The Ickinger Gymnasium is celebrating its 100th birthday this year.
Our newspaper is taking this anniversary as an opportunity to take a look at the eventful history of the educational institution, which was founded as a middle school in 1921, at random.
Today: the first years.
Icking - The school that Alfred Vogel, the tutor of the children's sanatorium in Ebenhausen, founded in Icking in 1921 was originally intended as a kind of middle school.
It was supposed to enable the boys and girls, who were taught together from the beginning, to transfer to the grammar school.
The first classroom was a room in a farm.
Every now and then a chicken would stop by, cats did that anyway.
Parents found a sponsoring association
Soon the school got bigger.
The fact that it was finally allowed to call itself a “higher private educational institution” is due, among other things, to the parents, who made themselves available as school administrators through a parents' association that was quickly founded.
School child with prominent parents
Meanwhile, a child of prominent parents attended classes in the late 1920s.
The way the boy was brought to school every morning was quite a spectacle.
His father was Hans Stuck, later one of the most famous racing drivers in Germany, whose father owned an agricultural estate near Wolfratshausen.

One of the classmates from back then, Hanns Reich - he attended grammar school in Icking from 1927 to 1930 - later recalled in the “Ickinger Nachrichten”: “From the first-order country road towards Wolfratshausen there is a rapidly swelling roar and whine.
Shortly thereafter, a huge cloud of dust shoots up the Wenzberg. "Braking wheels on the sand road", Reich continued, "caused the car to turn 180 degrees quickly and the cloud of dust expanded enormously".
Then: “The engine howls again.
After the cloud has cleared, there is ... a little boy in front of the school property. ”Stuck's son - and a half-brother of the later Formula 1 driver Hans-Joachim Stuck, who was born in 1951.
