The Werner-Heisenberg-Gymnasium (short: WHG ) is a scientific , technological and linguistic high school in the Bavarian city of Garching near Munich that has existed since 1971 and was named after the Nobel laureate in physics, Werner Heisenberg .
history
Due to the poor structure of the old school building and the lack of fire protection, the school was demolished at the beginning of 2012 and replaced by a new building in the same place. In the meantime the school had moved to a container building.
The grammar school is attended by around 1,100 students, including around 450 from Garching, 350 from Ismaning , 100 from Unterföhring and around 200 from the north of Munich . There are around 100 teachers (as of 2018).
The school is run by the " Zweckverband für das Staatliche Gymnasium in Garching near Munich ", in which the city of Garching and the communities of Ismaning, Unterföhring and the district of Munich are united.

School radio
An internal school radio program has been produced at the Werner-Heisenberg-Gymnasium since the 2011/2012 school year. Before the school holidays, an approximately twelve-minute program is produced and broadcast over the home radio. Each program begins and ends with a jingle produced by the school's own choir together with the WHG Big Band. The program is presented by two moderators - a boy and a girl. The contributions on various topics are recorded by the students themselves and cut ready for broadcast. Contests and music complement the content of the contributions. The program is based on journalistic standards and is operated as an elective. A teacher oversees the project and leads the editorial meetings. The school radio is supported by a cooperation with Bayerischer Rundfunk.
