The Hennebergisches Gymnasium "Georg Ernst" (HGS) is a state high school in Schleusingen , Thuringia. Founded in June 1577 by Georg Ernst (Henneberg-Schleusingen) , it is one of the oldest grammar schools in Germany. The school is committed to humanism , but has been teaching the STEM subjects since 2002 . A privately owned alumnate is affiliated .

history

The school building towards the end of the 19th century.

In the year 1446 a school under church responsibility is mentioned for the first time in Schleusingen. Both students and teachers had jobs to do on behalf of the city and the church. A Latin school has been established since 1502 . In 1508 the count educator Johann Jäger was named as the first schoolmaster in a document. After the Reformation , the school moved (probably in 1556) to the building of the Barfüßerkloster in Klosterstrasse, the location of today's grammar school. The last ruling Count of Henneberg , Georg Ernst, issued school regulations in 1560 that made the city school a princely state school. In addition, at the beginning of June 1569 he laid down a curriculum according to which, in addition to the Artes Liberales, the Christian religion according to the Augsburg confession should be taught. Two exams were to be held each year. Finally, in 1577, he founded the Schleusinger Gymnasium from the public Latin school.

Above the cellar entrance is the oldest stone of the main building in the archway, on which the inscription " illustrious gymn " and the year 1715 can be seen. In the sixteenth century it was common to refer to a school that provided a full humanistic course as "illustrious". It could correspond to the courses offered by the lower faculty of a university.

Founding of the alumnate (boarding school)

Count Georg Ernst, the founder of the Henneberg High School

Immediately after the grammar school was founded, Georg Ernst also founded a "nursing and educational institution at the grammar school", which was opened as a community on October 14, 1577 with 30 students . Georg Ernst took the support of children and young people from poorer classes into his hands. There were also scholarships that enabled the graduates to attend university.

A large room in the former monastery served as a communal apartment. Special laws were introduced to regulate coexistence. These “Leges speciales”, the oldest house rules of the school, remained unchanged for the entire first century of the school's existence.

Many graduates of the grammar school then studied in Leipzig . After a few decades the grammar school had acquired an extraordinary reputation from many able and hardworking students that around 1616 a Leipzig professor coined the saying: "Haud fumos vendit Schleusinga - Schleusingen does not sell smoke". Due to a lack of money in the responsible country school box, the community had to be closed for seven years in 1637 and then initially only served to provide food for the students. In the Thirty Years' War (1618–1648) much had fallen apart and had to be rebuilt.

Andreas Reyher as rector (1632–1639)

The rectorate of Andreas Reyhers in the middle of the Thirty Years War fell into a difficult phase of the school's existence. His work at the grammar school was decisive for his pedagogical attitude in the following years in Gotha, which made him a well-known personality in Thuringian education and school history.

The war also had an impact on the county of Henneberg: the plague, epidemics, famine and the increasing lack of contributions to the rural school fund due to the inability of the county's offices made it difficult not only for the parents of the pupils but also for the grammar school itself to raise the costs . Nevertheless, Reyher wanted to reform the teaching method and published his own writings on school practice. Greek grammar, arithmetic and geometry particularly enriched school life. Furthermore, he renewed the school laws and promoted theatrical performances as well as the integration of educational approaches by Comenius , Ratke and his students Helwig and Evenius . This can be found in a book on pedagogy with the title “Palaeomathia” printed in Schleusingen. In Reyer's view, humanity, wisdom, justice, and knowledge give a teacher dignity and authority. He should be mindful of the progress of every student, rich or poor. Andreas Reyher was in regular correspondence with scholars of his time and was also mentioned by name in a letter from Comenius to his university teacher (1633). At an early stage he was turning to pedagogical realism, which in the following years shifted to the foreground. An example of this is his text “Kurtzer Lessons from Natural Things”, which contains subjects relating to natural sciences.

After the division of the Ernestine Lands in 1640, Reyher was recalled by Duke Ernst the Pious as organizer of the Saxon-Gotha school system and rector of the royal seat there.

