history

Foundation and construction

The school was inaugurated on March 28, 1912 as the “Königliches Gymnasium zu Mülheim am Rhein”, a state humanistic , i.e. old-language, grammar school for boys, already at the current location, the then Domstrasse in the city of Mülheim am Rhein . It emerged from the urban Reformrealgymnasium , today's Rhein-Gymnasium , and was to be run by the state and not by the city for financial reasons.

Construction began in the autumn of 1909 on a piece of land that the city of Mülheim had originally acquired for the construction of a new secondary school for girls. On April 18, 1909, the city's building department had submitted a design for a building in a “modernized baroque style”. The main wing between the Mülheimer Stadtpark and (today's) Graf-Adolf-Straße along (today's) Sonderburger Straße still exists today. The building contained nine classes plus three reserve classes, an auditorium, a sports hall, rooms for the natural sciences and arts subjects and was designed for 280 students. The estimated cost was 475,000 marks , plus 90,000 marks for the property. For cost reasons, the building was not made of sandstone , but of plastered construction. The shell was finished on December 31, 1910. The building was occupied on March 28, 1912. In a pageant, students and teachers moved from the previous school location in Adamstrasse to the new school, where a ceremony took place at 11 a.m., in which the Upper President of the Rhine Province , Baron Georg von Rheinbaben , also took part. The former head of the Reform Realgymnasium, Director Privy Councilor Dr. Felix Roar. At that time about 260 students attended the school and were taught by 15 teachers.

In the First World War were about 40 students and teachers. After the First World War, the front of the auditorium had a monumental mural “The Elevation in August 1914” by the Berlin painter Otto Heinrich Engel , which was destroyed in 1944 as a result of the air raids . It showed a procession of soldiers against the backdrop of Cologne, which is cheered by the population. Over the years the school also had an “institution song” with the refrain: “ We are Germany's youth, fresh and pious, happy and free, German is our virtue, German is our faithful. "

Since 1919 the group “St. Anno ”in the Bund New Germany (since 1971 Catholic youth students ), of which Rainer Maria Wölki was later a member . It broke up in 2002 after the long-term group chaplain Rolf Buschhausen retired.

The school in the time of National Socialism

From 1934 the grammar school was run as the "German Oberschule" and after the Second World War as a state grammar school.

After a review of the documents received from the school archive for the years 1933 to 1945, the headmaster Heinz Windmüller came to the conclusion that the school “also in the period from 1937 to 1945 was rather moderately Nazi according to the circumstances and times”; Most of the teachers are likely to have been followers, albeit almost without exception members of the National Socialist Teachers Association (NSLB) . According to the archives, there must have been some active and convinced National Socialists in the teaching staff. Direct measures against individual Jews cannot be proven, there were neither Jewish students nor Jewish teachers. Some teachers seem to have been hesitant to implement the mandatory treatment of "Hereditary Studies, Racial Studies, Racial Care and Family Studies" for all subjects from 1934; At the teachers' conference of March 23, 1934, the headmaster - dutifully - warned five teachers to do this.

At the beginning of June 1937, 82.7% of the pupils belonged to the Hitler Youth (HJ) , 3.6% were members of a Catholic youth association and 13.7% were not in any association. In 1939 the school was refused the award of the "HJ flag" because the required number of 95% of the student body was not achieved.

Looking back, Heinz Windmüller states that the grammar school could "even be called a Catholic school even during the Nazi era". In 1936 of 286 students, 239 were Catholic, 46 Protestant, and one student was “ German-believing in God ”. On Sundays, the Catholic religion teacher Wilhelm Redding celebrated a Holy Mass at 8 a.m. in the Herz-Jesu-Kirche , which was expressly announced for the state high school in Cologne-Mülheim and which was well attended by teachers and students. Anton Knabben played the organ. A large number of students and teachers took part in the annual Corpus Christi procession , which started from the Church of Our Lady. The group was led by three primary school students wearing school caps and carrying the high school banner . The National Socialists saw this as a provocation and, from 1936, banned the closed participation of school groups in Corpus Christi processions in the city of Cologne. In 1995, as part of a series of events called “HÖLDERLIN Forum”, 50 years after the end of the war, the Hölderlin-Gymnasium invited seven alumni who had attended school during the Nazi era to talk.

From 1939 the school took three students inside on that Easter 1940, the High School took off.

After the start of the war on September 1, 1939, there was soon a shortage of teachers as the younger teachers were called up for military service. Retired teachers were reactivated, and later trainees were increasingly allowed to teach independently. The pupils in the lower grades were evacuated as part of the children's country deportation . Younger and younger age groups were drafted with a secondary school diploma or “Reifevermerk” for labor service , military service or as air force helpers. 39 students and one teacher died or went missing in the war, one teacher committed suicide.

The school was badly destroyed in an air raid on October 28, 1944, and school operations were only possible again from November 1945 with 7 teachers and 48 students in the municipal lyceum , then in changing emergency shelters; In 1946/47 a “special course to obtain the university entrance qualification” was carried out for those pupils who had to interrupt their school career due to the war.

