The Ellenrieder-Gymnasium is a high school in Constance . The school grew out of the 1869 existing girls' high school, which is for independent until 1877 Higher Töchterschule developed. The founding date was retrospectively set to May 4, 1877 in 1927. Initially located as a girls' school in the city center of Konstanz, in 1911 they moved into the Art Nouveau building planned and built as a school building in Paradise .
School building in paradise
The building in paradise was planned by the Constance city architect Paul Jordan (1876–1966) and completed in 1911 in the Heimat- and Art Nouveau style. It is a three-storey building with a curved gable and access via a two-flight flight of stairs in an oriel porch.
Name of the school
At the suggestion of Hermann Venedey, the grammar school owes its current name, which the school has been renaming in 1961, to the Constance painter Marie Ellenrieder . The Konstanz deaconess Margarete Blarer was also up for discussion as the namesake. Before that, the school was named Friedrich - Luise -Schule.
student
From the beginning of the 1980s to the mid-1990s, the number of pupils decreased continuously from originally around 700 to 361 pupils. This development has been reversed since the mid-1990s, also due to the changed profile. There are currently more than 900 students at the grammar school. Against this background, two extensions were built in 2008 and 2012 and a further sports hall in 2011. The school shares a sports hall opened in 2011 with the neighboring elementary school in Wallgut .

profile
In 1961 the school received a new language train. This was u. a. Reason is that the school - long after the abolition of pure girls' school - an above-average high proportion of students inside had. In addition, after the expansion of suitable rooms, a scientific branch was added towards the end of the 1990s. There has been an English-bilingual branch since the mid-2000s .
