The Technical Vocational School 1 (TBS1) is a vocational college in Bochum with technical courses of education and training. The specialist areas are: metal / mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, information technology and chemical engineering.

Extensive renovations and extensions have been carried out on the building since 2010. State -of-the-art chemistry laboratories were set up in the rooms of the former grammar school on the Ostring . In 2017, large parts of the fire protection renovation in the main building were completed. The building on the Ostring itself is a listed building together with the Walter Gropius Vocational College.

Educational offers

The basis of the educational offer is the APO-BK. of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia .

The courses at the vocational school are taught part-time, those at the vocational school full-time, those at the technical school in part-time, shift or full-time form and the technical college in part-time and full-time form.

TBS1 courses according to subject area and APO-BK systems

Metal and mechanical engineering is traditionally the area of ​​TBS1 with the most students. This is justified by the fact that Bochum had an economic focus on the metal-producing and metal-processing industry for a long time. By setting up new, modern workshops such as a robot laboratory, the learning environment was adapted to the requirements of digitization in companies. In the professional school (Appendix A1.1) following formation programs are taught: Industriemechaniker , Zerspanungsmechaniker , precision mechanics , Verfahrensmechaniker and Technical product designer . In addition, the technical college for mechanical engineering (Appendix E3) and a one-year vocational college (Appendix B2) with the aim of obtaining a technical college entrance qualification are offered in this area .

Electrical engineering is the area with the second most students. In the vocational school (Appendix A1.1) the following courses are taught: electronics technician for energy and building technology , electronics technician for industrial engineering and mechatronics technician . In addition, the technical college for electrical engineering (Appendix E3), a one-year vocational school (Appendix B2) with the aim of technical college entrance qualification and a two-year vocational school with the aim of technical college entrance qualification (Appendix C2) are offered in this area.

Information technology is the area with the greatest growth rate. In the vocational school (Appendix A1.1) the following courses are taught: IT specialist specializing in application development, IT specialist specializing in system integration and IT system electronics . The information technology assistant is offered in the three-year vocational school (Appendix C1) .

Chemical engineering is the area that has been equipped with ultra-modern laboratories in the field of measurement and testing technology in recent years. In the professional school (Appendix A1.1) is Chemikant taught. In addition, the three-year vocational school (Appendix C1) with the chemical-technical assistant and the technical school for chemical engineering with a focus on industrial engineering and laboratory technology (Appendix E3) are offered in this area.

The technical college takes place in the fields of metal technology, electrical engineering or chemical engineering.

The international remedial classes have existed at the vocational college since summer 2015. Its aim is to impart German language skills to young migrants from war and crisis areas around the world and to open up opportunities for entry into the German educational system.

History of TBS1 in the context of vocational training in Bochum

1815 to 1870: Craftsmen's training school and trade school

After the Congress of Vienna , which reorganized Europe after the defeat of Napoleon , the economy in Prussia was to be promoted through far-reaching reforms so that the state would receive sufficient and regular fiscal income. To secure the income from mining , which had developed from an agricultural sideline to an independent trade during this time, trained managers were needed. To meet this need and to improve the often inadequate education of miners, the Westphalian mountain school was established in Bochum in 1816. The necessary financial means were raised by the mining companies, the lessons were given part-time by officials of the mining authorities.

Portrait of Peter Beuth on a postage stamp

In order to promote business and industry in the Prussian province of Westphalia , Christian Wilhelm Peter Beuth (1781–1853), as head of department in the Prussian Ministry of the Interior , initiated the establishment of a commercial training facility, a trade school , in Hagen in 1824 . This was a crafts school that was further developed in terms of organization and teaching content and was clearly differentiated from teaching at grammar schools and universities - here, not scientific, but practical knowledge should be imparted. Initially, the promotion of trade through technical education was overlaid by the need of the bourgeoisie for the social integration of the lower classes of the population. The craft-guild traditions were linked with school-based learning in the advanced training school, which was supposed to deal with the deficits of the elementary school on Sunday. The lessons were therefore limited to German (reading the New Testament, writing Biblical proverbs), arithmetic and geometry.

When Jacob Mayer opened a cast steel factory in 1844 , the Bochum administration pushed for the opening of a Sunday advanced training school. With the help of experts, the building manager Crone and the mountain assessor Küper, the attempt was made to build on the good experiences of the mountain school and to win over construction workers to attend the school. The workers of the developing industrial plants were not yet taken into account. An attempt was made to meet the increasing demand for skilled workers for the middle and upper management level in industry by training suitable craftsmen and young students. Since there were not enough training places - in Westphalia only the trade school in Hagen - new trade schools were set up in Iserlohn and Bochum.

