The Steinbart-Gymnasium is the second oldest secondary school in Duisburg after the Landfermann-Gymnasium . It was founded in 1831 because there was a need, as an alternative to the Latin school at the time , to familiarize young people more with so-called realities, i.e. with modern foreign languages and natural sciences . The graduates of the " Realgymnasium " should be led to the greatest possible openness to the world. Even today, the Steinbart-Gymnasium - of course in a modernized form - is particularly committed to the ideas that shaped its foundation and its long history.

From 1945 to 1949, today's Steinbart-Gymnasium and today's Mercator-Gymnasium were merged to form the “Municipal High School for Boys, Duisburg-Mitte”.

The Steinbart-Gymnasium was originally an all- boys school . In the 1970s it switched to co-education . Even today, the proportion of boys is higher than that of girls, but this can also be attributed to the nearby episcopal St. Hildegardis grammar school, which was designed as an all- girls grammar school until 2014 .

The high school is named after Quintin Steinbart.

About Quintin Steinbart

Quintin Steinbart (born February 9, 1841 in the Mark Brandenburg ; † June 5, 1912) was headmaster of the Realprogymnasium and the later Realgymnasium Duisburg since 1875 .

Before that he had passed the school leaving examination and enrolled at the University of Berlin. There he studied mathematics, physics and modern languages ​​and was a teacher at the Victoria Institute in Falkenberg in the Mark at the age of 22 . After changing schools several times and the Franco-German War , he took over the management of a school in Rawitsch .

Language concept

In 2007, the Steinbart-Gymnasium was recognized by the state parents of the high schools for its forward-looking language concept. As part of its fiftieth anniversary, the umbrella organization of the school attendants of the grammar schools awarded the "Quality of Teaching" school prize. A jury chaired by Professor Rainer Dollase from Bielefeld selected six winners in three categories from the 34 submitted concepts. The Steinbart-Gymnasium received the school award in the category "Didactic Concepts". The Steinbart-Gymnasium offers an innovative language concept, which enables pupils of the 5th grade to start learning languages ​​differently according to their talents and without risk. The decisive factor for the jury was the “simple but ingenious concept”, which would be easy to implement in any high school and which gives the students the opportunity to acquire a second foreign language right at the beginning of their high school. The award was presented by School Minister Barbara Sommer .

Partnerships

The grammar school maintains partnerships and student exchanges with the following schools:

Since 1986 there has been a student exchange program with East High School in Duluth , Minnesota , for several years .

Alumni Association

The association's funds are primarily used to support the work of the school. This is mainly done with the acquisition of teaching aids , teaching materials and technical devices and by promoting school partnerships and student exchanges.

The association also helps the school with the vocational orientation of the students. Once a year, he organizes a career information evening at which experts give prospective high school graduates advice and information about their studies and work.

On special days of remembrance, deceased former teachers and students are honored, at one of the Duisburg cemeteries or in Bad Mergentheim- Stuppach, where nine Steinbart students were killed in 1945.

The association's statutes also oblige the association to maintain the tradition of the school. All high school graduates receive the history of the Steinbart-Gymnasium and the Albertine, which was donated by former students of the Löbenicht-Realgymnasium , at their graduation ceremony .

location

The Steinbart-Gymnasium is quietly located on the green Kant-Park in the Mitte district of the city of Duisburg. The buildings are at Realschulstrasse 45. Curiously, there are two grammar schools on Realschulstrasse (apart from Steinbart, there is also the episcopal St. Hildegardis grammar school for girls across Düsseldorfer Strasse) and no secondary school; the street is named after the forerunner of the school.

criticism

At the end of July 2013 it became known that for decades a book, largely from the 1950s, had been given away to the high school graduates, which traces the history of the Steinbart-Gymnasium, but contains largely uncommented terms and phrases that come close to the Nazi linguistic usage or are borrowed from this, so z. B. the designation of Allied bombing attacks on Duisburg as "terror attacks". The school management then announced that the book and an accompanying badge of honor would not be given away. The school's alumni association as the publisher of the book announced a new edition with critical comments.
