The Erasmus-Gymnasium is a humanistic and modern-language high school in Amberg . With its almost 400-year school tradition, it is one of the oldest schools in Germany and is even the oldest in the "Upper Palatinate", as the Upper Palatinate was once called.
history
The roots go back to a Latin school near Sankt Martin in 1385. The grammar school was explicitly founded in 1626 by the Jesuits . The Jesuit college , built in 1665, was also a clerical seminary . From 1722 to 1865 a lyceum with a philosophical and a theological section was attached. After the abolition of the Jesuit order in 1773, the school became an electoral, in 1806 a royal and in 1918 a state humanistic grammar school .
In 1921 the school moved to a new building on Kugelbühl on the southwestern edge of Amberg's old town. In 1965 a new language branch was added to the existing old language branch, and the school, which had previously been known as the Humanistic Gymnasium, was renamed the Erasmus Gymnasium on March 14, 1966. This is to remind of Erasmus of Rotterdam . In 1969 an extension followed, in 1986 a double sports hall. The grammar school looks back on 393 years of school tradition.
The high school today
The school has been under the direction of Karl Bösl since 2017. With 440 students, the grammar school is one of the smaller schools of this type of school.
Language sequence
- From the 2016/2017 school year, students could choose whether they would study Latin or English in the 5th grade . The other subject then becomes the second foreign language in the 6th grade
- In the 8th grade, students choose a third foreign language. You can choose between ancient Greek ( humanistic course ) and French ( modern language course ).
- At the end of the 9th grade, Latin can be deselected and instead Italian can be taken for three years from the beginning of the 10th grade . Those pupils who decide to do so can take an exam at the end of the 9th school year and thus receive the Latinum. If you fail to start or fail, only “secure knowledge of Latin” will be certified.

- with Périgueux , France (14-day exchange in the 9th grade)

School newspaper
The school newspaper "EGoist" of the grammar school has already won several awards in regional school newspaper competitions. In 2016 she won a prize at the federal level for the first time in the school newspaper competition of the German federal states with the sponsorship award in the grammar school category.
logo
Since the end of December 2013 the school has a new logo. This represents an owl, which on the one hand stands for humanistic education through the ancient languages Latin and Greek, but on the other hand is also supposed to symbolize the "inventions of natural science and technology". The school's logo was slightly changed in color in 2018.
