The Musterschule is a grammar school in Frankfurt am Main . It was founded on April 18, 1803 by Wilhelm Friedrich Hufnagel as a secondary school , making it Frankfurt's third oldest secondary school after the Lessing Gymnasium and the Goethe Gymnasium . As a trial and experimentation school for educational concepts that were new at the time in the spirit of Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi , it was named model school . Committed to this reform tradition, the model school has today been recognized as a “school center for musical education and the promotion of talented students” by the Hessian Ministry of Culture and is embedded in the concept of an open all-day school .

history

The first teacher at the model school was Magister Friedrich Vertraugott Klitscher (1772–1809), a supporter of Pestalozzi. The first school house for the initially nine students was at Rotkreuzgasse 6. From the beginning, the school taught boys and girls. The annual school fee was initially 15 fl. , From 1807 25 fl.

The founding of the school was supported by the director of the consistory responsible for school supervision , Friedrich Maximilian von Günderrode . The city was unable to support this new educational establishment with sums of money due to the exhaustion of its coffers during the war, so several of the most honorable men went into the arduous business of collecting signatures from house to house on voluntary sums of money. In addition to Hufnagel and Günderrode, the banker Simon Moritz von Bethmann also collected donations for the model school.

Klitscher left school as early as 1805. His successor, who only stayed at the school for a year, was Friedrich Wilhelm August Froebel . The teaching facility was relocated to Große Friedberger Gasse in 1806 . The number of pupils rose rapidly: when Klitscher left, 130, 1812 350 and 1819 555, 212 of them girls. After the restoration of the Free City of Frankfurt , the model school was converted into a state institution in 1819, the teachers of which were civil servants.

In the period from 1880 to 1901, classes were held in the Mauerweg in the buildings of today 's Klingerschule . In 1901 the model school moved to its current location in the north end . The building that was newly constructed for them is located in Oberweg on the corner of Eckenheimer Landstrasse and was expanded in 1984.

Student Council

The student body of the model school is represented by a democratically elected student council. A school representative and two school representative representatives are elected annually. These divide all work to be carried out into different areas. According to this, all class / course speakers are invited to a general assembly once a year, who then elect students into different positions: upper / middle / lower level speakers, various committees and city student council speakers.
