history
Beginning of vocational school teaching in the Main-Taunus-Kreis 1920–1957
As early as 1920, the "apprentices" wanted to impart additional knowledge in addition to their operational training. That is why the "Law on the Further Training of Apprentices" passed in Hessen this year provided for the establishment of vocational schools in which young people were to be taught during their working hours - at that time 48 hours a week. However, initially nothing changed due to a lack of money: until the 1930s, lessons for apprentices only took place in the evenings after work and on Sunday mornings. Saturday was working day.
In 12 of the 49 villages in the district there were small advanced training schools. Only male apprentices from all trades were taught together in one class. In 1938, the district vocational school of the Main-Taunus district was opened in the cellar building in Hofheim. At that time, the Main-Taunus-Kreis, which was founded in 1928 and still had its administrative headquarters in Höchst, decided on Hofheim as the vocational school location. Five trade teachers taught 800 students in five rooms: shoemakers, carpenters, blacksmiths, farmers, tinsmiths, rural house servants and - this is where the commercial focus of the later Konrad Adenauer School appears for the first time - the so-called "sales girls".
In 1943, after five years of school operation, the vocational school had to close again because most of the apprentices were called up as soldiers during the Second World War. In 1948, classes were resumed in the cellar building.
New building in Brühlwiese in 1958
In the mid-1950s, 1,500 students were taught by 20 teachers. The school and its numerous branches and branches scattered around the district were bursting at the seams. The Main-Taunus-Kreis reacted and made an important decision from the point of view of the vocational schools. Under District Administrator Joseph Wagenbach, the new vocational school was opened in the Gartenstrasse in Hofheim in 1958 - before the establishment of a grammar school - which later became the Brühlwiesen school. The modern building, which is still the core of the Brühlwiesenschule with a slightly different outfit, became a model school.
At the beginning of the 1960s, eight qualified trade teachers were already working in the commercial department. The “sales girls” were now called saleswomen and were only part of the commercial vocational school. In addition to them there were industrial, wholesale and bank clerks and, for the first time, administrative clerks.
Further building blocks of the later Konrad-Adenauer-Schule were the hairdressing department, the housekeeping department and the butcher and baker departments as well as the health professions doctor, dentist and pharmacy assistants. In the following years, full-time school forms were added to the vocational school classes for the trainees: higher commercial school, vocational school, the vocational preparation year (BVJ), the basic vocational training year (BGJ) and the technical college. The commercial high school was founded in 1970, the first specialization of today's vocational high school.
Founding of the Konrad-Adenauer-Schule in 1982 and the building in Kriftel in 1986
In 1982 the vocational schools in the Main-Taunus-Kreis were formally divided into a school with a predominantly commercial focus and a school with a predominantly commercial focus. When there was no longer enough space for the two schools despite various extensions in Hofheim, the new building was planned. The location of the new school, like the Hofheim vocational school, should be in the center of the district. The municipality of Kriftel supported the new building plans from the start. This is how today's Konrad-Adenauer-Schule was chosen.
At the beginning of the 20th century, gravel was extracted on the site between Hofheim and Kriftel, which was needed, among other things, for the construction of the later A 66. The site of the former gravel pit became the construction site for the Konrad Adenauer School. Since water collected at the deepest point, the pond was created here. To mark the inauguration of the new building, the Höchst Kreisblatt titled “32 million for a masterpiece”. In 1986, classes began at the vocational school in Kriftel, which in 1988 was named Konrad-Adenauer-Schule after a conference resolution.
Growth and development of the Konrad Adenauer School
The spectrum of the Konrad-Adenauer-Schule was supplemented in the following years by the two-year school training for the foreign language secretariat, the technical college for economics in form B, the higher commercial school and the resumed teaching of administrative clerks, the two-year vocational school for the medical field and the establishment of the A-type technical college, now the full-time school form with the vast majority of students at the Konrad-Adenauer-Schule. There was also the IT area and training in the hotel and restaurant industry. For the hotel and restaurant area, the school received an extension with a professional restaurant kitchen and the “Lago” restaurant.
Since the growing school needed more classrooms, an extension was built; the George Marshall House with the self-study center and the cafeteria on the ground floor was opened in 2011. The building ensemble in the semicircle around the pond through the gym, which is used by the Konrad-Adenauer-Schule as well as by Kriftel associations, was completed so far.
Since 2015 the Konrad-Adenauer-Schule has had a new type of school: "InteA" - "Integration through connection and graduation". Refugee schoolchildren receive German lessons here and are prepared for future vocational training.
