The Herzog-Ernst-Gymnasium Uelzen ( abbreviation: Heg or HEG ) is next to the Lessing-Gymnasium one of the two high schools in the Hanseatic city of Uelzen in Lower Saxony . It was first mentioned in 1333 as a Latin school . The grammar school was named after Ernst I , Duke of Braunschweig and Lüneburg.

history

It was first mentioned in the 14th century, but it was not until 1535 that Duke Ernst gave the school's birthplace at the end of Pastorenstrasse. In 1538 the school, which at that time consisted of only two classes, was on the north side of the cemetery belonging to the Marienkirche. In 1792 the school was moved to the south side before it was housed in a building on Schillerstraße in 1904. In 1969 the school moved to the current building on Albertstrasse.

In the first centuries the school was a boys' school before 1816 from the Latin School , a public school was. At that time they visited 124 students. From 1925 the school was called "Städtisches Reformrealgymnasium plus Realschule" before it became a high school for boys in 1937. After the Second World War it was called the Herzog-Ernst-Schule. It was not until 1955 that the school was given its current name “Herzog-Ernst-Gymnasium” and a girls’s grammar school (Lessing grammar school) was built on Ilmenauufer , which was opened in 1957.

In 2000, the first wind class was introduced and Spanish was offered as a compulsory foreign language for the first time.

The HEG today

The Herzog-Ernst-Gymnasium is a European school , part of the Comenius project and has been recognized as a sports-friendly school .

The HEG has partnerships with schools in various countries that are regularly maintained. So has z. For example, each year a small group of ninth graders have the opportunity to briefly attend Jacksonville High School in Illinois and live with a host family.

In addition to English , the compulsory optional languages ​​Spanish, French and Latin are also offered.

In the afternoons there are mostly many different groups, for example the choir, the wood factory, rowing, the art group and the big band.

The self-organizing student company HEG-Economy-Group eV has been offering school clothes, but also exercise books and other teaching materials since 2006. From 2009 to 2014, the students wrote and distributed an in-school newspaper called ausHEGt , which reported on everyday school life and provided information on other topics that interested the students. The school newspaper also contained funny articles.

High School

Since the HEG is a grammar school, there is also an Abitur class every year. In 2020, however, there will be no Abitur class because the grammar schools in Lower Saxony will switch from G8 to G9. Every year the high school graduate organizes a motto week in which the students of the year dress up according to a certain motto (e.g. horror) and go through the school with loud music and sweets. On Friday the motto is Anonymous and everyone is wearing overalls with an Anonymous mask. On this day there are often pranks against the rival Lessing-Gymnasium Uelzen. Day X takes place on the day on which the Abi grades are awarded (usually in June). In the first two hours, the high school graduate put on a show in the sports hall, while the rest of the school watched. Regular lessons take place in the next two hours and the high school graduates receive their certificates. In the 5th and 6th hours there is a soccer game between high school graduates and teachers, at which all students watch again.

Digitization at the HEG

The Herzog-Ernst-Gymnasium uses Iserv under the domain heg-portal.de as a digital communication platform. Every student, teacher or parent representative receives an e-mail address according to the scheme firstname.lastname@domain. The platform also contains a messenger, a video conference module, a task module and modules for working together on texts and presentations. The video conference and task modules were only added during the Covid-19 pandemic to enable digital learning. Many teachers have only been using the messenger since the beginning of the corona crisis. The assignment module is used by most teachers, but the use of the video conference module is very rare. The task module enables a bundled display of tasks and deadlines. The teachers' solutions and corrections can also be uploaded there.
