The Vincent van Gogh School is a public integrated secondary school in Berlin-Neu-Hohenschönhausen , northwest of the Hohenschönhausen S-Bahn station .
history
The school at Wustrower Straße 26 was built in 1985 together with its neighboring school (house number 28) as part of the development of the new development area Hohenschönhausen III ( Hohenschönhausen-Nord ). The newly founded 31st POS Berlin-Hohenschönhausen, the forerunner of today's Vincent van Gogh School , moved into the school building at Wustrower Strasse 26 . The neighboring school building at Wustrower Straße 28 moved into the 32nd POS, which was named after Rudolf Iwanowitsch Abel in 1988 . The neighboring school is now a primary school called "Schule am Wäldchen".
After the peaceful revolution in 1989 and German unification in 1990, the school system in the state of Berlin was standardized. At the beginning of the 1991/92 school year, the 31st POS Berlin-Hohenschönhausen at Wustrower Strasse 26 was converted into the 18th primary school. At the beginning of the following school year 1992/93, the second secondary school in Hohenschönhausen was built at this location , while the school building was used by primary schools for a few years. With the 1995/96 school year, the construction of the 2nd Hohenschönhausen Realschule with grades 7 to 10 was completed; in 1995 the school was named after Vincent van Gogh .
In 2003, the Langhans High School moved from Rüdickenstraße to the location at Wustrower Straße 26, where it merged with the Vincent van Gogh High School. As a result of the merger, the school was now called the Langhans Oberschule, but was renamed back in 2007.
At the beginning of the 2010/11 school year, the secondary schools in Berlin were abolished or merged with secondary schools as part of the school reform . The resulting school form was the integrated secondary school . Accordingly, the Vincent van Gogh Realschule took up the Keith Haring Secondary School, which was merged with it, and became an Integrated Secondary School. Since the Vincent van Gogh School had already taught pupils who had recommended secondary schools, the school management did not expect any significant changes at the time of the merger.
Location and architecture
The school grounds are located between Wustrower Strasse and the Berlin Outer Ring railway line , north of Falkenberger Chaussee , not far from Hohenschönhausen train station and the Linden-Center shopping center .
The main building of the school (house A) is a four-storey block of the type POS 81 GT . In 2018/2019 a three-storey building (House G) was built in a modular design in view of the increasing number of students. The series construction of the “Modular Supplementary Building” (MEB) type was financed with 5.25 million euros from the “Special Fund Infrastructure of the Growing City” (SIWA-II). The type construction MEB was built 50 times in Berlin between 2013 and 2019.
In addition, the school uses the ground floor of a three-story house (House B), which is used by the Shostakovich Music School on the remaining area .
The three sports halls of the type SK / KT Berlin were built in 1985 like the main building and will be renovated from 2018.
School program
In 2017, the Vincent van Gogh School, with an LMB quota of between 50 and 70%, was one of the so-called “hot spot schools” in Berlin, which received additional funds as part of the bonus program to compensate for structural disadvantages among the students. The LMB quota is the proportion of children whose parents are exempt from paying additional learning materials because they receive Hartz IV , unemployment benefits, housing benefits and similar social transfer benefits. Across all Berlin schools, the 2013 LMB quota was one third.
The Vincent van Gogh School takes part in the Berlin program for in-depth professional orientation . The following qualifications are offered at the school :
- After the 9th grade: Vocational qualification (BBR).
- After 10th grade: Vocational qualification (BBR), extended vocational qualification (EBBR), intermediate school leaving certificate (MSA), and the intermediate school leaving certificate with entitlement to transition to upper secondary school.
The school's school newspaper ( Das Vincent ) was awarded 1st prize at the 16th Berlin school newspaper competition in 2019.