On November 17, 1851, the Ministry of Trade and Industry approved the opening of a provincial trade school for the city of Bochum, for which a separate building was built at Wittener Strasse 7 (today Massenbergstrasse) in 1853/54. The move took place on May 1, 1854. The first headmaster until 1853 was Gustav Carl Hermann Halleur, a doctor and specialist in the new technology of photography; he was followed by Franz Ferdinand Bothe, who became head of the Saarbrücken trade school in the fall of 1856 . Karl Bardeleben was the third director of the young school until 1873.

Bochum trade school before 1870

According to the organizational decree of June 5, 1850, a craft training school was attached to each provincial trade school under joint management. The teachers at the vocational school also taught at the advanced training school, taking into account their hours. The subjects of German, mathematics, commercial arithmetic, physics, mechanics and mechanical engineering, chemistry and chemical technology, building design and (technical) drawing were taught all day. After two (possibly three) years, the license to visit the trade institute in Berlin was acquired with the degree , the time as a trainee until the master craftsman examination was shortened to one year. Anyone who was at least 14 years old and possessed knowledge that could be acquired at a grammar school or a higher middle school by the fourth grade could be accepted. Young workers could prepare for the visit either at the craftsmen's training school or in a pre-class for the trade school.

The growing qualification requirements in industry and the efforts of the Association of German Engineers (VDI), the advocacy group for engineers, to gain more social recognition led to efforts to reorganize the trade school in Prussia in the second half of the 1860s. In the opinion of the VDI, a connection to the “authorization system” of the Prussian grammar schools should be found by increasing the initial qualification and including general educational content. Both strands of interest then led to the organizational decree of the Ministry of Commerce for the trade school of March 20, 1870, in which the extension of the trade school to 3 years and the establishment of a separate trade nursery school was planned. The organizational connection to the advanced training school was dissolved.

At the same time, attempts were made to increase the acceptance of the advanced training school in Bochum. Although the Bochum Local Police Ordinance of February 11, 1853, the "apprentices of all trades for which a master craftsman examination is required" or could be required to attend the craftsmen's advanced training school, the lessons at the municipal advanced training school were attended only slowly, the course content was apparently not accepted by the Bochum craftsmen. At the beginning of 1865 they founded a private advanced training school under the direction of the grammar school director Seidel, which was continued as a municipal school in 1869. In the first few years, lessons took place in the gymnasium. In 1870, the vocational school teacher Hüser was entrusted with the part-time management of the advanced training school, which is now separated from the vocational school.

1871 to 1918: From vocational school to advanced training school, technical school and secondary school

Bochum trade school from 1870 to 1918

The reorganized "Royal Provincial Trade School" developed into a sought-after higher school during the rapid industrial rise of Bochum. It was attended by 253 students in 1875, the grammar school by 240 students. The preparatory class for the trade academy was particularly popular, while the trade classes were hardly attended. In 1873/74 the chemical-technical class came into being, in 1875/76 the mechanical engineering class and in 1878/79 the structural engineering class. After all, the situation in the growing industrial city of Bochum differed from that of almost all other Royal Provincial Trade Schools, which in 1877 only taught 63 students in the specialist classes in all 19 schools.

The rise in the level of the trade school due to the progressive academization of engineering training and the success of the preparatory class for the trade academy simultaneously led to a lack of suitable skilled workers for the middle level in the ironworks and machine works. This conflict of interest was resolved by initiating the end of this educational institution in 1878 with the resolution to dissolve the “Gewerbeschule” institution. The preparation for academic vocational training and higher professions in the public service has now been separated from the vocational training for medium-sized and higher skilled workers in the private sector.

At the same time, problems arose in many cities in the Ruhr area to integrate working youth into the civil society of the German Empire; therefore, efforts increased to oblige working (male) young people to attend advanced training schools. A minister of education decree of June 17, 1874 made it possible for the first time to pay subsidies to increase the business ability of the working classes through advanced training schools. At the same time, the first general regulations on the establishment of advanced training schools were enacted. a. provided for the opening of schools to factory workers. The craftsmen's advanced training school was therefore renamed on February 26, 1875 as the “municipal advanced training school”.

