The Louise Weiss Gymnasium ( Gymnasium Hamm until July 2020 ) is a gymnasium in the Hamburg district of Hamm . The grammar school, founded in 1986, is a European school and has been named after the European politician Louise Weiss since August 1, 2020 .

history

The grammar school was established in 1986 as a merger of the former Kirchenpauer grammar school with the grammar school Borgfelde .

The former Kirchenpauer grammar school on Hammer Steindamm

The Kirchenpauer School was founded in 1914 as Hamburg's third secondary school in Barracks on Hammer Steindamm , named after the former mayor Gustav Heinrich Kirchenpauer . In 1916 the company moved to the former Sieveking mansion in Hammer Park . From 1920 the school was a full institution. In 1923 the school moved to the former teachers' college on Freiligrathstrasse. At Hammer Steindamm 129, a new building for the school was built between 1928 and 1930 based on plans by Heinrich Bomhoff and Hermann Schöne . The school moved in in 1931. The three-wing building is located opposite the main entrance to Hammer Park and is a listed building. From 1943 to 1956 the school operations were wholly or partially outsourced, and in 1959 they returned to their own building as the Kirchenpauer grammar school. After the school was closed, the building has been used by the North German Academy for Finance and Tax Law since 1987 .

Former secondary school on Caspar-Voght-Straße, today a ballet center

Another previous school was the girls' upper secondary school at Caspar-Voght-Strasse 54, founded in 1931. The school was merged into the Caspar-Voght-Gymnasium in 1957 and in 1982 with the Kirchenpauer-Gymnasium. The building built by Fritz Schumacher has been used by the Hamburg Ballet School founded by John Neumeier since 1989 .

building

The school building on Ebelingplatz was built in 1974 based on designs by the building construction department for what was then the Borgfelde grammar school. The series school building "Type 68", also called "Double H" according to the floor plan, was built around 40 times between the late 1960s and the mid-1970s in what was then the outskirts and expansion areas of Hamburg. The three-story buildings consist of industrially prefabricated sandwich elements that were put together on site. The facades were originally clad with exposed aggregate concrete.

School profile

The Louise-Weiss-Gymnasium is one of four European schools in Hamburg. The grammar school begins with entry grade 5 and leads to the general higher education entrance qualification after eight school years . With the Abitur, students can acquire the European certificate developed by the school itself .

The catchment area of ​​the grammar school includes Hamm , Horn , Billstedt and Rothenburgsort . When the social index for Hamburg schools was surveyed in 2011, a social index of 2 was calculated for the Hamm high school on a scale from 1 (disadvantageous requirements of the student body, highest need for support) to 6 (best conditions, no need for support). In the 2016/17 school year, 89% of the students had a migration background , well above the average of all Hamburg high schools.
