building

The Norbert-Gymnasium is located on the grounds of the Knechtsteden monastery of the Spiritaner Order, in the Knechtstedener Busch. The school buildings are spread over the monastery grounds, with both new school buildings and old monastery buildings being used. The new buildings include the main building, the large sports hall, the swimming pool and above that the small sports hall and the sports boarding school. The old building is divided into 6 building sections, whereby these form differently numbered blocks and can be distinguished from the outside by large numbers (4, 5, 5a, 6a, 6b, 7). Blocks 1, 2 and 3 form the floors of the main building (1st floor - block 1; ...) The "Norbert Campus" includes the Norbert library, which was opened in 2013 and was opened in the building of the old monastery printing house.

In 2016, a modern new artificial turf pitch with tartan track, a soccer field and other sports facilities as well as two beach volleyball fields were inaugurated and the physics rooms were renewed. In 2016 a music center was set up in connection with the conversion of the Libermann band into a concert hall, the inauguration of the renovated chemistry rooms and the conversion of Norbert Park into a green classroom. The “Pedagogical Center”, the auditorium of the grammar school, has professional event technology in the sound and light area due to the cultural series “Forum Knechtsteden” taking place there.

Most recently, the technology of the so-called media center was extensively renewed and a school kitchen set up for the new subject of nutritional sciences. In addition, the school should have broadband internet access in a few years .
