history

On the orders of the Great Elector , the grammar school was founded in 1681 as part of the expansion of the city of Berlin under city patronage and was open to the French and German Protestant denominations. Joachim Lange became rector in 1698 , later a theologian at the University of Halle . Classes were held until the fire in 1794 in the town hall of Friedrichswerder instead. In 1742 the grammar school merged with the Friedrichstadt grammar school. Friedrich Gedike established Berlin's first grammar school teachers' seminar here in 1787 , the seminar for learned schools , with six to eight seminarians - including Friedrich Schleiermacher  - and made the school known, especially through the public exams. Around 1800 only 50 boys attended the school on Oberwasserstraße at Werderschen Markt . From 1825 on, classes took place in the “Fürstenhaus” on Kurstraße, at times together with the trade school .

In the 19th century, the Friedrichswerder Gymnasium with the Gray Monastery , the Köllnisches Gymnasium , the Friedrich-Wilhelms-Gymnasium , the Joachimsthaler Gymnasium and the French Gymnasium , which was separated from it in 1824 as the first Realgymnasium , belonged to the renowned higher schools in Berlin and Prussia, which opened around 1840 together had about 1960 students, 350 of them at Friedrichswerderschen.
