The Martin-Rinckart-Gymnasium Eilenburg (MRGE) is a high school in the city of Eilenburg . It is sponsored by the Northern Saxony district . The MRGE was one of 57 pilot schools and is currently one of 108 schools in Germany and the German-speaking part of Belgium that award the European CertiLingua certificate . The catchment area of the school extends to the wider area of Eilenburg and extends to Mockrehna in the east, Thallwitz in the south, Jesewitz and Krostitz in the west and Bad Schmiedeberg in the north.
history
A higher middle school was opened in Eilenburg as early as 1865 , which was converted into a Realprogymnasium in 1882 . The school's rooms were no longer sufficient in 1900. As a result, it was decided in 1902 to build a new building for the expansion of the school into a secondary school , which was particularly supported by the then mayor, Alfred Belian . The building program also included a gym and a playground. The construction, which began in 1904, was entrusted to the city master builder Otto Lemke , who estimated the construction costs at 250,000 marks . In 1906 the new school building was inaugurated and a year later the school was officially recognized as a secondary school.
In the Weimar Republic attempts were made to turn the school into a teaching facility for capable children of all social classes. It should therefore only depend on the level of education of the student whether he is taught there and not on the parents' assets. Before, it was only possible for wealthy residents to have their children educated there. In 1926 the grammar school had the lowest number of pupils during its entire existence with 199 pupils, with the exception of the period of the two-year Abitur level during the years 1984–1989. A few years later the number rose again, as girls were first admitted to school in 1929. During the National Socialist era , the Nazi ideology was spread here too. In addition, since 1939 teachers and since 1942 also pupils were drafted into military service. As a result, some subjects were no longer taught and classes were combined with ten students. In contrast to most of the buildings in the city center, the grammar school was largely spared when it was fired in April 1945.
After the Second World War, the city administration (then the city council) was located in the building of the grammar school, as the district office (at that time council of the district) of the newly founded district of Eilenburg, which was founded in 1952, was located in the premises of the town hall. At the end of the 1950s, the restructuring into a general polytechnic high school began ; thus the focus was shifted to scientific and technical teaching content. In 1960 the school was named Extended High School (EOS), so that it was now possible to take the Abitur here, and in 1979 the name Friedrich Engels . It was the only EOS in the entire Eilenburg district . In the early 1980s, the ninth and tenth grades ran out and they were limited to grades eleven and twelve. In 1989 the school received the first computer cabinet in the entire Leipzig district . In October 1990 the name "Friedrich Engels" was dropped and two years later the name " Martin Rinckart " was adopted. In addition, the new course and point system was introduced in 1992. In 1993 a school radio is set up. In 2002 the high school was hit by the heavy flood, but was then extensively renovated. Due to the falling number of pupils, the Martin-Rinckart-Gymnasium first had to merge with the Albert-Schweitzer-Gymnasium in Bad Düben in 2002 and three years later with the Karl-August-Möbius- Gymnasium in Eilenburg-Ost . These three locations were in operation until summer 2008. After the Düben location was closed in the 2008/09 school year, the Dr.-Külz-Ring location was closed in the 2012/13 school year. Since then, the MRGE has been united on Hochhausstrasse in Eilenburg-Ost.
Educational work and offers
Languages and bilingual education
German, English, French, Russian and Latin are taught at the MRGE. International language diplomas can be obtained in the new languages and the Latinum in Latin . In addition, basic knowledge of Spanish can be acquired through a study group . Since the 2006/2007 school year, the school has been offering bilingual training from grade 7 . Parts of the social and natural sciences courses are taught in English. From grade 9 onwards, the French and Russian languages are also included in the bilingual training. To this end, the school cooperates with the Department of Subject Didactics of the Institute for English Studies at the Philological Faculty of the University of Leipzig . For example, lecturers at the University of Leipzig lead seminars and workshops , while at the same time student teachers in philological and social science subjects sit in and are involved in the design of the lessons.

