history

School, school branches and locations

The history of the school began at the end of the Second World War after the couple Hilde and Oskar Kämmer brought some typewriters from Berlin to Braunschweig. In 1945 they founded a private educational establishment on Wabestrasse, which initially only taught shorthand and typing lessons. Eleven years later (1956) they started building a private business school on Jasperallee , which was approved as a state-recognized private school in October 1958 . In the same decade, the institution expanded the school regionally with locations in the neighboring cities of Wolfenbüttel and Wolfsburg .

In the 1960s, the school set up additional branches with a commercial college , a foreign language seminar and a medical assistant school . A technical school for business administration and a technical college for economics, design and social affairs followed in the 1970s . After the Oskar-Kämmer-Schule was converted into a non-profit limited liability company (gGmbH), the Oskar-Kämmer-Bildungswerk was founded as the first subsidiary .

In the 1980s, the school first offered courses in vocational preparation for young people (see BVJ ). In addition, the training program was initially under the apprenticeship program Niedersachsen (APN) to full-time school vocational training programs for inter-company training (see BGJ ) as well as further training - and retraining courses for acquisition or unemployed expanded.

At the same time, a strong expansion of the locations began. The Oskar-Kämmer-Schule opened branches in south-eastern Lower Saxony ( Gifhorn , Helmstedt , Peine , Salzgitter-Bad and - Lebenstedt ), which in the 1990s opened further branches in ( Celle and Goslar ) and in western and central Saxony-Anhalt in ( Haldensleben , Halberstadt , Magdeburg , Oschersleben , Quedlinburg , Schönebeck , Wernigerode and Zielitz ) followed.

In the new millennium, additional subsidiaries were founded in response to changing target groups and the demands of the labor market. In 2007, however, these were merged with the parent company. The Oskar-Kämmer-Schule expanded its range of education through integration and placement-promoting measures and other school branches such as the vocational high school with a focus on economics and social affairs. In 2005, the first secondary school, LebenLernen, was opened in Schneidlingen (Saxony-Anhalt) and the first branch in Baden-Württemberg went into operation. In 2006 the Realschule LebenLernen was opened as the first independent Realschule in Braunschweig. In the following year (2007) the Kämmer information center opens in the Braunschweiger Schloss-Arkaden . In 2008 she took over the (vocational) Stader private school in Stade and the Free Forest School Elbenau (private primary school).

From 2006 to the present day, the school has developed and operated the Kleiner Harz miniature park in Wernigerode as part of a joint project with the city of Wernigerode, the municipal employment agency and the Halberstadt employment agency . The aim is the qualification and employment promotion of unemployed adults.

In 2010 the school took over the former Phorms School in Hanover and continues to run it today under the name Kämmer International Bilingual School (KIBS).

School management and management

The founders were also their first leaders. In the 1960s, Joachim Böttcher joined the company as deputy headmaster, who in the 1970s took over the school management and management of the now-established non-profit school company together with Hans Jendrach, while the founders retired into private life. The successor to Jendrachs, who retired in the 1980s, was Peter Susat, who left the company in 2005. In addition to Susat, Hans Otto Kruse also joined the school management and management. In the course of Böttcher's move in January 1998 from the school management to the advisory board of the school company, Doris Masurek was appointed third manager of the company (alongside Susat and Kruse). In the 2000s Masurek finally took over the sole management and is supported by four authorized signatories.
