The Julius-Motteler-Gymnasium is the only high school in the large district town of Crimmitschau with just over 600 students and one of the few Saxon high schools with in-depth mathematical and scientific training. It bears the name of the politician Julius Motteler .

history

The Julius-Motteler-Gymnasium was founded on January 7th, 1868 as a high school on the ground floor of the former church apartment and moved to its own building next to the Laurentiuskirche in Crimmitschauer at the beginning of November 1871 . On April 30, 1896, the foundation stone was laid for the current building at 6 Lindenstrasse .

With effect from 1 March 1916, the institution became a grammar school and a junior high school changed its concept. It was not until 1934 that the school building was given its present-day appearance with an extension on the north gable. In the same year, the probably best-known student Helmut Bräutigam passed his Abitur as the best of his year.

American troops entered Crimmitschau on April 14, 1945. As a result, the school was closed. Lessons could only be given again from October 1st, the school was now called Oberschule Crimmitschau . In 1955 the school was transformed into a middle and high school with the possibility of taking the secondary school leaving certificate or the Abitur .

On July 5, 1963, the school was named "Julius Motteler". Motteler was a leading social democrat in the mid-19th century and worked in Crimmitschau for several years. Here he founded, among other things, the first factory workers' union in Germany, for both men and women, and the first social democratic daily newspaper in Germany.

In 1982 the extended high school was converted into a polytechnic high school, in which only the secondary school leaving certificate could be acquired. Pupils who wanted to take the Abitur had to switch to the extended secondary school in the district town of Werdau after the 10th grade or complete vocational training with an Abitur. After the political change in 1989/90, committed teachers and parents initiated the re-establishment of the grammar school education. With effect from September 2, 1990 the extended secondary school reopened and on January 17, 1991 the school support association was founded. Since 1992 the school has been a high school again.

With the inauguration of the auditorium on September 26, 2002, a multi-year renovation and modernization (as a monument preservation building measure) on the Lindenstrasse house was completed. On April 10, 2003, the district council decided to apply for an in-depth mathematical and scientific education for the Crimmitschauer Gymnasium from the 2004/2005 school year according to Section 4 of the Saxon School Act (so-called P-4 education). The Saxon Ministry of Culture approved on November 19, 2004. On August 29, 2005, the mathematical and scientific in-depth lessons at the grammar school began for the first 5th grade. The school was awarded the title School with Idea by the Saxon Ministry of Culture on June 29, 2006 .

School newspaper

The former school newspaper Spektakel received the Saxon youth journalist award in 2001 in third place in the grammar school category and also third place for its online presence.

When Germany-wide MIRROR - School Newspaper Contest 2003, the online presence reached the 8th place.

At the moment the school also has the virtual school newspaper JMG-Times , which is distributed over the Internet. In 2009 it won the Saxon youth journalist award in the online presence category and in 2010 it even became the “best digital school newspaper in Germany” when it won the school newspaper competition of the weekly newspaper Die Zeit . Since December 2009, printed editions of the JMG-Times have been published every 2 to 3 months .

Student radio

As early as 2007, the idea of ​​broadcasting a radio broadcast over the school's modern radio system came up. But at that time there was still criticism of the implementation attempts. From 2009 to 2012 there was a working group that dealt with school radio. From the second half of 2010, a 15-minute program with music, news, culture and tips from students was organized three times a week. In the school year 2010/2011 there was also broadcast in the second house. Here, students in the 6th – 8th grade create Classes a radio show twice a week called the JuMo Channel . Four to five programs per week were planned. The student radio was given up due to a lack of interest from the listeners but also from the moderators.
