The primary and district school Eppendorf ( GSE for short ) is a school in the Hamburg district of Hoheluft-Ost , which has been a district school since August 1, 2010 . The temporary separation of elementary school and secondary school was lifted on August 1, 2011. It was previously called the Eppendorf Comprehensive School . It emerged in the early 1990s from the Breitenfelder Strasse school opened in 1912 , the adjoining Löwenstrasse girls' school , which opened at the same time, and the Curschmannstrasse Lyceum , which opened at the end of the 1920s . These schools form a rectangle on Breitenfelder Straße, Curschmannstraße, Martinistraße and Löwenstraße, in which allotments used to fill the space between the Lyceum and the other two schools.

history

The previous school at Breitenfelder Straße 35 was set up after the First World War for school trials and reforms, influenced by Wilhelm Lamszus and Fritz Jöde , and was therefore called a reform school. In it was coeducational classes instead, for it not limited school district was provided. Because of the progressive nature of the concept, it was mainly visited by middle-class children, including many from free-thinking Jewish families. When they started school in 1929 and 1930, the proportion of Jewish children was around 50 percent.

The concept turned out to be a disadvantage over time, because the majority of the pupils switched to high schools after fourth grade. The upper classes were therefore often not sufficiently staffed. It remains to be seen whether a so-called superstructure , which led to the secondary school leaving certificate, was set up in the school for this reason .

The previous school Lyzeum Curschmannstrasse, a building by the well-known architect Fritz Höger from 1924–26, was set up in 1940 as a reserve hospital. The schoolgirls then had to share the building at Hegestrasse 35 with the pupils of what was then the high school for boys in Eppendorf, alternating four hours a week in the morning and four in the afternoon.

architecture

The three-wing system was built from 1926 to 1928 based on a competition design by Fritz Höger from 1919. The spatial plan follows the principles of the pre-war school form: the specialist rooms, auditorium and gymnasium are in the transverse wings, the classrooms on the courtyard side of the central wing. The reinforced concrete structure is clad with red clinker bricks. The rhythmically structured group of different building blocks with the outdoor facilities shows the influence of the "modernity", while the wall structure and detailed design can be considered expressionistic. The three-wing structure corresponds to the school buildings by Fritz Schumacher from the same time, the building is probably the only design from this time that was not by Schumacher.

The building on Löwenstraße is the former elementary school Breitenfelder Straße, which was built from 1910 to 1912 according to designs by Albert Erbe and was expanded to include a new building. This houses the primary school classes.

Numbers and dates

In the 2013/14 school year, the college is composed of

  • 86 teachers
  • 6 special educators
  • 8 social educators
  • 6 trainee teachers

They look after 220 primary school students in nine classes as well as the pre-school class, as well as around 800 secondary school students.

Educational concept

The main pillars of the school program are social learning, cooperation within and between years as well as the increased use of computers. The promotion and integration of students with a disability is implemented in the form of integration and inclusion classes. In the field of arts education, a big band for students is offered, which can be taken from secondary level II in cooperation with the Ida-Ehre comprehensive school as a music-practical course for the Abitur.

The Eppendorf district school was five environmental schools in Europe in 1996/97, 1997/98, 1998/99 and 2000/01. In this project, a student group worked out ideas on how to save electricity and raw materials. In addition, there were teaching blocks on the subject of “protecting the environment and raw materials” in the years of participation.

In 2012 and 2013, the GSE was Hamburg's state winner in the cross-country skiing competition "Youth trained for the Olympics" (JtfO) with a girls' team in age group III and 2013 JtfO state winner in the athletics competition for boys WK III (approx. 12 to 15 years) . GSE represented Hamburg with these teams at the national finals in Schonach / Black Forest and Berlin.

The school bears the seal of approval "School with an exemplary career and study orientation".
