Käthe-Kollwitz-Gymnasium

What Käthe-Kollwitz-Gymnasium does

Käthe-Kollwitz-Gymnasium (KKG) is a public Gymnasium (academic secondary school) located at Erzbergerstraße 1-3 in Dortmund, Germany, operated by the Stadt Dortmund (city municipal government) as a Schulträger. The school delivers the standard German three-stage Gymnasium curriculum across grades 5-13: Erprobungsstufe (grades 5-6), Mittelstufe (grades 7-10), and Oberstufe (grades 11-13), culminating in the Abitur university entrance qualification. Subject departments span Languages, Social Sciences, Art & Music, MINT (STEM), Sports, and Religion & Philosophy, supplemented by a broad Arbeitsgemeinschaften extracurricular catalog (theater, music, sports, languages, social engagement), counseling and coaching services (school social work, learning coaching, anti-bullying, peer mediation), and a student council (Schüler*innenvertretung) with formal governance participation.

The school's digital infrastructure is built on three third-party platforms: WebUntis for timetable, substitution management, and parent-side sick-leave reporting; Google Classroom as the primary distance learning and assignment distribution tool; and Geevoo for the digital student ID (digitaler Schülerausweis) launched in June 2026, requiring parental registration for minors under data protection rules. Integration with the city's städtische Musikschule (DORTMUND MUSIK) supports ensemble performances. The institution maintains a dense partnership ecosystem including Theater Dortmund under the GuT program (since 2017), a Bildungspartnerschaft with Green IT (signed November 2024) for sustainability and digital career pathways, GEEZ e.V. for civic education study trips, and participation in national programs (Schule ohne Rassismus - Schule mit Courage, Jugend debattiert, Jugend trainiert für Olympia, Medienscouts NRW). Competitive outputs include a Bundeswettbewerb Informatik finalist, regional reading competition state qualifier, city swimming championships, and 2nd place in the Georg Kraus Stiftung Schulpreis (2026).

The business model is entirely public: no tuition is charged to students; operations are funded through the Stadt Dortmund municipal budget with teaching staff costs flowing through Land NRW channels, and supplementary support provided by the Förderverein (a gemeinnützig registered parent/community support association capable of issuing Spendenquittungen). The go-to-market is direct-to-consumer: parents book personal Anmeldung appointments for Klasse 5 entry via a digital form. The customer base is a distributed regional student/parent population across the Dortmund metropolitan area, served under a public-education non-commercial pricing structure.
