The Lion-Feuchtwanger-Gymnasium Munich (abbreviated LFG ) is a municipal high school with a scientific and technological profile in the Milbertshofen district of Munich . The name goes back to the Munich playwright Lion Feuchtwanger . With 789 students and 74 full-time teachers, the grammar school is medium-sized. The high school is characterized by a high proportion of students with a migration background , which is also reflected in the school's motto, Success through Diversity .

location

The school planned by the architect Hans Jürgen Schmidt-Schicketanz is located in the north of Munich in the Milbertshofen district directly on the Petuelring , a tunneled section of the Middle Ring . The Nymphenburg-Biederstein Canal , which is embedded in the Petuelpark, runs south of the street . The green corridor, designed as a park, lies partly on the Petuel tunnel and connects the districts of Milbertshofen and Schwabing-West . The school property is developed via Freiligrathstrasse, which runs parallel to the Ringstrasse. In the east there is a small-scale allotment garden which extends to Eduard-Schenk-Straße.

history

In May 2012 the grammar school sent 90 students to help out at the Special Olympics held in Munich . In 2017, the high school received a sponsorship award from the Education Foundation of Stadtwerke München for its educational concept of individual support for students .

Naming

The school is named Lion Feuchtwangers to commemorate the German-Jewish and anti-fascist writer from the Weimar Republic .

When teaching began in 1979, the school still had the sober name of Gymnasium am Petuelring .

The Munich city council also played an important role in the name discussion between teachers, students and the parents' council . First of all, the CSU parliamentary group advocated the former Chancellor Konrad Adenauer as the namesake . The SPD , however, spoke out in favor of the SPD politician and former Bavarian Prime Minister Wilhelm Hoegner . Even Ludwig Erhard and the Bavarian comedian Karl Valentin was recommended as a namesake.

The deputy headmistress, Ingrid Rohn-Voelz, campaigned for the name Lion Feuchtwanger. His wife Marta Feuchtwanger , who lives in exile in California , was also contacted and asked for her consent. She felt it was a great honor and a "sign of the goodwill that Germany is now showing its former fellow citizens".

However, other names were proposed by the parties of the Munich City Council, and the school was given its current name in 1982, with the pupils and the deputy director ultimately prevailing. They deliberately defied the custom of the time of naming their high school after a politician in accordance with party proportion. This naming process is also part of the school history of the Lion-Feuchtwanger-Gymnasium.

Learning concept

A modern teaching concept is used in the LFG, whereby the individual support is improved and the self-responsibility of the students in the learning process is strengthened. The teachers take on a new role. You become a learning partner and not only impart knowledge or correct the adolescents. The targeted learning support helped numerous students with a migration background to successfully complete their Abitur.

collaboration

There is a collaboration between the Biology Didactics Chair at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich and the grammar school.