Since the headmaster Hüser moved to the Beckum district as a district school inspector, director Schütz, head of the Protestant secondary school for girls, became a part-time advanced training school director in April 1877. The district government in Arnsberg promised the city of Bochum an annual grant of 5000 marks for the operation of the compulsory advanced training school. In Bochum, therefore, by the local statute of January 11, 1878, “journeymen, assistants and apprentices, provided they are not over sixteen” obliged to attend the advanced training school.

On April 1, 1882, the Bochum trade school was divided into a municipal citizens' school (without Latin) and a lower “technical school for machine and ironworkers”. This started teaching as the " Rheinisch-Westfälische Hüttenschule " on July 3, 1882 with the specialist classes for mechanical engineering and metallurgy. This met the efforts of the "Association of German Ironworkers", which was supported by the Bochum mining school director Hugo Schultz. There, foremen for the mechanical engineering and iron and steel industries should be trained in 3 semesters.

The prerequisite for admission to the technical school was an elementary school degree and four years of professional experience. The mechanical engineering graduates mainly worked as mechanical engineers in mining, a smaller number as foremen in mechanical engineering. Almost half of the participants received grants from companies in the Ruhr area. But the school in Bochum was closed before the expiry of the twelve-year contract agreed between the Ministry of Commerce and the City of Bochum. The Rheinisch-Westfälische Hüttenschule was moved to Duisburg in 1891 and then to the royal Prussian mechanical engineering and smelting school.

At Easter 1887 the citizenship school was transformed into a secondary school and from April 1, 1892 into a nine-class upper secondary school, today's Goethe school . For the next few decades, there was no longer any institution of “higher” commercial-technical education for employees in the metallurgical industry and mechanical engineering in Bochum. The training of the “machine climbers” in mining, which previously took place in the hut school, was now carried out by the mountain school.

The large industrial companies in Bochum supported compulsory advanced training. The commercial advanced training school now offered German, arithmetic, bookkeeping, natural science / physics and technical drawing. In the lower level, the elementary school material was repeated and deepened, taking into account industrial and commercial practical needs. In the upper level, the students were differentiated according to activities with (construction) drawing (Section A) and more non-graphic content (Section B). In Department B, the focus was on commercial arithmetic and interest calculation as well as decorative drawing. In the “Selecta”, which was mainly attended by volunteer students with an apprenticeship qualification or with long professional experience, demanding job-related subjects were taught that went beyond the content of the teaching. In these classes mainly practitioners and trade school teachers taught part-time. But the other teachers (elementary school teachers, grammar school teachers, mountain school teachers) and the school management also carried out their duties on a part-time basis. This was also made possible by the location of the lessons in the evening hours from 7.30 p.m. to 9.30 p.m. and on Sunday mornings.

In the report of the government school inspector in Arnsberg, Government Councilor Lodemann, the Bochum advanced training school was described as leading in the Ruhr area in 1880. But Bochum craftsmen demanded the abolition of compulsory further education; they were dependent on the labor of the apprentices. In other ways, too, the craftsmen tried to circumvent compulsory training under various pretexts and to prevent apprentices from continuing to attend school after compulsory training. In contrast to this, many industrial companies in Bochum and the Bergisch-Märkische Eisenbahn required the apprentices to attend the advanced training school even after compulsory schooling ended, and the teacher then paid the necessary school fees.

The school organization introduced in 1878 remained in principle until the 1902/03 school year, with a “metalworking class” being set up to further qualify older skilled workers in the industry. It can be assumed that the Bochum advanced training school was informed about the qualification needs of the Bochum industry through the use of engineers from Bochum industry as part-time teachers and through contacts at school management level, so that “the advanced training school is able to take on certain technical functions due to its organizational structure and was able to provide real qualifications beyond the life-course institutionalizing effect. [...] The fact that there was a need on the part of industry for the professional qualifications offered is evident from the fact that companies support school attendance. ”But it was also true of industrial company training that it not only fulfilled qualifying but not least also socializing functions, At the same time, it was about securing the education of young people who worked commercially. The hope of professional advancement therefore raised the number of students to 490 in 1888.

While schools for Catholic and Protestant “higher daughters” were established at the same time as the grammar school in 1860 and 1865, a voluntary advanced training school for women was only opened in 1885, in which “female handicrafts” were taught in two hours in the afternoons. This was followed in 1891 by a housekeeping school for "daughters of the working classes".

