The Leibniz School at Wiesbaden's Zietenring is a grammar school in the Westend district . About 80 teachers and trainees teach about 1100 students. The school was named after the philosopher Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz .
history
The upper secondary school for boys on Zietenring was built between 1903 and 1905 by the city master builder Felix Genzmer . From 1956 it was run as a Gymnasium Leibnizschule Wiesbaden and later also took on girls ( co-education ). The Leibniz School was one of the first schools in Hesse to offer a G8 branch . Since 2001 the school has had the state certificate "School with a focus on music". On September 6, 2002, the new building for grades 5 to 7 of the Leibniz School was inaugurated. This building was built about 100 meters from the main building to avoid the lack of classrooms. Since the completion of the general renovation in 2010, the Leibniz School has been equipped with modern (specialist) rooms, technology, a well-equipped auditorium, a cafeteria and a cafeteria, which has been given an architecturally remarkable space in the former sports hall.
Technical focus
In 2012 the Leibniz School was one of 212 schools nationwide (as of 2015) to receive the MINT certificate. There are several afternoon offers in this focus area, such as the MINT-AG, robotics , computer science, etc. In addition, the Leibniz School has been cooperating with the RheinMain University since 2015 and has been a member of the "School 3.0" network of the Center for Chemistry since 2014. The students regularly take part in MINT-oriented competitions (within the school as well as nationwide), such as the Leonardo Award and the state-wide mathematics competition in which the Leibniz School has been successful for several years.
Musical focus
In 2010 this focus was again awarded to the Leibniz School by the State of Hesse. It offers u. a. with the introduction of an "ensemble class" per school year, a concept of expanded music lessons. The advanced music course is also part of the profile. The Leibniz School has the oldest school ensembles in the state capital (orchestra since the 1950s, big band since the 1960s) and has always been perceived by the public as a cultural contributor.
Of the music groups at the Leibniz School, the big band in particular has caused a sensation in recent decades: concert tours to England, Spain, Italy, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Finland and Sylt, and successes in the Hessian youth jazz competitions (including 2001: 1. Prize, 2011: 2nd prize) and a 2nd place at the 3rd HR Bigband Competition in the Hessischer Rundfunk 2008.
Sporting successes
- 3rd place at the national finals in 2005 among young people trained for the Olympics in table tennis.
- Reaching the national finals in 2007 among youth trained for the Olympics in the table tennis category.
Other awards
In November 2008, the school received the Hessian Integration Prize from Prime Minister Roland Koch and Minister for Social Affairs Silke Lautenschläger for the "Crossing the Bridge" project , a sponsorship project in which girls help younger classmates from migrant families .
