history

On October 1, 1864, the Munich Realgymnasium started teaching as the first Bavarian school of this new type. After several expansions in 1905, due to lack of space, several classes were accommodated as a branch in the Luitpoldkreis Realschule on Alexandrastrasse. This branch of the school was relocated several times in the following years until it moved into new rooms in 1913 in the former "Krüppelheim" on Klenzestrasse. On September 1, 1918, this branch was separated from the mother school and merged with the Royal Luitpoldgymnasium under the name Neues Realgymnasium under one management.

The Luitpold-Gymnasium was opened in 1887 as the fourth humanistic high school in Munich in the building of the former military hospital on Müllerstrasse . Albert Einstein was a student here from October 1888 to December 1894.

Initially, the New Realgymnasium operated both locations in Klenzestrasse and Müllerstrasse. In 1921 the school moved entirely to Müllerstrasse. On January 11, 1938, the New Realgymnasium was renamed Oberschule for boys in Müllerstrasse . The school building was destroyed by two air raids in 1944. In 1952 the new secondary school moved to a school building on Eduard-Schmid-Straße. After changing occupancy, this was destroyed in 1943 and rebuilt in 1952. Construction began on a new building in Harlaching in July 1959. Two years later, the new school was officially opened, with six classrooms remaining on Eduard-Schmid-Strasse until 1965.

On November 26, 1965, the Ministry of Culture named the school Albert-Einstein-Gymnasium in honor of the Nobel laureate in physics and a former student of the school .

School projects

In April 2000, teachers, parents and students of the grammar school founded the SchuPa Kenia eV association. So far, a total of over 100,000 euros in school fees and equipment for schools in Kenya has been collected. The association has over 350 members (as of 2019).

In 2004 the school received the Munich Environment Prize for its environmental commitment .

In 2007 the grammar school was awarded the title of Environmental School in Europe .

The school operates school exchanges with schools in France , Spain , Great Britain , the United States of America and the People's Republic of China .

In 2015 the Albert-Einstein-Gymnasium was named a reference school for media education after several years of development.