Commercial content was insufficiently taught in the commercial advanced training school, so that the Bochum merchants and leading industrialists worked towards the establishment of a correspondingly specialized advanced training school. On October 29, 1888, the commercial association was able to open a commercial training school under the direction of the Realschuldirektor Liebhold.

The expansion of compulsory further education to all young industrial workers by changing the local statute of October 12, 1891 led to a further increase in the number of pupils. On June 28, 1892, 557 students attended the Bochum advanced training school. It became clear that increasingly specialized teaching required a school management. The former commercial and now mountain school teacher Ing.Gerhard Oldenburger became a part-time director of the municipal commercial advanced training school in 1894. The orientation of the advanced training school to the professional qualification requirements and the socialization of young industrialists was taken into account in the amendment of the regulations for advanced training schools in 1897 by the trade regulation amendment.

At the same time, with the amendment, journeyman's examinations were introduced, the implementation of which was entrusted to the chambers of crafts. The examination committee consisted of members of the guild and journeymen; Further education teachers were not provided. With the supervision of the chambers of crafts over the apprenticeship system, the craft was further promoted as a state-sustaining force and the craft vocational training became the prototype of non-academic training in Germany. Other forms of training organization remained the exception: "The apprenticeship period can also be completed in a large company belonging to the trade and replaced by a visit to a training workshop or other commercial teaching institution."

The advanced training school has now had a permanent place in the Bochum school landscape. When the secondary school moved into a new building on Goethestrasse in 1898, the inner-city school building at 7 Wittener Strasse was continued to be used by the advanced training school. The previous school building at Roonstrasse 22-24, one building has now been given over to the commercial school.

In 1905, in addition to the headmaster Oldenburger (Bergsch.), The machine technician Görlitz, the drawing teachers Graff (Gymn.), Grunewald and Herwig (Oberrealsch.), Building authority technicians Middelmenne and Rust, as well as teaching at the municipal advanced training schools for men and women and the associated technical schools 20 primary school teachers. In addition, the architect Gerbens and building authority assistant Kerstein taught for the construction workers, as well as three teachers in the women's clothing school and two teachers in the housekeeping school.

The consolidation was continued in 1907 with the appointment of the high school drawing teacher Wilhelm Grunewald as the first full-time director of all commercial advanced training schools. He remained in office through the difficult war and post-war period until 1922.

In the "Regulations on the facilities and curricula of commercial and commercial advanced training schools" issued by the Minister for Trade and Commerce on July 1, 1911, new foundations were created for Prussia - and thus also for Bochum. The subjects of the advanced training school were now: 1. Vocational and citizen studies a) Technical knowledge b) Business customers c) Citizenship studies 2. a) Arithmetic b) Bookkeeping 3. Drawing 4. Workshop lessons 5. Voluntary events a) Religious instruction b) Youth care facilities c ) Voluntary courses. A breakdown according to occupation and learning progress was laid down and the general principles for teaching that “should be based on the workshop procedure as much as possible” “and, if possible, simple experiments, samples, models, sketches etc. are to be used. Business and civic education should be placed in the 'focus of teaching' ”.

1918 to 1945: In the growth phase

The vocational school was recognized by the state through Article 145 of the Weimar Constitution: “There is general compulsory education. The primary school with at least eight school years and the subsequent advanced training school up to the age of eighteen serve to fulfill them. The lessons and the learning materials in elementary schools and advanced training schools are free of charge ”. However, also because of the costs of expanding compulsory vocational schooling, during the Weimar Republic there was never a parliamentary majority for legal regulations either in Prussia or in the entire Reich. In Prussia it is still regulated by local statutes, the final certificate still does not grant the right to enter higher schools or positions.

But already in the first years of the young republic the vocational school received new additional tasks. From Bochum it was reported in 1920: “All warriors in the province of Westphalia whose limbs have been shot will from now on be housed in the local miners' salvation. [...] A course has been set up for these brave heroes at the commercial advanced training school in Bochum. It extends to business customers, arithmetic and commercial bookkeeping. "

In addition to the reintegration of those involved in the war, the vocational schools were given a new task to combat the dramatic youth unemployment between 1923 and 1926 by expanding compulsory schooling. On October 1, 1922, the advanced training school teacher Anton Cramer became director of the “Städt. Vocational and Trade School ”in Wittener Str. 7 in Bochum and immediately has to face these difficult tasks. By local statute of April 20, 1924, the compulsory vocational schooling for unmarried, also unemployed, young people of both sexes in Bochum was extended up to the age of 18.

