The Archbishop's St. Ursula-Gymnasium Schloss Hohenburg Lenggries is a state-recognized private high school for girls. The archdiocese of Munich and Freising is the sponsor .

Location

The school building, Hohenburg Castle , is located on the edge of the village of Lenggries on a slight hill above the Isar valley. The main building was erected in 1718. Since 1870 the castle was owned by the Luxembourgers , who used it as a summer residence, hunting lodge and widow's residence. In 1953 the Ursuline Sisters from Landshut took over the facility to build a girls' school here.

history

The school was founded in 1951 by the Ursuline Sisters in Landshut as a girls' secondary school and only moved to Hohenburg in 1958 . Here, in the Isarwinkel, the Ursulines established a branch in 1953 and started running a home economics school. The number of students at the newly established grammar school rose steadily: classes began in 1958 with 31 students. In 1967 there were 166 students, in 1977 already 224. Most of the girls lived in boarding school during this time. They came from all over Bavaria, some even from Frankfurt, the Rhineland and Saarland.

Although the number of pupils continued to rise, the monastery community increasingly failed to find any offspring. In 1990 the Ursulines therefore handed over the Hohenburger Gymnasium to the archdiocese of Munich and Freising. With Sr. Andrea Wohlfarter (headmistress from 1982 to 2002), however, a religious woman was still at the head of the high school. In July 2001 the boarding school was finally closed, and in 2003 the sisters withdrew completely from Hohenburg. Today only secular teachers teach at St. Ursula Gymnasium. The number of female students was almost 400 in 2015.

profile

The grammar school is a two-class, fully developed girls grammar school that is run by the church. There are two branches of study: a linguistic branch and a social science branch. An attached day care center offers open all-day care if required.

The school has been a partner center for winter sports since 2005. In 2010, the grammar school was the founding school of the Benediktbeuern school cluster, the aim of which is closer networking with university operations. The music classes established in 2013 are intended to sharpen the school's musical profile.
