Hölty-Gymnasium is a public high school established in 1922 in Wunstorf, Germany.
The school was established in 1922 as an Aufbauschule in the buildings which had been used by the Königlich-Preußischen Evangelischen Schullehrer-seminar, which had been built from 1872 to 1876. Both institutions existed between 1922 and 1925, when the school was given its current name after Ludwig Christoph Heinrich Hölty.[1]
Today (2022), the school is a general education Gymnasium, a coeducational open all-day school with about 1300 students. The school offers a bilingual program in which the subject of history is taught in English in the 9th and 10th grades. The high school is also committed to sustainability and social issues; for example, the school has provided financial support to a school in Madagascar for many years. The school offers the Abitur after nine years of schooling (G9). Classes begin at 8:20 a.m. and end no later than 5:30 p.m. with a lunch break between 1:45 p.m. and 2:25 p.m.[2] [3]
