The New High School Nuremberg is a humanistic and linguistic high school in Nuremberg .

history

On May 23, 1526, the Council of the Free Imperial City of Nuremberg opened the Upper School with a lecture by Philipp Melanchthon , which was based on the scientific languages ​​Latin and Greek. In 1810 the grammar school was reformed by the philosopher Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel and in 1889 it was divided into the old (today Melanchthon) grammar school and the new grammar school. The NGN received a new building at the main train station, on the site of the current New Museum . This meant an additional educational offer for the fast growing Südstadt and the Nuremberg area.

The new grammar school moved from the makeshift part of the ruin after the Second World War to the new building on Weddigenstrasse in 1959. In 1966 a new language branch was set up, and in 1976 it was raised to a seminary school . The New Gymnasium dedicated itself to the motto Scholae sunt humanitatis officinae ('Schools are workshops for humanity').

location

The new building, which was moved into in 1959, is located to the west on Weddigenstrasse and close to the center in the Nuremberg district of Gleißhammer .

The school grounds are only naturally delimited on the southwest side, by the Fischbach . The south-east and large parts of the north-east side are separated from the adjoining properties by a narrow path, the remaining part is located directly on private real estate.

In the vicinity are the Meistersingerhalle , the Luitpoldhain , the Dutzendteich , the former Nazi party rally grounds with the documentation center Nazi party rally grounds in the congress hall, the Federal Employment Agency and the scientifically oriented Martin-Behaim-Gymnasium . In addition to the Volkspark Dutzendteich with its leisure activities such as a boat rental or a café, there are also a number of major events in the immediate vicinity. Worth mentioning here are Rock im Park , Klassik Open Air, the Nuremberg Spring and Autumn Folk Festival and the Norisring races . There are also a variety of restaurants and retailers nearby.

Thanks to the good integration into the Nuremberg local transport network, the city center can be reached in a few minutes by tram, S-Bahn or bus.

The school complex essentially consists of four buildings and a large sports facility (see aerial photo).
