The Konrad-Adenauer-Gymnasium (short: KAG ) in Langenfeld is a municipal high school with 1,048 students who are taught in two buildings and three sports halls. The name of the KAG can be traced back to the first German Chancellor, Konrad Adenauer .
history
The KAG was founded on December 19, 1963 by the city of Langenfeld to relieve the remaining schools in the area. In the first six years the number of pupils grew to 550, which is why the school moved from Gieslenberger Strasse in 1970 to the then new building on Auf dem Sändchen .
organization
The 1,048 students are divided into 25 classes in lower secondary level and three grades in upper secondary level. They are taught by a total of 97 teachers including trainee lawyers. The headmaster is Stephan Wippermann-Janda, the deputy headmaster is Martina Weiß. (Students and teachers as of October 20, 2017)
