The Humboldt-Gymnasium Trier ( HGT ) is a secondary school in Trier . Until March 2009 the school was called Hindenburg-Gymnasium Trier .

building

The plans for the school building were drawn up by Erich Wirth. The three-wing, three- to four-story low-rise complex is one of the listed buildings in Trier . There are three stairwells in the school building. These divide the school into three parts. The playground is mostly made of concrete, and there is a diving pit, a running track and a small sports field with two handball goals.

history

On December 4, 1821, a teacher Fischer received the approval of the Kgl. Government to found a boys' school . Young men should be trained in commercial and industrial professions. The subjects initially taught were German, French, history, geography, cultural studies, mathematics, religion, civic morality and drawing. The school then opened on January 2, 1822. While the school building was initially on Brotstrasse, the seat of the grammar school was relocated to Weberbach on October 16, 1824 after the city council had elevated the school to a city school, now called the Neues Gymnasium . Technology became the new subject . On November 5, 1825, the grammar school relocated again, this time to the old Carmelite monastery in Böhmerstrasse. A year later, Latin was also added as a subject. In 1830 the school received the approval of the Kgl. Government to transform it into a higher city school, as well as its connection with a trade school .

On September 13, 1845, the City Council to transform the school into a grammar school decided that six classes Sexta should Prima to exist. In addition to Latin and French, English was now offered as a third foreign language. The school primarily served the purpose of preparing for attending a technical college. Two years later the school was elevated to a provincial trade school by a ministerial decision. A year later you could also take final exams. The Matura examination was first taken in autumn 1848.

In 1936 the then director Heinrich Ohmen was forced to retire because he was not a member of the NSDAP. The cooperation between the school and the Hitler Youth was promoted under the new director Eduard Anrich. After the school buildings were completely destroyed in a bombing raid in 1944, they were rebuilt in 1956, including the gymnasium and auditorium . On May 30, 1959, the reopening was celebrated in the auditorium of the grammar school.

Surname

From 1896 the school was called Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gymnasium. In 1914 the name "Royal High School with Realschule iE" was common. During the First World War in 1917, the school was renamed "Hindenburg Realgymnasium" on the occasion of Field Marshal Paul von Hindenburg's 70th birthday . In 1937 the name was officially called the Hindenburg School, the state high school for boys . After the Second World War , the state Hindenburg Realgymnasium was the name of the school from 1945 . On March 31, 2009, after extensive discussions in the city council, the school was renamed Humboldt-Gymnasium. The Humboldt Gymnasium proposal also had the advantage that the abbreviation HGT could be retained.

Projects

  • The school participates in the Comenius program and in the
  • Agenda 21 NOW internet conference . The Agenda21NOW! AG co-organizes the Comenius project on the one hand and organizes the annual " Agenda21NOW! International Internet Conference " on the other . It not only consists of schoolchildren, but is also supported by teachers and students, so that a conference can take place every spring. In 2013 the theme was " Humanity depicts poverty, poverty depicts humanity? A question of cause and a quest for solutions " and the conference lasted exactly 24 hours, so that everyone around the world has the chance to debate at a pleasant time. The aim is to find solutions to international problems, but also to be able to better understand or at least understand the ways of life and the outlook on life of others. The Agenda 21 NOW! has been a pilot project of the UNESCO project schools since 2003 and is supported by the German UNESCO Commission. It is also part of the UNESCO Associated Schools Project Network (UNESCO ASPnet) and the UNESCO Baltic Sea Project.
