The Roentgen-Gymnasium Würzburg (RGW) is a mathematical-scientific and modern-language high school in Würzburg . The school is a seminar school for the training of prospective teachers , and the so-called transition classes of the Bavarian administrative district of Lower Franconia are looked after at the Röntgen Gymnasium . The school is named after Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen , who discovered the X-rays named after him in Würzburg .

history

new name from 1965
dedicated toilet x-ray

From 1820 ( Higher Citizens' School ) to 1909 ( Royal District Agriculture and Trade School or District Real School ), a six-class training was offered in the Dominican monastery and from 1859 in the Maxschule. By royal decree, an upper class was built in the years 1907-1910 and the school was started in 1908 to 1910 as a nine-class upper secondary school ( Kgl. Kreis-Oberrealschule ) based on an overall design by government master builder Fritz Gablonsky at Sanderring . The construction of the stately building for the secondary school and the affiliated Kgl. District construction school with mechanical engineering school cost 1.14 million marks .

The secondary school was badly damaged in the air raid on March 16, 1945 in World War II , but the thick walls and reinforced concrete ceilings of the building withstood the stick bombs of the British attack. In 1960 it was dedicated to the physicist Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen, who was successful in Würzburg, under the name Röntgen-Oberrealschule Würzburg . In 1965, the "old OB", as the school was still called in the 1970s, at the beginning of which the first female students were admitted, was renamed X-ray Gymnasium Würzburg in accordance with the Hamburg Agreement .

In November 1971, the Röntgen Gymnasium received its first computer, the "Monroe 1665" (a scientific-technical desktop computer of the MOS / LSI generation) for the price of a small Mercedes.

The gymnasium, suffering from overcrowding and lack of space, received additional rented rooms in the former YMCA home at the corner of Ottostraße and Friedrich-Ebert-Ring at the end of 1971. In addition to the main building on Sanderring, the classes were also housed in the old Burkard primary school, in the coin school and in three pavilions in the courtyard of the coin school.

In the autumn of 1973 the Friedrich-Koenig-Gymnasium of the same size was founded to relieve the spatial pressure on the Röntgen-Gymnasium, which up to this point in time (summer 1973: 1,842 students, with seminar participants about 150 teachers) was Bavaria's largest educational institution.

In the right wing of the Roentgen Gymnasium building, the rooms of the technical college were located.

In 2010 the Comecon celebrated its 100th anniversary.

building

Some models for the segment gables are the houses built by Balthasar Neumann . Neumann's architecture also shaped other decorations on the Comecon building such as the banding of the courtyard entrance. In 2007 the new building in the school yard was inaugurated.

Premises

The RGW has its own gym building, which houses two gyms. After the Second World War, it was actually only built as a temporary measure, but it still meets today's safety standards. Since the school has over 1,000 students, these two halls are currently not enough. The Comecon therefore still has a gym of the Volkshochschule Würzburg in Münzstraße, the sports field "Sanderrasen" (1905 still a parade ground ) and the adjacent swimming pool "Sandermare".