Development until today

In 1949, the school moved into its traditional building with 13 classes in Graf-Adolf-Straße and in 1957 achieved full two-class accommodation after the attic was expanded in 1952. The auditorium was festively inaugurated again in 1953. Until the renovation in 1978 it had an organ built by the organ building company Ernst Seifert junior in Bergisch Gladbach. On the initiative of director Paul Tischbier, this was to be heard as a "sounding memorial for the fallen and deceased teachers and students of the institution". In 1966 their names were documented on two boards to the right and left of the organ prospectus, designed by the art teacher Leonhard Welkens. In the school year 1969/70, a coeducational class was formed for the first time in school history , in which girls and boys were taught together under the direction of senior teacher Hans Kagelmann. As a parallel class, an all-boys class was founded until 1972, all trains were taught co-educationally. From the 1975/76 school year, there was an upper level cooperation with the Genoveva-Gymnasium in order to improve the range of courses for the pupils of both schools. Because the gymnasium was far too small, the auditorium's stage was also used for school sports from the 1970/71 school year. B. to build a trampoline . The organ suffered from this. During the renovation, it became apparent that revising the instrument, removing it, storing it and reinstalling it elsewhere with a changed prospectus would not be economical, so that the school lost its pipe organ. Two registers were sold for the extension of another organ, the gaming table took the organ builder back and many pipes were sold for the benefit of a new electronic instrument on a school party.

In 1962 the school's “Association of Former Students, Friends and Sponsors” was founded as a sponsorship association, and in 2009 a sponsorship association “Hölderlin-Medien eV” was added, through which teachers, parents and business sponsors support the school's media equipment. From the 1962/63 school year onwards, a new language branch with French as a third foreign language was added to the humanistic grammar school. In 1963 it was named after the poet Friedrich Hölderlin , suggested by the headmaster Bruno Rech and following a decision by the teaching staff, and became the "Staatliche Hölderlin-Gymnasium Köln-Mülheim, old-language grammar school with a modern language (Romance) branch".

In 1974 the school administration was transferred to the city of Cologne. From 1978 to 1982 the school was relocated to the former building of the Dreikönigsgymnasium on Thürmchenswall in downtown Cologne due to a thorough structural redesign . The wing with the auditorium and gymnasium was torn down and replaced by an expanded new building that was connected to the previous main building. A mural by the artist Rune Mields, Die Schachlegende vom Weizenkorn, has decorated the facade of the school on Sonderburger Strasse since 1985 . Based on a chessboard, it shows the outlines of the cultural landscapes of Eurasia and North Africa and refers to a legend. In 2002 the sports hall was renovated, and in 2004 the entire interior was renovated; the corridors and doors were given a coat of paint based on a floor-related color code. Newly established scientific rooms have been available since 2008; In 2007, the school received funding as part of the Bayer school funding program for the creation of modern laboratory equipment.

In 2012 the school celebrated its centenary with a multi-part series of events.

In the 1972/73 school year the school had 423 students, 32 of whom were girls and 391 boys. By 1987/88 the number of students rose to 905: 435 girls and 470 boys.

School program

The school describes its goals as follows:

“The HÖLDERLIN-Gymnasium would like to make its students fit for study in a comprehensive sense and encourage them as individually as possible. This is done both through intensive support during the trial stage and through profiling the intermediate level.

• Individual support
• Expansion of social skills
• Strengthening a positive attitude "

- School homepage

Since 2013 the school has offered a triple profile:

• English-bilingual
• mathematical-scientific
• artistic-cultural.

The profile formation begins with a differentiation of the profile classes in grade 7.

The monolingual classes receive increased support in mathematics in lower secondary level. Another didactic focus of the Hölderlin-Gymnasium is the use of information technology in the classroom.

Foreign language lessons

From the 1962/63 school year onwards, a modern language branch with French as a third foreign language was added to the humanistic grammar school with the language sequence Latin - English - Greek. From 1972, English could be chosen as the first foreign language as an alternative to Latin. Since the early 1970s, the language learning program has been expanded to include Russian (first Abitur examination in 1978) in cooperation with the Genoveva-Gymnasium , Italian in 1982 and Spanish in 2000; in the 1950s and 1960s there were also a few Hebrew courses. Greek classes were given up in the 1980s.

In 2006 the establishment of a bilingual English branch began. He replaced "the primacy of ancient languages ​​with a commitment to the language that has taken on the role of the 'lingua franca' in business and science worldwide". After two years of extended English lessons with six hours per week each, bilingual subject teaching begins in the 7th grade ; geography is taught in English for three hours, history in grade 8, and both subjects are taught in English for two hours in grade 9. There is also a one-week trip to England to try out what you have learned in everyday situations in host families. In 2007 the school was awarded the European Language Seal for bilingual teaching.

The starting language today is English, the other foreign languages ​​are Latin and French, optionally from year 6 and Spanish from year 8.

