It was founded on April 24, 1946 by the Ursulines of Danzig when it started teaching with 139 pupils and 8 sisters. It was originally a girls' high school, but in 1968/69 the first boys entered the upper school. From the 1974/75 school year, this also applied to secondary level I. Since 1992 , it has been sponsored by the Archdiocese of Cologne.

In 2005, construction began on a reading and information center (LIZ), an expanded children's library and a new cafeteria, which were inaugurated at the beginning of the 06/07 school year and are now available to students.

In January 2007 the former deputy headmaster Walter Krämer was appointed director after Werner Mainz, who had been headmaster since 1994, died on June 1st, 2006.

At the beginning of the 08/09 school year, the new school canteen was inaugurated, offering hot meals for lunch.

On March 11, 2019, the school officially received the certification School without Racism - School with Courage and thus undertakes to take active action against exclusion of any kind in the long term.
