The Möser Realschule am Westerberg was founded in 1833. Today, teaching is carried out according to the curricular guidelines of a secondary school. The school is run by the city of Osnabrück .

The school

The Möser Realschule Osnabrück inner city was the first Realschule in Lower Saxony to offer bilingual instruction (bilingual instruction: English). Because of the language it offers, it became the first European school in the city of Osnabrück. Over the years the range of languages ​​has been expanded again and again. Schoolchildren can choose between French or Russian as the second compulsory foreign language. Italian was offered in working groups. In addition to Turkish, the school added Spanish to the timetable from the 2010/2011 school year. With the establishment of the first student company MöserWerk am Westerberg and the school medical service in the 2011/2012 school year, the Möser Realschule is breaking new ground. Students actively shape school life and are an integral part of the Möser community. From February 1, 2013 the school has a language learning class . Students with a migration background learn the German language here with special support.

history

At the beginning of the 19th century, Osnabrück had, apart from the two Latin schools (today the Carolinum grammar school and the Osnabrück Ratsgymnasium ), only parish schools of the Catholic and Protestant churches. As an alternative, the city's evangelical magistrate built a two-class preschool and a two-class secondary school with separate sexes in the city center, which together form a four-level institution and as a whole bore the name of the Bürgererschule .

Kingdom of Hanover

On May 1, 1833, the new school building at Ledenhof was inaugurated. To this end, the city hired 15 teachers for the 375 first-year students. In 1838 the school commission issued a printed “Message to the public about the current state of our community school”, in which it was particularly emphasized that the entire teaching of the community school was geared towards educating the children to be independent.

The German Imperium

When, as a result of the establishment of the German Empire in 1871, economic conditions took off and the population in Osnabrück grew rapidly, attendance at the school increased. In the following decades until after the First World War, the number of schoolchildren showed an upward trend in parallel with the population increase in the city. In 1910 the "Regulations on the Reorganization of the School System" appeared. She made the middle school in nine stages and called this school the "fully developed middle school". English remained the mandatory foreign language. During the First World War (1914–1918) there were no classes, the teachers were called up for military service. The school building served as a hospital and barracks.

Weimar Republic

Since 1920 the one-year examination has been dropped, in 1927 new regulations came into effect by decree of the Prussian Minister of the Interior. The final certificate attested middle school . Until the school half year 1926/1927 the school was called the Bürgererschule. The number of pupils rose steadily and made it necessary to found more schools. The school on Hakenstrasse was renamed Möser-Mittelschule by the city council after the city's famous son Justus Möser . It has had this name since October 1, 1927.

German Empire

During the Second World War, the roof of the building on Hakenstrasse was destroyed. The lessons continued. Many students from neighboring schools were taught in the building.

Federal Republic of Germany - until the turn of the millennium

At the beginning of the school year 1965/1966 (August 1, 1965), the middle school in Lower Saxony was renamed Realschule . The Möser Middle School was named Möser Realschule. On August 1, 1975, the orientation level was introduced as a new type of school in Osnabrück at individual locations, later this was done nationwide. The students were taught together for two years after the fourth grade of elementary school . Then they switched to a secondary school. At the Möser Realschule in 1975 only students in grades seven to ten were educated. The girls moved into a school building in the desert district and initially kept their school name Möser-Realschule II. The interim period of two Möser secondary schools ended in 1987 with the renaming of Möser secondary school II to Erich-Maria-Remarque secondary school and Möser secondary school Osnabrück downtown for the former Möser secondary school I.

