The high school graduates of the Johann-Schöner-Gymnasium Selina Eirich, Joshua Klübenspies and Luisa Höfling from the P-seminar Social Studies, supervised by student Dominik Rüth, actually wanted to interview selected alumni in the auditorium with many guests from the school family on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the school? about her school days, her career choice, her career. That was the idea until Corona thwarted the bill. Therefore, the event took place online as a team meeting with three tenth grades from the grammar school as an audience.
The invited interviewees were a professional politician who, in his own words, was a “problem student, a dentist and implantology specialist who was already athletic in school, a musician who studied an unusual musical instrument called a” bonophon “made from boiled cattle bones and a doctor of physics who recommended “not to be so mean to the teachers.” Members of the Bundestag Alexander Hoffmann, Dr. Stefan Scherg, Maximilian Eder and Dr. Frederick Arand combine their school days at the Johann-Schöner-Gymnasium, albeit at different times. All four still have one today good memory of it.
Remembering impressive teachers
The three high school graduates formed the organizational team together with teachers Rüth and Sylvia Schubart-Arand. As chairman of the “Friends of the JSG” association, Schubart-Arand acted as a link to the alumni. The tension was great among the three tech-savvy high school graduates, because an online interview was new territory for them. But their interlocutors were relaxed and joined in from Karlstadt before work at the dentist’s chair or from Berlin before the political debate and found the right language for the young audience.
Stefan Scherg has been running a dental practice in his hometown for many years. The sport-loving former footballer has currently set himself the goal of participating in the Iron Man triathlon. He fondly remembers impressive teachers who have shaped him and emphasized that it pays to make an effort in life.

Alexander Hoffmann had already been involved in sports and in the carnival club during his school days, but at that time he certainly did not see a career in politics. “Albo”, his nickname, was a rather mediocre student with initial difficulties, poor Latin grades and the idea of perhaps becoming a carpenter or a pilot one day. When a teacher took him aside one day and asked how long he wanted to keep writing such bad grades, “it reached me personally and gave me the impetus to do something in physics and mathematics”.
Lots of freedom outside of class
After finishing school and a year of military service, Hoffmann studied law in Würzburg, went to the Free State with a good examination as an administrative lawyer and worked, among other things, for the government of Lower Franconia, the Miltenberg district office and the city of Würzburg. The Retzbacher CSU has been a member of the Bundestag since 2013.
Maximilian Eder from Karlstadt, plays in the Franconian folk band “Gankino Circus” with performances in Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan and has been awarded a European folk music prize. Eder did not do his Abitur at the JSG because at that time he could not choose his desired combination of subjects in the upper school. But he would still recommend the JSG because “there he had a lot of freedom outside of the classic framework of the school. As an example, he cited a committed teacher who helped set up stage elements into the night.
He actually wanted to “do something medical ??, but” when I had to cut open a pig’s heart in class, I felt sick “. On the recommendation of a music teacher, he was allowed to learn drums and had double bass lessons at school. Eder’s advice to the students:” Actually you can do anything ?? but one should think carefully about what one would like to do “.
Theater course was a positive school experience
Frederick Arand explained why he took up the physics degree with reference to mathematics and physics, which he found relatively easy. He described his studies in Heidelberg, including a stay abroad in the USA, with the message: “Do not put your clothes on until you have matured personally?” For him, the theater course was a particularly positive school experience because it was a lot of fun alongside the compulsory program.
Arand, who now works as a software developer, advised the youngsters to think about themselves, to be both strict and kind to themselves. Arand said goodbye with reference to the “80-20 rule”. This states that you can often achieve 80 percent of the targeted result with just 20 percent use.
