The Lyonel-Feininger-Gymnasium is a high school in the municipality of Mellingen in the Weimarer Land district in the Free State of Thuringia . The building for grades 5 to 9 is in Buttelstedt . It was named after the German-American artist Lyonel Feininger , who had visited Mellingen and also found motifs for painting there.
School profile
In the high school with a high profile in mathematics and natural sciences, the pupils are to be educated in the tradition of the Bauhaus worldview for openness, practical relevance, creativity, willingness to experiment and internationality. English, French, Latin and Russian are offered as foreign languages. The school offers the Abitur after twelve school years ( G8 ).
The fate of the namesake in Germany gives rise to a particularly critical examination of the Nazi past. On the occasion of the 74th anniversary of the liberation of Buchenwald Concentration Camp , which is twenty kilometers from the school, the survivor Raymond Renaud was invited to a contemporary witness interview.
The school is one of only 45 schools in Thuringia that are members of the School without Racism - School with Courage network . The former Prime Minister Christine Lieberknecht took over the sponsorship .
After the city of Weimar could not bring itself to an honorary citizenship of the then still living Buchenwald concentration camp survivor and political activist Stéphane Hessel , the school organized the exhibition Against Forgetting for the 100th birthday of Stéphane Hessel in 2017 for his 100th birthday Kromsdorf Palace Chapel - two years later the square in front of the Bauhaus Museum in Weimar was inaugurated as Stéphane-Hessel-Platz.
