The Dresden Annenschule , later known as the Annen Realschule , Annen Realgymnasium , or Annen Gymnasium Dresden in the 19th and 20th centuries, was founded in 1563 by the Dresden Council. First established as a school in the Bartholomäus Hospital , it became a choir school from 1600 and a Latin school from 1619 . The school experienced its first heyday under its principal Christian August Freyberg , who took over the office in December 1719. Already in 1724 the school became the Lyceum collected and was the third high school in Dresden. A third teaching position was approved three years later after the number of students had risen continuously.

At first the school was near the Church of St. Anne . In 1870 she moved to the newly built schoolhouse southeast of the church, which had been built in the Renaissance style according to the plan of the city building officer Theodor Friedrich . The interior of the school was decorated with frescoes by Alfred Diethe . The Bendemann pupil Diethe received the contract after winning a competition from the Saxon Art Association . The subjects as a civic educational program were: 1. Luther's posting of the theses , 2. Artists and scholars at the Medici court , 3. The discovery of America , 4. The cultivation and trade by father August and mother Anna . The themes are reminiscent of the early bourgeois boom, humanism and the Reformation in Saxony.

In 1936 the school was integrated into the upper secondary school in Seevorstadt .

Ruins of the Annenschule in Dresden, taken in early 1948, destroyed in the bombing raid on February 13, 1945

The school building was badly damaged during the air raids on Dresden in February 1945; the ruins were still standing in the 1950s.

After the facility closed in 2002, the Annen Campus site was taken over by the new Dresden International School .

In front of the school there is a life-size bronze sculpture group "Drawing Children" by Hans Klakow from 1961. Two boys are shown, originally a girl belonged to the group, the group of children was cast several times.