By the end of the 19th century

With the administrative reform for the joint administration of the town of Schleusingen by Saxon princes, the school was run as the "Community Hennebergisches Gymnasium". Poverty dominated the country and did not leave the school alone. Despite little teaching material and small numbers of pupils, the grammar school and alumni were able to assert themselves through the 18th century and maintain the reputation of the “illustrious grammar school”.

The most important teacher at the beginning of the 18th century was Christian Juncker . For almost twelve years he worked as vice-principal at the grammar school. Political regimes and the division of the country favored a poor financial situation of the grammar school in the years 1815 to 1840. It was not until 1841 that Saxony-Meiningen renounced the co-administration and the vacancies in the alumnate that the school was named the "Royal Prussian Hennebergische grammar school and alumnate". This designation was used until 1918. Since classes were still being held in the building from 1502, but the structural condition of the building had deteriorated enormously over the years, the foundation stone for the large grammar school building was laid on September 10, 1870. Previously, in that space was Teutsche school in the street Suhler translocated Service. At the beginning of May 1874, the students moved into the new building called the "Kasten".

German Empire and Weimar Republic

At the beginning of the 20th century, political developments increasingly determined teaching and everyday school life. The school year began after the Easter break in April, special highlights in the school year were the Sedan Festival , the ceremony for Luther's birthday, the Eccefeier (celebration of the dead) and the celebration of the Emperor's birthday. There were also communal communion celebrations, excursions, swimming festivals, Advent and Christmas celebrations. The alumni used their free time to explore Schleusingen and the surrounding area. The glass and porcelain factories were a popular destination. Around 1907 the school was given a new atmosphere by the grammar school director Orth. Greek sculptures now adorned the corridors, the rooms were painted in color and the auditorium was given Gothic elements. The high school was the cultural center of the city; Theater, music and sporting events for the students were open to the public. Professor Franke also ran a workshop for wood and metalworking, in which students made benches and signposts for the Thuringian Forest and demonstration equipment for physics and mathematics classes.

When the First World War broke out in August 1914 , so many students went to the war as volunteers that as early as September 8, 1914, classes in the upper school were canceled. In the first year of the war, 24 former high school students were killed. It was difficult to keep the school going without the students and teachers fighting at the front. Due to the increasing impoverishment, fewer and fewer foreign parents were able to bear the costs for alumni or pensions, so that the number of pupils fell drastically. In 1913 there were 171 students, in 1916 there were only 96.

After the First World War, the new state government of Thuringia, led by social democrats, reformed the school system again, but the majority of the teaching staff resisted modernization. At Pentecost 1923 the first student was admitted to the grammar school.

Third Reich and post-war period

The director's house on the southwest wing of the main building was built in 1928 as part of a structural expansion. As a result, the space in the alumni could be increased considerably. The political movement of the “ Third Reich ” entered the city as early as the early 1930s ; when Hitler took office in 1933 also in high school life. The school should gleichgeschaltet be. It was compulsory to attend rallies, racial science was introduced as a compulsory subject, was the successful completion of a prerequisite for passing the baccalaureate.

Schools were closed at the end of the war, but could be resumed in October 1945. After the establishment of a boarding school for girls in Georg-Neumark-Strasse in 1946, the school was renamed “Max-Greil-Oberschule” a year later in memory of the school reformer and minister of education, Max Greil . The high school consisted of four grades (9 to 12), the lower grades went to elementary and middle school.

After the political change , classes at the grammar school start again in grade 5.

Time of the GDR

Since 1946 the girls had their own accommodation in today's alumni building, the boys were accommodated as usual on the second floor of the school building. From 1948 onwards only pupils from the ninth grade came to the grammar school, so there was no more home mother. The coexistence in the boarding school was instead regulated by a boarding school active and various commissions for cultural organization. In the 1950s, schoolchildren came to Schleusingen from various parts of the GDR. Including some celebrities of their time: three daughters of Hermann Henselmann (chief architect of the Berlin Stalinhalle), the daughter of Theodor Brugsch ( personal doctor of Walter Ulbricht) and a niece of Horst Sindermann .

