The Martin-Schongauer-Gymnasium Breisach (MSG) in the southern Baden city of Breisach is a general educational high school. Its name goes back to the painter and copperplate engraver Martin Schongauer , who, among other things, was commissioned to paint the Last Judgment in St. Stephen's Cathedral in this community .

The Martin-Schongauer-Gymnasium has been recognized as an all-day school since the school year 2008/2009 . The lower school students can choose between full-time care or homework care.

The Martin-Schongauer-Gymnasium maintains a school partnership with the Lycée Bartholdi in Colmar .

Location and catchment area

The school building is located in the south of the village near the Rhine . In addition to Breisach, the students come from the surrounding communities at Kaiserstuhl , Tuniberg and Alsace . The closest high schools are in the cities of Freiburg im Breisgau and Bad Krozingen, which are over 15 km away .

history

The four-storey building, in which the school was later to be housed, was built in 1838/39 by the merchant Benedikt Herbst as the luxury hotel "Zum Rheinbad". It had its own bathing establishment, which was located directly on the landing site of the first Rhine steam ships. Almost 10 years after its construction, the hotel, which had already been abandoned, was used as an officers' barracks for Prussian infantry and hussar units from 1849 to 1851. They were stationed in Breisach after the suppression of the Baden Revolution .

From 1864, the priest Andreas Leuthner (born November 26, 1830 in Kurzell ), who had previously taught at the grammar school in Donaueschingen , ran a private teaching and educational institute on the premises . The building was purchased by Freiherr von Schätzler. In 1869, proceedings were initiated against Leuthner on suspicion of abuse of young people, which was followed by church disciplinary proceedings. He first fled to Jerusalem and was sentenced to 15 years in prison in 1870. However, he was rehabilitated in 1878 after one of the main witnesses wrote a relieving letter to the Chapter Vicariate in 1876.

Meanwhile, from the private teaching and educational institution in 1870 the archbishop's seminary “St. Xavertus ”, which lasted until it had to close in 1874 as a result of the Badischer Kulturkampf . In 1875 it was reopened as the "Higher Citizens School" by the city of Breisach, which in 1877 acquired the building. In 1906/7 it became a secondary school , which in 1937 was renamed the "Martin Schongauer School".

As a result of an air raid on the Breisach – Neuf-Brisach Rhine bridge on November 18, 1944, the school was badly damaged and burned down completely on the night of February 8. The reconstruction took place between 1954 and 1956, before the school became the "Martin-Schongauer-Gymnasium" in 1966. The district of Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald took over responsibility for the school in 1975.

The main building was erected in the early 1970s. In the first years of the new millennium, four classrooms were built in the school yard (“pavilions”), the cafeteria was built and an extension was added to the old building. This brought six classrooms and two workshops for teaching the subject of “science and technology”. Further expansion and renovation measures followed.

In the 2011/12 school year, the last 9-year high school graduate graduated.

degrees

At the Martin-Schongauer-Gymnasium, both the Abitur and the German-French double degree AbiBac can be acquired. When registering, the parents decide for their child between "French bilingual" or "French normal"; a later change is also possible.

Goal: Abitur

All pupils at the Martin-Schongauer-Gymnasium begin their high school career in grade 5 with the foreign languages English and French.

From grade 8 onwards there is the option of starting Spanish or Latin as a third language with four hours per week. As an alternative to the language profile, the natural science profile ( natural science and technology , abbreviated to NwT) can be selected.

At the end of grade 10, there are further options for the course level (grades 11 and 12), whereby at least one previously attended foreign language and the basic subjects mathematics and German must be continued from the main subjects.

Goal: AbiBac

Since the school year 1994/95, French can also be visited in a bilingual train, which enables the pupil to complete the double qualification Abitur and Baccalauréat , the so-called AbiBac . Here, in grades 5 and 6, the linguistic basics are first created in a 5-hour French lesson.

From grade 7 onwards, the subjects geography, history and social studies are gradually taught in French. From the 10th grade, these subjects are taught in French only.

In addition to the bilingual lessons, student exchanges and project work with the French partner schools are carried out. There is also the possibility for the students of the bilingual train to attend a French school for a few weeks or months.

In the final examination, the AbiBac , the candidates are examined in writing as part of the central high school diploma in French (5 hours) and in history (4 hours, in French) and, in addition, verbally in French. This special course is based on a German-French agreement from 1994.
