The Johann-Rist-Gymnasium is a high school in Wedel . At the school, 880 students are taught by 82 teachers (including trainees). The name of the high school goes back to the German poet and preacher Johann Rist (1607–1667).

history

First attempts by the city of Wedel to set up a grammar school failed in 1954 because neither the state of Schleswig-Holstein nor the city had the necessary financial resources. At the end of 1960, the area at Redder was available after negotiations had previously taken place with the Protestant church and an allotment garden association that was located there and moved to Wedeler Autal as part of an exchange. The Hamburg architects Hans Mensinga and Dieter Rogalla were commissioned to build the school building after a tender. The cost was estimated at more than two million marks, of which the state of Schleswig-Holstein contributed 820,000 marks. Construction work began on July 1, 1963. After the announcement in 1964, Winfried Donnhauser was hired as the first director of the new school.

Classes began on April 5, 1965. On May 26th the school was named Johann Rists . The gym opened in 1966. In 1968 the school's sports teachers founded the SC Rist Wedel , which is one of the largest basketball clubs in Germany today. In 1969, English was introduced as the first foreign language. The sports field was completed in 1974.

Because of the close connection to SC Rist Wedel, basketball is very important at the school. The school teams regularly take part in the national finals of the youth trained for the Olympics competition and have won it several times.

Until 2002, Manfred Zuber led the grammar school as headmaster for 18 years. In September 2014 the extension of the grammar school was inaugurated. The total cost of the new building was 5.8 million euros. From 2002 to 2015 Claus Gilliard was the headmaster in office. His successor was Bertram Rohde.

In June 2019, the city of Wedel approved the construction of the lower level wing.

Bunker system

Entrance to the bunker facility on Pinneberger Strasse

There is a spacious underground bunker under the school building , which should serve to ensure medical care in the greater Hamburg area in the event of a nuclear strike or war . Within a very short time, up to 1,694 patients could have been admitted who, thanks to their own water and power supply, could have been supplied independently of the outside world. Over the years the facility was only used as part of an exercise in 1975. After the end of the Cold War , however, the maintenance of this facility was given up and the equipment (beds, medical devices, sanitary supplies) was used to provide aid in needy areas of the world at the end of the 1990s. Today there are rented storage rooms in parts of the bunker.
