The foreign language offer of the ZGB includes English from the 5th grade, French or Latin from the 6th grade and in the language profile Spanish from the 8th grade. In the natural sciences profile, the focus is on natural sciences and technology (NwT).

history

The first mention of a city clerk's school in Brackenheim dates back to 1460. In 1503 the city clerk's office was separated from the Latin school and a Wendel Bender was named as the first schoolmaster in Brackenheim. In addition to Latin classes with special church obligations, there were also German classes in which only German was taught. Since the church ordinance by Duke Christoph von Württemberg in 1559, the sovereign had the overall supervision of the school, the city retained the right to nominate the schoolmaster, who had to be confirmed by the sovereign. After 1560 an assistant teacher was mentioned for the first time in addition to the schoolmaster. A new school was built around 1600, which was completed after a construction delay due to the plague years of 1609 and which still exists today as the old school in Brackenheim.

Under Magister Johann Jakob Rappolt, who held this office from 1747 to 1791, by separation of the Latin school of the future as a primary school designated German classes , based the later own rooms. The great school reform of 1793 changed the orientation of the Latin school from text interpretation to realities (arithmetic, geography, patriotic studies). In 1834 a separate secondary school was set up , which was closed again in 1851 due to a lack of pupils, but was nevertheless so popular in the first few years of its short existence that the number of Latin pupils temporarily fell to below ten (1842: only three pupils).

In the second half of the 19th century, the Latin school was transformed into a secondary school ( Realgymnasium based on the Stuttgart model) with Latin as the first, French as the second and Greek as the optional third foreign language as well as with the subjects German, history, algebra, geography, arithmetic and grammar , Drawing and singing. In 1863 physical education was introduced at the school in the summer months. In 1871 there were also six students at the school, although girls were not formally admitted to secondary schools until 1900. A gymnasium was built in 1877 so that physical education could be held all year round in future.

In the years after 1900 the Brackenheim Latin School was questioned several times. Before the First World War, the conversion of the Latin school into a secondary school was discussed, in the 1920s the technical qualifications of the teachers were criticized by a control commission, in 1930 the closure of the Latin school was suggested again, which the local council emphatically rejected in 1936.

The uniform curricula of the National Socialists from 1937 changed the linguistic orientation of the school; in future, English was the first foreign language and Latin the second. From then on, the name of the school was “Oberschule for boys”, which was a so-called non - comprehensive institution that could also be attended by girls. In the last years of the war, 1944/1945, the number of students rose sharply due to the large number of refugee families from the surrounding cities.

After the end of the war, the high school building immediately became the catering office for the French occupation forces, which secured the institution's library (in contrast to that of the elementary school) from looting. On October 15, 1945, school operations were resumed with five grade levels (5th to 9th school year). Around 1950 the school was threatened to be closed again, as it was not developed into six classes like other high schools.

In 1953/1954 a common building for elementary and high school was built. Between 1955 and 1958, the secondary school was provisionally expanded and finally in 1963 a sixth grade (10th grade) was added to the Progymnasium. From 1964 to 1966 a new building was built for the Progymnasium on Hirnerweg. In 1968, 168 students attended the institution.

On March 19, 1971, the Baden-Wuerttemberg Ministry of Education granted permission to expand a full grammar school. In 1974/1975 an 11th school year was introduced and in the following years the 12th and 13th, so that in 1977 the first pupils were able to complete their Abitur at the school now called Zabergäu-Gymnasium . In 1978 and 1983 extensions were made.

In 2006, the school was attended by around 950 students from the Zabergäu. At the start of the 2006/2007 school year, an additional extension to the ZGB was inaugurated. It contains new PC rooms, new classrooms and an all-day area. This all-day area is supplemented by a cafeteria in the neighboring building.

Long-term headmaster from 1939 to 1968 was Gerhard Aßfahl (1904-2007), a well-known local history researcher and also head of the Brackenheim city archive, who, on the occasion of the award of honorary citizenship in all five Zabergäu communities in 1989, gave Dr.-Gerhard-Aßfahl-, who was awarded by the school. Prize for extracurricular involvement in school.
