The Otto Hahn School (often abbreviated as OHS ) is a cooperative comprehensive school in Frankfurt am Main - Nieder-Eschbach . With around 1,300 students, it is one of the largest schools in Frankfurt.

School profile

As a cooperative comprehensive school with a scientific profile, it particularly addresses children interested in science in all branches of the school. Under a line it combines a high school with gymnasialer upper (G9), primary and secondary school , and a conveying step of classes 5 and 6. The grades 5/6, 7/8, 9/10, and high school seniors have their own scale.

English, French, Latin and Spanish are offered as foreign languages. Depending on the chosen branch of education, secondary school diplomas , secondary school diplomas and high school diplomas can be obtained. With the Abitur, the Cambridge certificate can be acquired in a voluntary course . The cooperative school system of the Otto Hahn School enables an internal change or continuation of the chosen school career if the performance is appropriate.

Both the school and the district library are integrated into the school grounds. This gives the students broad media access.

There are various working groups, especially in MINT subjects , music, art and sport. As a school with “full-day profile II”, it has a cafeteria that also offers hot meals.

location

The campus-like school grounds are located in a residential area on Urseler Weg , a side street off Homburger Landstrasse , in the immediate vicinity of the Heddernheim-Gonzenheim underground line (U2).

building

The OHS has six building sections A to F in three buildings, with buildings D and F standing individually and A, B, C and E being combined in one building, each of which houses different grades and different types of school. Building A is used for administration, the district library and school library are located in building C.

On the school grounds there are two large sports halls with two or three fields and a sports field with an ash track, jumping pit and grass field. The sports facilities also serve as exercise facilities for the sports clubs in the district.

In 2017, the city council decided to expand the Otto Hahn School as part of the School Action Plan . Part B is to be renovated, parts A and D are to be replaced by new buildings due to the planned expansion by two high school trains. In addition, one of the two gyms is in need of renovation. The construction costs are estimated at 12 million euros, excluding the gym renovation. Construction should start in February 2018 and be completed in 2022, but is expected to be delayed.

history

In 1969 the Friedberg district founded a center school for the then still independent communities of Nieder-Eschbach and Ober-Erlenbach . It was named in 1970 on the initiative of the community after the Frankfurt-born Nobel Prize winner Otto Hahn . The naming should indicate the scientific focus of the school. The school initially comprised a support level, a secondary school branch and a secondary school branch. The catchment area expanded in 1970 to include the municipality of Harheim , and in 1971 to include Ober-Eschbach .

After the incorporation in 1972, the city of Frankfurt am Main became the new school authority. The five northern districts of Frankfurt now belonged to the catchment area; in addition to Nieder-Eschbach and Harheim, Nieder-Erlenbach , Bonames and Kalbach were added. In 1974/75 and 1976/77 the city expanded the building complex by one new section each. At the beginning of the 1975/76 school year, the Otto Hahn School became a “school-based comprehensive school” with a secondary school for grades 5 to 10 ( secondary level I ).

In 1993, the city council decided to add an upper school level, the establishment of which was approved by the Hessian Ministry of Education for the 1995/96 school year. Since 2004 there have also been grammar school classes in grades 5 and 6 in addition to the advanced level. This means that the Otto Hahn School is the only school in Frankfurt, along with the school at Ried in Bergen-Enkheim , that offers all general education careers.

From 2005 to 2011 the high school time in Hesse was shortened to eight school years ( G8 ). For the 2011/12 school year, the Otto Hahn School was the first grammar school in Frankfurt to return to the nine-year grammar school G9.
