The Zentralgewerbeschule Buchen (ZGB) is a public vocational school of the commercial type in the city of Buchen , with a wide range of educational opportunities. With 70 teachers (as of 2018) and around 1050 students, it is one of the largest schools in the Neckar-Odenwald district .

Educational offer

In addition to the vocational school with apprenticeships in six professional fields (metal, wood, electrical and vehicle technology as well as personal care and nutrition), the ZGB also has full-time schools that provide a secondary school leaving certificate in the pre-qualification year work / occupation (VAB) and a secondary education qualification in the Two-year vocational college in metal and electrical engineering, which can offer the technical college entrance qualification at both vocational colleges or the general higher education entrance qualification in the technical high school.

The full-time school types offered at the ZGB include:

Technical College

With its profile subjects “Information Technology” (TGI), “Mechatronics” (TGM), and “Technology and Management” (TGTM), the technical high school primarily addresses students interested in science and technology. In addition to the profile subjects, linguistic (including Spanish as a second foreign language), social and mathematical and scientific subjects are also taught. After three years, the Technische Gymnasium finishes with the general higher education entrance qualification (Abitur), which entitles you to study all subjects at all universities (any special admission requirements, e.g. at art academies, sports universities, etc. not included).

One-year technical college

The one-year vocational college enables a quick path to the technical college entrance qualification ("Fachabitur") after a completed vocational training and intermediate educational qualification, the dual study of all disciplines (including "public administration") as well as to study at all universities of applied sciences in Germany in any subject entitled.

Technical vocational college with dual integration

After completing secondary school, you will be able to qualify for a technical college in two years if you opt for the technical vocational college with dual integration (1BKMFE). During the school visit, contact is made with companies in the region in internship phases. Admission requirement is the secondary school leaving certificate.

Technical school - full and part time

The technical college for technology, machine technology with the specialization quality technology leads to the qualification of the "state-certified technician". The full-time variant lasts two years, while part-time training takes a total of three and a half years. Technical main subjects are, for example, construction, production technology and automation technology (learning factory 4.0), software use of ERP in partnership with SAP4School IUS.

The same admission requirements apply in both variants: secondary school leaving certificate, completion of vocational school, skilled worker or journeyman's certificate in a profession in the metalworking field, and - depending on previous education - relevant professional experience. After successfully passing the final examination, the qualification for a university of applied sciences is acquired in addition to the professional title “state-certified technician”.

Two-year vocational school in metal and electrical engineering

The two-year vocational college for metal and electrical engineering is aimed primarily at interested secondary school graduates who want to acquire the technical college entrance qualification (Mittlere Reife). In addition to the theoretical lessons in general and natural science subjects, theoretical and practical basic training in the respective subject area is completed. After completing the two-year vocational school, the graduates are trainees in commercial professions, but can also switch to a vocational high school or a vocational college.

History of the Civil Code

Upper school yard

From the historical sources of the city of Buchen it emerges that on August 3, 1846, the municipal council of the city of Buchen submitted an application to the Grand Ducal Badisch Fürstlich Leiningen district office of Buchen , "The higher citizen school and the establishment of a trade school concern." In the application, the local council wishes "that another teacher should be employed there, but not only to teach lessons at the higher citizens' school established in 1845, but to teach all day at a new one to be established The latter institution is completely lacking for the local area and is felt as an urgent need in general, since the commercial capacity is very far behind compared to other areas. "

The competent Oberamtmann Felleisen forwarded the application to the Ministry of the Interior in Karlsruhe on August 9, 1846 with a detailed report that was benevolent for the city of Buchen. In its reply of October 21, 1846, the ministry demands "The establishment of a trade school for Buchen re." the clarification of further points and the city's obligation to participate in the maintenance of the school. On November 21, 1846, the local council decided unanimously with the large and small citizens' committee to meet the conditions stipulated by the Ministry of the Interior and to build a new schoolhouse for the commercial and secondary school. The Ministry of the Interior approved the establishment of a trade school in Buchen on April 19, 1847.

The newly built trade school was opened on December 6, 1847. In the first year of its existence, the trade school was attended by 70 apprentices.

On December 19, 1872, the trade school became independent due to the new trade regulations for the entire German Empire.

In March 1947, the President of the Baden district decreed that the Buchen trade school, with the temporary abolition of the Adelsheim trade school association, became the central trade school of the Buchen district. The surrounding trade schools are subject to the Civil Code. In 1949 the provisional validity of the 1947 decree is changed to a final one, i.e. H. the trade schools of the (then) rural district of Buchen are subordinated to the director of the central trade school Buchen as immediate service superiors in terms of work and administration.

From 1950 the civil code was rebuilt. Since there was a great shortage of training places at that time, the need for basic vocational training in full-time instruction at the ZGB was to be met, in particular with the establishment of workshops. The workshop lessons will then be gradually expanded to all common commercial occupational fields.

From the 1973/74 school year, another theory and workshop building was available for the growing need for vocational school lessons. In spring 2003, another new building increased the school's capacity.