After overcoming the political instability of the Ruhr area in the early years of the Weimar Republic through the uprising of workers in the Ruhr area (Red Ruhr Army) that broke out to defend against the Kapp Putsch in 1920 and through the Franco-Belgian occupation of the Ruhr in 1923/24, further organizational measures were taken. The Bochum vocational school was expanded in 1924 to include a technical college, which enables a full-time degree for foremen in two semesters and an industrial technician degree in three semesters. The attendance of the technical school requires the elementary school qualification and a longer employment or an apprenticeship. This full-time training is also to be seen in the context of the measures of the Reich government, which “pursue the goal of maintaining the willingness of the young unemployed to work and neutralizing pernicious influences and temptations from their environment”.

The high unemployment in the global economic crisis since 1929, the expansion of the chemical industry, the high demand for chemical investigations in the steel manufacturing industry and in mining promoted the emergence of new full-time professions in chemistry in the Ruhr area. At the same time as the “Guidelines for the Training and Testing of Chemical Technicians” issued by the Prussian Ministry of Trade on August 28, 1931, the Bochum technical school was expanded to include a department for chemical technicians. For their attendance, a “secondary school leaving certificate” or a good elementary school qualification, a lengthy practical experience and an entrance examination were required, but no vocational training. The training could be completed in three semesters full-time or correspondingly longer in evening courses. In addition to the main office in the city center, many of the suburbs that were incorporated in 1929 now have branches of the compulsory vocational school.

The savings ordinances to overcome the global economic crisis after 1931 brought about drastic cuts in salaries for vocational school teachers , the amalgamation of classes up to 40 students, the reduction in the number of hours per week and the partial abolition of compulsory vocational schooling .

With the seizure of power by the Nazis in 1933, the National Socialist ideology held immediately by the new school subjects economics and political science and poor customer entered the vocational school. In the same year the Reichsberufswettkampf was brought into being by the HJ and the German Labor Front (DAF) , in which professional practice, professional theory, German, arithmetic, general political studies and sport were examined. One of the most important training companies in Bochum, the Bochumer Verein , was one of the first Reich winners of the competition , which thus fulfilled one of the prerequisites for being recognized as a NS model company in 1937. In 1937, the DAF also opened the first company vocational training center in the Bochum association, competing with the Bochum company technical school. In order to meet the changed requirements, on April 1, 1937, around 50 commercial classes (e.g. textile and grocery salesmen) who had previously attended the commercial vocational school were transferred to the commercial school of the Chamber of Industry and Commerce and a few more followed in 1940 Post Young Man classes.

In the course of bringing the public service into line, a “ Reich Ministry for Science, Education and National Education ” (RMfWEV, REM) was set up on May 1, 1934 by Reich decree. As a result, school sovereignty passed from the federal states to the Reich and at the same time the basis for a hierarchical organization of the vocational school system was created. The department for vocational and technical schools in the REM initiated some important changes over the next few years, which continue to have an impact today. Since October 29, 1937 "there were only three types of vocational schools:

  1. Vocational schools as part-time compulsory schools accompanying apprenticeships,
  2. Vocational schools as voluntary full-time vocational schools,
  3. Technical schools as complementary voluntary full-time schools "

On July 6, 1938, the law on compulsory schooling in the German Reich ( Reichsschulpflichtgesetz ) was passed, which was largely based on the drafts of a Reichsschulgesetz drawn up between 1921 and 1928. This law stipulates that eight years of compulsory primary schooling must be followed by three years of compulsory attendance at vocational school. The duration of the weekly compulsory instruction was set on June 5, 1940 at 6 hours per week for general trade and 8 hours per week for commercial and industrial vocational schools with specialist sign instruction. At the same time, increased efforts were made to standardize in-company training and vocational school instruction by means of imperial curricula and to relate them more closely to one another.

Before the start of the war in 1939, the “municipal commercial vocational and technical schools”, as they were now called, attended 6,103 students. In the following years, an orderly school operation was hardly possible, as many trade teachers were called up for military service and the vocational school buildings and workshops in Wittener Straße 25 (formerly No. 7) and Trankgasse 5 were badly damaged by the air raids on Bochum's city center from 1943 to 1945 suffered. By decree of September 1, 1944 (RdErl. D. RMfWEV of September 1, 1944 -RV391 / 44-), all schools based on voluntary school attendance, including the business school and the classes for chemical technicians, were closed. All of the volunteer students were conscripted and the teachers were distributed to the compulsory vocational schools, which were suffering from a lack of staff due to the war.

