The Kaiser-Heinrich-Gymnasium Bamberg (short: KHG ) is a linguistic / humanistic high school in Bamberg , Upper Franconia . It is named after Emperor Heinrich II , the son of the Bavarian Duke Heinrich der Zänker .

history

The Kaiser-Heinrich-Gymnasium was founded on June 23, 1586 by Prince-Bishop Ernst von Mengersdorf as the Collegium Ernestinum . It was a seminary with a grammar school, which was accessible to all "youths" striving for education.

At the beginning of the 17th century, the college was taken over by the Jesuits and moved into the classroom building, which today houses a storage room for the linguistic and literary sciences branch of the Otto Friedrich University in Bamberg and a lecture hall. A sharp increase in the number of pupils led to the establishment of the New Gymnasium in 1890 , which was also open to girls as well as Protestant and Jewish students, while the Old Gymnasium could still only be attended by Catholic boys.

At the instigation of the ministry, the old grammar school was renamed Kaiser-Heinrich-Gymnasium in 1965, which now also accepted Protestant pupils.

Location in Bamberg

In 1973 the school moved into a new building. The old buildings were taken over by the Otto Friedrich University .

At the beginning of 2009, a new cafeteria was built as a separate building on the school premises. The Kaiser-Heinrich-Gymnasium has had a new children's and youth library since December 2009, which was made possible by a donation from the Rotary Club of 5,000 euros.

The Kaiser-Heinrich-Gymnasium has been offering an all-day class in every new year since the 2004/2005 school year as part of the “eight-year high school in all-day form” .

In May 2020, strangers stole the tasks for the German Abitur in Bavaria from a vault in the school, which meant that they had to be replaced across the country.
