The Melanchthon-Gymnasium Nürnberg is a state humanistic high school in the Nuremberg district of Wöhrd . It was set up in 1526 by Philipp Melanchthon as a secondary school form between attending Latin school and studying at a university , and after the closure of the Ernestinum Gotha is considered the oldest grammar school in German-speaking countries. Today the grammar school is one of the last schools in Bavaria to exclusively focus on the humanistic branch, i. H. Offers Latin as a first, English as a second and ancient Greek as a third foreign language. The school's logo is the owl of Athena and the death mask of the school founder.

history

Entry of humanism

Since Nuremberg did not have a university, its management was commercially oriented and thus was critical of the humanists, the intellectual climate of the city was initially rather unfavorable for the acceptance of humanism . In the course of the training to which the patrician sons were sent to humanistic Italy, his ideas gained an ever greater influence on the imperial city .

With the decision of the council in March 1496 to set up a school for poets , building on the four Latin schools of St. Sebald, St. Lorenz, Heilig Geist and St. Egidien, a new school was created that was oriented towards humanistic principles independently of the ecclesiastical influence. Heinrich Grieninger from Munich, who had studied in Italy and had a good knowledge of Latin, Greek and Hebrew literature, was appointed to manage the school. In 1509, however, the school had to be closed due to a lack of pupils, because the two church schools of St. Sebald and St. Lorenz themselves opened a course in poetry and oratorio based on humanistic principles.

Philipp Melanchthon (1543), co-founder and namesake of the school

In August 1518 Philipp Melanchthon came to Nuremberg for the first time during a visit from the councilor and humanist Willibald Pirckheimer , with whom he was in constant correspondence both before and afterwards. With Hieronymus Baumgartner , a young patrician returned to the city in 1523 from his many years of study from Wittenberg under Melanchthon to play a decisive role in shaping Nuremberg's politics, especially church and school politics. In 1524 Martin Luther published his letter to the councilors of all cities in Germany, which they should set up and maintain Christian schools. Nuremberg was one of the first cities to react: In response to the desire to establish a new secondary school as a transition from Latin school to university, the council decided on October 18, 1524, before Nuremberg had openly converted to Lutheran teaching, Melanchthon for school instruction to win in town. On the one hand, this transitional school was intended to provide Latin school leavers with a more thorough knowledge of Greek and Latin literature, which professors at the universities repeatedly criticized, but on the other hand, it also enabled the often very young students not to have to leave their hometown at the age of 13 or 14 . Baumgartner was entrusted with the negotiations, but Melanchthon rejected his offer because he felt he belonged to Martin Luther and the University of Wittenberg .

In September 1525, the council asked Melanchthon again, this time with the request to help found a new school. After his commitment, which was approved by his sovereign Elector Friedrich the Wise , he returned to Nuremberg in November 1525 with his friend Joachim Camerarius . He had planned this as the principal of the new school and discussed the curriculum with him and the council and began looking for new teachers for the school. In addition to the management of the school, Joachim Camerarius took over the Greek teaching position, Helius Eobanus Hessus the teaching of Roman poetry, Michael Roting the training in Latin rhetoric and dialectics, and Johannes Schöner teaching mathematics.

On May 22, 1526 all citizens were informed about the establishment of a new school. She was housed in the former monastery on Egidienberg, whose Scots monks had moved out in 1525 and where the St. Egedien Latin School was already located. The council urged citizens to send talented children there at the city's expense. Thus the so-called “Upper School”, “High School” or “Patrician School” was set up as the first school in Germany based on the humanistic principles of Philipp Melanchthon, who had designed its study regulations with the newly introduced subjects Greek and mathematics. At the invitation of the council, Melanchthon came to Nuremberg for the third time on May 23, 1526, where he opened the upper school near St. Egidien with a speech in Latin .

“Because for the cities it is not the bulwarks or walls that are reliable protective walls, but the citizens who are characterized by education, cleverness and other good qualities. The Spartans say the walls should be made of iron, not stone. But I am of the opinion that a city should not be defended so much by weapons as by wisdom, prudence and piety ... "

- Philipp Melanchthon : On the opening of the "Upper School near St. Egididen" in Nuremberg, May 23, 1526

After a few years, the company suffered from the fact that Hesse went to Erfurt in 1533 and Camerarius to Tübingen in 1535. The rest of the work consisted of one hour of mathematics by Johannes Schöner and one hour of Greek by Michael Roting per day. After Schöner's resignation due to illness, Joachim Heller took over the mathematics. In 1552 Melanchthon came back to the city and gave 30 lectures in the auditorium of the upper school.

The previous Egidi school was continued as a trivial school (Latin school), which opened access to the upper school.

