The Martin-Andersen-Nexö-Gymnasium Dresden ("MANOS") is a Dresden Gymnasium and the only one in the city with an in-depth mathematical and scientific education. It bears the name of the Danish writer Martin Andersen Nexø . Since 2008, the location has been the renovated school building of the former Joseph-Haydn-Gymnasium , which was closed in 2004 .

Deepened profile

The in-depth mathematical and natural science education, known as the "deepened profile ", represents a more intensive education in the field of natural sciences and mathematics than is usual at a regular high school.

This is realized through more weekly hours in the natural sciences and computer science as well as through projects in cooperation with the Technical University (TU) Dresden . In the 7th and 8th grade, a project week is carried out at the TU Dresden. In the 11th grade, a scientific paper is compulsory for every student of the advanced profile at an institute. In addition, 3 instead of the normal 2 advanced courses are taken.

As a result of this special promotion participants of the school in national and international are many years students Olympiads in mathematics , physics , chemistry and computer science have been successful, as well as the world number one and four-time gold medalist of the International Mathematical Olympiad , Lisa Sauermann .

history

Founding years

The need to set up a grammar school resulted from the development of Blasewitz from a village to a stately suburb of Dresden at the end of the 19th century . The establishment of the school began in 1903 at the existing citizen school . Soon there was a considerable lack of space, whereupon the architect Karl Emil Scherz presented the design of a new school building in Prohliser Allee (today Kretschmerstrasse) in 1904. After approval, construction began on May 21, 1907. The inauguration of the new building, then called Realgymnasium Blasewitz and today the seat of the State High School for Music , took place on April 30, 1908 in the presence of the Saxon King Friedrich August III. instead of.

In the early years, the school was both geographically and organizationally close to the Kreuzschule : at that time, both schools had the same principal . On the basis of humanism , the German classics , art and culture, daily events, but also - a sensation at the time - sexual hygiene were on the schedule.

Weimar Republic

Even before the First World War , there were plans to enable the upper classes to specialize in an ancient language and a mathematical and scientific direction. These were implemented from 1919.

During the years of the Weimar Republic , school operations initially experienced a crisis, which was due to the general famine and the effects of the inflationary period and which manifested itself in material shortages and a decline in the number of pupils. The founding of the Friends of the Realgymnasium Blasewitz eV in 1923 brought some relief. V. “, through which money was raised for the purchase of teaching materials. In 1925 a house in Kleingießhübel was even acquired as a school campus.

Around 1928, the curriculum began to be adapted to the changed societal and social framework conditions. Foreign language training was reduced to Latin and a second optional language. Physical training and math and science subjects were strengthened for this purpose - with the aim of developing a " new democratic elite ".

The global economic crisis once again led to a worsening of the economic framework, but also to an ideologization and organization of the student body in associations and leagues.

time of the nationalsocialism

The takeover of power by the National Socialists initially had no direct impact on the curriculum, however, as in the rest of the country, the subjects history and biology were used to spread racist and social Darwinist ideas. Physical training and military training moved more and more to the fore.

During this time the high school was renamed “Schillerschule Blasewitz” in 1938.

From 1943 pupils were deployed as flak helpers for the air defense of Dresden, later also as helpers in armaments factories. Many were also drafted into the Wehrmacht . School operations practically ended in autumn 1944. On February 13, 1945, the roof of the school building was damaged during the air raid on Dresden .

Reconstruction after the Second World War

School lessons were resumed on October 1, 1945 at the Schillerschule , still separately for boys and girls, and were distributed to several school buildings and premises in factory buildings in the area. The original schoolhouse was subsequently repaired with the help of the students. In the post-war years there was hunger, cold and a lack of teachers. Lessons took place in two shifts, including on Saturdays.

Because of the Schiller School of the same name in Dresden-Loschwitz, Fidelio-F.-Finke-Straße 15, this school was renamed Oberschule Dresden-Ost , or OsOst for short , around 1950 and the Schiller bust on the 1st floor was removed. The so-called advanced classes, which followed eight years of elementary school and two years of secondary school, were new. The linguistic and mathematical-scientific specializations were reintroduced. In 1949 the separation of boys and girls was lifted.

In 1954 the school was named Martin-Andersen-Nexö-Oberschule . In the course of a school reform in 1959, it became an extended secondary school (EOS, 9th-12th grade) with the option of completing a combination of high school diploma and training for skilled workers.

A memorial was erected in front of the school on June 26, 1969, to the namesake.

History of the school location on Haydnstrasse

The school building on Haydnstrasse, which was taken over in 2008, has had an eventful history. On April 6, 1907, the structural handover of the very modern and generously designed building by Hans Erlwein took place . As a result of the Second World War, the building of what was then the 24th elementary school was badly damaged. In 1967 the school was given the name Johannes R. Becher . After the political change , the school was renamed the Dresden-Striesen Gymnasium . The former 87th POS in Niederpoyritz also belonged to the school as a branch . In 1997 the school was given the name Joseph-Haydn-Gymnasium as part of the celebrations for its 90th anniversary . In the wake of the sharp drop in the birth rate after 1989, organized school closings were decided, which also affected the Joseph-Haydn-Gymnasium. The last students left the branch in 2003 and the main building in summer 2005, which at that time was in dire need of renovation. Most recently (from 2004) the school was formally part of the Hans-Erlwein-Gymnasium . Due to a changed demand situation, however, the building was renovated and reopened in 2008 for the school operation of the Manos.
