The Kurt Tucholsky School (KTS) in Flensburg - Tarup is a community school with an upper level . Since 1993 it has been called the " European School ".
history
The school was founded in 1973 with a provisional location in Husby and a few years later as the Cooperative Comprehensive School Flensburg-Adelby (KGS Adelby) with the modern concrete building on Richard-Wagner-Straße in a green setting. After 17 years as a so-called special school, it was not until the change of government in 1988 and the new school law implemented by the new SPD state government under Björn Engholm that it was possible to classify it as a regular school . With the beginning of the 2010/11 school year, the Kurt Tucholsky School is officially a community school.
renaming
In 1993 she was given the name Kurt Tucholsky at the request of the students . The initiative for this came from the then student Marco Kühnert in 1990/91. After lengthy internal school debates, the school conference decided with 23:21 votes to give the name against the declared will of the school management, which was, however, bound by the resolution. The conference resolution only had the status of an application to be sent to the school authority (Schleswig-Flensburg district). After the school committee of the district had voted 5: 4 in favor of the naming, resolutions of the district committee (CDU majority) and the CDU district administrator initially prevented implementation. However, the naming was ultimately enforced at the highest level of the district, the Schleswig-Flensburg district council, by the majority groups of the SPD and SSW. The school management tried to prevent a name change until the end. The Schleswig-Holstein Ministry of Education as the supervisory authority gave its approval, which brought the naming process to a successful end in 1993.
Catchment area
Although located in the independent city of Flensburg, the KTS is a school in the Schleswig-Flensburg district . The catchment area is the primary schools in Glücksburg (Baltic Sea) , Munkbrarup , Langballig , Husby and Flensburg-Tarup. Children from other primary schools can only start school here if there are free places.
