Karl-Liebknecht-Gymnasium

What Karl-Liebknecht-Gymnasium does

Karl-Liebknecht-Gymnasium is a public, municipally funded secondary school (Städtisches Gymnasium) located at Wieckestraße 1b, 15230 Frankfurt (Oder), Brandenburg, Germany. It is the only generally accessible Gymnasium in the city and operates under the Stadt Frankfurt (Oder) – Amt 40 (Sport- und Schulverwaltung), with state supervision by the Staatliches Schulamt Frankfurt (Oder). The institution serves grades 5–12 (Sekundarstufe I and II), preparing students for the Abitur, and draws its student body from Frankfurt (Oder) and the surrounding Landkreise Märkisch Oderland and Oder-Spree. Enrollment is administered through the standard Brandenburg Übergangsverfahren; the school has no capacity limit and forms six classes per Jahrgangsstufe 7.

The school's defining feature is its German-Polish cross-border educational program, which began in 1958 with Polish-language instruction, was formalized in 1992 with recognition as a Deutsch-Polnische-Projektschule, and was expanded in 2005/06 with the LATARNIA project for grades 7–8 (run jointly with Grundschule Nr. 2 in Słubice). The FF2 project integrates approximately 26 Polish students per year into grades 9–12 alongside German peers, culminating in a shared Abitur, with bilingual instruction in art and music. The school also holds UNESCO-Projektschule designation and offers Latin, French, and Spanish as additional foreign languages, alongside career-orientation programming in partnership with the Bundesagentur für Arbeit, Handwerkskammer Frankfurt (Oder), Universität Viadrina, and the Bundeswehr.

As a publicly funded institution, the school does not charge tuition and does not generate commercial revenue; ancillary services (catering via Einfach Fair Catering GmbH, locker rentals via schliessfachmieten.de, bicycle storage, and logo apparel through shirt-idee and diemojaenchen.de) are operated by third-party providers on the campus. The school's digital footprint is built on a TYPO3 CMS website (liebknecht-gymnasium.de), a Moodle LMS (g1.m24ffo.de), the heinekingmedia IHK SchulApp digital notice board, and an Instagram channel (@klg.enews). Governance is exercised through elected Mitwirkungsgremien, and a separately incorporated Förderverein (Verein der Freunde und Förderer des Städtischen Gymnasiums I zu Frankfurt (Oder) e.V.) supports extracurricular activities and awards the annual Liebknecht Prize (€250) to an outstanding Abitur graduate.

Direct peers

• 1. Liceum Poznań: Polish secondary school that hosts KLG students for a full academic year through the LATARNIA project, with Sanddorf-Stiftung scholarships. Direct exchange partner and curricular counterpart in the German-Polish education pipeline.
• Helmholtz-Gymnasium Heidelberg: Public German Gymnasium with a bilingual English track and an internationally oriented profile, including language specialization comparable to KLG's Polish-English-French-Latin-Spanish offering. Most directly comparable as a public Gymnasium with multiple foreign-language tracks and selective admissions criteria.
• Grundschule Nr. 2 Słubice: Direct bilateral partner in the LATARNIA cross-border project, accepting 24 Polish students per year into project classes in grades 7–8 alongside KLG. The schools alternate cross-border instruction days between Frankfurt (Oder) and Słubice, making this a tightly integrated operational peer despite being on the Polish side.

Broad incumbents

• Max-Planck-Gymnasium München: Large, prestigious German public Gymnasium with broad foreign-language offerings (English, French, Latin, Spanish) and strong STEM specialization. Comparable as a public secondary school with multiple language tracks, but at substantially larger scale and without a cross-border bilingual focus.
• Käthe-Kollwitz-Gymnasium Berlin: Long-established public Gymnasium in Berlin with strong humanities and language offerings. Comparable as a public Gymnasium with traditional academic emphasis including classical and modern languages.
• Heinrich-Heine-Gymnasium Berlin: Established public Gymnasium in Berlin with bilingual tracks and international orientation. Comparable as a public secondary school offering specialized language programs, though operating in a much larger urban market.

Regional players

• Carl-Friedrich-Gauß-Gymnasium Frankfurt (Oder): Other public Gymnasium in Frankfurt (Oder) sharing the same regional catchment. Comparable in funding model and geography, with different curricular emphasis, providing a regional reference point for the local Gymnasium market.
