Humboldthöhe in Chemnitz with a grammar school

The Johannes-Kepler-Gymnasium Chemnitz is a mathematical and scientific high school with in-depth training and is located on the Sonnenberg , a district in the east of Chemnitz . At the school 566 students are taught by 77 teachers. The grammar school used to be housed in an elongated, three-storey prefabricated building, the associated area stretching widely between Hans-Ziegler- Strasse, Carl-von-Ossietzky- Strasse and the footpath through the poplar grove. Since February 2008 the grammar school has been located on Humboldtplatz in the building of the former Alexander von Humboldt grammar school in Chemnitz , which was renovated between 2004 and 2008.

history

Originally the building on Hans-Ziegler- Str. 6/8 two schools: the " POS Wilhelm Pieck " and the "POS Hans Beimler ". On August 12, 1985, the school management and initially six teachers took possession of the second floor of what was then the Hans-Beimler-Schule in order to give the special school mathematical-scientific-technical , or MNTR for short, a helping hand. The entire building was taken over with effect from August 1, 1986. Grades 9 to 12 were laid out in three classes with a total of around 50 students per year. There was a boarding school for foreign students in the Fritz Heckert residential area in Faleska-Meinig-Str. 52 .

With the reunification of Germany, new school structures developed. The special school was closed on August 1, 1992 and a large grammar school was established by taking over the western part of the building. The boarding school was closed and the affected students could be accommodated in the boarding school of the sports high school .

When the school conference decided on the name Johannes Kepler in 1992 , the focus was on the scientist who combined imaginative speculation about nature with patient, unbiased observation and persistent arithmetic.

In the 2005/06 school year, most of the students and teachers at the Alexander von Humboldt Gymnasium in Chemnitz switched to the Johannes Kepler Gymnasium on Hans-Ziegler-Straße for 2½ years, as the city council decided that the Humboldt Gymnasium was to be repealed of the school year 2004/2005 was decided. In February 2008, the company moved to the renovated building at Humboldtplatz 1 (previously Fürstenstrasse 85). The building on Humboldthöhe has housed various educational institutions since 1921:

  • 1921 Chemnitz Research School
  • 1924 Free Humboldt School in Chemnitz
  • 1949 Polytechnic high school
  • 1955 Pedagogical Institute
  • 1985 Extended secondary school
  • 1995 Alexander von Humboldt Gymnasium
  • 2008 Johannes Kepler High School

Educational offer

The Johannes-Kepler-Gymnasium is a three-class high school with a regular mathematical and scientific profile and an in-depth mathematical and scientific education. This means that in the subjects of biology , chemistry , computer science , mathematics and physics , the timetable for in-depth training provides for more teaching hours than in regular training. Detailed education also means that in the sixth form three power classes are assigned instead of two power classes. When entering the Abitur , two of these can be billed as an advanced course and one as a basic course. In addition, an annual assignment as part of a special learning achievement is mandatory in the specialization profile.

The Johannes-Kepler-Gymnasium organizes the second and third level of the Mathematics Olympiad , the second and third level of the Saxon Physics Olympiad and the biology team competition of the special schools .

There are also cooperation agreements with the TU Chemnitz and the Technologie Centrum Chemnitz (TCC), which primarily provide for cooperation in the context of student internships and special learning achievements.

International contacts

The grammar school has had a student exchange with the "Collège Pierre Pflimlin " in Mulhouse (Alsace) since 1994 . Since 2002 there has also been a close relationship with a Polish school, the »Publiczne Gimnazjum Nr 2« in Żagań . In addition, the high school regularly organizes language and educational trips to France , Poland and Great Britain .
