history

The facility was founded in 1874 as a "Realschule 1st order". In 1876 we started building our own school on the still relatively undeveloped stone gate field on the (old) Celler Heerstraße (today's Lister Meile ), but right next to the royal cell prison . It was not until the beginning of lessons in the new building in 1878 that the school received its current name and subsequently developed into the “Reformgymnasium”, which taught the languages ​​French, Latin and Greek in the grammar school train and English instead of Greek in the “Realgymnasiale train”. Since 1906, “external girls” have also been able to take the Abitur, but teaching was not yet co-educational.

For the 50th anniversary of the founding, former students and friends of the school handed over their own country home on the Burgberg in Gehrden (which the school sold again as dilapidated in 1964).

Shortly after the seizure of power by the National Socialists , the Leibniz school did particular: Fritz Heiligenstaedt , director of the school, deputy head of the municipal night school and director of the "Advisory Board for the popular library system in the province of Hannover" announced in 1933 for the purpose of book burning in Hannover the "cleaning" of his libraries. The school had already been chosen as the collection point for the books to be burned at the Bismarckian column.

In the Third Reich , the school became a pure high school for boys who, from 1937, were able to take their Abitur after just 12 years at school. In the Second World War , the upper school students were drafted into service as flak helpers . Due to the air raids on Hanover , the school building was 8/9. Largely destroyed in October 1943. However, food cards could still be exchanged here on the occasion of the first export fair in 1947 . As an alternative, teaching was held in the building of the former Elisabeth Granier School on Bonifatiusplatz until March 1945 . But this building too suffered war damage and was temporarily confiscated for other purposes. After the invasion of the Allies, the school was combined with the then Herschel School to form the United Leibniz and Herschel School in autumn 1945 . Classes were resumed in the Sophienschule building in the Zooviertel, only to be relocated to the Elisabeth Granier School in 1949 . In autumn 1947 the name of the school changed back to Leibniz School . In 1951, it was possible for the first time to offer stays in the school's own Nienstedt school camp in Nienstedt am Deister , which was brought in by the Herschel School . In 1954 the architects Karl Otto and Wilfried Ziegemeier completed the new building on Röntgenstrasse. In the same year, the State Theater opened a studio stage in the auditorium there. The outer wall of the auditorium was designed by Hermann Scheuertstuhl with a sculpture.

During the 1960s and early 1970s at the Leibniz School, which is still run as a boys ' school, the former student Wolfram Hänel wrote his autobiographical novel Klassentreffen under the pseudonym Kurt Appaz . Confessions of a former high school student .

In 1978, grades 5 and 6 were separated into the school-type-independent orientation level (until 2003). For the first time in school history, co-education has been taught since 1980 .

In 2010 the construction of the new Leibniz School began. The Kögel-Bau company from Bad Oeynhausen built two new school wings and a new sports hall. The entire new building complies with the Passive House Directive and was completed in 2011. After the completion of the last construction phase in summer 2012, all areas were reunited at the headquarters in Röntgenstrasse and the branch in Bothfeld was closed.

The Leibniz School is the most popular grammar school in Hanover. As part of the registrations for the secondary schools for the school year 2013/2014 at the beginning of June 2013, the Leibniz School once again received by far the largest number of registrations of all Hanover high schools. There were more than two registrations for each of the places to be allocated.

During the project week at the end of June 2013, an image film in the form of a lipdub was produced with the participation of all students and teachers . The film was awarded first prize in the 2012/13 Kulturkometen competition .
