history

Old school seal

The Osnabrück State Ratsgymnasium, inaugurated in 1595, is the oldest non-spiritual school in the city of Osnabrück. It was founded as a school for boys and co-education was introduced in 1970/71. After the grammar school was previously located on the south side of the cathedral courtyard at the current location of the Osnabrück Theater , it has been located on the edge of the city center in the immediate vicinity of Osnabrück Castle and since it moved to Hans-Böckler-Straße at the beginning of the 20th century the OsnabrückHalle . With around 1,070 students and 110 teachers, it is one of the largest grammar schools in Osnabrück. The grammar school has been known as the Europaschule since 1998 and has been a MINT-EC school since 2010 . In 2012 the Ratsgymnasium Osnabrück was named School of the Year by the magazine UNICUM ABI.

The school consists of four complexes. The main building is the oldest building, which was erected in 1906 by the town planning council at the time. The second complex contains the rooms for natural sciences, i.e. physics, chemistry and biology, as well as the art rooms. The building was first renovated in 2006/07 and renewed further in 2014. The third complex, which was initially intended as a temporary solution, was demolished in 2013 after more than 40 years. The fourth and newest complex was built in 2005.

Due to the switch from G8 to G9, the Ratsgymnasium urgently needs classrooms at the beginning of the 2020/21 school year. Initially, in May 2018, it was assumed that there would be a free-standing building at the bark mulch site towards the castle garden, which was actually confirmed by the city as the best solution. After long back and forth and heated discussions and arguments between the parties, which was triggered in the late summer of 2018 by plans made by City Planning Councilor Frank Otte, who preferred an extension to the old building, the city council on April 30, 2019 after many discussions with the school Voted for the solitary building.

From June 1976 to July 2012, the Ratsgymnasium Osnabrück maintained a branch in the Osnabrück district of Eversburg for 35 years .

Then you go on a round trip of Grand Canyon , Bryce Canyon and Las Vegas . In addition to rowing, there are other exchange programs with High Wycombe in England and Angers in France as well as with Poland and Evansville in the USA .

Social school

The “Social Learning” working group that has existed at the Ratsgymnasium since January 2010 is particularly well known.
