| | Clarification request(s) and responseKim Metzger: 3:31pm Sep 17, 2006: I'm glad you're happy with this, Ilaria, but if you'd left the question open a bit longer (24 hours?) you might have got something even better for your context. Members may have asked you if you needed British or American English, for example.
MMUlr: 3:38pm Sep 17, 2006: Correction of the German sentence: auf dem Neusprachliche*n* Gymnasium ... Gynasium YY, ((Komma vor und zwar)) und zwar 2 Jahre *in der* Prima. :-)

Oberstufe (grades 11-13)

In a letter dated 17.03.1932 the Senator responsible for the Secondary School Education Authority informed the Reichsminister des Innern (Home Secretary), in Berlin, that the Talmud Tora Realschule had become a secondary school with sixth form, through the extension of the school with Obersekunda, Unterprima (lower sixth) and Oberprima (upper sixth), and following the sitting of the first Reifeprufung (university entrance examination = A Levels) at Easter 1932 would be acknowledged as an Oberrealschule. Following this the school officially used the title: Tamud Tora Schule (Volks- und Oberrealschule) in its correspondence and documents. It retained this name until April 1937.

This Gymnasium too, like the one in Constance, was a state
school. Here Heidegger would complete the Obersekunda, the Unterprima, and the Oberprima, corresponding to the upper fifth form and the lower and upper sixth forms of the British system. Photographs of Heidegger during each of these three school years have been published in Walter Biemel’s Martin Heidegger.35
