history

In 1869, in what was then the Kingdom of Bohemia (now the Czech Republic ), the glass technical school in Haida (today: Nový Bor ) was founded, which was merged in 1926 with the glass technical school in Steinschönau ( Kamenický Šenov ), which was established in 1856 . Both schools were instrumental in the development of Bohemian glass art .

After the Second World War, as part of the expulsion of the Sudeten Germans from Czechoslovakia, many skilled glass workers and a large part of the teaching staff of the Steinschönau-Haida Glass School moved to the area around Rheinbach in order to continue the tradition of glassmaking. Rheinbach, which was badly damaged by the war, had decided to build up the glass industry as a "chimney-free industry that should not disturb the character of the city" and from 1947 onwards it systematically settled glass specialists.

Founding of the glass school

On April 1, 1948, the State Glass College was opened in Rheinbach under the city director Victor Römer and with the support of Prime Minister Karl Arnold , the Ministry of Economic Affairs in Düsseldorf, the Bonn Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the Cologne Chamber of Crafts . It can be seen as a successor to or a new establishment of the Glass School in Steinschönau. Rheinbach thus began to develop as the “City of Glass”.

Alfred Dorn, who had been in charge of the Steinschönau technical college since 1937, was appointed the first head of the school. The former mayor's office in front of Voigtstor , which was damaged during the war , was made available and repaired by the city as a school building. The glass school was initially to be run as a municipal facility, but was then taken over by the North Rhine-Westphalian state government as a state facility. On April 1, 1948, the school began with 30 students. In the following years, the school presented itself at glass trade fairs in Munich, Hanover, Frankfurt and Düsseldorf as well as in specialist magazines. At the beginning of the 1950s the school was recognized in the industry and in the following years developed into one of the leading special schools for glass and ceramics in Germany.

After the number of students had risen sharply, a larger school building became necessary. In September 1964, the school started operations in a new building on the street Zu den Fichten . The Rheinbach house was built in December 1996 . This youth hostel accepts students from the state vocational school in the vocational college for the time of vocational school lessons. Up to 78 students can be accommodated in an area of ​​2327 square meters.

Foundation of the friends' association

In 1953 the Association of Friends and Supporters of the State Glass College was founded. Members of the association are predominantly specialists from the glass industry, the glazier trade and the ceramics industry. The school receives ideal, technical and material support. The association runs the boarding school for glass technical students.

"Independent School" project

From April 2002 to August 2008, the college took part as an “independent school” in a project of the same name by the Ministry of Education, Science and Research of North Rhine-Westphalia and the Bertelsmann Foundation .

today

The vocational college is the oldest department and runs the vocational school for glass technology and glass design. There is also a vocational school for design (both graphics and media / communication), a year-long vocational school for media, a technical college for design, the FOS13 - Abitur class for designers and the state vocational school for glass and ceramics. In addition, students can complete a year of vocational primary school and live in the adjoining dormitory. Rheinbach was the fifth vocational college in the Rhein-Sieg district to offer the vocational high school branch and thus a double qualification (general higher education entrance qualification and qualification as a design assistant).