In 1952 the school celebrated its 375th anniversary. Schoolchildren and teachers prepared many cultural highlights for the anniversary celebration. In addition to sports competitions and theater performances, a star hike to the mare house was also undertaken. The death of Stalin in 1953 had far-reaching consequences: There were no oral Abitur exams in social studies, which had been a compulsory subject since 1952. The SED dictatorship promoted the connection between schools and economic production. The grammar school (then high school) was assigned to a sponsor company. Schoolchildren therefore took part in bringing in the harvest and were sometimes used as production aids.

In July 1958, the largest collection of the grammar school library moved to the Bertholdsburg Museum for reasons of space . Over the centuries the 15,000 or so volumes were guarded and not sold or burned as in other similar libraries.

When the wall was built in 1961, the grammar school lost one of its teachers. Mathematics teacher Wolfgang Pache stayed in West Berlin on August 13, 1961 and was "bricked up". He did not come back to the GDR unnoticed and did not work as a teacher again. Western clothing and literature were banned. Since 1948 all directors were members of the SED, about 2/3 of the college as well. At the time, this was an exception, because all of the extended secondary schools in the GDR were striving for 100% membership of teachers in the SED.

In the school year 1962/63, the “Abitur with vocational training” was introduced at Schleusinger Gymnasium. From automotive technology to electrical engineering, toolmaking or training as a furniture worker or industrial and commercial clerk, even professional training in agriculture and in medical care professions were offered. During their training, the students received a monthly salary of between 40 and 70 marks. An internship was also completed in-house during the holidays. This form of training existed until 1970. Later a new form of polytechnical training followed, the "scientific-practical work". The work itself and the final theses to be defended were part of the Abitur (similar to today's seminar work at the Hennebergisches Gymnasium). There was also a change in the school's directorate. The previous headmaster was delegated to the position of boarding school director and Peter Nestler (former student and teacher at the time) became the youngest director of a secondary school in the Suhl district at the age of 30.

His comprehensive teaching reform in cooperation with the Erfurt University of Education and with some teachers modernized the school operation. The basic building blocks of this reform were group lessons, a better student-teacher ratio and student self-responsibility. Parts of that time are still anchored in the school's mission statement today.

An official order in 1983 was the reason that partition walls were drawn into larger rooms in the old main school building in order to create space for boarding school students. As early as the summer of '89, the director Katharina Pfeufer, who took office in 1988, allowed her students to revive the Abitur baptism, which was banned in 1974 by the GDR regime.

Nineties until today

In 1991 the grammar school received the name of its founder with the designation: Hennebergisches grammar school "Georg Ernst". In the same year, director Hubert Amthor was appointed as headmaster. With the continuation of Latin lessons in the 1993/94 school year, a 100-year-old tradition could be continued. On the other hand, another tradition ended with the closure of the alumnate in 1994. The establishment of new grammar schools contributed to the fact that the grammar school is primarily of regional importance today.

In 1999, with the demolition of the director's house, the extensive construction and renovation work began, which should contribute to the maintenance of the Schleusinger school. In order to guarantee that the 870 pupils could continue to learn during the construction work, the pupils were accommodated in the former alumnate building on Georg-Neumark-Straße, in the main building and in the Schleusinger elementary school as well as in containers next to the sports hall (Henneberghalle). With the completion of the new building in 2001, a contemporary spatial framework was created for the Schleusinger Gymnasium. In addition, the school received the additional designation "Environmental and European School". This is thanks to the collaboration of students and teachers with many other European schools within the framework of the Comenius project. School traditions developed over the years such as the plug and donor ball, the Elferrat conference, Christmas party, winter ball, carnival and high school baptism as identity-creating elements have taken place every school year since then. With the start of the 2012/13 school year, the alumnate can be used again: the city of Schleusingen, the foundation and the Hildburghausen Education Center (HBZ) have jointly contributed to the reconstruction. This means that students from outside the region also have the opportunity to visit the HGS.

Structures of the grammar school with alumnate and their interaction

The school is a state high school, material expenses are borne by the district of Hildburghausen. The state education authority of South Thuringia supports the fulfillment of educational and upbringing tasks and is responsible for supervising school principals, deputy principals, teachers and other responsible persons. The teaching staff and other employees are employees of the Thuringian Ministry of Culture.

