The Justus-Knecht-Gymnasium is a general educational high school in the city of Bruchsal in the district of Karlsruhe in Baden-Württemberg . It is named after Justus Knecht (1839–1921), a Catholic theologian , writer and auxiliary bishop in Freiburg . The school with a scientific and linguistic profile can look back on 125 years of history. Around 1320 pupils are taught there by around 120 teachers (as of the 2016/17 school year).

history

Today's Justus-Knecht-Gymnasium emerged from two schools whose school history dates back to 1864 and 1844 respectively.

"Boy School" on the reserve

One of the forerunners of today's school, the "Bubenschule" , was founded in 1888 in the Reserve district as a private bourgeois school by Karl Gremmelspacher and in 1891 became the municipal secondary school . In 1892 it became a state secondary school , which meant the official establishment of a public school . In 1912 the school became an upper secondary school and in 1913 the first Abitur could be taken there. In 1937 the school was renamed "Freiherr-vom-Stein-Schule" . In 1945 the classes temporarily ended before they could be continued in 1946. The building of the former boy's school now houses the Schönborn-Gymnasium Bruchsal .

"Girls School" on Friedrichsplatz

In 1877, the "Municipal Higher Daughter School" on Friedrichsplatz was created from forerunners since 1844 . In 1901 a new school building was moved into on Friedrichsplatz and in 1906 the school became the state secondary school for girls , which corresponds to the establishment of a public school. In 1926 it became a girls' secondary school, which in 1937 was named "Mozart School" and in 1940 the first Abitur could be passed. After the building was completely destroyed in 1945, classes were resumed together with the pupils of the "boys' school" in the "Reserve" district .

Justus Knecht High School

In 1951 the school community moved from the buildings on the reserve to Moltkestrasse, the current location of the Justinus Knecht Gymnasium. The site was built in 1938 as a primary school under the name "Karl-Schemm-Schule" , served as a military hospital from 1942 and was partially destroyed in 1945. The ruin was renamed "Justus-Knecht-Schule" and was rebuilt by 1951. The new building housed 29 classrooms and specialist rooms. After the school community moved in as "Realgymnasium Bruchsal" , the school was renamed in 1953 to the current name "Justus-Knecht-Gymnasium Bruchsal" . In 1964 four classrooms were built as pavilions in the courtyard of the school after there was already a lack of space in 1957 and an application to enlarge the school was submitted. In 1966/67 the main building was increased by a further 10 classrooms and additional specialist rooms, which corresponds to an expansion of 1834 m 2 . In 1977 two wooden barracks were set up on the sports field as additional classrooms, which were used until the 1980s. In 2000 a new building was erected at the location of the pavilions in the courtyard, where the 10 classrooms will be accommodated. Due to a further increase in the number of pupils, classroom containers were set up on the sports field from 2008 to 2010 . In 2017, planning began for the construction of a "C-building" on the sports field for a further 10 classrooms, the completion of which is planned for 2020. In the same year the JKG celebrated its 125th anniversary.

Development of the number of students

After the war in 1946 approx. 350 pupils attended the school, in 1951 approx. 750. With 1,550 pupils, the previous high was reached in 1969, which was reached again in 2008 after a temporary decline in 1987 to only approx. 750 pupils with approx. Today around 1,300 students attend the Justus Knecht grammar school in Bruchsal.

Special

  • Amateur Radio AG: The Justus-Knecht Gymnasium has been cooperating with the Bruchsal local association of the German Amateur Radio Club (DARC) since 2013 . Interested pupils are introduced to the topics of amateur radio and electronics in many individual projects as part of the amateur radio working group . On July 1, 2016, the amateur radio group made contact with the international space station ISS .
  • In the course of the dispute over the duration of school time , two G8 classes with 31 hours per week and five G9 classes with 28 hours per week were set up in the fifth level at the Justus-Knecht-Gymnasium. The difference grows to four to five extra hours per week in the following classes, the G9 students start later with history, social studies and the second and third foreign language, but instead deepened learning in the main subjects German, mathematics and the first foreign language, it said in a Spiegel article.
  • In a pilot project, nine classrooms were converted in such a way that they are mainly heated by solar radiation, daylight, the heat emitted by the lighting and the body's waste heat from the students. In this way, the energy consumption in the classrooms can be reduced by more than 90 percent.
  • With the student company InnoArts , students of the JKG founded a real advertising agency. With this student company, the JKG took part in the federal student company contest .
  • For the 125th anniversary of the JKG, a weather balloon was launched on July 21, 2017.
