Nathan Söderblom (1866–1931) is the namesake of the school

The Söderblom-Gymnasium is the only high school in the East Westphalian town of Espelkamp in North Rhine-Westphalia .

history

In the newly emerging town of Espelkamp after the Second World War, there was initially no higher school, the closest secondary schools (Realschule, Gymnasium) were in the district town of Lübbecke . The city of Espelkamp was not able to take over the sponsorship in the special construction situation . Furthermore, there was a great need due to the influx of refugee children from the GDR who had broken off the education they had started there at a higher school and could not continue easily in West Germany because of the completely different curricula.

In this situation, the Evangelical Church of Westphalia decided to found a secondary school with a boarding school (lessons began in 1953) to cover this need. Another target group were students from the rural surroundings of Espelkamp, ​​who at the time had little chance of a higher education because of the long ways to school. Special support courses have been set up for students from the GDR. From the beginning the school ran under co-education , which was very rare at the time. When it was founded, the Protestant regional church, which until then had not taken over any school sponsorship, began to get involved in the field of school education, following the example of the flourishing Catholic private school system.

Motives of diakonia also played a role.

Out of gratitude for the Swedish reconstruction aid after the Second World War in the displaced city Espelkamp school in 1955 after the Swedish theologian and was Nobel Peace Nathan Söderblom named.

"The Söderblomgymnasium for boys and girls is not only architecturally, but also in terms of its educational facility, an almost unsurpassed model of a modern teaching and educational institute in North Rhine-Westphalia."

- Walter Vollmer , 1963.

From 1958 onwards, students were admitted from the sixth grade , and the school has existed as an elementary high school since then.

Before the reform of the upper level of the gymnasium in the 1970s, the educational institution was titled as a “ private advanced high school, modern language high school with a mathematical and scientific branch”.

Due to the sharp increase in the number of students, a new building was built, which was inaugurated on October 11, 1976.

architecture

The school building was designed and built in 1953 as a pavilion school .

The original exposed brick facade of the school building was energetically renovated from 2013 to 2014 by architects and town planners Farwick + Grote ( Heiner Farwick and Dagmar Grote) from Dortmund with a ceramic surface made of Argeton Terzo-2 bricks from Wienerberger .

Today's school dates

Today the school is attended by over 1350 pupils and takes part in the initiative " School without Racism - School with Courage ".
