history
From Latin school to full high school
In 1683 the Capuchins founded the Bernkastel Latin School , the history of which ends about 120 years later. Several attempts to establish a secondary school failed in the 1830s and early 1840s. In 1848 a higher city school started operations in Bernkastel, which lasted until 1875. A rectorate class to prepare for later entry into a grammar school existed from 1885, five years a private higher girls 'school , which was closed in 1936, as well as a higher boys' school with grades sixth to upper secondary . The school operation was difficult to maintain during the Second World War, after the permission to resume lessons in autumn 1945, the Bernkastel-Kueser city council decided on December 29, 1945 to expand the city rectorate school into a full high school.
The “Staatl. New language Bernkastel-Kues High School “had been housed in the so-called Steinhaus since 1946, and two years later the first students passed their Abitur . In August 1960, construction began on a new school building and a gym near the municipal sports field and swimming pool, the school building that was renamed in April 1962 in “Staatl. Nikolaus-von-Kues-Gymnasium (modern language) Bernkastel-Kues “renamed school took place on June 8, 1962. In 1968 the building was expanded to include the Kueser and Wehlener annexes due to the increasing number of pupils . Further enlargements took place in the 1980s and by a new extension took place in 2007.
Alignment and Development
For years, the school has successfully participated in various extracurricular competitions. These include the federal foreign language competition , the IT beaver , the First Lego League , youth research , youth training for the Olympics , the kangaroo of mathematics and the day of physics at the Technical University of Kaiserslautern .
Since 2005 the school has been a training school for the Trier study seminar . With the recently inaugurated extension, the school also became an all-day school .
