history
The history of the Klettgau-Gymnasium began in 1968 with the construction of the main building. The first classes were taught in the 1969/1970 school year. The opening of the Klettgau-Gymnasium relieved the Hochrhein-Gymnasium Waldshut , which was overly stressed at that time . The first headmaster to be mentioned was Franz Josef Schrenk, his deputy was Ernst Huber. Huber held this position until 1991, when he was replaced by Georg Lutz, who in turn was replaced by Peter Budde in 1997. A change in the school management took place in 1985 when Günther Faller took over the post from Franz Josef Schrenk. In 2005 he was replaced by Bernd Crößmann, who in 2015 was the current headmaster, Dr. Manfred Römersperger followed. A new building was soon necessary due to the increasing number of students. The old pavilion was built out of emergency. However, this was later demolished, more precisely in 1994. Construction materials that are harmful to health are the reason. The new pavilion was completed on time for the 1994/1995 school year. The planning of the striking extension began in 1996 and it was inaugurated in 1998. Since July 13, 2013 there is also a cafeteria at the grammar school . There is now significantly more space for a better lunch menu and the various working groups.
