school-building

main building

The main building of the Hermann Lietz School in Haubinda is a Franconian half-timbered building with English influences. The Lietz boarding school village Haubinda is one of the few rural education centers that was designed and built as a school. All historical buildings of the Hermann-Lietz-Schule have been under monument protection since 1991 . Originally it was supposed to be a boarding school for boys only. In 2019, around 120 of the approximately 400 students live in the boarding school. There is a sports field with a beach volleyball field , a two-field sports and multi-purpose hall , a school garden , a library with around 20 computer workstations , a nature trail , a wood workshop and a forge . The school also has an agricultural area with its own riding arena. The school grounds cover around 90  hectares . There are a total of 14 boarding houses in which the students live with the teachers.

Adjoining house

The neighboring house is also a Franconian half-timbered building . Two boarding school families are currently living on the upper floor of the renovated building. In the lower part there is a classroom, a media center and a common room for students. The school's first gymnasium used to be located there .

Emilia House

The Emiliahaus of the Hermann Lietz School Haubinda was named after Hermann Lietz's mother . He lived in this house with his wife and three children until his death in 1919. It was built in 1910.

Volkerthaus

The Volkerthaus was named after Friedrich Volkert, who ran the school from 1909 to 1921. It was completely destroyed in World War II and rebuilt in 2002.

Prince house

When the son of the von Saalfeld family attended school, a house was built for him in 1920. In 1930 the Prinzenhaus was donated to the "Hermann Lietz Foundation".

The new cafeteria has been located north of the historic building since 2014 , in which every student has their own individual place to eat.

School history

Hermann Lietz bought the detached manor in Haubinda for 250,000 marks, founded the second German state education home there and moved in in 1901 with 60 boys. In 1903 theodor Lessing , who worked as a substitute teacher in Haubinda, had a dispute about the admission of Jewish students, which is known as the "Haubinder Jewish Crash". In 1919, as part of the establishment of a foundation by Lietz, shortly before his death, the school was placed under the sponsorship of the " Hermann Lietz Foundation ". Karl Langenstraß, husband of the painter Magda Langenstraß-Uhlig, worked here as a doctor in 1919 and, after Lietz's death, as vice-principal for a short time . The school was able to continue during both world wars and during National Socialism . In 1945 the land reform law came into force in the Soviet occupation zone where the school was located . The property of over 100 hectares was expropriated without compensation. With the end of the Second World War, the reform pedagogy chapter in Haubinda ended for the time being. The school was sponsored by the State of Thuringia until 1951 . The GDR border police were stationed there between 1951 and 1957 . From 1957 to 1961 the school served as the central school for grades five to ten from Schlechtsart , Gompertshausen , Westhausen and Haubinda as well as children who were transferred from other schools. The school closed again in 1961 and soldiers moved in. From 1971 the school was available to children from the surrounding villages as a ten-class polytechnic high school . After the turnaround and the re-acquisition by the foundation, a new concept was developed for the school in 1990, which was approved as a school trial in the state of Thuringia. The privatization was carried out in the 2001/2002 school year, with which the school trial ended successfully. The school has been under construction again since privatization . In 2015, the Hermann Lietz School in Haubinda took first place in the “Thuringian Future Prize - Special Youth Prize” competition.

School profile

“Personal development and closeness to nature” are the focus of the school profile. "Enjoyment of learning" is the prerequisite for "lifelong learning", according to the school in its self-portrayal. In their own “school state Haubinda”, the children and young people learned to “regulate living together independently and democratically”. The "consciously chosen location" in the Franconian Henneberger Land is important . This includes a separate house for each family, a bakery, a nursery with a greenhouse, a large organic farm and a large workshop for wood and metalwork.

Subjects

The foreign languages English and Spanish are offered at the Hermann Lietz School in Haubinda . Students are taught in English from year one. From the 5th grade onwards, students can voluntarily take part in Spanish classes. It is also possible to acquire language certificates in English ( Cambridge ESOL ).

Branches of instruction

The 7th to 10th grades are divided into three branches or elective subjects (representation and design, science and economics, environment and Europe). The pupils of the Hermann-Lietz-Schule Haubinda must have decided on one of the three branches at the beginning of the 7th grade. Each of these areas has a different area subject in which students are taught four lessons per week. All students attend their chosen branch up to completion of secondary school , technical college entrance qualification or high school diploma .

Scientific branch

The students are taught four school hours in the subject “Nawi” every week. Natural science subjects ( physics , mathematics , biology and chemistry ) are taught in double hours. The area regularly takes part in competitions.

Economy-Environment-Europe branch

In this branch of instruction there is a further profile subject in addition to business-law-technology, the subject business-environment-Europe. The school took part in the project of the international foundation for environmental education and was awarded the title Environmental School in Europe .

Artistic branch

The "Representation and Design" area of ​​the Hermann-Lietz-Schule Haubinda mainly deals with the staging and performances of theater pieces . Each class in the area performs two pieces in a school year. In the 8th grade one of these two productions is an English play and in the 9th grade a musical .

The school state

The Haubinda School State project , a self-administration of students, teachers and employees, became known nationwide.

Student court

There is a student court at the school , where all the bodies present at a court hearing (defense attorney, public prosecutor, judge) are held by students. Penalties up to an “application to terminate the parenting contract” can be pronounced.

Such a student court has existed since 1998, making it the first and oldest student court in the Federal Republic of Germany . It is also the only student court in the Free State of Thuringia so far.

Upper school

At the technical college in the Lietz boarding village Haubinda, the subjects economics / administration and technology are offered with a focus on information technology. The Hermann-Lietz-Schule Haubinda is currently the only school in Thuringia where you can take the general Abitur after the technical college entrance qualification.

Project trips

Once a year, the school's students go on a five-day project trip. In groups of 15 to 20 students, they travel to destinations all over Germany. Before the project trips, every student in grades 7 to 9 must choose a topic that suits the project trip and then write an annual paper about it. Each student is supervised throughout the school year while creating the work. In addition, canoeing and cycling tours are undertaken every year.

Branches and administration

The administrative headquarters of the four Hermann Lietz schools (Hermann Lietz School Haubinda, Hermann Lietz School Schloss Hohenwehrda , Hermann Lietz School Spiekeroog and Hermann Lietz School Schloss Bieberstein ) are located in Hofbieber .
