The Lise-Meitner-Gymnasium (LMG) is a high school in Hamburg-Osdorf . The school was founded in 1970 and was called Gymnasium Osdorf until 2006 . In 2007 the grammar school was named after the physicist Lise Meitner .

history

The high school was founded on April 1st, 1970. Initially, lessons took place in the classrooms of today's Goosacker secondary school . For the 1971/1972 school year only three classes stayed at Goosacker, the six others moved to Hemmingstedter Weg, where the ZSU (Center for School Biology and Environmental Education) is now located. At this point in time, the school already had 216 students without a fixed base.

The new building on Knabeweg was inaugurated on February 5, 1973. At the beginning of the new school year, however, there was again a lack of space on the site, which only consisted of an H-building, in which the majority of the students are still housed today. Due to the tightness, some classes had to move back to the ZSU. The lack of space was remedied in 1974 when a building for high school students (December) and a technical room building (April) were completed.

Construction of the school administration building was completed in May 1976.

Since 1976, 10th grade members have been traveling to Margate for language training for around one and a half weeks .

In 1981 a three-field sports hall was completed, which clubs can also rent for tournaments over the weekend. Since the sports hall is largely operated by photovoltaics and the Umwelt AG pays attention to cleanliness and environmental protection on the site, the school has been awarded the environmental school in Europe award several times .

2004/2005 the school was nearing its end: A plan of the Hamburg Education Authority foresaw the school Osdorf , the junior high school Goosacker and the primary school Wesperloh as Schulverbund Hamburg-West merge. The conversion to a comprehensive school was withdrawn amid strong protests from students, school management and parents. Since the school year 2005/2006, several school classes from Goosacker have been accommodated at the grammar school and the school management has been partially merged.

On January 1, 2007, the high school Osdorf was renamed Lise-Meitner-Gymnasium . The school name says it all, the grammar school deepens a mathematical and scientific profile.

Other things about school

  • The school radio is operated by students and plays music during breaks. Most of the time this happens irregularly, a fixed date is the second big break on Friday. The school radio has aroused the resentment of some residents several times, but this protest always had no consequences.
  • The school newspaper has only recently appeared again, in the 1990s the newspaper was called Na Und?! a constant. After a few years no newspaper was published because the operators of the newspaper had left school due to graduation, the new paper Osd Site Stories appeared for the first time in December 2006 . The school newspaper Lise Live has been published since 2015 .
  • Each year of high school graduation has been immortalized with a certain symbol on the site, for example with concrete castings, a flagpole, an advertising pillar or the letters ABI'99 on the upper level building.

School partnerships

The best maintained partnership is currently that with Lyakirimu Secondary School . Since 1991 there has been a lively exchange between the two schools. The Lise-Meitner-Gymnasium actively supports the school in the East African state with donations, from which the school bought a truck , among other things . In addition, the high school organizes a bazaar every two years, the proceeds of which go to the partner school.
