg-Realgymnasium.
The school continued to grow; around 1927/28 the main building was expanded to include a two-story extension.
After the seizure of power by the Nazis in 1933, the swastika flag was hoisted and the school in Hindenburg High School renamed.
During the Second World War , on June 4, 1943, the school was relocated to Piešťany in Slovakia due to constant air raids as part of the “Kinderlandverschickung” . In January 1944 it went for ten months to Rastatt in what is now Baden-Württemberg , then via Freudenstadt to Burgau near Ulm . American soldiers took the place on April 24, 1945.
The school building was destroyed, but the main part stood. In August 1945 the city of Dortmund merged the Hindenburg High School and the Ludendorff High School to form the Helmholtz Gymnasium.
On April 21, 1954, the school celebrated its 50th birthday.
In 1968/69 the extension in Haydnstrasse was given a further floor. In 1973 the school became a community high school, which means that the school accepted the first girls in the entrance classes. From then on there was also a cooperation with the Helene-Lange-Gymnasium.
In 1979 the facade was renovated. As the school continued to grow, new rooms had to be built. A year later, so-called “mobile classes”, consisting of eight rooms, were set up.
In 1988 a computer science room was opened. Ten years later, in 1998, another computer room was added and a third was built in the new building in 2007. Since then there has been access to the Internet in the self-study center. In 1995/96, the extension on Haydnstrasse received another extension with specialist rooms for biology and physics lessons.
In 1998 the Helmholtz-Gymnasium became one of the five project schools in Dortmund that were designated as a media base as part of the Schools on the Net project . Since then, all students have been introduced to working with computers, including an age-appropriate course in the fifth grade on mastering the keyboard using the ten-finger technique, as well as Internet research and use of Microsoft PowerPoint and Excel .
In 2001 a school partnership was established with the Horea School in Cluj-Napoca in Romania . The first mutual visits took place in the summer and autumn of 2002. In the same year there was the start of the 13 plus care program for pupils in the 5th and 6th grades with different leisure activities such as dance, drama, juggling, artistry, music, computer applications and group games. The bilingual course in the German-English bilingual branch started in 2003/04.
On April 21, 2004 the school celebrated its 100th anniversary.
On June 30, 2005, the Dortmund City Council decided to convert and expand the former North Library for use by the Helmholtz grammar school.
On September 21, 2007, the then mayor Gerhard Langemeyer handed over the new building to the Helmholtz high school for use.
August 2007 the wall painting on the northern facade was completed. The design emerged from a pupil painting competition.
