history
At the beginning of the 20th century, the need for a higher educational institution grew in the citizens of Oranienburg, as they had to send their children to Berlin schools at that time in order to pass the Abitur . After long negotiations with the provincial authorities, the establishment of a reform was finally in December 1910 secondary school approved and the school could start work at Easter 1911th A new school building in Stralsunder Strasse, opposite the Oranienburger train station , was built from January 1913. The design for the new building emerged from an architectural competition held in 1912 and came from the Berlin-Charlottenburg-based architects Wilhelm Beringer and Fritz Schock. On April 15, 1914, classes began in the new building. The school building housed the junior high school for boys and a separate lyceum ( high school for girls ). Until the end of the Second World War , there was continuous teaching there.
In 1945 the grammar school was reorganized as a unified school , at the same time the name "Runge school" came up. In 1959, the Runge School moved to a building on Bernauer Strasse and was converted into an Extended Secondary School (EOS). The school building on Bahnhofsplatz was henceforth used by the Comenius High School. After the fall of the Wall in 1990, the Runge-EOS became a grammar school again and they moved back to the old building on Bahnhofsplatz. On April 22, 1992 the official naming of the grammar school took place "F. F. Runge ”. Two years later, a second grammar school, the Louise Henriette grammar school, was founded in Oranienburg and part of the teaching staff and the students moved there.
For financial reasons there were later several plans in the district administration to close the Runge-Gymnasium. Since the late 1990s, students, teachers and friends have initiated numerous projects and demonstrations against these plans. The closure plans were finally averted in February 2004 by a resolution of the district council .
Extension and renovation
On September 6, 2010, construction work began on the new school building "Runge Education Center". After the completion of the new functional building, the old building is to be refurbished, which will later probably house the agricultural school, the district picture office, the music school and the district adult education center. The first part of the new building was released for school operations on January 27, 2012, and teaching has been taking place in the first rooms and in the gym since February 6, 2012.
