The school started operations in 1858 as a royal Bavarian trade school, along with a preliminary course and a commercial advanced training school in the building of the former University of Ingolstadt with 34 students, after the magistrate had applied to King Maximilian II to establish a three-year trade school on May 18, 1857 . As early as 1877, the now six-year-old royal Bavarian secondary school, along with the preliminary course and commercial advanced training school, had 152 students. When the number of pupils had grown to 234 in the school year 1906/07, the city council planned a new building, which began in 1910.

Hartmannplatz

For the first year in the new building, the school had 326 students. In 1913 she was after a visit by Prince Regent Ludwig III. renamed the royal Bavarian Ludwig Realschule (with commercial department) . The first ten girls were accepted in the school year 1920/21 and in 1923 the school was given the Abitur qualification under the name Oberrealschule Ingolstadt with a commercial department .

In the last year of the war, 1944/45, the upper secondary school was relocated to the Antonschule at the main train station, as the actual school building was needed for a hospital; classes were often interrupted due to the air raids. A total of over 200 teachers and students were killed in World War II . The reopening ceremony after the war took place on December 3, 1945 in the old gym. The number of schoolchildren rose until an extension had to be started in 1956, which was inaugurated on December 11, 1957.

In 1960 the name was changed by the State Ministry to Christoph-Scheiner-Oberrealschule , and at the same time the astronomy department was equipped with a new reflector telescope. In 1965 the school was finally given its current name: Christoph-Scheiner-Gymnasium Ingolstadt .

In the 1970/71 school year a working group was founded for the new field of computer science, and a Diehl -Combitron S was purchased , the first computer used in teaching in Bavaria. The number of students had meanwhile risen to 1285, which is why the Apian High School was founded, to which 400 students were outsourced. However, in 1975 there were again problems with space, which is why an extension was started again and a double gymnasium was built, which was inaugurated in 1977.

On February 12, 1988 - through the Soviet President Mikhail Sergejewitsch Gorbachev - contact was made with school No. 1234 in Moscow , which marked the beginning of the first Bavarian-Soviet school partnership. In 1989/90 the first visit of a Russian school group took place, in 1990/91 the school partnership was extended to another Moscow high school, the Kapzow School No. 1520; In addition, a friendship treaty was concluded between the city of Ingolstadt and the Moscow Central District. In the summer of 2003 an extension was started again, and the training courses were renamed from mathematical-scientific and modern-language to scientific-technological and linguistic .

The 150th anniversary was celebrated in 2008. In addition to a ceremony, an international week, a thanksgiving service and a festival ball, there was also an XXL high school graduate meeting, to which over 1000 alumni attended, including those from the 1936 high school graduation class. At the beginning of the 2008/2009 school year, the CSG had the largest number of 1371 students in his story.
