The BG and BRG Baden Frauengasse (advertised Bundesgymnasium and Bundesrealgymnasium Baden Frauengasse ) is a grammar school and a Realgymnasium in Frauengasse 3–5 in the city center of the Lower Austrian city of Baden . The building is a listed building .
Location description
The school is located in downtown Badner. The two buildings that house the grammar school are located between Josefplatz, Breyerstraße and Frauengasse. The former monastery church, now the Frauenkirche , is directly connected to the school.
history
The building that now houses the grammar school used to be a monastery of the Augustinian hermits , which was first mentioned in writing in 1285. After the town fire in 1812, the monastery was no longer operated, but was bought by Baron Haan von Haanendal. He had the monastery renewed by Joseph Kornhäusel . In 1826 Emperor Franz I acquired the property. In 1866 the school was founded as a secondary school. After the RG moved to the newly built building in Biondekgasse, a secondary school was set up in Frauengasse and a lyceum shortly afterwards . From 1938 the school was called Realgymnasium für Mädchen , after 1945 Bundesrealgymnasium für Mädchen . From 1980 the school was run co-educational , today boys and girls are mixed.
The school today
The director is Sonja Happenhofer. Currently, 894 students attend the Bundesgymnasium and Bundesrealgymnasium Baden Frauengasse, 335 of them are male and 539 are female. In the 2015/16 school year there were 23 lower grades and 15 upper grades. Due to a lack of space, the 2nd grade is a hiking class, which means that the 2nd grade students do not have a regular classroom and are therefore in a different classroom every lesson.
architecture
The school building is one of the oldest buildings in the city of Baden. Initially, the building was an Augustinian monastery, whose monastery church, today's Frauenkirche, still exists. In today's music archive there is a Gothic stone portal that belongs to the one-pillar room from the late 13th century. During the school renovation between 1955 and 1964, large parts of the medieval building stock were uncovered and restored. These include the one-pillar room and the east wing of the former cloister. The pointed arch windows of the northern cloister wing and the southern cloister wing with its wide, flat arched window openings belong to the fading Gothic. The so-called “two-pillar room” is designed in early baroque style.
