history
The vocational college, founded in 1956, was built according to plans by the architect Wilhelm Seidensticker , born in Bochum in 1909 , who also played a key role in the reconstruction of the Grillo Theater in the 1950s. In the tradition of New Building , the school was given large windows and a characteristic concrete structure inside.
In 1996 the vocational college was a founding member of the Essen European Schools Association .
In 1998 the school was named after the French statesman Robert Schuman . He is seen as a visionary for European integration and thus laid the foundation for cooperation on a European level. In May 1950, as French Foreign Minister, he gave a speech in Paris in which he presented his vision of a new kind of political cooperation in Europe - a cooperation that would make wars between European nations unimaginable.
On October 9, 2007, the vocational college was certified as a European school . The reasons for this were the extensive range of languages available for full-time school education in English, French and Spanish, as well as bilingual classes. In addition, European economics is offered as a subject and a basic European understanding is conveyed.
future
The school is located on Sachsenstrasse in the former so-called newspaper district of Essen, where the Funke media group was also based until December 2018. A complete redesign with apartments, offices and hotels is planned for the quarter now known as the Literature Quarter . This is accompanied by the planning of the demolition of the vocational college and a possible relocation. A report called the school building a building from the 1950s and 1960s that was worth preserving . The monument authority, on the other hand, spoke of unsustainable quality.
