The Ludwig-Meyn-Gymnasium ( LMG ) is the high school in the Schleswig-Holstein city ​​of Uetersen .

The grammar school was opened in 1923 as a boarding school for foreign students. It got its name from the German agricultural scientist , soil scientist , geologist , journalist and mineralogist Ludwig Meyn . In 2018 it was visited by about 1200 students who are taught by 97 teachers. As a result of a decision by the school conference, pupils who will start school in the fifth grade from summer 2018 will be taught in the nine-year course ( G9 ). Previously, since 2008, regular school time up to the Abitur at the LMG was eight years ( G8 ).

history

In 1873, the first Prussian teacher training college in Schleswig-Holstein was founded in Uetersen. For this purpose, the present main building was built in 1877/78 according to designs by the Berlin architect Gustav Knoblauch, made of yellow brick masonry in the style of historicism with Gothic design features, the front view of which is strictly symmetrical and the central entrance and the central south wing were highlighted. In 1923 the seminar was closed again and the advanced school founded, from which the third grammar school in the Pinneberg district, the Ludwig-Meyn-Schule, emerged on March 18, 1929. The boarding school, which is now used as a teaching building for the upper school, was closed in 1971. In 1974 a sports hall was built that provides three fields for sports activities. The current lower level building on Richthofenstrasse was inaugurated in 1983. In 1998 the inauguration of the extension to the upper level building, which also houses the computer rooms, took place. From March 2008 to October 2009, renovation work was carried out on the 3000 m² roof area after harmful molds had been found. Also in the auditorium and the underlying staffroom was dry rot found. At the beginning of 2010, construction work began on the cafeteria of the Ludwig Meyn School and the neighboring Rosenstadt School. In 2010 the name was changed from Ludwig-Meyn-Schule to Ludwig-Meyn-Gymnasium. Since 1976, the Ludwig-Meyn-Gymnasium is because of its special architectural, historical and urban value as a cultural monument under monument protection . The sponsorship of the school was handed over to the city of Uetersen in 2011 by the Pinneberg district .

The grammar school is named after the agricultural scientist and soil scientist Ludwig Meyn (1828–1878). In 1854 Meyn took over a sawmill in Uetersen and founded a factory for building materials and fertilizers.

Various activities are offered at the Ludwig-Meyn-Gymnasium, including in working groups. Many working groups have a musical background. The LMG large choir joins the lower school choir for pupils in the 5th and 6th grade; there singers are united up to the Abitur class. There is also a brass group for beginners and advanced players, a guitar group and the Ludwig Meyn band. For pupils in the 5th to 10th grade, a so-called music branch is offered for each year, in which theory is also taught.

In the sporting area, dancing, gymnastics, badminton, table tennis, volleyball, university hockey, inline hockey and soccer are offered. Some of these offers take place together with the Rosenstadtschule Uetersen.

Creative writing, an art group, the lower level theater or the big theater can be visited. In the scientific area there is Jugend forscht and BioWISSENschaft, in the general area there is a Fairtrade AG, the mediators, an aquarium AG, Japanese lessons, a chess AG and a regional history AG. The media offerings are MeYnungsFreiheit and MeynInfo . Most of the time teachers are in charge, less often students.

In addition to this large number of working groups offered, the LMG has three so-called student companies . These are small businesses run by schoolchildren, in which the volunteer participants should be taught a variety of business and organizational skills. The Young & Fair student team has been a service provider for individually printed, fair-trade textiles made from organic cotton since 2012, while meynproduction specializes in media products, especially the production of image films. SchoolStuff operates a vending machine at the LMG, which pupils can use to purchase school supplies and snacks.

successes

In 2005 the Ludwig-Meyn-Gymnasium was chosen as an environmental school in Europe . After numerous campaigns with many courses or with the entire school on the subject of the environment, an application was made to be an environmental school in Europe. One project was the LMG future forest, for which many classes used their hiking days to plant trees on the Krückau and thus make a contribution to nature conservation. Three high school graduate courses also worked on the development of the LMG future forest, so that there are now 1,100 deciduous trees suitable for the location. The aim of the measure is to accelerate the formation of natural forests on the fallow land by initial planting. This allows the Krückau to become a forest stream again, in which the water becomes increasingly cleaner due to the filtering effect of the forest.

In 2006 and 2007 the Ludwig-Meyn-Gymnasium was awarded the title We work in a network! awarded, in 2008, 2009 and 2010 with the title We provide impulses! , both awards within the framework of Agenda 21 , a global development and environmental policy action program for the 21st century.

The school has also been successful in the field of sport. In 2010 she competed in the cross-country run with numerous runners and was able to secure places in the top performance. The high school soccer players were just as successful. Thanks to their performance at Jugend trained für Olympia (JtfO) they were represented in the national finals in Berlin, where they came 11th out of 380 teams. Also within the framework of the JtfO, the table tennis players reached eighth of sixteen places in the fight for the national championship title in 2011.

Communication in school

In order to improve communication within the school, as required in the school profile, and to make the activities at the school visible, the school newspaper Meyn Info was launched. This has been published four times a year since August 2004 and online since October 2009. At times, the school newspaper MeYnungsFreiheit and the podcast MeyNews that arose from it reported from the pupil's point of view on the latest from everyday school life , but they are no longer active. In addition, as part of the compulsory elective courses for the eighth and ninth year, changing journalistic projects take place, for example the online school newspaper Meyne Allgemeine or the podcasts Meynungsfreiheit TV and UetersenTV .