Relocation to Altdorf

The University of Altdorf in 1714 (in the back the college building (built in 1575), on the left the east wing (1582), in front the gatehouse (1583))

After a letter from the founding rector Joachim Camerarius to the council in 1565, in which he proposed the relocation of the St. Egidien grammar school to a location near Nuremberg, a delegation from the Nuremberg council decided in favor of Altdorf near Nuremberg .

The foundation stone of the college building, the financing of which was secured by donations from Nuremberg patricians, took place on September 30, 1571. In return, the donors received a right of residence for their student sons. On June 29, 1575, the Egidien-Gymnasium was inaugurated under the name "Nürnberger Landschule" in Altdorf, where the distraction for the students was not so great. In 1578 the school was elevated to an academy. Nuremberg representatives at the imperial court in Prague had been awarded this title . In the following years the east wing with the largest lecture hall (1582) as well as the gatehouse with a bookstore and the pedell's apartment (1583) were built.

In 1622 the academy was elevated to the University of Altdorf by imperial privilege and teaching was separated between the school and the university. The term grammar school was first used for school. At the same time, a schola privatae was established in Nuremberg, which was based on humanistic ideas and competed with the former rural school in Altdorf, now known as the grammar school. Its importance and school discipline lapsed.

In 1633 the grammar school was relocated from Altdorf to Nuremberg and merged with the local Schola privatae. The "Gymnasium Aegidianum " again used the buildings of the former Egidien monastery and was a school that placed particular emphasis on a modern educational canon. From 1639 to 1642 the so-called auditorium magnum was added , in which, in addition to teaching, university-style lectures were offered. After the school building was destroyed by fire in 1696, the school moved to the new building at Egidienplatz 10 in 1699.

When the imperial city of Nuremberg was incorporated into the Kingdom of Bavaria , the Egidiengymnasium was nationalized in 1808. The philosopher Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel , who reformed the grammar school in 1810 as part of the great humanistic renewal of the 19th century, was appointed rector . In 1874 the Latin school and grammar school were combined to form a nine-class humanistic grammar school. Due to the increased number of pupils, the high school was divided into a Royal Old High School (today: Melanchthon High School) and a Royal New High School in 1889 .

Relocation to Sulzbacher Strasse

In 1911, due to extreme lack of space, the old grammar school relocated to a new Art Nouveau building on Sulzbacher Strasse, the construction of which was approved by the Bavarian state in 1908. The city had inherited the building site from the Merkel family in 1905 and sold it in 1909 to a representative of the Bavarian state to build a new grammar school for 280,000 marks. The first girls attended school in 1925. In 1933 the old grammar school was renamed “Melanchthon grammar school” .

After the Second World War

Between 1946 and 1959 the Melanchthon-Gymnasium was also home to the Oberrealschule on Wölckernstrasse (today: Martin-Behaim-Gymnasium ), the school building of which was completely destroyed in an air raid on January 2, 1945. Due to the temporary closure of the Ernestinum Gotha, founded in 1524, from 1947 to 1991, the Melanchthon-Gymnasium has been the oldest grammar school in the German-speaking area since 1949.

In 1976 the grammar school celebrated its 450th anniversary. In the 1970s, the school building was expanded to include a modern extension and a two- story gymnasium . During the generation of the baby boom , buildings in the area were also rented. Some rooms from an extension of the neighboring headquarters of the Bavarian Red Cross were used. In 2007, a new building for all-day care was built on the property of the Melanchthon grammar school. A three-storey new solid construction was built with a foyer, two media workshops and five group rooms for leisure activities. The new areas should be used as part of the eight-year high school (shortened course - G8 ) and take account of the growing number of pupils. One of the school's trademarks is an old VAG tram that was parked in the school yard and serves as a school cafe. As a special feature, the school offers a study trip to Greece for all 10th grade students . The school also has a school orchestra, a chamber choir and a large choir as well as a big band and a vocal ensemble. Today 67 teachers teach at the school.

Location and history

The old Art Nouveau building, which opened on April 24, 1911, is located in the then gardens of Wöhrd , today in Wöhrd, on the site of the former Merkel estate, which is bordered by Sulzbacher Strasse in the north, Merkelsgasse in the west and Nunnenbeckstrasse in the south becomes. The property, including the baroque buildings and gardens on it, became the property of the city of Nuremberg in 1905, before it was acquired on October 5, 1909 by a representative of the Bavarian state to build a new high school for around 280,000 marks. The Rathenauplatz , where the underground lines 2 and 3, as well as the tram line 8 and various bus lines run , is about 300 m away . The Stresemannplatz tram stop, which is also served by line 8 , is around 100 m away .

facade

The facade of the building, designed by the sculptor Max Heilmaier , can be divided into a defensive, defensive rustique on the ground floor and a plastered facade on the upper floors. In the rustica there are relief heads of the poets and philosophers Goethe , Schiller , Homer and Socrates , as well as the Germanic ancient heroes Arminius and Caesar and the gods Wodan and Zeus .

