The boarding school Hansenberg Castle is a co-educational upper stages - boarding school sponsored by the State of Hesse. It was founded in 2003 as a school for particularly talented, motivated and socially competent students from the state of Hesse and is supported by the business partners Linde Group , Merck KGaA and Fraport AG .
Location
The boarding school is located on Schlossheide in the Geisenheim district of Johannisberg in the Rheingau.
school
The aim of the school is to promote particularly talented, motivated and socially competent students. Pupils are admitted after the middle school at the beginning of the gymnasiale Oberstufe: after the 9th grade (G8-Gymnasien or comprehensive schools with G8 education) or after the 10th class (schools with a Gymnasium education according to G9). Particularly high-performing students in the G9 grammar school or at comprehensive schools may have the opportunity to skip the last year of the middle school, i.e. to be accepted after the 9th grade. Class, group and specialist rooms are located in the school building built in 2003.
profile
A special focus of the school education is on the subjects of mathematics, natural sciences and computer science, and politics and economics. As advanced courses politics and economics, mathematics and natural science or computer science must therefore be occupied.
An internship abroad usually takes place in the qualification phase. English, French, Latin, Spanish and Chinese are offered as foreign languages. In addition to the school focus, the boarding school also offers a wide range of activities on an extracurricular level, for example those who are talented in the arts can get involved in orchestras, choirs, bands or art groups.
Boarding school
In order to support the holistic concept, almost all students live in the boarding school. For students who live in the immediate vicinity, there is also the possibility of applying as external students. The ratio of girls to boys is almost 1: 1.
Eight of the boarding houses (house 1, 3–9) are three-story, with each of the three floors being inhabited by an eight-person group. Each group is supervised by a mentor from the teaching staff and a social pedagogue on school and extracurricular topics. In addition to the extensive library, the students can use music practice rooms, the room of silence, the fitness room, the bicycle workshop, the workshop and the youth research room in their free time. The boarding school accommodates up to 200 boys and girls from three different grades.
The office of the social pedagogues as well as employee apartments and offices are located in building 2.
In 2014 a tenth house was completed, in which living groups and the room of silence are housed.
admission
Admission to Schloss Hansenberg is only possible at the end of the ninth (G8) or tenth (G9) grade. All applicants must take part in a multi-stage selection process.
Public-private partnership
In addition to the State of Hesse, the Altana and Dresdner Bank groups (since 2009 Commerzbank ) and since 2004 Linde AG have also supported the school as part of a public-private partnership (PPP). In June 2008, Roland Koch and the three company representatives extended the PPP to 2014. The contracts with the Linde Group were extended until 2020. From the beginning of 2015 to 2017, the school was the sole partner company until Merck KGaA announced its five-year cooperation with the school for a total of € 250,000 in funding in January 2017 . Fraport AG has also been promoting the institution since 2018.
history
The Federal Republic of Germany acquired the site after the Second World War . The facility, which was subsequently greatly expanded, was used as a disaster control school and, after being taken over by the State of Hesse, as a branch of the Hessian State Fire Brigade School.
With the restructuring of the Hessian State Fire Brigade School, the branch in Hansenberg Castle was given up in 2000. To establish an upper level boarding school, the main and ancillary buildings were rebuilt and expanded for 23 million euros. The boarding houses were completely rebuilt. In autumn 2003 the boarding school was inaugurated and school operations started. In July 2006 the first class of high school graduates left school.
The main building was built in 1823 by the Johannisberg pedagogue Johannes de Laspée . He planned the castle as a natural school and educational institution for orphans. However, due to Laspée's untimely death, one year after construction began, the castle was never used as intended.
