The Penzberger Gymnasium passed a record high school graduate class on Friday. The grade average was 1.99. The vintage even topped last year's result, which was 2.09. All 101 young people passed the Abitur exams. 53 of them even with a one before the decimal point.


The Penzberger Gymnasium passed a record high school graduate class on Friday.

The grade average was 1.99.

The vintage even topped last year's result, which was 2.09.

All 101 young people passed the Abitur exams.

53 of them even with a one before the decimal point.

Penzberg - A few weeks ago, headmaster Matthias Langensteiner himself did not believe that the ceremony could take place on Friday.

But it worked: “It's nice that you are here,” he introduced the celebration.

In the large gym next to the family pool construction site, the high school graduates, teachers and parents came together - almost like before, only with a mask and a lot of space between the chairs.

The efforts of the past year, a high school diploma under Corona conditions, dragged on through almost all the speeches.

Responsible: escape route at the Abischerz

It was "not a high school graduate class like any other," said Langensteiner.

The class had to do without unforgettable highlights such as study trips and college level parties and had to struggle with distance and alternating lessons.

He has mastered challenges that other vintages were spared from.

At the same time, according to the headmaster, it was a top year.

He was also enthusiastic that the young people were responsible and constructive, and that they also took responsibility for their own mistakes.

And, according to Langensteiner, he has never seen a year at Abischerz worry about keeping escape routes open.

Ex-headmaster: Be sand, not oil in the gears of this world

A gag was that the headmaster suddenly brought his predecessor Bernhard Kerscher onto the stage during his speech.

Kerscher ("I was on withdrawal for a year. That is not a threat: I will not be back") said he was proud of his school that it was successful despite Corona and despite politics.

And he gave the high school graduates "homework" with them on their way: "Be sand, not oil in the gears of this world." Because the pandemic, environmental policy and social development have shown that one should not sit and nod, but get involved .

The SMV representatives paid their outgoing classmates respect: “Nobody would have wanted to swap places with you.

Hats off for having mastered the time so. "

Math knowledge: Two weeks of lockdown are six months

The high school representatives Valentin Einberger, Felix Heumann and Sarah Wink described the senior school years with dry humor.

With a wink, they talked about the stable Mebis learning platform, error messages and teacher emails in the spam folder, the smell of bare fear under the mask and math knowledge: "Two weeks of lockdown are six months".

However, the trio also reported that they still managed to "grow together into a unique upper-level community".

A treasure chest for the festive moment

The guests of honor paid great praise: District Administrator Andrea Jochner-Weiß spoke of a “sensational achievement” in view of the high school graduation marks. With this generation that has stuck through, there is no need to worry about the future. Mayor Stefan Korpan said that the speakers once spoke of a turning point, a new beginning and lifelong learning at his own certificate award ceremony. "Today I confess: you were all right." The Abitur, Korpan says, is the compass, the navigation system for life, "that you program yourself".

Parent representative Mark Hartmann advised the high school graduates to memorize the festive moment, to put it in a treasure chest, to keep it safe and to open it when new challenges arise. "It will strengthen you to master this challenge as well." And: "I am sure you can change the world in this way."