The SOR-SMC logo

With the end of the orientation level in Lower Saxony in 2004, pupils of the 5th and 6th grade were accepted for the new school year. Since then, the school has included grades 5 - 10 in up to three years. At the same time, the city of Osnabrück relocated the school location and the school was named Möser Realschule am Westerberg . MINT-AG students created a geocache in the 2012/2013 school year . The multi-cache leads through Justus Möser's interesting stations in Osnabrück - each with a small explanation and puzzles in the station description. A first language learning class ( SLK ) was set up on February 1, 2013 , a second followed between August 1, 2015 and July 31, 2018 due to the high demand. It is led by a team of teachers who have a qualification in German as a second language ( DaZ ). Since 2015, the German Language Diploma of the Conference of Ministers of Education (short: German Language Diploma or DSD ) has been accepted at the Möser Realschule . With the title School without Racism - School with Courage (SOR-SMC), the Möser-Realschule 2015 became part of a Europe-wide network that pursues a common goal: to work together against all forms of discrimination, bullying and racism. The title, which is awarded by the organization SOR-SMC, is an award for work done so far and a commitment for the future. The initiative to obtain this title came from the student council of the Möser-Realschule. The football team of VfL Osnabrück (Verein für Leibesübungen von 1899 eV) supports the school's campaign as a sponsor.

School location

On May 1, 1833, a school building with two classrooms was built at Schützenwall 1–2 - today the Ledenhof area . On November 20, 1899, the city's magistrate decided to build a large school building in the center of the city, which should accommodate all boys and girls classes at the community school. The building site was the large house, Hakenstrasse 10 , bought by the city of Osnabrück , which had served Justus Möser as an apartment between 1775 and 1794 . On May 1, 1902, the Protestant boys 'secondary school and the Protestant girls' secondary school moved to Hakenstrasse in Osnabrück - with 871 boys and 624 girls. The new school building was opened with an inauguration ceremony with a church service in the neighboring St. Katharinen . Friedrich Lehmann contributed to the construction of the building as town planning officer. With the dissolution of the orientation level in Lower Saxony, the school landscape in Osnabrück was reorganized on August 1, 2004. Since the Möser Realschule had been in the school building on Hakenstraße for more than a hundred years, the idea of ​​tradition was very important to the school community. The city administration of Osnabrück finally gave in to the concerns of the old town elementary school about a possible neighborhood of a secondary school and favored the move of the Möser Realschule Osnabrück city center to the building of the former Hans Calmeyer orientation level (namesake: Hans Georg Calmeyer ) on Lotter Straße . A corresponding city council resolution was passed on July 1, 2003 for the following school year 2003/2004. The move also resulted in a name change. Möser-Realschule am Westerberg has been the official name since then - although Lotter Strasse belongs to the Weststadt district. But the Westerberg is only a few steps away. Students in grades five to ten are taught in a school building from the 1960s.

coeducation

Since it was founded in 1833, the pupils of the Möser Middle School have initially been taught separately for boys and girls. The two branches were merged after reform pedagogy in 1932. In 1941, by order of the Reich Government, the school was again divided into Möser Middle School for boys and Möser Middle School for girls, but both schools were still combined in one building. A vote by parents to introduce co-education at the school, which was required by the school administration office in 1975, was obtained by means of a written vote. Of 410 parents with voting rights, 368 took part (turnout of 89.75%). 359 parents voted for the introduction of co-education, that is 97.6%. In relation to the number of all eligible voters, this is also 87.6%. The conference as a whole voted on December 3, 1976, with one abstention, in favor of the introduction of co-education. With the introduction of co-educational teaching, girls have now also been admitted to the Möser Realschule for boys. At the same time, the parents were asked about a new name for the school after the introduction of co-education, as the school can no longer use the attribute "for boys". 362 of 368 parents were in favor of Möser-Realschule, which was 98.4% respectively. 88.3%. The school was named Möser Realschule I (location: Hakenstraße ), next to Möser Realschule II (location: Kromschröderstraße ).

Country school home

The parents of the Möser-Mittelschule founded a registered school association in 1929, the school community of the Möser-Mittelschule initially for the purpose of setting up and maintaining a school camp in the former Malgarten monastery near Bramsche (Lower Saxony). The funds for this were raised through donations and membership fees. On July 1, 1937, the school association leased a building in the monastery complex for twenty years and started operating the school campus. During the Second World War and in the post-war period, the building was used for other purposes. After a renovation, the Möser Middle School resumed operations in September 1950. When the lease expired at the end of 1956, the school camp was given up.
