The Vincent-Lübeck-Gymnasium is a high school in the Hanseatic city of Stade .

history

The extension of the Vincent-Lübeck-Gymnasium, inaugurated in 2011

Today's Vincent-Lübeck-Gymnasium was founded in 1863 as the “Städtische Töchterschule” in the house “An der Cosmae-Kirche 26” in Stade. In 1904, the “Städtische Töchterschule” became the “ Höhere Mädchenschule Stade”, which in turn became a lyceum in 1912 .

Due to the lack of space, the Lyceum moved from Cosmae-Kirchhof to Bahnhofstrasse in 1929, the building is now called Carl-Diercke -Haus and houses several study and training seminars .

From 1930 the school was an upper lyceum, that is to say a "higher educational institution for female youth", only since this year has the school leaving certificate been the Abitur . In 1957 the school was renamed "Vincent Lübeck School" after the organist and composer Vincent Lübeck . Seventeen years later, in 1974, the school moved from Bahnhofstrasse to its current building at 4 Glückstädter Strasse. This was necessary because the reallocation from a girls' high school to a coeducational high school for boys and girls also increased the space requirements. The school was given its current name in 1994 and has been called "Vincent-Lübeck-Gymnasium" ever since.

After the school structure reform in Lower Saxony and the associated abolition of the orientation level , pupils in grades 5 to 13 were taught; the number of pupils rose to a maximum of around 1,500 in the 2010/11 school year. With the elimination of the 13th grade due to the upper school reform in summer 2011, the number of pupils decreased to around 1,330. Due to a lack of space, a branch had to be set up in the Hahle district of Stad from 2004 to 2011, which was closed after seven years when the extension was inaugurated in July 2011.

The Vincent-Lübeck-Gymnasium's youth research group was extremely successful for many years. In the converted mill at the Schiffertor, various three-dimensional screens that have attracted worldwide attention were developed and presented at numerous national and international trade fairs and exhibitions in Europe and Asia . Most recently, students developed a voice control for electrical devices, which was presented at CeBIT 2012 in Hanover at the booth of the Lower Saxony Ministry of Science .

Because of their professional interpretations of jazz , swing or soul , the school's big band is often in action outside of school. Regular concerts at the American partner school in Denver are just as much a part of it as the musical accompaniment of the summer festival of the Lower Saxony state representative in Berlin .

Promotion of the gifted

The Vincent-Lübeck-Gymnasium is part of the Stader Hochbegabten- Förderverbundes, an amalgamation of several schools in the region, which aims to better support particularly talented students. The cooperation association was set up by the Lower Saxony Ministry of Education in 2004 and supported, among other things, with additional lessons. Five other schools in the Stade district belong to the network: the primary schools Horneburg , Fredenbeck , Bockhorster Weg and Am Burggraben as well as the high school Athenaeum .

Ecological research garden

The pond of the ecological research garden

Diagonally across from the main building, the school has an approximately three hectare ecological research garden . At the center is the well-equipped station with a scientific laboratory . Right next to it is the pond , around it there is a meadow orchard with old fruit varieties, vegetable patches, a quarry forest , meadows with examination ditches , beehives and a greenhouse . All of this was created in 1987 for all schools in the region and operated by the district of Stade. In the summer of 2011, the ecological garden was transferred to the two neighboring schools, the Vincent-Lübeck-Gymnasium and the vocational schools III Stade, for shared use.

School focus

Schoolchildren who have a special talent in the foreign language field can receive history and geography lessons in English on request.

School without racism - school with courage

Since 2010 the Vincent-Lübeck-Gymnasium has been a school without racism - school with courage . In advance, the student council organized numerous events to address right-wing extremism, anti-Semitism and all forms of discrimination. The godfather is the journalist and author Hasnain Kazim .

Support association

The VLG enjoys regular support from the Friends of the Vincent-Lübeck-Gymnasium. Since the public funds are insufficient, he subsidizes sports equipment, musical instruments, technical equipment, the school library or the publication of the school yearbook. He also organizes the alumni reunion and the annual soccer tournament.
