The Ernestinum in Coburg , Bavaria, is a mathematical , scientific , economic and European high school type EGyII.

The Ernestinum building is located on Glockenberg in the immediate vicinity of the Alexandrinum grammar school , which used to be an all- girls school . There are two other high schools in Coburg, the Casimirianum and the Albertinum .

history

The Ernestinum was founded in 1848 as a high school for citizens by the city of Coburg.

The name Ernestinum was given to the school on the occasion of the inauguration of the new school building on Glockenberg on June 19, 1875 by the then reigning Duke Ernst II of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha .

Although girls were briefly taught in the Ernestinum in 1935, the Ernestinum was a boys' school until 1983 . Only then were girls accepted as pupils with the introduction of co-education .

Since the 1960s, the school buildings have been expanded again and again, for example from 1999 to 2001 by a new science wing and from 2007 to 2008 by a new break hall and a new library and cafeteria building. In this move, the school yard was connected to that of the neighboring Alexandrinum grammar school . A shared cafeteria was built. From 2009 the renovation of the second oldest part of the building took place. The historic and striking old building was renewed in previous years.

About ten years ago, the training of so-called Ernes rangers for the purpose of school mediation began.

Entrance portal

The ducal domain administration had a new school building built on Glockenberg for the secondary school in 1875 according to plans by the Coburg court architect Carl Friedrich Wilhelm Streib , which replaced the house at Steinweg 18. The expansion to the nine-class secondary school required an initial expansion by 1901, which was followed by further modifications and extensions.

The listed old school building is a three-storey three-wing complex, with the side wings differing in depth. The seven-axis main building is a neo-Gothic square building with a gable roof, which is bordered on both sides by three-axis stepped gable risalites . On the ground floor, in the center of the facade, there is the ogival entrance portal, bordered at the top by a battlements that are arranged in a two-axis central projection. This has pilaster strips running through on both sides and is closed at the top by a clock gable.
