The IGS Linden (Integrated Comprehensive School Linden) is an integrated comprehensive school in Hanover . It is located in the Linden-Mitte district .
The IGS Linden is the oldest integrated comprehensive school in Hanover. It was one of the seven experimental schools in Lower Saxony and has been one of the largest schools in Hanover since it opened on August 1, 1971.
description
The beginnings
In the 1960s, a debate about the “ educational emergency ” was held in the Federal Republic of Germany . Various interests - academics, trade unions, education politicians and parents - saw it as urgent to reform the school system and invest in education. This discussion brought about the development of integrated comprehensive schools as an alternative model to the tripartite school system. In November 1969, the education ministers of the federal states decided to carry out school trials with comprehensive schools. In Lower Saxony, for example, seven integrated and two cooperative comprehensive schools were set up. The project received particular support from SPD politician Hiltrud Grote .
The IGS Linden started with the 1971/72 school year, in eight classes with 240 students (with a total of 604 registrations). In Linden, two main areas were pursued with the school trial:
- The comprehensive school should use existing buildings and
- computer-based learning methods should be tried out.
At the beginning, the school was scientifically supported by Kurt Aurin from the Technical University of Hanover . Initially, there were no specific regulations on the curriculum, timetables and grading. It was not until mid-1972 that the Minister of Education issued the relevant regulations.
Lack of space in the 1970s
The school has had too few classrooms since the beginning; the 1972/73 school year started with 720 pupils in 24 classes. Despite the construction of a pavilion, there was still a lack of space, in particular specialist rooms for science classes. In the 1973/74 school year, lessons were therefore also held in the entrance hall, which was also used for serving food. In the 1974/75 school year the number of pupils rose to 920. Since the existing buildings could not be avoided, the IGS Linden moved to the new school building on Mühlenberg in the 1975/76 school year , which also housed the IGS Mühlenberg . A proposal by the school administration to distribute the classes to different buildings in the vicinity was only rejected. The students, who mostly lived in Linden and Limmer, were now dependent on bus services provided by the city. Numerous protests accompanied the move, and the expression "exile" was repeatedly used in the daily press. In May 1977, the IGS Linden, now comprising 1,440 students, returned to the expanded Linden school complex. The secondary level II, which became necessary with the school year 1977/78, had to fall back on the facility at Mühlenberg. In addition, the building of the former Humboldt School in Beethovenstraße was rebuilt, which should be ready for the upper school in 1981.
Current situation
The main office of the school, which houses secondary level I with grades 5 to 10, is located at 11 Straße am Lindener Berge, the sports hall is not far away on Lindener Berg . The main office consists of the rooms of the former municipal middle school, an adjoining former elementary school and an additional new building. The branch, in which the years 11 to 13 are accommodated, is in the nearby Beethovenstrasse 5. When the upper school was founded, she moved into the former building of the Humboldtschule Hanover , which moved to a new building on Ricklinger Strasse.
In 2014, the seventh year of the IGS Linden moved into the building of the expiring Ihmeschule, a special needs school , in the nearby Badenstedter Straße. The IGS Linden shares the building with the Lindener Gymnasium Helene-Lange-Schule, which operates a branch there.
In the 2014/15 school year it had around 1,350 students and around 130 teachers, including special needs teachers. At this point the school has six classes in the entire lower secondary level with around 150 students per year. The number of pupils in the upper secondary level is roughly the same, as the school is one of only four of the eleven Hanover IGSs that have their own upper level and traditionally accept numerous school-leavers from other schools in the 11th year.
The school is a bound all-day school , classes start at 8:15 a.m. and end at 4:10 p.m. Monday to Thursday and at 1:25 p.m. on Fridays. However, the students do not always have the desired teaching time for the entire week.
The HAZ published on February 27, 2020: "The integrated comprehensive school in Linden is to get a new building. The council voted almost unanimously in favor of the majority alliance (SPD, Greens, FDP) calling for alternative locations for the school to be examined and the planning up to to be completed by 2030 at the latest. "
School building Am Lindener Berge No. 12
The school building Am Lindener Berge No. 12 dates from 1905. The architect Georg Fröhlich designed it as a town. Middle school opened house. It was the penultimate school building that was built in the then independent town of Linden. The building is characterized by a central projection with five axes , which ends at the top with a curved gable . Three-storey side wings, each with four axes, surround the central projection, the side wings are joined by single-storey buildings with a hipped roof . The entrances are in the side wings. They are designed like a portal and are represented by owl figures, as an allusion to a typical attribute of Pallas Athene , the Greek goddess of wisdom. The southern portal was later changed: It was connected to a covered pedestrian bridge that connects the school building with the new buildings on the opposite side of the street. The facade is characterized by a rather subtle decor in which elements of the late Gothic or early Renaissance are combined with those of the Art Nouveau . The Linden coat of arms in the middle of the parapet zone on the second floor indicates the owner. Decorative reliefs surround the coat of arms with heads, half-figures and plant tendrils. A teaching teacher is shown between a boy and a girl.
In 1926 a gymnasium was added to the school building in the north.
