The Nicolaus-Kistner-Gymnasium in Mosbach in the Neckar-Odenwald district is the city's most traditional school and goes back to the local medieval collegiate and later Latin school . The grammar school has had its current name since 1958. It is named after Nicolaus Kistner .
history
Collegiate school
The Mosbach school system is probably older than the town itself, as the Mosbach Benedictine monastery has had a school facility since the 8th century . The oldest documented schoolmaster in Mosbach was Heinricus de Tumneck, who was named as Scholasticus ecclesiae Mosbachensis in 1325 and 1342 . Further references to the Mosbacher Stiftsschule come from the 15th century, u. a. from the hospital bills in the Mosbach city archive, in which annual expenses for the schoolmaster in the monastery for the singing performances for the consecration of the monastery church are recorded.
Reformed Latin school from 1564
When in 1564 by Count Palatine Friedrich III. All monasteries and monasteries in the Palatinate were abolished, the monastery school was converted into a municipal Latin school, which soon enjoyed a supraregional reputation. The later namesake Nicolaus Kistner is one of the well-known students of the 16th century . In the 17th century, the reformed Latin school survived the turmoil of the Thirty Years' War and the War of the Palatinate Succession , but Mosbach found its way into the Palatinate hinterland due to the emergence of centralism in the early 18th century. The Latin school was only a branch of the church council in Heidelberg . Teachers and rectors were poorly paid and changed frequently. In 1731 three rectors took turns. The former leading school in the village degenerated into almost insignificance in the fragmented Mosbach school system, as the parents sent their children to the German school or to the private school of the Lutheran pastor. In addition, there was also a Catholic Latin school on site. The foundation of a new secondary school in Mosbach by the Franciscan Order in 1721 failed as early as 1723.
In January 1820, the City Council of Mosbach applied to the Baden Ministry of the Interior to expand the Latin school into a grammar school , but this was provisionally rejected because on the one hand there were still two local Latin schools whose association was requested by the state, and on the other hand a preparatory school for student teachers in Mosbach. Around Easter 1820 the reformed Latin school was converted into a secondary school by a resolution of the Baden Ministry of the Interior , which was reversed by the end of the year after violent protests from Mosbach. At that time the Latin school was in different buildings, in 1833 in a dilapidated former faience factory.
Higher civic school from 1842
In 1842 the Latin school was formally converted into a higher middle school, but initially there was a lack of the required teachers and teaching materials, so that lessons were initially continued as before. Rooms in a chimney sweep's house were rented as a school, and a meadow behind the Holdermann mill as a gym. Since the school continued to be small and insignificant, the council of the city of Mosbach turned in 1865, when discussing the establishment of a grammar school , to a Mr. Hillengaß, who ran a boys' school in Breitenbronn , with the request that this school should be moved to Mosbach embarrassed. Hillengaß refused, however, and further plans to build a grammar school came to nothing for the time being due to limited funds for a new school building.
Realprogymnasium from 1894
In 1892 the existing premises of the higher middle school were no longer sufficient to teach all students. The town hall forecourt has now served as a gymnasium, while the hall of the Mosbach town hall was available for gymnastics lessons in winter. The city council decided to build a new school building with its own gymnasium and, in the course of this expansion, to convert the school into a Realprogymnasium . Beginning with the gymnasium, the new school buildings were built in late 1892 according to plans by the architect Schmieder from Heidelberg on the road to Neckarelz . The groundbreaking ceremony for the school building took place on May 2, 1893. At the beginning of the school year 1894/95 the buildings were completed. The building ensemble was supplemented by a neighboring elementary school. In the first year of teaching at the Realprogymnasium, 124 pupils attended the school, about half from Mosbach and half from abroad.
Realgymnasium from 1926
After an urban subprima had already been established in 1922/23 , which was continued as the upperprima in the following year , these upper classes were taken over by the Progymnasium in 1926, which was thus expanded to the Realgymnasium .
Ritter-Götz-von-Berlichingen-Oberschule from 1937
In 1935 the city of Mosbach named a street after Nicolaus Kistner. When, with the school reform of 1937, the 8-class secondary schools were transformed into 7-class secondary schools , the city wanted the school to be named after Mosbach's well-known son, but was not heard by the higher-level authorities. The school was renamed the Ritter-Götz-von-Berlichingen-Oberschule for boys , although girls continued to attend the school. In the course of the Second World War , teaching was increasingly restricted as teachers and students were called up for military service. In the summer of 1944, classes were completely stopped.
Real-Gymnasium from 1946
Beginning with the school year 1946/47, lessons at the school began again. Since the name given in 1937 could no longer be worn, the school was initially nameless. Since no ancient language lessons were given, the designation gymnasium , which was now reserved for those schools, was also ruled out, so that the school was continued as the Real-Gymnasium Mosbach .
High school from 1955
Only after the Düsseldorf Agreement of 1955 , which gave all schools that lead to a general higher education entrance qualification, the designation Gymnasium , the school could also be called Gymnasium Mosbach . In 1955/56 750 pupils in 22 classes attended the first year of teaching at the grammar school. In 1957, lessons were divided into a modern language course (with the language sequence Latin – English – French) and a scientific course (with only English and Latin). From 1953 the school was already using rooms in other buildings due to a lack of space. In 1958, a new school building was included in the city's urban master plan, but initially with very low priority, as the water supply and other projects had priority.
Nicolaus-Kistner-Gymnasium from 1958
In October 1958, on the occasion of the 400th anniversary of the town hall, the Mosbach municipal council applied to the state government and the secondary school authorities to rename the school the Nicolaus-Kistner-Gymnasium , which was then approved. After a dormitory of the Steyler Mission and the newly created Mosbacher district Waldstadt ensured a further increase in the number of students from the early 1960s, an architectural competition for a new building was announced in 1963. A new school building was built between 1966 and 1968. The new building was originally estimated for only 972 students, but even before construction began, it was foreseeable that the number of students would exceed this invoice size, so that the school building was enlarged during the construction phase.
In the first school year 1968/69, 1174 pupils moved into the new building of the NKG, who were taught by 69 teachers. The number of pupils fell noticeably with the establishment of the Auguste-Pattberg-Gymnasium in the Mosbach district of Neckarelz in 1972/73.
On the night of November 18-19, 2013, there was an arson in the Nicolaus-Kistner-Gymnasium. No one was injured, but the school had to be closed for several days. Two 14-year-old students were identified as suspects. School operations were temporarily relocated to other buildings during the several months of renovation, and the fire damage had been repaired at the beginning of the 2014/15 school year.