Furthermore, the Martin-Rinckart-Gymnasium was accredited in 2008 by the Saxon Ministry of Culture as one of 57 pilot schools in Germany to participate in a Europe-wide project called CertiLingua . This is a “label of excellence for multilingual, European and international skills”. The school thus offers linguistically interested and talented students the opportunity to intensify their efforts, among other things. a. with stays abroad in order to receive a certificate in addition to the general higher education entrance qualification that certifies that the respective students special foreign language skills and intercultural competencies at a Europe-wide level and should facilitate their access to international universities.

building
history
The three-storey building of the high school on Hochhausstraße was built in 1963 as a type of school series SVB in the course of the development of a new residential area in the area of Torgauer Landstraße, Rosa-Luxemburg-, Puschkinstraße and Gabelweg . It is a late representative of the first school series of the GDR, which was built from 1953 to 1963. In contrast to all later type school buildings in the GDR, the type SVB is masonry. The access is single-hip, ie all classrooms are on only one side of the school corridor. The upper floors can be reached via a spacious staircase hall. With the original floor plan, the 20 classrooms had a size of 48 square meters (8 by 6 meters), the 6 specialist classrooms were 56 or 66 square meters (12 by 4.7 or 11 by 6 meters). The rooms were therefore small in comparison with both old school buildings and the subsequent GDR type school buildings. Around the 1990s, a three-storey extension was added on the east side, which replaced a possibly originally existing east wing. By 2012, the single-storey west wing from the time the building was built was torn down and a three-storey extension was built. The school now has a three-story building on a largely symmetrical U-shaped floor plan. Since 2012, the main entrance has no longer been via the central atrium of the original building, but via a newly created entrance from Gabelweg. There is barrier-free access for people with reduced mobility.
Initially, the Hans-Beimler-Oberschule was located in the Hochhausstrasse school building as a POS . After the reunification, the school was designated as a high school location and housed the Karl-August-Möbius-Gymnasium. After the merger with the MRGE and the closure of the main building in the city center, the building became the only high school location in Eilenburg.
The gym is a representative of the type series KT 60 L (so-called barrel hall). This type is characterized by its lightweight metal construction and the distinctive barrel-shaped roof made of rod network of the Ruhland type . It has a sports area of 562 square meters as well as changing and sanitary rooms on the south side; Technology and equipment rooms are located on the north side. The building probably dates from the 1970s and has since been extensively renovated.
Furnishing
There are a total of 26 specialist classrooms available in the building, twelve of which are for the linguistic, literary and artistic areas, ten for the mathematical, natural and technical areas and four for the social sciences. In addition, there are 13 further classrooms, two cabinets for computer science lessons, a cafeteria, two conference rooms, a staff room, a doctor’s room and administration rooms. All rooms in the building are equipped with an internet connection.
For physical education there is a single-field sports hall and various outdoor facilities on site. The grammar school also uses the two-field sports hall on Dr.-Belian-Straße.
Track record
In 2012, one hundred percent of the graduating class passed the Abitur . This result is both above the average within the Leipzig regional office of the Saxon Education Agency (97.9 percent) and above the national average (98.3 percent). The mean value of the Abitur examination grades and the Abitur certificate grades at the MRGE were also above average at 2.3 and 2.2, respectively. In the previous year, the exam results were rather below average. Also in 2012 there were 13 students (1.8 percent of the total number of students) who repeated a grade and 15 students (2.6 percent) who switched to middle school . There was no change to the Sächsisches Landesgymnasium Sankt Afra for the promotion of highly and multi-talented students in the school year in question.
All values are only partially meaningful about the educational quality.
Development of the number of students
| year | student |
|---|---|
| 1909 | 262 |
| 1926 | 199 |
| 1932 | 240 |
| 1943 | 244 |
| 1953 | 282 |
| 2006 | 990 |
| 2009 | 706 |
The number of pupils at the headquarters of today's MRGE was mostly between 200 and 300 pupils. From 1984 to 1989, when the school was an extended secondary school , the number of pupils was below 100, since in those years - according to the education system in the GDR - only the eleventh and twelfth grades were taught here. In 2006 the number of students was just under 1,000 due to the mergers. With the closure of the Bad Düben branch and against the background of the demographic development and the resulting declining number of students, the student body of the MRGE still comprised 706 high school students in the 2009/2010 school year.
