Wismar celebrates high school graduates: Best students are planning a career in AI!

Dahlmannstraße 40, 23966 Wismar, Deutschland - on July 14, 2025 the time had finally come: The Gerhart-Hauptmann-Gymnasium His graduates celebrated in Wismar, and the first high school in the city this year. The ceremonial handover of the high school diploma took place in the Heiligen-Geist-Kirche, where a total of 62 students from four classes received their reward for years of learning and commitment.

The headmistress, Ines Albrecht, was satisfied with the results of the final year 2025, which came out with a grade average of 2.3. It is particularly noteworthy that the girls cut better with an average of 2.1 than the boys who came to 2.4. In the previous year, however, the picture was the other way around when the boys were ahead. It is best to cut Konstantin Günther, who shone with a dream grade of 1.0. He has big plans: First of all, he would like to complete a voluntary social year at an Evangelical School before starting a dual computer science degree.

structure and tradition of the GHG

The gerhart-Hauptmann-Gymnasium has a long history that goes back to 1905 when it was founded as a boying school. Located in Dahlmannstraße 40, the school is a listed building in the neo -Gothic style and was originally built according to Johannes Busch's plans. After several renams and changes of concept, especially during the GDR period, it was newly established in 1992 as a modern high school. The outstanding events also include the award as a 100th Mint-EC school in 2008.

The graduates of the high school are part of around 400 students who take their high school diploma this year in the Northwest Mecklenburg district. 15 graduates from the Wismar University of Applied Sciences Business and 28 students from the school in Dorf Mecklenburg have received their certificates. And the celebrations continue: The Geschwister-Scholl-Gymnasium and the Goethe School celebrate on July 18 and Neukloster on July 19th.

The meaning of the Abitur

In Germany, the Abitur is the highest school leaving certificate and is a prerequisite for access to universities or equal universities. In 2022, around 259,300 high school graduates were recorded across Germany. Statista reports that there are differences in the diarrhea rates that were 4.6 % in 2023 - the highest value for over a decade. Education in Germany is a matter of the country, which makes it difficult to compare the Abitur grades between the federal states.

The Abitur is not just a piece of paper, but it opens doors for many young people. In the qualification phase, the students can deselect subjects and concentrate on what suits them. The way to these results can also be rocky, but the successes like that of Konstantin Günther show that the effort pays off.

The Gerhart Hauptmann Gymnasium not only played an important role in Wismar, but also in Germany's history of education. The students leave school not only with a degree, but with experiences and memories that they will accompany on their future life.
