The Max Slevogt Gymnasium is a state high school in Landau in the Palatinate . The school has had a special artistic orientation since it was founded, which has been expressed since 1975 by the impressionist Max Slevogt as the namesake. In addition, there is a pronounced European and Romance orientation.
history
After the Mayor of Landau had applied for a higher girls 'school to be established in 1873, it was opened in 1874 as the municipal higher girls ' school . The city council appointed the historian and playwright Christian Friedrich Maurer as the first director , who gave the school a scientific and artistic profile.
School operations began with four classes and 78 students at Königstrasse 23. In 1888 the school was relocated to its current location (then Nordring 7, today Hindenburgstraße 2).
This institution welcomed Jewish girls as students from the start. For them their own Jewish religious instruction was given, for which Rabbi Elias Grünebaum, who worked in Landau from 1838-1893, was initially responsible. After the rabbi's death, this position at the girls' school was advertised again through the Royal Bavarian District Office in Landau.
In 1938, the six-class girls 'lyceum was expanded into an eight-class full-service institution called the girls' high school with a domestic and, from 1939, a linguistic branch. With the school year 1947/48, the French grading system (20 points) was adopted in the then French occupation zone . Until 1952, you still took part in the central school leaving examination.
From 1950 on, the school also took in boys and was now called the Neusprachliches Gymnasium . In 1960 the state of Rhineland-Palatinate took over the school and expanded it. In 1967 an extension and a new school sports hall were inaugurated.
In 1971, French was introduced as the first foreign language. In the 1972/73 school year bilingual classes in geography began. With the school year 1973/74 the Mainz study level was introduced .
Since the end of the 1990s, like at five other grammar schools in Rhineland-Palatinate, it has also been possible to take the Franco-German Abitur (Abibac) at the Max Slevogt grammar school. The prerequisite for this is French as the first foreign language and attendance of the bilingual branch. In the upper level, French must be taken as a major, and the subjects history (Histoire) and geography (geography) are taught in French.
The Music Student Council has been offering the choir class since 2013. In grades 5 and 6, the subject of music is primarily conveyed through the voice and the "C-class" students form the choir of the orientation level. In addition, all string instruments can be learned in individual lessons, which lays the foundation for the numerous orchestral ensembles. In addition to several choirs and orchestras, there are also wind ensembles and the big band.
In May 2018 the MSG received the certificate "European School of the State of Rhineland-Palatinate".
Pedagogical orientation
The school has had a strong musical and artistic orientation since the beginning. The second headmaster, Carl Friedrich Müller-Palleske, a well-known Schiller expert at the time and a playwright valued in the Bavarian Palatinate, placed particular emphasis on theater. Later school principals set further accents:
Hilde Stelzenmüller opened the school to co-education , she gave it a new language and a musical direction. Georg Hagedorn reintroduced French as the first foreign language, founded the bilingual German-French branch, named the school Max Slevogts and emphasized the school's artistic and European profile.
Under the headmaster Hermann Brauner, who managed the school for a total of 27 years, the Abibac was introduced. The artistic and linguistic focuses were further developed and expanded under his leadership.
Under the direction of Rainer Rothe, the MSG became a training school for trainees, media competence school and campus school in connection with the University of Landau. As a supplement to the linguistic profile, the CertiLingua was introduced as a certificate of excellence. The newly established choir class supports the musical focus. The school's examination center for the European computer driving license (ECDL) is future-oriented.
School music
According to the artistic and musical orientation, the school has choirs, an orchestra and a big band. In 1980 a school orchestra won the state winner in the Rhineland-Palatinate school music competition in Mainz. Today the Max-Slevogt-Gymnasium is one of the schools with a distinct focus on music, which is reflected in many performances in school concerts, musicals and large oratorical works. The Big Band, the Upper School Choir and the Upper School Orchestra have an excellent reputation.
School partnerships
In 1973 a partnership was established with the French Lycée Hoche in Landau. Today there is a partnership with the Lycée international Georges-Duby in Luynes ( Aix-en-Provence , France) and the Lycée Ribeaupierre in Ribeauvillé (France).
The building
The large, three-storey Wilhelminian-style sandstone clinker building, now a cultural monument of the State of Rhineland-Palatinate, was built in 1887/88. The historic building is a private donation from Johann Lang, who was mayor of the city of Landau in the Palatinate from 1848 to 1857. A modern extension took place in 1967.