Entrance portal

In the set back frame of the entrance portal in the rustica there are also five bas-reliefs that symbolize the five main subjects religion (in the middle), ancient languages ​​(to the right), natural sciences (to the left), music (right outside) and gymnastics (left outside) .

Capitoline Wolf

The Capitoline Wolf on the school roof

As a symbol of the humanistic grammar school, the Capitoline Wolf is attached to the gable on the east side . It stands on a chimney-like base and measures 1.50 m by 2.20 m. This makes it twice as large as its original, which is 75 cm high and 114 cm wide and is classically shown without Romulus and Remus , which were added to the original in the Renaissance.

observatory

The old Art Nouveau building on Sulzbacher Straße has a small observatory with a dome, which, however, is currently not allowed to be used for safety reasons.

Training school

The Melanchthon-Gymnasium is one of around 70 seminar schools in Bavaria that are assigned to student teachers after the first state examination. The six-month training for this begins either in February at the school half-year or in September at the beginning of the school year. This practice can be received by prospective teachers at the Melanchthon-Gymnasium in the subjects German , English , Protestant religious studies , Greek , history or Latin . Each subject is represented by the respective seminar teacher who supervises the training. In addition, the trainee teachers receive instruction in the general subjects of pedagogy , psychology , school law and basic issues of civic education. The legal clerkship ends after two years of practical experience and the subsequent second state examination.

Open all-day school (OGS)

Since 2009, the grammar school has been offering an open all-day school in cooperation with the district youth organization of the Upper and Middle Franconian Workers' Welfare Association . After the end of lessons, the students have free care available Monday to Thursday, which consists of homework supervision by older students, project offers and open leisure activities. A social pedagogue and a kindergarten teacher should ensure qualified supervision and encourage self-determined learning. Furthermore, the children should be taught to find forms of learning and exercise that suit their own learning type, to take breaks in order to discover their own rhythm for learning, to improve their ability to concentrate and to experiment and remain curious while learning, as well as independently and to work independently.

Central Library

The central library is located on the ground floor of the school building and contains a school library and an old grammar school library . The former contains around 10,000 volumes of non-fiction, specialist and youth books, as well as a collection of various CD-ROMs and, since 2005, the basis of a classic film library. All media are accessible via modern catalogs and can (with a few exceptions) be borrowed.

The old grammar school library houses some very valuable writings from the Middle Ages - including prayers of the hours from 1471. The foundation for this was laid by a foundation by Sebald Welser of books of theological and ancient language content from 1581. The Welsers expanded these increasingly and with the dissolution of the Nuremberg Latin schools in the 19th century, their holdings also passed into the possession of the library. In the new school building from 1911, the library was also allocated a spacious room, but in 1989 when it was merged with the school library, it was moved to the current premises, which currently contains around 10,000 volumes, mainly by Latin and Greek authors, as well as secondary literature, including some manuscripts (3 antiphonaries ), 27 incunabula , around 530 volumes from the 16th and 17th centuries, the vast majority from the 18th century and an annual report collection of German grammar schools from the 19th century.

subjects

In the foreign languages, six years of Latin , five years of English and three years of Greek must be completed. Furthermore, voluntary subjects such as B. Taught Italian .

Melanchthon Prize

The Melanchthon Prize is a prize that has been awarded since 1995 to schoolchildren "who are committed to their classmates far beyond their teaching obligations at the Melanchthon Gymnasium" and is endowed with 250 €.

Friends of Melanchthon-Gymnasium e. V.

The association of the "Friends of Melanchthon-Gymnasium e. V. ”was founded on December 9th, 1976 and has since supported the school in its efforts to make school life more positive. The association, which, in addition to the school, also finances lectures, day excursions, visits to exhibitions and study trips, now has around 300 members. Graduates of the school and active students do not pay any contributions up to five years after graduation.

Melanchthon competition

Since October 2000, the association has also organized the Melanchthon Competition, a creative and ideas competition for all schools in the region. With changing topics, it is very popular in the region every year under the patronage of the Lord Mayor of Nuremberg . The jury consists of a board member of the association “Friends of Melanchthon Gymnasium e. V. ”and five public figures.

Name of the school

The name "Melanchthon-Gymnasium" has been used unofficially since the beginning of the 20th century. But it was not until the National Socialist era that the school lobby was able to get the name “Melanchthon-Gymnasium” through to Minister of Education Hans Schemm .
