history

The school yard and the school building

On December 18, 1924, 12 municipalities joined together to form a special purpose association to establish a reform high school in Reinbek. This day is considered the birth of the Sachsenwald School. The building was constructed according to plans by the architect Heinrich Bomhoff and was officially inaugurated on June 24, 1926. The south wing was added just two years later. Rudolf Stienen became the first school director.

Since 1937, the grammar school has been named "Sachsenwaldschule Reinbek" after the Sachsenwald forest that defines the landscape . The school survived the Second World War unscathed and in 1945 became a military hospital for one year. In the 1960s, the number of students rose sharply, and parts of the lower grades were housed in basement rooms. In addition to new buildings - a gymnasium and a natural science wing in 1964 - the Wentorf grammar school was built as an offshoot in 1968 .

A further increase in the number of pupils required further extensions in 1970 and 1972. In 1974 the SWS branch in the Glinde school center became independent. The association had had its day and the city of Reinbek has been the sole school sponsor ever since. At the end of the 1970s, the music pavilion, a new sports field with all-weather synthetic surface and a redesigned schoolyard were built.

The grammar school has been a listed building since 1986 .

The first computer room was set up in the mid-1980s. The 1990s finally brought the long-awaited new Zweifelder sports hall (1997/1998) and a new bandstand (1998/1999) to the school. In the same year the school won a sponsorship competition and received new equipment for the computer room. A renewed increase in the number of pupils forced the old gymnastics hall to be converted into three classrooms.

The same fate befell the former director's house in 2000. Nevertheless, the upper level continues to use the rooms of the neighboring adult education center . In 2004 the scientific wing and the cafeteria were renewed and expanded, and in 2008 the computer room was modernized. In 2012, an extension was built south of the school with seven classrooms and a cafeteria.

In addition to numerous cultural events in the auditorium , the grammar school is known for its sporting events such as the sports week in January. The seventh SWS Cup (soccer) took place in 2007, the proceeds of which were donated to an SOS Children's Village in Lütjenburg . In the nationwide youth training for the Olympics competition, the Sachsenwald School reached the national finals several times.

There are 1325 students in 49 classes taught by 97 teachers and a French assistant. The average frequency in the classes is 26 students. Grades 5 and 7 are seven - the twelfth grades eleven. The other classes are in six classes. (Status: 2015)

There were already several exchange students from Sweden and the USA at the SWS in the mid-1960s, and since then the school has maintained regular exchanges with schools in:
