The Paul-Natorp-Gymnasium is a grammar school in the Berlin district of Friedenau . The namesake of the school is Paul Natorp , a social philosopher and co-founder of the Marburg School of Neo-Kantianism . The school turned one hundred years old in April 2007 and was restored and modernized in accordance with listed buildings until 2016 .

location

The school is located in the middle of Friedenau on Goßlerstrasse , a quiet side street that begins at Friedrich-Wilhelm-Platz . It is relatively easy to reach by public transport .

School history

The school was founded on April 9, 1907 as a secondary school for girls under the name of the Königin-Luise-Mädchen-Schule (named after Luise von Mecklenburg-Strelitz ) with three pre-school and two daughter school classes. In 1912 the school was named Lyceum. It replaced the secondary school for girls in Moselstrasse run by Melida and Henriette Roenneberg (sisters of the Friedenauer community leader Georg Roenneberg ) . By an imperial cabinet order of April 7, 1911, the school was informed of the following "highest decree":

"His Majesty the Emperor and King have graciously approved that the developing public high school for girls in Friedenau should bear the name of Her Majesty the most blessed Queen Luise in the name of the Queen Luise School ."

- Achilleion, April 7, 1911

From September 9, 1939, lessons at the partner school, the Rheingau Gymnasium , were temporarily relocated to the Königin-Luise-Lyceum. The reasons for this were the interim confiscation of the classrooms by the air raid rescue center . Between January 19 and April 1940, the school was largely closed. For two classes, lessons have been moved to the Friedenau town hall .

During the Second World War on August 23, 1943, the school building was badly damaged in a nightly bombing raid at 2:30 a.m. The top floor burned out almost completely. The glass-covered auditorium was also completely destroyed. As a result, all students between August 31 and September 15, 1943 were transported to the KLV camps and the school was closed. The school reopened on March 14, 1945.

In December 1945 it was decided to rename the school to its current name. On May 28, 1946, the "Celebration of the renaming of the school to Paul Natorp School" took place.

On January 19, 1950, the topping-out ceremony for the new construction of the roof structure took place after the school authority's plan to demolish the entire building was finally given up. Two boys' classes were opened for the first time in the 1955 school year.

On March 29, 1957, the 50th anniversary celebration of the school took place.

In 2012 the Paul-Natorp-Oberschule was renamed the Paul-Natorp-Gymnasium .

architecture

The Paul-Natorp-Gymnasium is located together with the Stechlinsee-Grundschule on the shared property at Goßlerstraße 13–15 - Rheingaustraße 7 - Schwalbacher Straße 11–13. They were not built at the same time and come from different architects: Johannes Duntz and Hans Altmann . After the death of the community architect Max Nagel in 1904, Duntz was the provisional deputy of the community architect until Altmann was appointed in 1906.

He developed the unconventional school building as a "hall school" on a T-shaped floor plan with a broad front facing Goßlerstrasse and around a central auditorium with the flanking classrooms that extends deep into the property . The compact school building is accessed through a porch and a vestibule that opens onto the auditorium. The two-storey auditorium is recessed, illuminated by a glass skylight and surrounded on three sides by gallery-like corridors on two storeys. The stage is on the fourth side. The classes are outside in the corridors, inside you can look down into the hall-like auditorium.

The street wing and the western class wing are four-story, the eastern class wing, on the other hand, is only two-story, so that the incidence of light is secured through the glass roof over the auditorium. The assembly hall itself was greatly simplified in its design during the maintenance work around 1985. The street front is picturesquely structured by two high transverse gables on both sides of the central axis with rich structure by pinnacles as well as by a single-storey entrance porch with arbor on the first floor.

The facade is plastered, the decorative architectural elements - window frames, porch, pinnacles and consoles - are made of natural stone . The side facades are also elaborately designed: their kink in the enclosure of the stage structure of the auditorium is conveyed by a round tower with a pointed conical roof . The end of the four-story class wing is emphasized by high transepts and gables. The unusual school building is also characterized by a richly structured roof landscape.

Cooperation with other schools

Rheingau high school

The Paul-Natorp-Gymnasium cooperates with the Rheingau-Oberschule in order to expand the range of courses for upper school students . For this reason, high school students usually have one advanced course at the PNS and one at the RGS. This has the benefit that rarely chosen advanced courses can be offered and almost any LK combination is possible.

Partner schools abroad

  • France (8th grade): Paris
  • Italy (10th grade): changing locations
  • Norway : Norwegian high school students take classes at Paul Natorp High School. This is the so-called 'Oslo Project', a cooperation between the Berlin Senate and the Norwegian state.
