The Lessing-Gymnasium Winnenden is a general education G8 - Gymnasium with linguistic and scientific features in the (neuter) sponsorship of the city of Winnenden in Baden-Württemberg. Together with the Albertville Realschule Winnenden , the Robert Böhringer Community School and the Haselstein School, it belongs to the municipal education center II. The grammar school is named after the writer and philosopher Gotthold Ephraim Lessing (1729–1781).
history
After it became clear in 1973 that the existing grammar school in Winnenden would not be sufficient in the future, a new grammar school was built on Albertviller Strasse. In 1975 the "Gymnasium im BZ II ( Progymnasium )" started operations as a spin-off from the existing Gymnasium Winnenden (today: Georg-Büchner-Gymnasium ) with 277 children in eight classes at levels 5–7. In 1979 the second construction phase of the school, now called Lessing-Gymnasium Winnenden, was completed. After one year was added each year , the first high school graduates left the Lessing Gymnasium in 1982.
In 1981 the first student exchange took place with Mårslet Skole , a secondary school in Århus municipality in Denmark , which still takes place annually and is therefore the longest-running student exchange ever at a Danish school.
In July 2019, the renovation of the Lessing-Gymnasium in Winnenden began. During the major renovation, half of the students have to be taught in containers at the Wunnebad , the other half remain in the school building during the construction period. According to architect calculations, the renovation will cost 17.3 million euros. The city is receiving a refurbishment grant of 4.6 million euros from the state. A prerequisite for the renovation was that Winnenden renounced the construction of a community school.
