The Ratsgymnasium Minden

Ratsgymnasium Minden is a grammar school in the East Westphalian city ​​of Minden . Today around 1000 students are taught by around 90 teachers at the school.

history

The Ratsgymnasium was founded in 1530 in the St. Pauli monastery as a result of the Reformation in Minden. The grammar school was thus the first grammar school west of the Weser that taught in the spirit of the new faith.

In 1880, the "old new building" was inaugurated in Immanuelstrasse, which was largely designed by the architect Eduard Heldberg . The Bessel secondary school was later housed here and today the cathedral school. In 1914 the foundation stone was laid for a new building on Königswall, which was completed in 1920.

During the time of National Socialism , the school was influenced accordingly. Professor Dr. Friedrich Lenz , who was of Jewish descent, was picked up in class by representatives of the NSDAP in 1933 and removed from the school staff. The head of studies, Hans Busch, was removed in 1936 due to a lack of willingness to cooperate with the Hitler Youth . In 1938, Jewish students were banned from attending classes. Otto Wiebe (NSDAP) took over the management of the school from 1937. He was removed from office in 1945 by the British military government , the other teachers were checked as part of the denazification process, but then stayed at the school.

In the post-war period the school was used as a town hall, and the students were taught in the Bessel-Oberrealschule. From 1946 to 1950 the students received school meals . In 1951 the student council was founded.

In 1973 the west wing was built on Parkstrasse. Until 1996, this was where the specialist rooms for biology , chemistry , and physics were located . In the course of a further expansion in 1996, these specialist rooms were moved into a modern new building with rooms for information technology and computer science , as well as a forum, secretariat and management room. Since then, normal classrooms have been located in the west wing. In the summer of 2015, the west wing was extended towards the Glacis. In addition to further classrooms, additional group rooms and a cafeteria were created.

Working groups

The projects include various sports groups, a legal studies working group, a theater group, a photo group, bands, language groups, a chess group and a television working group that produces documentaries and film clips for school events and competitions under the name RTV .
