The Sorbian grammar school in Bautzen , Upper Sorbian , is located in Bautzen on Friedrich-List-Straße in the Nordostring district . It is the only grammar school that teaches and exams in Upper Sorbian and thus, alongside the Lower Sorbian grammar school Cottbus, one of the two grammar schools in Germany with the Sorbian language of instruction.
history
On September 1, 1947, the Sorbian high school was founded in Bautzen. Previously, a reserve hospital and the Bautzen customs school were users of the building until the end of the war. The school was rebuilt on the site of the Catholic Teachers' College on Liststrasse, which was badly damaged in the Second World War . A boarding school was connected from the start to enable the students from the more distant Sorbian villages to attend school. In 1951 the first Abitur was passed in the Sorbian language.
In the 1960s, the 60-seat boys' boarding school of the Sorbian Extended High School Kleinwelka was located in Radibor Castle .
After a long relocation of the extended secondary school to Kleinwelka or Bautzener Platz des Friedens , it moved back to its original building on Liststrasse in 1991 and reopened as a Sorbian grammar school in 1992.
In 2007 and 2008 the high school was renovated and converted into a Sorbian education center. Since then, high school, middle school and elementary school have been under one roof.
In 2008, 55 students completed their Abitur at the Sorbian Gymnasium.
