The Regiomontanus-Gymnasium Haßfurt is a large high school in the Haßberge district with around 1050 students (school year 2018/19) with a large, predominantly rural catchment area. The number of pupils has risen continuously in the last few years (in 1989 still 864 pupils).

Special features of the grammar school are the "teacher-classroom concept", in which the rooms are not assigned to school classes but to teachers, the expansion of the school wiki, the "Softstep" project and lectures in the new upper level in the subjects of German and, on an experimental basis, astronomy .

In the school wiki, particularly in the subject of mathematics, course content, interactive learning paths (created with GeoGebra ), sample solutions, etc. are systematically offered. Other subjects are also E.g. materials created with Hot Potatoes . The “Softstep” project tries to facilitate the transition (first from kindergarten to primary school) and then specifically to secondary schools. It includes visits by primary school classes to the grammar school and close cooperation between teachers from the various schools who coordinate work techniques and learning content.

It is named after the German astronomer and mathematician Regiomontanus , who comes from Königsberg in Bavaria , a few kilometers away . The school also has an observatory.

The 5th grade starts with Latin or English as the first foreign language, in the 6th grade English, Latin or French can be chosen as the second foreign language. From the 8th grade onwards, the pupils choose a course with a specific teaching program.

Alternatively, instead of the second foreign language learned up to then, Spanish can also be taken from grade 10 up to grade 12.

Extra-curricular offers

The school has an extensive travel and student exchange program. These include the 5th grade school camps, the 6th grade ski courses and exchanges with partners in England, France, Italy, Poland and Spain. The 10th grade will go to London, Paris, Avellino, Stettin, Valencia and Barcelona in spring. The return visit of the partners there usually takes place in the summer. The study trips of the upper level have different goals and different programs (for example London, Budapest, Paris, Athens, mountain hiking in the Pyrenees or Northern Greece).

The activities in the cultural sphere include musicals (Hair, The Threepenny Opera), revues as Toujour l'amour , Faustical , fairy tales never die , pain Forest Hospital , but also plays as Dürrenmatt's Romulus the Great (2005) and the satirical self-production Mephisto makes school - or who has Afraid of Dieter B.? (2006). School concerts are organized regularly. The big band was involved in several international projects (with the Swedish school choir Bergslagscantat from Lindesberg , with an Italian school from Parma). There are also two choirs, individual instrumental lessons (strings) and a percussion group.

The school sets up its own teams in the sports of volleyball, beach volleyball, tobogganing, golf, soccer, handball, basketball, badminton and swimming. As part of the youth training for the Olympics , there were successes, partly as a national winner in badminton, (girls) football, swimming and dance. In the School in Motion campaign , pupils and teachers run, swim, cycle and skate a usually five-figure sum of money every two years by having sponsors “pay” for every kilometer covered within four hours. The money collected in this way is then distributed to changing social aid projects at home and abroad (orphanages, children's hospitals, training projects).

As part of information technology education, courses in computer science, word processing, homepage & Internet as well as multimedia / video editing are offered.

In addition, there are various working groups such as the school garden, astronomy (in the in-house observatory), SMV, school newspaper Monokel , Umwelt, Sozialer-AK, tutors, dispute resolution, school guides, school paramedics and school administrators.

Finally, in the area of the environment, the grammar school has gained recognition as an environmental school. The focus is on environmental education and energy saving, implemented in projects in the field of nature and technology and a successful heating cost reduction program with the material cost manager, with whom the school receives part of the money saved.

A medical team has been available for qualified first aid for several years. The students were trained in an extended first aid course by instructors from the local district association. The training and regular training is funded or fully paid for by the parents' council and the BRK district association Haßberge, youth red cross department.

School and school environment

The original main building dates back to 1975, the fountain (Regiomontanus fountain) in front of the main entrance by Waldemar Kuhn . The high school, which is part of the Haßfurt school center, has very extensive sports facilities within this framework: two renovated gyms, a triple hall, extensive outdoor facilities for athletics and ball sports and a modern school and club swimming pool (Die Welle). Long-term extension and renovation measures have been underway since 2010.

During the active break, students can receive balls, badminton rackets, ropes for jumping or juggling material to “let off steam”.

The school center has had a new all-day care building since autumn 2008. The most important features are a large cafeteria with lunch, a new library, a film / video or sound studio, open internet access, as well as rooms for promoting music, for support courses, homework supervision and learning workshops. Theater performances and lectures in the new upper level take place in the cafeteria.
