The Städtische Heriburg-Gymnasium Coesfeld is with 853 students (as of September 2012) Coesfeld's second largest general education school. It was a girls' high school until 1982. Even today, the proportion of girls with 517 students predominates. The Gymnasium is a European school where a bilingual Abitur exam can be taken.
Namesake
St. Heriburg von Nottuln , sister of St. Liudger , is the namesake of the high school. Her name means something like "protector of the Lord".
history
On March 24, 1923, the Prussian Minister for Science, Art and Education approved the establishment of a secondary school for girls in Coesfeld. It was supposed to enable girls to “build up” on the seven-year attendance at elementary school through six more years of school at the “advanced school” and thus gain the higher education entrance qualification without losing time compared to the basic grammar school . In Prussia , at the same time as today's Heriburg-Gymnasium, four further advanced high schools were built in order to improve the girls' “higher education”, which until then only went beyond elementary school in exceptional cases. In 1925, the still young school was assigned the rooms of the previous teachers' seminar on Seminarstrasse in Coesfeld. The teachers' college was established in Coesfeld in 1908. Elementary school teachers who were now to be trained at educational academies had been trained on him. Thus the teaching in Coesfeld ended and the seminar building could be used for the advanced school. In 1926, the advanced classes were recognized as the "State German High School in Advanced Form iE". The first director of the school was Ottilie Küchenhoff, director of studies. At the suggestion of the college, the school should bear the name of the sister of St. Liudgers, the First Bishop of Munster, and called "Gerburgis School", which was approved on February 11, 1927. Since the catchment area of the school extended beyond the borders of the province of Westphalia , the foreign students could only be accommodated in the city orphanage in a makeshift manner, the district and the city of Coesfeld set up a pupil's home on the 2nd floor and named it "Gerburgisheim". It now offered space for 50 students. At Easter 1929 the first eleven women passed their Abitur exams and were ceremoniously bid farewell to school. In September 1933, at the urging of the Nazi rulers, Ms. Küchenhoff, the director of studies, was relieved of her office and transferred to Recklinghausen as a simple teacher. The school director was now Mrs. Transferred to Helene Stehling. On February 24, 1938, the school was renamed the Heriburg School.
cooperation
