history
The school was founded in 1690 by a Fräulein (demoiselle) de la Branche. At that time it was the first girls' school in town. Although the first girls' school in Westphalia was founded in Paderborn in 1658 by the French choir women of St. Michael, this was a school run by the Catholic Church. In contrast, the Demoisellen-Schule, as the grammar school was called at the time it was founded, was the first secular, privately financed girls' school in Westphalia.
In 1921 the school became municipal sponsorship and has been named after the poet Annette von Droste-Hülshoff ever since . The school has been co-educational since 1975 .
