The Tellkampfschule is a high school in Hanover in the Südstadt district . It was founded in 1835 by Adolf Tellkampf as a higher middle school and named after him in 1936.

description

The school, which was established in 1835, is the second oldest grammar school in Hanover after the Ratsgymnasium . Today it is an all-day school with working groups. There is an exchange with European schools and schools in the USA. In 2003 the Tellkampf School was the first European school in Hanover, in 2005 it was awarded the title School without Racism - School with Courage . There is a rowing club and a school camp . In 2016 there were about 1000 students and 45 teachers. The class size in the 5th year was 30 students. The Tellkampfschule has also been an inclusion school since 2019. The Tellkampf School currently houses 5 inclusion students. A differentiation room was set up in the school accordingly.

founding

At the beginning of the 19th century, citizens' schools were to emerge in Hanover as a type of school that ordinary citizens could afford to attend. It was clear to the educator Adolf Tellkampf that two new types of school had to be created: one that was state-of-the-art: the science- oriented secondary school and another that was economically oriented: the commercial school . He was able to realize both in the 1st Realgymnasium in Hanover. This school was named in 1936 after Adolf Tellkampf as its first headmaster, after the attempt to rename it " Hermann Göring School" was rejected.

school-building

The Tellkampfschule has been housed in several buildings since it was founded. In the early days, in 1835, it was assigned a community center on Aegidientorplatz as a “higher civil school” . Due to a lack of space, in 1854 she was able to move together with the Ratsgymnasium to a newly built house, again on the Aegi. The school building was destroyed in one of the air raids on Hanover in 1943. Classes began again on October 1, 1945 in the heavily damaged rooms of the Wilhelm Raabe School . From 1946 to 1950 the Tellkampfschule was housed together with other schools in the Pfalzstrasse elementary school.

Accommodation at the Bismarck School

From 1950 to 1955 the Bismarck School took on the Tellkampf School. The pupils of both institutions had lessons organized in shifts that filled the building from morning until late at night, the last adjoining rooms were already used as classrooms. Makeshift rooms had been set up under the roof in order to have space for all classes in one shift. In the course of the 1953/54 school year it turned out that the Bismarck School was no longer receptive due to the rapid expansion of Südstadt including Döhren and Wülfel as well as the residential areas in Kleefeld and Kirchrode .

The Schillerschule is split off

With the large number of school beginners in autumn 1953, the school space shortage in the city of Hanover reached a new high point and raised the question of establishing another grammar school, from which the Schillerschule emerged in 1954 . In the 1953/54 school year, the Bismarck School had to accommodate two classes in the building of the Altenbekener Damm elementary school, and the Tellkampf School moved one class there.

In February 1954, preliminary discussions between the heads of the two schools and the head of the city education office led to the Panke school board asking Mr. Böttcher from the Bismarck school to take over the management of a new school. Rooms were soon found in the building of the Bonner Strasse elementary school. Since the Bismarck School had given up most of the classes, the new school was initially called the “Branch of the Bismarck School” against the protests of the Tellkampf students and their parents. The parents who had either had their children taught at the two grammar schools for a few years or had just successfully brought them through the trial lessons were also against this designation. On April 21, 1954, classes at the Schiller School began.

today

The designed by Werner Dierschke and Rudolf Christian friend built 1,956 school buildings of Tellkampfschule is "an outstanding example of the building of the 50s in Hannover" under monument protection . The complex is located near the Maschsee .

The Tellkampf bust

The Tellkampf bust was created by the former pupil of the Tellkampf School Friedrich Adolf Sötebier in 1950 for the Tellkampf School in Hanover . It is in the school foyer.

The following inscription is attached to the base side:

This bust was created in 1950 by old school students and sculptor Friedrich Adolf Sötebier and placed here for the 175th anniversary of the Tellkampf School. Both were made possible by financial means from the Association of Alumni of the Tellkampfschule e. V.
