The Otto Hahn Gymnasium (OHG) is a gymnasium with a Realschulzug and an elite sports school in Furtwangen .
General
The school was founded in 1949 as a Progymnasium . In 1964, the first Abitur was taken at the OHG. In 1974 the grammar school was supplemented by a secondary school. This extraordinary coexistence of Realschule and Gymnasium at one school was therefore called the Furtwanger model. In 1977 the new building on the Bühl was built and occupied. This was expanded on December 5, 2008 to include a cafeteria and specialist rooms in a festive inauguration, at which the then Minister of Education, Helmut Rau , was also present.
Profiles
The grammar school has three profiles: a modern language (with the languages English, French, Spanish), a technical and natural science (NWT) and a sporting (sport as main subject). With the 2003/2004 school year, the G8 ( Abitur after twelve years ) was introduced at the OHG one year earlier than at most other schools in Baden-Württemberg .
Elite school of sport
The OHG is a partner in the network system of the SKIF ( Skiinternat Furtwangen ), in which successful young skiers (up to members of the national teams) from Baden-Württemberg receive both educational and sporting care. For this successful work, the network system SKIF and thus also the OHG received the title “Elite School of Sports”, as well as the title “Partner of the Freiburg Olympic Training Center”.
location
The Otto Hahn Gymnasium in Furtwangen is just under 1000 meters above sea level and is therefore the highest state high school in Germany. The school is located on the southern slope of Furtwangen's local mountain, Brend , about 100 m above Furtwangen.
Partner schools
The Otto Hahn Gymnasium has several partnerships:
England
With the Park High School in Colne in the district of Pendle , Lancashire , an exchange is organized annually. The relationship has existed since 1964, making it one of the oldest still existing school partnerships with England. The street on which the new school is located was named after the city of Colne: Colnestrasse.
France
The partner school is located in Andrézieux-Bouthéon near St. Etienne in southern France.