1945 to 1957: In the renewal phase and the establishment of the vocational schools on the Ostring

In connection with the founding of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia on July 17, 1946, the British occupying forces allowed the start of a school in Bochum with the school system handed down from the prewar period. On July 10, 1946, teaching at the vocational and technical schools under municipal sponsorship was resumed with 12 teachers employed by the city of Bochum after approval by the occupation authorities. At the compulsory vocational school, 1253 pupils were trained in 45 classes in the occupational groups of metal, construction, clothing and foodstuffs. The courses were taught in the job-related subjects of specialist knowledge, technical arithmetic and technical drawing, with the last two subjects oriented towards specialist knowledge and the general subjects of religion (since 1948), citizenship and business (later: economics). In the absence of suitable rooms, the theory lessons took place in the primary school building at Feldsieper Strasse 94. The ruins in Trankgasse were prepared for workshop lessons.

Since the headmaster Anton Cramer retired in 1946 due to illness, the head of department Josef Fickermann became the new vocational school director on March 1, 1947. In 1946/47, young people who were required to attend vocational school were trained with six to eight hours of instruction. From April 15, 1947, volunteer students were again admitted to the technical college and technical college for chemical engineers. In the form of a day, the examination as "operating technician" could be taken after one year. The part-time form graduated after two years as a "foreman" and after three years as an industrial or chemical technician. At the same time, the Bochum vocational school received preliminary approval to begin advanced courses to acquire the “technical college entrance qualification”. In March 1950, the Bochum vocational school was one of the first schools to hold final exams for the technical college entrance qualification. At Easter 1950, lessons in the "Gewerbliche Berufsfachschule" started with 27 students. Elementary school graduates were theoretically and practically prepared for vocational training in one year. On January 15, 1951, 3894 schoolchildren and 87 schoolgirls again attended the industrial vocational, technical and technical schools. Of these, 0.5% had a high school diploma and 6.9% had an intermediate or upper secondary school leaving certificate. Lessons were given by 56 full-time and 51 part-time teachers.

With the KM decree of February 4, 1953, the “foreman” department of the technical school was dissolved. The master craftsman courses at the technical college were replaced by master craftsman courses from the Chamber of Commerce and Industry. The industrial engineering and chemical engineering departments are now aimed at experienced applicants who have been tested in 1440 lessons in three years of part-time tuition (12 lessons per week) or one year of full-time lessons (36 lessons per week).

After lengthy planning, the new construction of the commercial vocational schools began on November 15, 1952 on the Ostring property (formerly Bismarckstrasse) between Scharnhorststrasse, Wittener Strasse and the railway line, the site of the former district building. The ensemble was placed under monument protection in 2004. In June 1955, building 1 was occupied for the metal industry. The Bochum artist Ignaz Geitel designed the hallways and rooms of the house in color. Building 2 (construction, clothing, food and arts and crafts) was finished in the shell. The number of students continued to rise, on November 15, 1955, 6,849 students attended the school. They were taught five to six hours a week by 58 full-time and 49 part-time teachers.

In 1957, the vocational school for boys was able to move into the remaining part of the new buildings on the Ostring. In connection with this, on October 1, 1957, the school was divided into the two institutions “Municipal commercial vocational, vocational and technical schools 1 (metalworking)” (GBS1) with 4153 students and “Municipal commercial vocational and technical schools 2 (construction, art -, Food and Clothing Industry) ”(GBS2) with 2815 students. The two schools are now called “Technical Vocational School 1” and “Walter Gropius Vocational College”. An official course facility of the German Association for Welding Technology was opened in the workshops , which has existed at the school for over 50 years and was only closed in 2012 due to lack of resources.

1957 to 1994: Stabilization and expansion of the range

The vocational school director Josef Fickermann continued to run the commercial vocational, technical and technical schools 1 until he was retired in 1962. His deputy Karl Beuckelmann, in this position since 1959, became the vocational school director on April 1, 1963. At the end of 1963, Heinrich König, head of trade, became the new deputy director. On November 15, 1963, 4,394 students attended GBS1, so that out of 41 full-time teachers only an average of six hours of instruction were given in the vocational school. So that all vocational school students in Bochum could have almost the same amount of lessons, the city council decided to move the automotive engineering department from GBS1 to GBS2 at the beginning of the 1964/65 school year. 28 classes and only one teacher changed schools.