Both the Friends and Sponsors of the Henneberg High School “Georg Ernst” Schleusingen eV) and the foundation (Foundation of the Henneberg High School “Georg Ernst” in Schleusingen) are organized under private law. They support the school in the sense of its statutes and are independent of other bodies such as the municipality, the district or the Ministry of Culture. Together they promote and shape life and learning in grammar school and in alumni.

Support association

Former students and teachers took the initiative in 1991 and revived the association so that it can support the school's interests in a non-profit manner, according to the association's statutory purpose. Essentially, the work is financed through membership fees and donations. All members of the development association are also active on a voluntary basis. The association has 349 members (as of November 2012).

From the history of the development association

Even before the grammar school was founded in 1521, there were study grants that were paid to students at the University of Wittenberg, as well as grants for poor students who were accommodated in the community. On September 29, 1927, on the occasion of the 350th anniversary of the school, thirteen gentlemen met at the initiative of Director of Studies Witte to found the first association of friends, to which not only teachers but also entrepreneurs belonged. In 1940, the board had to give up its task due to the politically prevailing National Socialist structures. The initiative to revive the association came after 1989 from the then school director Peter Nestler and some teachers and friends (founded in 1992). In it, graduates, parents, teachers and school associates promote the educational work at the Hennebergisches Gymnasium through material and non-material commitment.

The purpose of the grant

The following points are laid down in the statutes:

  • Bringing together of adult and former pupils, interested pupil parents and all patrons and friends of the Hennebergisches Gymnasium “Georg Ernst” to act together for its well-being, especially to maintain and care for its educational assets and its school traditions
  • Assistance in the procurement of teaching and learning materials for the school, insofar as they go beyond the obligations and possibilities of the material expense bearer for the acquisition, but are considered appropriate by the teachers
  • Support all of his cultural endeavors, but especially his educational assets, in the form of regular scientific lectures or other events in public
  • Support of talented and worthy pupils by means of financial donations or the provision of teaching materials
  • Special support for socially needy students

Foundation of the Henneberg High School "Georg Ernst"

The foundation of the Hennebergisches Gymnasium "Georg Ernst" has been a legal foundation under civil law since August 2, 2006. Its main goals are to support the grammar school and to help raise its profile, among other things by creating additional training opportunities and providing alumni places. The association of friends and sponsors of the Hennebergisches Gymnasium "Georg Ernst" e. V. on. The Foundation's tasks are to develop, finance and implement long-term projects.

Difference between sponsoring association and foundation

While the sponsoring association can support individual students and projects very flexibly and directly, the foundation's activities are designed for comprehensive and long-term measures. The support association and the foundation pursue a common interest in preserving the traditions of the school and meeting the demands of modern education. Social responsibility, the promotion of high performers and contact with former students and teachers are equally important. Representatives from all bodies and groups of people relevant to school operations sit on the board of trustees. Together they advise and monitor the board of directors and decisions on objectives and amendments to the articles of association. The development association, the city of Schleusingen, the housing company Schleusingen and the Sparkasse Hildburghausen each have a permanent seat on the board of trustees.

From the statutes

The work of the foundation is based on the following areas:

  • Promotion of a humanistic education
  • Creation and implementation of advanced training courses
  • Establishing and maintaining international contacts
  • Assistance in the procurement of teaching and learning materials
  • Supporting gifted and socially disadvantaged students
  • Establishment and operation of the alumnate

In the implementation of these goals, volunteers and partners of the foundation such as the Medienzentrum Henneberger Land e. V., the Hildburghausen Education Center e. V. or the Technical University of Ilmenau. It is thanks to the financial commitment of the patrons that the foundation is able to support the Schleusinger Gymnasium. Three institutions have taken on special responsibility for the school and its foundation: the association with the establishment of the foundation, the Verein Medienzentrum Henneberger Land e. V. with financial and personal commitment and the city of Schleusingen in the form of the donation of the alumnate building and the financial contribution for the reconstruction of the same.

Alumnate of the Henneberg High School "Georg Ernst"

Records about the alumni go back to the year the grammar school was founded. At that time, this institution was also aimed primarily at gifted children with poor parents and was intended to offer them the opportunity to attend school. A large number of students lived and thereby learned to live and work together until 1994. In 2012 the alumnate was sponsored by the city of Schleusingen, the foundation and the Hildburghäuser Bildungszentrum e. V. has been reopened.

