The Hans-Dietrich-Genscher-Gymnasium is a high school in the city of Halle (Saale) with bilingual classes . There are currently 630 students studying here, who are taught by 52 teachers. A special offer for linguistically interested students is the bilingual lessons from grade 7.
location
As early as November 1908, sketches were made for a new building for the Reform Realgymnasium in Halle. However, it was difficult to choose the building site because the school was in the center and the distribution of the higher schools in Halle had to be taken into account. A suitable place was found at the Steintor at Friesenstrasse 3–4.
Bilingual teaching
At the Hans-Dietrich-Genscher-Gymnasium, bilingual history, biology and social studies lessons (from the 7th grade) are given in English and German, with the foreign language being the actual language of instruction. As early as the 5th school year, the students have intensified English lessons with two hours more per week. The addition and deselecting of subjects in the Saxony-Anhalt school system is not influenced. Not every student who wants to attend grammar school has to attend a bilingual class.

history
The school was founded in 1909 as a Reform Realgymnasium. In 1913 she moved into the current building. In 1937 the Reform Realgymnasium became the Friedrich Nietzsche School, and in 1947 the Friedrich Engels Oberschule. In March 1946, Hans-Dietrich Genscher passed his Abitur at the school. In 1955 the school was redesigned to become the “Friedrich Engels” children's and youth sports school . In 1969 the polytechnic high school “Dr. Kurt Fischer ”, a school with extended Russian lessons . On November 2, 1990, the Dr. Kurt Fischer School was renamed the Johann Gottfried Herder School, before it was renamed the Johann Gottfried Herder Gymnasium on August 1, 1991. On March 27, 2009, a festive event took place on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the Reformrealgymnasium.
As a result of an initiative by students, teachers and parents and a corresponding resolution by the city council, the school has borne the name of its most famous student Hans-Dietrich Genscher since the 2017 school year.
