history

The Christian von Mannlich-Gymnasium was founded on October 1st, 1875 as the Stolz'sche Girls' Institute by the teacher Pauline Stolz. At the beginning, almost 20 students attended the institute, who were taught by two teachers. In 1903 the school was taken over by the Homburg municipal council. The first Abitur examination was taken in 1941, so the school was recognized as a full establishment. On March 14, 1945, during the Second World War , the school building in St. Michaelstrasse was destroyed.

The resumption of classes after the war in October 1945 was started under the name of the Girls Gymnasium and the classes moved to the Knabenrealgymnasium in the Oberen Allee. In 1948 the school was finally nationalized and construction of a new building began. On February 4, 1955, the then 347 schoolgirls moved into the new building on Hiltebrandtstrasse. In 1967, together with the first boys, English was introduced as the first foreign language. 1970 saw a major expansion. After the 1000 student mark was exceeded, the school received a second building and a pavilion. In 1972 parents and staff applied for a new name for the grammar school now attended by both sexes; so on November 21, 1974 the school was renamed Staatliches Mannlich-Gymnasium .

In 1992 the Saarpfalz district took over the sponsorship. From 2016 the school's dilapidated pavilion was torn down and replaced by a new building. The new building was carried out in low-energy construction and was inaugurated in 2018. Then work began on the main building.

The branches available for selection are the linguistic branch and the scientific-mathematical branch, with an emphasis on the natural science subjects such as mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology. The subject Latin, if chosen, is continued by the students up to class 10, at the end of which there is the Latinum examination , or up to class 12 as an advanced course.
