history
The Kurt-Huber-Gymnasium emerged from the Oberrealschule founded in 1936 in Graefelfinger Maria-Eich-Straße and, according to its own account, is the oldest high school in the district of Munich. The first sponsor of the school was a school association , in 1938 the school sponsorship was taken over by the community and the school, like all upper secondary schools and secondary schools in the German Reich, was converted into a secondary school. In 1944 the school was closed by a department of the National Socialist Motor Vehicle Corps .
In November 1945 classes were resumed in four classes and in December of that year in all classes. In September 1955, the first section of the new building on Adalbert-Stifter-Platz was moved into, and the second construction phase was completed in 1959. Two years later, the playground and the school sports facility were laid out. In 1968 the third construction phase of the building followed, which included new music halls as well as specialist rooms for chemistry, physics and handicrafts and the break hall. In 1977 the college level was introduced, which two years later produced the first high school graduates . For this purpose, the building was expanded to include a college level building and a library.
In 1993 the local council approved the general renovation of the school house and the old gym, which began a year later. In the course of the work, new physics, chemistry and biology halls were built, as well as three new staircases and the caretaker's house, which were completed in 1995. In 1998 construction began on the new multi-purpose hall, which was inaugurated in June 2000. Another expansion of the building complex took place in 2008, when the school was supplemented by a cafeteria and a west wing with six new classrooms.
Naming
The grammar school was named in 1966 after the musicologist , philosopher and psychologist Kurt Huber . Huber was an associate professor at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich and lived in Graefelfing from 1938 until his execution in 1943. He became known as a resistance fighter of the White Rose resistance group against the Nazi regime, for which he wrote the leaflet distributed by the Scholl siblings in Munich University in February 1943, which was used to arrest and execute the group's six inner circle, including Hans and Sophie Scholl and Huber.
"Through the naming, the school children attending the grammar school should always be reminded of the time of totalitarianism and of a man who gave his life to restore the reputation of the German people in the world."
classes
The Kurt-Huber-Gymnasium is a linguistic gymnasium that provides for each student to learn at least three foreign languages . English is compulsory and must be chosen in the 5th or 6th grade, supplemented by Latin or French. From the 8th grade onwards, French or Spanish classes must also be taken. From the 10th grade onwards, there is the option of a fourth foreign language, Spanish or Italian, which are then taught as a substitute for the first foreign language.
The school also tries to establish new forms and methods of teaching. In 1999 she was accepted by the European Schoolnet into the European Network of Innovative Schools (ENIS) . The grammar school is also taking part in the MODUS F pilot project, which was introduced in 2007 , with the aim of improving the leadership qualities of school administrators in Bavaria . In 2012 and 2017, the status as a MODUS school was confirmed after an external evaluation by the Ministry of Culture and recognized for a further five years.
Elective classes
The elective courses offered by the Kurt-Huber-Gymnasium comprise five areas from which elective courses can be taken. The social area includes courses such as literary criticism, politics and contemporary history as well as the school newspaper , but also enables participation in the student co-administration (SMV) or the school medical service. In addition, participation in the environmental protection & school garden project or the technology team is offered in the field of natural science and ecology. The artistic area includes the courses in works, stage design and school play. Musically interested pupils can join the big band, the lower or middle and upper school choir as well as various school orchestras. Rowing and volleyball are offered as sporting activities .
School life
- Afternoon care
As part of the concept of the open all-day school , the school has been offering working parents of lower school students the opportunity to have their children looked after in the afternoons since 2011. The supervision is carried out by several teachers, supervisors and students of the tenth grade and starts after the end of the lessons in the regular school operation with lunch in the school canteen. The students are then supervised and supported in completing their homework during their studies before they can pursue sporting or other activities as part of the leisure program.
- Publicity
Due to the strong increase in the number of refugees in Germany from 2015 as a result of the refugee crisis in Europe , the grammar school, like many other schools in the district , accommodated asylum seekers . In the course of this, the triple gymnasium was provisionally converted to accommodate around 190 refugees temporarily from August to the end of 2015. Most of the refugees came from Syria and Afghanistan . The emergency shelter was closed at the end of 2015 because the total number of refugees was falling and other accommodation options were available. The residents were moved to a new building at the entrance to Graefelfing.
- Student work on contemporary history
In cooperation with the White Rose Foundation in Munich and with the support of the Bavarian State Center for Political Education , the Kurt-Huber-Gymnasium publishes the series of student papers on contemporary history at irregular intervals . It publishes noteworthy works by students , especially those in W or P seminars , who deal with the topics of National Socialism , resistance and the White Rose.