The sponsor of the alumnate is the foundation of the Hennebergisches Gymnasium "Georg Ernst" in Schleusingen. It provides the land and buildings and coordinates the cooperation between the school and the operator. The operator is the Hildburghäuser Bildungszentrum e. V. It was agreed between the foundation and the operator that, for the time being, non-school students can also be given accommodation in the Alumnat, provided that there is sufficient capacity.

Special features of the Henneberg high school "Georg Ernst"

Even today, the HGS is based on the traditional values ​​and principles of the former founder from 1577. With the support of students and teachers, partners, sponsors and sponsors, these values ​​and principles can be put into practice. In addition to the historically transmitted values, principles and traditions, the cultural area is of particular importance. Historically significant literary works were taught at the school and theatrical performances were rehearsed at an early stage (see history). From the beginnings of book printing history not only the considerable collection of old books and documents (grammar school library), but also the current interest and responsibility for new forms of media (video working group). The comprehensive all-day offer and the alumni, but also the extracurricular offers promote the community among the students and between students and teachers. International projects and collaborations with partner schools, companies and universities enable versatile training and teach people to act and think independently at an early stage. The practical upbringing and years of G8 experience complete the training that students receive during their school days at the Hennebergisches Gymnasium "Georg Ernst".

Values ​​and training

The main values ​​and principles of the school are listed in the mission statement of the grammar school. Encourage, create, live and learn: Both students with special talents and students with difficulties in learning are encouraged. With the support of the Friends' Association and the Foundation, pupils and teachers can use different opportunities to promote and improve performance. Schoolchildren with learning and performance weaknesses are helped in the class. Representing this is the coat of arms with the inscription "Salus populi suprema lex" (German: "The well-being of the people is the top priority") on a side wall in the entrance area of ​​the grammar school.

Humanistic upbringing and education create the basis for comprehensive training in all subjects. As a MINT- friendly school, the HGS attaches great importance to results-oriented training in all natural science subjects. Additional offers enable the students to acquire in-depth skills. International cooperation with partner schools, a good student-teacher relationship, as well as foresight, responsibility and the participation of students, teachers and citizens in school life shape the humanistic image of the school, the respectful cooperation is in the foreground. The school is also the holder of the titles “European School” and “School without Racism - School with Courage”.

Due to the proximity to the Vessertal biosphere reserve and the Thuringian Forest nature reserve , environmental education is of great importance. One of the pupils' projects deals with waste separation and a resource-friendly life in classrooms. Furthermore, as part of a seminar work, nesting sites were set up for the kestrels and jackdaws living in the school tower . The entire campus is smoke-free and there is a green classroom for outside lessons. Since 1995 the school has had the title "Environmental School".

The high school baptism

The Abitur baptism is a longstanding tradition at the Hennebergisches Gymnasium and represents a special form of the graduation tradition.

Many schools steeped in history have traditions such as school balls, ceremonies or special celebrations for the last day of school for high school graduates. In Schleusingen, however, there is a tradition that is unique and unique in Germany: the Abitur baptism.

After completing the exams, it used to be customary to carry high school graduates on the shoulders of three younger students from the main entrance of the school via the market square to the post office. This trio should symbolize a Roman chariot. From the post office, the high school graduates telegraphed to their parents' homes that they had passed and asked for money for a hearty celebration. After girls also passed their Abitur at school, a change in the implementation of this tradition had to take place. At first only the girls were pulled to the post office in a handcart instead of on shoulders. After the Second World War , however, female and male high school graduates were put in handcarts.

Already since 1947 the passed Abitur has been celebrated as it is still carried out today, with an interruption during the time of the GDR regime (1974 to 1989): The handcarts are decorated with branches and flowers by ninth grade students. Every two students from the tenth grade pull a handcart from the school through the city to the market square. The procession is led by the town band. At the fountain in the market, a short rhyme written by classmates is read out for each graduate. Eleventh students baptize the school leavers disguised as “monastery baptists” with water from the Elisabethenbrunnen. Occasionally, high school graduates are also completely bathed, for this purpose there is a replacement well (an old, galvanized, brightly painted bathtub) with water from the well. In the past, high school graduates were thrown directly into the fountain, today this is no longer possible due to the monument protection of the fountain and the statue of Countess Elisabeth. Saint Elizabeth is spared the sight of this unseemly custom by blindfolding her eyes with a cloth in advance of the event.

