history

The second oldest secondary school in Vienna was founded by a decree of Emperor Leopold I in 1697 and opened on November 16, 1701. The school's motto is still today “Pietati et litteris”, in today's German: “For piety and science (founded)” and can be read above the baroque entrance portal of the school, framed by two angels. The Piarist Order ran the school, which at that time was only open to boys, until 1870. Then it was handed over to the state because the costs of maintaining it could no longer be raised. The number of religious as teachers in the school has been decreasing and meanwhile no clergy are employed as teachers at the grammar school.

The 200th anniversary of the traditional school was recognized in the Neue Freie Presse on November 17, 1901.

By decree of the Reich Ministry for Internal and Cultural Affairs after the annexation of Austria to the German Reich in 1938, the school was no longer run as a grammar school, but as a "high school for boys". As in other schools, a National Socialist became the new director and on April 28, 1938, all Jewish students had to leave the school. In 1944 the school was closed and the remaining students were distributed to other locations in Vienna.

1945 reopened in autumn under the old director Werner Tschulik with five classes as the Bundesgymnasium Wien VIII, the Piaristengymnasium was made accessible to female students in 1948.
