The Städtische Rurtalgymnasium Düren - abbreviated RTG - is a grammar school in Düren , North Rhine-Westphalia .
history
The school was founded in Düren in 1880 as the “Municipal Higher Daughter School ”. In 1909 the girls' school became a lyceum. The right to study could be granted from 1921 through the recognition as an upper lyceum. From 1945 to 1950 the school was called "Städtische Studienanstalt für Mädchen" (Municipal College for Girls), after which it was renamed "Städtisches Neusprachliches Mädchengymnasium ".
Today's Rurtalgymnasium emerged from the municipal secondary school for girls , which opened in 1880, and the private Catholic secondary school for girls , which opened in the same year . The unification took place when, during the dissolution of the Catholic Lyceum during the Nazi era, the teachers and students were taken over by the “Municipal High School for Girls”. The history of the municipal high school for girls began on April 10, 1880 with the establishment of the “Municipal Higher Töchterschule”, which was housed in the former square of the Ursuline monastery at 58 Kölnstrasse . In 1909 it was recognized as a higher education institution , which was subordinate to the Provincial School College in Koblenz . Three years later (1912) the school was renamed “Municipal Lyceum”. During the First World War it was decided to join the academic classes of an upper lyceum, which took place in 1918. When the Catholic Lyceum was dissolved in 1938, the teachers and students were housed in the main building, a double institution with a linguistic and domestic upper level, at Tivolistraße 1. The western part of the square at Kölnstrasse 58 was used as an auxiliary building as before. The school building in Tivolistraße, which is now shared, was badly damaged in the air raid on Düren in 1944 . It was not until 1946 that the school could be used under the short-term name “Städtische Studienanstalt”, together with the Stiftisches Gymnasium and the Städtisches Mathematisch-Naturwissenschaftlichen Gymnasium in Tivolistraße. In 1949 the school was moved to the south wing of the East School , An St. Bonifatius 2. In 1950 the school was named "Municipal Girls' High School". Ten years later the school leaving examination regulations were changed and the transition to the upper level was completed.
The first groundbreaking for the new building took place in September 1961, the official inauguration on October 27, 1964. The grammar school was given its current name in 1975. Since that year boys have also been taught at the school ( co-education ).