In 1965, a total of 4249 students attended GBS1 in 130 vocational school classes, 15 technical school classes, 11 classes from the vocational school and one vocational school class. They were trained by 42 full-time and 63 part-time teachers. With effect from April 1, 1966, the careers of vocational school teachers were brought into line with grammar school teachers: senior commercial teachers became university councilors, department heads became senior university councilors, department heads became course directors and vocational school directors became senior course directors.

The discussion on education policy in the sixth decade led to various reforms in the German education system, which also had an impact on the GBS1. The duration of the “commercial-technical vocational school” was extended from one to two years in 1966, so that in addition to basic vocational training in the metal sector, the technical college entrance qualification could also be achieved.

As part of the alignment of the “higher technical schools” with the European higher education system, engineering schools became technical colleges in 1969; instead of the “technical college qualification”, the “technical college qualification” was introduced after the twelfth school year. A technical college (FOS) was therefore set up at GBS1 in 1969, while the advanced vocational school came to an end. The FOS taught both full-time and part-time in the evenings. Applicants who completed vocational training after completing secondary school were able to catch up on the “Fachoberschulreife” in one year at FOS10. The first year began with 374 students in 14 classes, who were taught by 1 full-time and 21 part-time teachers. The school name changes to "Municipal commercial vocational, vocational, technical and technical colleges 1" (GBS1). Due to recognition problems in the KMK, the FOS10 was replaced in 1977 by the one and a half year advanced vocational school.

The 1969 Vocational Training Act put in-company training on a secure legal basis and formed the basis for the 1972 reorganization, which mostly included industrial electrical professions that originated in the pre-war period. The system of level training consisting of two-year basic occupations and one and a half years of specialist occupations based on this provided for theoretical lessons that dealt with the same content twice at different levels. Joint training of industrial trainees with apprenticeships or telecommunications technicians from the Bundespost was therefore difficult.

The technical schools were designated in 1968 by the Conference of Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs (KMK) as places of "in-depth professional training and further education". In the course of these changes, the training period at GBS1 was extended to full-time to two years and part-time to four years.

A special form of the part-time technical school in industrial engineering for shift workers offered parallel lessons in the mornings and evenings so that the students could choose to attend lessons in the morning or in the evening, depending on their working hours. The technical college "Chemotechnik" was now clearly located in the further education area. The type of school was renamed "Fachschule für Chemietechnik". At the federal level, the training and examination in technical schools with a two-year duration was standardized on October 27, 1980 by a KMK framework agreement.

When the colliery died out between 1960 and 1970, not only jobs but also apprenticeships in the chemical sector, in the quality control of the mines, were lost. In order to mitigate these consequences and since the chemical technician training was finished as initial training, the GBS1 expanded the vocational school in 1976 to include full-time vocational training for chemical-technical assistants (CTA). Middle school students obtained a vocational qualification in two years. In a special class, members of the Goetheschule who had taken the advanced chemistry course in upper secondary school could acquire the CTA professional qualification in addition to their Abitur in three years. This anticipated connection between general and vocational education ended with the renewed reform of the upper secondary school in 1995.

As a further measure to combat the shortage of apprenticeships that has existed since 1975 and to prepare for training in the metalworking profession, GBS1 set up classes for the vocational preparation year from the 1978/79 school year, which was later converted into a basic vocational training year.

After a long career, the deputy headmaster Heinrich König retired in 1982. He was followed in 1983 by Fritz Erven, who died the next year at the age of 50.

In 1985 Hermann Meyer was his successor as deputy headmaster. In the following year Karl Beuckelmann reached the age limit after 26 years in the school management. The new headmaster was Siegfried Strauss, head of GBS1 in 1987, who, like Hermann Meyer, had already attended the school as a vocational and professional development student.

In 1987 the next reorganization of the industrial electrical professions and the telecommunications tradesman of the Deutsche Bundespost took place as a reaction to the increased requirements due to the technological upheavals, but above all by abolishing the level of training that has come under criticism. The majority of the training regulations for industrial metal trades, some of which date from 1937/38, have been revised. The training period for all professions was at least three years.

With the reorganization of the manual metal and electrical trades, which was completed in 1988, a professional ability to act was aimed at analogous to the industry, which included independent planning, implementation and control. In teaching at the vocational school, this required greater consideration of action and project-oriented procedures. According to the new framework curriculum, the names and number of subjects also changed: religion, German, politics and sport as interdisciplinary subjects and technology, technical mathematics, technical drawing and economics as profession-related subjects.