Media literacy

The grammar school received its first computers in 1978. A language laboratory and a computer room were set up in the renovated building that was occupied in 1982 . A media concept adopted by the school conference in 2012 promotes the critical and creative media skills of the pupils, the inclusion of the Internet in lessons and working with laptops. Four laptop trolleys with 16 notebooks each are available for secondary level I, while secondary level II students work with their own devices that can be stored and charged in the school. There are two computer rooms with 25 PC workstations each, further PC workstations are in the self-study center and in the student library. In all classrooms, teachers' rooms and libraries, in the student self-study center and in the break center, Internet access is possible via an internal, closed WLAN network. The concept was developed in close cooperation between teachers and parents and was recognized and promoted by the City of Cologne as a pilot project for other schools. Soon the installation of whiteboards began , gradually replacing the slate boards and other media devices. The project is also supported by sponsors from business who are involved with parents and teachers in the “Hölderlin-Medien eV” development association.

Music and theater

Until the renovation in 1978, the auditorium with the organ was the place for regular celebrations and concerts. Including the gallery, there was room for around 400 people. School choir, school orchestra and students as instrumental soloists offered an annual Christmas concert in December and a music evening before the summer holidays, occasionally supported by members of the Mülheim Chamber Choir, which the school's music teacher, Arnold Haas, has conducted since 1947. Conversely, in the 1960s, the school choir also sang once in the performance of Bach's St. Matthew Passion by the chamber choir. From 1972 onwards there was a number of collaborations with WDR , which broadcast examples from the Hölderlin grammar school as part of its school radio series “Schools make music”; twice students at the school played musical roles in feature films. The youth opera The Emperor's New Clothes by Eberhard Werdin was performed in 1957 and then again in 1988 for the 75th anniversary of the school. In the anniversary year, several former students also took part in a gala concert.

After the renovation in 1978, the auditorium and organ were no longer available, and the more complex timetable no longer allowed joint rehearsals from different grades, so that the focus of the musical work shifted to the music courses, especially the upper grades, and to different choirs and ensembles. who sometimes performed with external groups. A big band was founded in the 1980s, and there was a jazz concert for the first time in January 1986, followed by frequent performances of rock and pop, folklore and musicals - such as a Kölsch musical in 2004 . In 1999 there was another church concert with classical music in the St. Josephs Church in Dellbrück.

Theatrical performances often played a major role in literature classes at Hölderlin-Gymnasium, the pieces shown ranged from a stage version of Hölderlin's novel Hyperion (1996) to The Bald Singer by Eugène Ionesco (1995), Our Little Town by Thornton Wilder (1987) to the imaginary patient of Molière (2009). The investigation by Peter Weiss was performed more than twelve times in 1990, and twice in 1991 as part of Cologne school theater projects on city stages. Again and again the school's presented AG Kölsch Thiater kölsche pieces or adaptations of classics in Kölscher dialect. The Latin working group also repeatedly appeared in public with scenic evenings, for example in 2011 “Catullus meets Ovid”.

School-related activities

For the first time in 1988, grade 9 pupils completed a three-week internship, for which internships in England were also available for ten years from 1990 until structural changes at the English partner schools no longer allowed this. In 2003, a three-week social internship was introduced for grade 11. The afternoon classes, which were introduced in 2009 for the lower secondary level, made it necessary to offer meals during the lunch break. For children in grades 5–7 there is midday care until 4 p.m. in cooperation with the Kolping Educational Center . It emerged from homework support that existed from 2003.

Dispute settlement by pupils has been practiced at the Hölderlin Gymnasium since the 2000/2001 school year. Year 9 pupils are trained to do this every year. In the school yard they can be recognized by the lanyards marked “HöGy Streitschlichter”.

The school has repeatedly had successful school teams in sport - often in cooperation with sports clubs. As early as 1926, a rowing team was founded for the first time in cooperation with Mülheimer water sports , in which 12 students took part. It was dissolved due to the war, in 1962 the tradition was continued with the RTHC Bayer Leverkusen . After the Second World War there was a handball team that had won many awards. In the 1960s and 1970s, the volleyball team was Cologne city champion three times, and the basketball team was unbeatable for a long time. The tennis team won the Cologne city championship in 1987 and just missed the state championship of North Rhine-Westphalia.

For the first time in 1959 a ski trip was offered to the middle school students, first in the Sauerland , since 1963 in the Black Forest , where the youth hostel Hebelhof am Feldberg was usually the destination. Later it also went to South Tyrol. Class and course trips lead to the Bergisches Land and the Eifel for the lower classes , to Greece (first in 1965), Malta or Italy for the older ones, often to Great Britain and the European capitals.

Since 1977 the school has been participating with a group almost every year in the Cologne Schull- un Veedelszöch and in a carnival procession in Mülheim and Dellbrück. The motto is usually determined through a school competition, the preparations with uniform costumes for the hundred or so participants in the train are made jointly by pupils, parents and teachers.

School partnerships have been established since the 1980s with schools in Turin (Albert Einstein High School), Lille , Rosmalen , Prague and South Benfleet ( Essex , Great Britain).
