history

The Freiburg Rotteck-Gymnasium was opened on June 7, 1841 as a higher middle school. The location was today's Augustinermuseum , there were 29 students in the first school year. In the following year the school moved to the Predigertor on Fahnenbergplatz, which is no longer in existence. In 1864 the school was relocated to the Black Monastery . In 1874 Heinrich Lang moved into a new building in the neo-renaissance style at today's place of the Old Synagogue in Werderstrasse. Since 1884 the school has been called Realschule and since 1894 Oberrealschule in order to differentiate it from the so-called Latin schools with its more scientific profile .

In 1905 the school had 1,034 students. A branch was founded from which today's Kepler High School developed. During the First World War , the school was used as a hospital , and lessons were held in the rooms of the university and the Ursuline monastery.

In 1920 the school was given the new name Rotteckschule - after the Freiburg political scientist, historian and politician Karl von Rotteck (1775–1840), who at the beginning of the 19th century had already called for the establishment of a community school, in which education was based on the French model should be offered in the field of science. From 1937 with a short interruption until 2015, the Rotteck memorial was also located within easy reach of the school and university.

During the Second World War , lessons had to be relocated to other Freiburg schools due to the confiscation of the school building. The school building was badly damaged in the air raid on Freiburg on November 27, 1944. After the end of the war, classes were continued in the Friedrich Gymnasium , which was not affected by this , where 3000 students had to share the rooms on shifts. In 1951 the Rotteck students were able to return to the rebuilt school building in Werderstrasse. In 1970 the company moved to the new building on Lessingstrasse. Instead of the demolished school, the previous building of today's university library was built.

In the MINT area, in addition to the normal subjects, there are the profile subjects natural science and technology and IMP (computer science, mathematics, physics) and participation in the Freiburg seminar for mathematics and natural sciences .

From the fifth grade onwards, pupils can apply for admission to the main sports train. The pupils receive additional physical education in the lower grades and can take physical education as a core subject from year 8. There is an intensive cooperation with the soccer school of the SC Freiburg , the Olympic Center Freiburg and other sports clubs, whereby some of the core subject achievements can be proven in external training. This enables talented athletes to combine competitive sport with a broad school education geared towards the general university entrance qualification .
