The state-run Dom-Gymnasium Freising is a humanistic grammar school in the Bavarian city ​​of Freising . With just under 600 students, it is the smallest of the three Freising high schools . The school has been housed in the former Philipps Castle and an adjacent extension on the Freising Cathedral Hill since 1981 .

history

The Dom-Gymnasium Freising was founded in 1828 as a royal university. A boys' seminar was affiliated with it until the 1970s . It originated from a monastery and cathedral school, which, along with the Willibald Gymnasium Eichstätt and the Catholic Cantonal Secondary School St. Gallen, is one of the oldest schools in the entire German-speaking area . The school was built around 740.

Until 1960 the Dom-Gymnasium Freising also comprised an Oberrealschule , which was then spun off and named after Josef Hofmiller , a former teacher and student of the Dom-Gymnasium, Josef-Hofmiller-Oberrealschule (today: Josef-Hofmiller-Gymnasium ).

After it was founded, the grammar school was housed for a few years in the former provost's courtyard of the closed St. Andrä collegiate monastery. In 1835 they moved into rooms in the former royal stables , where the lyceum was also located. From 1975 to 1980, the Philippsschloss was largely demolished and the new cathedral high school was built while preserving a few parts. Another part of the building was built on the site of two neighboring canons, which were demolished for this purpose.

Dom-Gymnasium today

Today the Dom-Gymnasium Freising comprises a humanistic branch with the language sequence Latin (from the 5th grade), then English (from the 6th grade) and then Ancient Greek (from the 8th grade). The modern language branch, on the other hand, also begins with Latin and English, but then the third foreign language is French . In addition, students can opt for a so-called bilingual branch from the seventh grade onwards. In the 7th grade, the students then have one more hour per week to prepare for the English-language geography lessons in the eighth and tenth grades as well as in the upper grades. This then takes place with an additional hour per week more than usual. There is also the option of deselecting Latin or English from the tenth grade in order to take Spanish as a fourth foreign language.
