The Carl-Spitzweg-Gymnasium (CSG) said goodbye to its high school graduates in parallel in two halls and several shifts.
This always ensured that students and parents were not sitting too close together.
Mouth and nose protection was just as compulsory as a negative corona test, which you had to show at the entrance.
Germering - Eleventh grader Anita Becker opened the celebrations in the school auditorium with a rhapsody by Johannes Brahms.
Here director Rita Bovenz welcomed students and guests.
As at the Max-Born-Gymnasium, a greeting from Mayor Andreas Haas was recorded via video.
Headmistress Bovenz compared the school career of the CSG high school graduates with a mountain tour.
This started eight or more years ago in the lower school with hiking in the lowlands and in easy hill country.
In the middle and upper grades, it has become much more demanding mountain hikes.
And in the end the ascent to the summit of Mount Abitur was the goal in 2021.
On the way there, the helpful mountain friends were particularly popular.
These were often apparently inconspicuous but efficient mountain partners who acted as organizers, comforters or silent motivators.
It was important to take on social functions that would benefit the group.
These would have contributed significantly to the growing together of the community up to the Abitur and hopefully beyond.

133 students passed the Abitur itself at the CSG.
According to Rita Bovenz, the average was 2.13, slightly better than that of the country.
49 high school graduates had a one before the decimal point, four times the dream grade 1.0 was the result of the efforts.
In their Abitur speech, students raised the question of whether they had really learned something essential or just “theoretical stuff” at the grammar school.
In the end, they agreed that they had worked out a basis at the grammar school on which a lot of things could be built up quickly.
This was only possible because they had a great time at the CSG thanks to the school management and the teachers.
They had extra praise especially for senior level supervisor Otto Niedermeyer.
They said goodbye to him with a school bag.
Reason: Niedermeyer once told them that he did not receive a school cone when he started school.
They wanted to end this trauma.
