The Otto Hahn Gymnasium ( OHG ) is the only general high school in Springe . It is named after the German chemist and Nobel Prize winner Otto Hahn (1879–1968).

history

On October 2, 1967, construction work began on the south school center, where the Gerhart-Hauptmann-Schule and the Otto-Hahn-Gymnasium were later located today. The following year the Otto Hahn Gymnasium was opened and its name was given.

Since 1991 there is also a cafeteria for the pupils, which is mainly managed by two teachers. Around 150 parents and two one-euro workers are also employed as assistants.

With the abolition of the orientation level in 2004, pupils of the 5th and 6th year started school again. So a total of three years were accepted (5th, 6th and 7th grade). Because of the high number of students, the high school was expanded to include the OHG North branch . The buildings of the former north orientation level were used for the branch. In the summer of 2014, the long-planned move of the 5th to 7th grade into the main building of the Otto Hahn Gymnasium was implemented, so that all grades of the Gymnasium are now housed in one building. The Gerhart Hauptmann School moved into the former "OHG Nord".

On June 14, 2008 the Otto Hahn Gymnasium celebrated its 40th anniversary. Among the guests at the school anniversary celebration was Otto Hahn's only grandson, Dietrich Hahn .

Years 5 and 6 have been housed in the building area of ​​the former secondary school since the 2014/2015 school year.

Music projects

The Otto Hahn Gymnasium has already started many successful music projects. The first was the rock musical Teens in the summer of 1986 . In June 1999 the musical Joseph was performed. This was followed by the musical Grease and the rock opera The Wall . The drama Romeo and Juliet was performed for the anniversary of the Otto Hahn Gymnasium . In February 2012 the Otto Hahn Gymnasium successfully presented a production of Bertolt Brecht's " Threepenny Opera " as " 3GO - based on Bertolt Brecht's Threepenny Opera ". In 2014, an experimental musical, written by students and teachers, followed, called "Jein!", Which was characterized by a symbiosis of classic musical elements and modern pop and rock music and staged the emotional life of a young person in love. Two years later the track "Thank you for The Music!" Followed, which showed the history of the Swedish pop band Abba .

School without racism - school with courage

Since February 2006 the Otto Hahn Gymnasium has had the title School without Racism - School with Courage . The godfather is the German soccer player Per Mertesacker , who visited the school to hand over the SOR-SMC sign .

The group has had many projects so far. From awareness-raising events about right-wing extremism or homophobia to supporting well construction projects in Ethiopia and participating in various demonstrations, many actions are carried out to strengthen tolerance and democratic values ​​among the students.
