The Trifels-Gymnasium is a Protestant high school with boarding school in the small town of Annweiler am Trifels in southern Palatinate .

history

The "Heimschule am Trifels" was established in 1958 as a late state church school founded in the post-war period with initially 250 boarding students , initially as an advanced high school from grade 8. The founding director was Martin Bümlein. Under the aegis of Günther Gerth, headmaster from 1973 to 1990, the school opened to pupils from the region from 1975 and became a grammar school from grade 7, from 1987 a full grammar school from grade 5. The total number of students rose in the 1980s around 450 students, while boarding school occupancy declined and the original unit of school and boarding school loosened. By the mid-1990s, the number of boarding school students had fallen below 100, while the total number of more than 700 students required a school extension.

From 1991, Anke Bering-Müller exercised great educational and innovative influence in her 13 years as headmistress. In a pilot project in collaboration with Heinz Klippert, she developed new teaching and learning methods and promoted educational teamwork. She was succeeded by Philipp Gerlach in 2004, followed by Steffen Jung in 2011.

The regional synod decided in 2013, despite the austerity of the church, to continue the Trifels-Gymnasium, but the boarding school should be closed in 2016. The grammar school is to be developed towards an all-day school and the boarding school buildings are to be used as school buildings.

profile

The Trifels-Gymnasium with around 750 students, mainly from the districts of Südliche Weinstrasse and Südwestpfalz, is the only school sponsored by the Evangelical Church of the Palatinate . Protestant ideas of education and upbringing are realized through interdisciplinary teaching, the implementation of diaconal internships and the increased promotion of musical education. The school is open to students of all denominations, but participation in Protestant or Catholic religious instruction is mandatory.

The language sequence is English in grade 5, French or Latin in grade 6, Spanish as an optional subject in grade 9, and Latin or French in grade 11. With three music lessons in grades 5 and 6, lower school choir, school choir, school orchestra and big band as well as with Art working groups and performance courses and theater, the grammar school has a strong artistic and musical orientation. An in-house kitchen supplies the students with products from their own region.

In 2009 the school was awarded the title School Without Racism - School With Courage .

The Trifels-Gymnasium is committed to media education . In 2012, it came third in the competition “Young people read - media use in the digital age”. Since 2015 it has been one of the project schools as part of the state program “Media Competence Makes School”.

The high school holds an "ethics day" every year; In 2014 he dealt with the topic of arms exports with the participation of the Bundestag member Tobias Lindner .
