Today's Max Ernst Gymnasium (MEG) in Brühl is the first and oldest gymnasium between Cologne and Bonn . It was also the only one in the Cologne area until 1961 and, even after the Rhein-Erft district was formed in 1975, it remained its oldest grammar school.
history
The school system in the Rhineland did not improve until the French period and the Prussian period that began afterwards . In Brühl there was a boys 'school as early as 1816 (from 1818 in the Franciscan monastery) and some girls' schools that had several classes. In 1783, still in the time of the Electorate of Cologne , a first secondary school with an elementary class and a class for the preparation of higher studies was set up in the monastery buildings by order of Elector Maximilian Friedrich von Königsegg-Rothenfels . In 1807 the buildings were given to the French-managed Brühler Mairie in the canton of Brühl to set up an École Secondaire Communale . It was successfully continued as a private business school from 1812 until the death of the Cologne owner Caspar Schug in 1822. In 1865, a municipal higher boys' school was set up again, which was expanded into a Progymnasium in 1879 and in 1902 to a Gymnasium with a high school diploma . Until 1961, when the city of Hürth founded what was later to become the Ernst-Mach-Gymnasium Hürth , it was the only grammar school in the then Cologne district .
Surname
Since 1981, five years after his death, the municipal high school in Brühl has been called the Max-Ernst-Gymnasium. Max Ernst graduated from the grammar school in 1910. Ever since this name was given, the school has felt an obligation in its school program to the musical and humanitarian and to the open-minded tolerance associated with this name. Exchanges are organized with the French twin city Sceaux and with Israel .

As already mentioned, the grammar school had several predecessors in its 150-year history. The last one, the Städtische Gymnasium Brühl, was located in the former Friedrichstrasse (today An der Synagoge) until it was completely rebuilt on Rodderweg. The main building at that time in the historicist style was built in 1902 and a southern extension for the natural sciences in 1941. A large part of the school building of the former all-boys high school is still as it was a hundred years ago. Today it houses the St. Francis School, a primary school .
The new building was planned and built by Peter Busmann between 1962 and 1965 . The move took place on March 21, 1966. In 1967 the architect and the building were the first to receive the Cologne Architecture Prize . In autumn 2002 an extension to a four-class school with two building sections was completed. There was also an increase in the existing building with 13 classrooms and side rooms as well as a pavilion with classrooms, a library, a media room and a music room. As a special feature, the high school received a glass-roofed and intensely green inner courtyard as a year-round playground. Busmann was also responsible for the last extension, in 2011 a cafeteria.
Special equipment
The school operates a geological garden and stone casts of works of art and history on the school premises . In addition to the usual student library, the school maintains bibliophile rarities from the traditional teachers ' libraries, which were included in the series of historical book collections of the Federal Republic of Germany in 1990. This includes, for example, an edition of the Cronica van der hilliger stat von Coellen by Johann Koelhoff from 1499. An art library lists 130 art works.
special offers
Since the 2013/14 school year, the school has been able to offer career-oriented funding for middle school students through the Junior Engineer Academy sponsored by Deutsche Telekom AG .
Location, size
The school is located on Rodderweg in the west of Brühl and had exactly 1155 students in the 2011/12 school year.
