The Schillergymnasium is a grammar school in the Westphalian city ​​of Münster with around 800 students. When it was founded, it was the city's first state Protestant high school for boys.

history

The Schiller Gymnasium was opened on April 26, 1900 as a royal Progymnasium in Münster. The old building of the Paulinum grammar school served as the school building . The subjects offered were Latin from the sixth , French from the fourth and Greek from the lower secondary . In 1903 the approval for a full grammar school followed, its recognition in 1906. Before that, in 1905, English was added from the lower secondary level, another foreign language. In the following year, the grammar school was named Schillergymnasium and moved into its own school building on Gertrudenstraße in the Kreuzviertel . Until 1918 it was run as the "Royal Schiller High School", then until 1933 and in 1945 as the "State Schiller High School". Even after the National Socialists came to power in 1933, the school was able to retain the status of a humanistic school and was not incorporated into a German secondary school.

Due to the turmoil of the Second World War , the two state grammar schools in Münster, the Schiller grammar school and the Paulinum grammar school, were merged in 1943. Around 400 students from both systems were able to be saved from the bombing of Münster by evacuating them to the Tegernsee in good time with ongoing lessons. The union as the Staatliches Paulinum and Schillergymnasium was to continue after the war until 1954. Before that, the Schillergymnasium became independent again in 1952 and until 1967 was the first and only coeducational high school in Münster that accepted girls. After the two grammar schools separated, the grammar school was continued as the State Schiller grammar school until 1974. In that year the city of Münster took over the grammar school, and it was converted into the "Städtische Schillergymnasium". Since 1991 there has been a cooperation with the Freiherr-vom-Stein-Gymnasium in the upper level , which expired at the beginning of the 2006/07 school year due to the move of the Freiherr-vom-Stein-Gymnasium. It has only been possible to choose English as a first foreign language since 1993. Up to now, Latin has always been the first foreign language taught at the Schillergymnasium.

public relation

There are two support associations at the Schillergymnasium. The association of alumni and friends of the Schillergymnasium in Münster eV promotes general school life and at the same time administers the Hans Kuhrau Foundation , which supports study trips to Greece and Rome with financial means for the students. The Hans Kuhrau Foundation was brought into being by the former classical philologist Hans Kurau.

The Solar Net International association was founded in 2005 by a group of schoolchildren and teachers, and was renamed The Global Experience in 2011 .
