The Karl-Ernst-Gymnasium Amorbach is a high school in Amorbach , Bavaria and has existed since 1807.
history
The Amorbach Monastery was dissolved in 1803 by the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss . It was secularized and came into the possession of the princes of Leiningen , who were compensated for their loss of territory on the left bank of the Rhine.
The educational institution was then founded in 1807 by decree of Prince Emich Karl zu Leiningen (1763–1814). At the end of the 19th century, the school had financial difficulties, but the then Prince Ernst zu Leiningen was able to win the city of Amorbach for further support of the school. In 1904, the year of Prince Ernst's death, the city of Amorbach decided to rename the institution to "Städtische Karl-Ernst-Latin-Schule" in order to honor both the founder and the savior of the school on a permanent basis.
In 1923 the school could only be continued with the financial support of Prince Emich zu Leiningen. In 1936, a fire destroyed all of the school's certificates and files. In the same year, Prince Emich zu Leiningen made a new building available to the school. Since 1941 the school has been called the five-class Karl Ernst Oberschule for boys.
In December 1945 it was reopened as a six-class school. In 1947 she received an additional seventh grade (11th grade). In 1948, 10 out of 14 students passed the school-leaving examination in the first year of Abitur.
From autumn 1948, only the 6 classes from the 5th to 10th school year were taught because the Ministry of Culture forbade further Abitur exams due to the poor performance level. The name of the school was changed to Städtisches Realprogymnasium , which means preparatory school for the Realgymnasium , on the instructions of the Ministry of Culture .
In 1955, the Städtische Karl-Ernst-Realschule received the certificate authorization, it was thus on an equal footing with other state schools and the pupils no longer had to take an entrance examination when switching to secondary schools. In 1960 the school was taken over by the state and called itself Karl-Ernst-Oberrealschule and continues to be run in six classes. In 1962 the next name was changed to Karl-Ernst-Realgymnasium , but the school still has six classes (5th – 10th school year).
In 1967 a new school building was moved into and the name Karl-Ernst-Gymnasium was given to the school. In 1969 the first class graduated from high school in the new building. A language laboratory was set up in 1972 and 1973 .
In 1976 it was approved to establish a mathematical and natural science branch in the previously linguistically oriented grammar school. In 1977 and 1978 the course phase was started in the college level and the teaching week was reduced from a 6-day week to a 5-day week. In 1980 a wing for the college levels was added.
In 1998 a new media room with a language laboratory and internet connection was built.
In 1999 and 2000 the European grammar school type was newly introduced. At the same time, a biology hall and a second media room were newly furnished. All specialist rooms were connected to the network and the Internet. By 2001, all classrooms were connected to the network and the Internet.
In June 2003 work began on building an extension and extension. Since the 2003/2004 school year, the pilot project of a linguistic grammar school has been running in which only new languages are taught in the order English, French and Spanish. In parallel, the mathematical and scientific branch continues to exist.