In 1993 the school office and school committee decided to reorganize the vocational school system in Bochum. The Jacob-Mayer-Schule in Wattenscheid, which had existed for more than a hundred years (commercial, domestic, vocational, technical and technical school 4) was dissolved as a bundle school.

The housekeeping and socio-educational classes switched to GBS3 ( Alice Salomon Vocational College ). The technical school, the electrical and metal classes of the vocational school were integrated into GBS1, the school branch of the technical college, the two-year vocational school metal technology and tank attendant in GBS2 (Walter Gropius vocational college). The GBS1 changed its name to "Technical Vocational School 1 (TBS1)" after the new layout.

After the reorganization in 1993, according to the Statistical Yearbook of the City of Bochum, 85 vocational school classes in the fields of metal, electrical and chemical engineering, 7 classes of assistant professions, 52 classes of the technical school for mechanical, electrical and chemical engineering and 2 classes of the technical college were added to the TBS1 Taught with 3140 students and 262 schoolgirls.

1994 to today: Standardization of the Bochum vocational school system and the vocational college

The conversion of the workshop building, which used to have rooms for manual metalworking and drawing boards, into a technology center with CAD, CNC, IT rooms and a laboratory for building systems technology was completed in 1997. On the roof of the technology center, the TBS1 development association has set up the first Bochum school solar system. City, municipal utilities and the state of North Rhine-Westphalia helped finance the panels with a peak output of 10 kWh. Since then, this has been feeding the first free charging station for e-mobiles. Three years later, the development association expanded the facility by adding a second section of the same size. The system is also a training object for learning information technology assistants, electrical installers (since 2003 electronics technician FR energy and building technology) and students of the electrical engineering college. Of the four new apprenticeships in IT technology in 1997, IT system electronics technicians and IT specialists were trained at TBS1; in the field of metal technology, the apprenticeship as a metallurgical worker was further developed to become a process mechanic. The trainees in the new, interdisciplinary cross-sectional occupation of mechatronics technicians are accepted at TBS1 in 1998. For the first time, the curricula for these professions are arranged according to learning fields, which requires a new organization of lessons. For the first time, the foreign language English was included in the teaching canon of vocational subjects at vocational school, which otherwise consist of job-specific bundled subjects.

On August 1, 1998, vocational schools and colleges in North Rhine-Westphalia became vocational colleges. The TBS1 received the addition "vocational college of the city of Bochum". At the same time, the training course for information technology assistants (ITA) was set up, in which after three years the technical college entrance qualification was obtained at the same time as the professional qualification.

In 2000, according to the Statistical Yearbook of the City of Bochum, 64 vocational school classes in the fields of metal, electrical, information and chemical technology, 6 classes in the assistant professions CTA and ITA, 3 classes in the metal technology vocational school, 23 classes in the technical school for mechanical, Electrical and chemical engineering and 4 classes of the technical college with 2000 pupils and 191 pupils taught.

In 2002 a two-year vocational school with a focus on electrical engineering was set up for students with a technical college entrance qualification. Basic vocational training can be acquired there in one year and the academic part of the technical college entrance qualification in two years. The craft apprenticeship as a precision mechanic trained at TBS1 arises from the four professions of mechanical engineering mechanic, lathe operator, toolmaker and precision mechanic.

The industrial training occupations were reorganized again in 2003 and 2004. Business and work processes are given greater consideration alongside technical skills. All curricula are now organized by subject area. Siegfried Strauss retired, and his deputy Peter Hille became head of TBS1 in 2004. Deputy headmaster was Gerd Leifgen from 2005 to 2008, followed by Thomas Glaß in 2009.

The construction of new chemistry rooms was overdue, so in 2010 a class wing of the former “ Gymnasium am Ostring ” in Moritz-Fiege-Straße was rebuilt. The old chemistry and physics laboratories were then converted into computer science rooms and classrooms. An adaptation of the fire protection to current requirements became apparent, which is why a comprehensive fire protection renovation of the Ostring 25 building has been carried out since 2013. In this context, all specialist and classrooms were adapted to modern security and communication technologies.

Thomas Glaß has been head of TBS1 since 2015 and Ralf Adams is its deputy. As part of the further training to become a state-certified technician specializing in electrical engineering, students made the planning and construction of a charging station for pedelecs, which draws their energy from the photovoltaic system, their project task in 2015. The team also had to consider reliable security against theft.