Historical literature collection in the grammar school library

In the Henneberger area, the development of letterpress printing originated in Schleusingen. Printing began here as early as 1555 on the initiative of Count Georg Ernst. Some of the books printed here are still in the high school library today. One of the most important clients was the high school.

Reading room in the school library

The Schleusinger grammar school library has survived almost completely and is one of the oldest of its kind. Thanks to the extensive history of the grammar school, many valuable books have been collected over the years. This is mainly due to Duke Georg Ernst and, in the following years, the other rectors and teachers of the school, who donated their books to the library. A large part of the collection is stored in the Bertholdsburg. The well-preserved and valuable books deal with the history of Henneberg and the regional history of Thuringia. The oldest book is a manuscript from 1424. The collection also includes 24 other manuscripts and an original letter in Latin from Martin Luther from 1536. The library comprises a total of 17,747 volumes and 199 incunabula. The old stock has been in the Natural History Museum at Schloss Bertholdsburg since 1958 .

In the grammar school itself there is a collection of current literature and a reading room that can be used by the students. The library can also host cultural events from the school and the city, such as author readings. The upper level uses the library as a reading room during the non-teaching period. Lending is possible for all students and teachers.

Culture and media orientation

A school museum set up by students is located in the attic of the new building. It shows the history of the school from the beginning until today. For this purpose, some collages were created by ourselves. The design and presentation of the pictures, contemporary documents and old works of art was also implemented by the students. After a renovation, the school museum was reopened in 2013 and can be visited on the annual open house. In the future, the museum is to be expanded with a digital picture gallery in order to meet the demands of modern media even more.

School choir

The school club also has a long tradition at the Hennebergisches Gymnasium. Its premises are in the vaulted cellar of the school. Music events were regularly organized here until 2012, to which external bands were invited or other events were organized. At least once a month there was a club evening, on which several bands from the region usually performed. In November 2013, the activities of the school club were resumed under the name “Clubkeller” with the support of a small group of schoolchildren and the school social worker. The club itself is not part of the school's organization, but is supported by the foundation. It acts as an independent body and is therefore independent of the administration of the Hildburghausen district.

Various school balls, such as the plug ball or the donor ball, are organized by students with the support of some teachers. These events are not only accessible to high school students, but also to outsiders. Teachers supervise the events and ensure that everything runs smoothly.

The school choir of the Hennebergisches Gymnasium "Georg Ernst", the "Young Voices", has existed since the 2010/11 school year. The editing of the school newspaper “KlosterNews” takes place within the framework of a working group. The KlosterNews is to be classified as a journalistic-editorial offer within the meaning of § 55 Abs. 2 State Treaty on Broadcasting and Telemedia (RStV) in connection with § 5 Telemediengesetz (TMG). The foundation's board of directors acts as the service provider and is represented by the school principal.

In grades 5 and 6, the teaching of media skills is also integrated into the lessons. The focus in the fifth grade is on print media and in the sixth on media design. In media studies, the seventh grade students are taught about modern media. Profile lessons and projects in grades eight and nine deepen this knowledge. After successfully completing the profiles, the acquired media competence is confirmed with a certificate. The focus of the project work is productive activities for the school television of the grammar school. Under the professional guidance of teachers and employees of the Medienzentrum Henneberger Land e. V. the students create videos and films, edit them and set them to music.

Alumnate and all-day offer

The alumnate building

Although temporary, short-term closings interrupted the alumni operation for a few years, it can look back on a 435-year tradition of the same. The possibility of living in the alumnate during school time at the grammar school is an essential part of the all-day concept and can be continued as a tradition with the reopening in 2012. As the operator of the alumnate, the HBZ has many years of experience in looking after students.

The all-day concept also includes sufficiently large breaks, regular breakfast and lunch provision, as well as separate areas such as the cafeteria, library and student residence to provide a balance to the lessons.
