History and architecture

Former school building of the Elise-Averdieck-Schule at Wartenau 15, today HAW

The predecessor of today's grammar school is a private high school for girls that was founded in 1909. In 1911 this school was recognized as an upper lyceum . In 1913 the school was named after the writer Elise Averdieck and was henceforth called the Elise Averdieck School . From 1926 to 1939 the Elise-Averdieck-Schule was a recognized private secondary school for girls (OfM) "linguistic and domestic form", the building was located at Wartenau 13-15 in the Hohenfelde district . One month after the beginning of the Second World War , all non-public general education schools in Hamburg were closed on October 1, 1939, only five private or denominational schools were excluded and were nationalized. The Elise Averdieck School also belonged to these five schools, as well as the Wichernschule and Heilwigschule, which still exist today .

After 1945 a domestic and later a social studies branch was set up. In 1961 the Elise Averdieck School moved from Wartenau to Benzenbergweg in the Barmbek-Nord district . The former school building on the Wartenau was taken over by a special needs school , which moved out in 1982. After that there was a subsequent use by the HfBK . After the introduction of co-education , the first boys passed their Abitur at the Elise Averdieck School in 1978.

In 1987 the Elise Averdieck School merged with the Hartzloh Gymnasium , which had existed since 1970. In 1988 the school was named after Margaretha Rothe (1919–1945), a resistance fighter for the White Rose . The school has been called Margaretha-Rothe-Gymnasium since 1988 , and in the tradition of the Elise-Averdieck-Schule, the founding date is 1909.

The current location is at Langenfort 5, also in Barmbek-Nord (the former Benzenbergweg location is used by the Helmuth Hübener district school). The school buildings were completed in 1972 based on designs by the Hamburg Building Authority. In 1994 more new buildings were added. The main building of the school is a series school building of the "Type 68", also called "Double H" according to the floor plan. This series production was erected around 40 times in Hamburg between the late 1960s and mid-1970s. The buildings consist of industrially prefabricated sandwich elements that were put together at the construction site. The buildings are three-story and have a flat roof, horizontally they are structured in a grid of 1.80 m. The facades are clad with exposed aggregate concrete.

School profile

In addition to English , Spanish from grades 5 and 8, French and Latin from grades 6 and 8 are taught. In 2001, the MRG was the first school in Hamburg to introduce the option of choosing Spanish from grade 5.

Since 2010 the school has been participating in "TUSCH - Theater and School". In 2014, the students achieved an average Abitur of 2.48 and were 59th among Hamburg's high school graduates.

In 2013 the school won the “Hamburger Bildungspreis” of the Hamburger Sparkasse and the Hamburger Abendblatt with its school circus grapefruit .

In 2014 the school won first place in the nationwide Trialogue of Cultures competition organized by the Herbert Quandt Foundation with the motto “Build on yourself - grow on the foreign” . On June 26, 2015, the 100th edition of the newsreel ran in the auditorium of the grammar school . The newsreel at the grammar school has existed since 1998, the NDR had made recordings the day before. No other high school in Hamburg has its own transmitter.
