The Neue Gymnasium Bochum is a bilingual German-English high school in the Wiemelhausen district of Bochum . It was created in 2010 when the Albert Einstein School and the grammar school at Ostring were merged . The grammar school is intended for 1250 students. The New Gymnasium Bochum is certified as a European school by the North Rhine-Westphalian state government .
history
The humanistically designed grammar school on the Ostring had to give way to the new building of the Bochum regional court . The Albert Einstein School, which is bilingual in English, was polluted by pollutants in the building. One solution was to merge both schools in a new building at the Albert Einstein School in Wiemelhausen near the Geological Garden . In August 2010, the students first moved into the old building of the Erich Kästner School .
The new building was completed at the end of 2012. In October 2012 the first day of school took place in the new building. According to the original planning, a new name for the school should be considered after moving into the new building. It stayed with the working title.
New building
The development company Ruhr-Bochum mbH carried out the competition in the years 2008/09, from which the office Hascher + Jehle Planungsgesellschaft mbH from Berlin emerged as the winner. It was commissioned to plan the building. The design is a building with a gross floor area of approx. 14,000 m² and a gross volume of around 72,000 m³. The costs for this amounted to approx. 31.6 million euros.
For the school parking lot, 56 trees protected by the tree protection statutes and 50 so-called trees that are not worthy of protection, such as birch trees , are to be felled. To compensate for this, the draft provides for 104 saplings on the school property to replace the trees that are up to 60 years old.
Educational offers
The languages offered include: English and Latin are offered from the fifth grade, later also Spanish, French, Greek, Italian, Hebrew, Chinese. The language certificates offered are DELE , DELF , Cambridge English Language Assessment and the Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi exam. You can also acquire the Latinum , the Graecum and the Hebraicum , the Latinum in a school experiment by the Ministry even after class 9 (in the profile Latin plus English from class 5).
Social
A new sponsorship association was created in the school by merging the two old associations.
European politics and debate club (EPDC)
Since 2012, the New Gymnasium Bochum has had a working group founded by the former member of the Bundestag Eckhard Stratmann-Mertens , which deals with European politics in English and regularly takes part in parliamentary simulations. In 2017 a delegation from the school succeeded in winning the German selection process of the European Youth Parliament and qualifying for the international session in Vilnius in 2018.
