The Werner-Heisenberg-Gymnasium in Neuwied is a high school that goes back to the Latin City and State School of the County of Wied , founded in 1707 . The school has been named after the physicist Werner Heisenberg since 1972 .

history

In 1707 the Latin city and state school of the County of Wied was established under Count Friedrich Wilhelm zu Wied . In the Latin school up to 25 students were taught reading, writing, evangelical teaching and Latin. The school building was in a residential building on Engerser Strasse.

In 1819 the school was converted into the Evangelisches Gymnasium , which was housed in the Roentgen house in Neuwieder Pfarrstrasse and was maintained by the city, the Prince and the State of Prussia . In 1825 a "higher citizens' school" was established for 60 students, now a municipal and princely institution under state approval. The school building was the building of the old Latin school on Engerser Strasse on the corner of Marktstrasse, which was completely rebuilt in 1863.

In 1877, under the rector Karl Bardt, it was converted into a “complete high school with real parallel classes Quarta, Tertia, and secondary ”. The main reason was that Neuwied was to become the seat of a regional court . At that time 293 students attended the school, 193 Protestant, 70 Catholic and 30 Jewish, of which 73 did not live in Neuwied. In 1882 the school was renamed "Gymnasium mit Realprogymnasium" and nationalized three years later.

In 1929 the school moved into the building of the teachers' college, which was closed in 1926, in Engerser Landstrasse, which was built in 1863 and where the school is still located today. In 1937 the grammar school was converted into a “high school for boys” and divided into a linguistic and a scientific branch. English became the first foreign language.

After the Second World War , the school reopened on October 1, 1945, albeit initially in a different building. From 1946 the school was converted into a single high school, as was common in the French zone of occupation . In 1947 the move to the old school building followed. Following a resolution by the teachers and parents, the grammar school will continue to be run as a modern language grammar school following a school reform. From 1954 on, there were student exchanges with French schools. The school had 543 students that year. Parents' consultations were held every year from 1954 onwards .

In 1963 another building with six additional classrooms was added to the school. From 1964 core compulsory subjects and elective subjects were introduced and girls also attended school. As early as 1965 it had to be expanded further by using the pavilion with two classrooms. The first considerations were about a new building. The school had 785 students in 1966. From 1966 to 1969 there was a branch called "Musisches Gymnasium", which provided a subject-specific higher education entrance qualification . In 1967 861 pupils attended the school, but due to a lack of teachers 24% of the school hours had to be canceled. From 1968 a mathematical-scientific branch was offered.

In 1971, 882 boys and 50 girls attended school. In 1972 the school was renamed "Staatliches Werner-Heisenberg-Gymnasium Neuwied"; At the time, 1,034 students in 30 classes attended the grammar school. They were taught by 39 full-time and 14 part-time or part-time teachers. In the same year the theater AG was founded. In 1973 the " Mainz study level " was introduced with a differentiated course system. The 1974 school year began with 1205 students, which is why two additional classrooms were set up in the basement despite the new building. The students attended 38 classes and courses. Because of the conversion into a full high school in 1877, a celebration of the centenary was celebrated in 1977. In the competition Jugend forscht , high school students achieved a national victory in the mathematics and biology categories in 1976 and 1978. In 1979 the upper school choir was founded.

1422 students attended the school in 1980, there were 30 classes and 18 MSS master courses. For the first time, French was offered again as the first foreign language, the school orchestra began its activity and the school subject of computer science was offered for the first time at the Werner-Heisenberg-Gymnasium. In 1981 the video library was opened. In 1982 the theater group appeared at the youth theater meeting in Berlin and represented Rhineland-Palatinate there. M. Gergeleit and H.-W. Horn won the German Software Prize in 1987 for a learning program for the subject of biology. In 1989 the school form “eight-year high school in all-day form” was started as a trial project with one class.

The theater AG represented the state of Rhineland-Palatinate in 1991 at the school theater meeting of the states with the production "Our Republic". In 1995 the group traveled with George Taboris “The Cannibals” to the school theater meeting in Hamburg and was awarded the Neuwied City Culture Prize by the city. 1997 began the student exchange with the Brisbane Grammar School in Australia ( Brisbane )

In 2007 the school celebrated its 300th anniversary. On June 20, 2009, the WHG was named the 6th "Partner School of Sports" in Rhineland-Palatinate as part of a sports festival.
