The Evangelical Gymnasium Siegen-Weidenau ( evau for short ) is a private gymnasium in the Siegen district of Weidenau that has existed since 1964 and is sponsored by the Evangelical Church District of Siegen.

history

The school was founded in 1964. In that year, the school opened on April 11th. The sponsors were the church district of Siegen and the former district of Siegen (today district of Siegen-Wittgenstein ). It was designed for around 600 students and has 40 classrooms, subject rooms for biology, physics, chemistry, computer science, music, art and geography. There are also two large rooms that can be combined as a meeting room, a learner driver's room, a meeting room, a room for the student council and the student library. The former home of the school principal, a bungalow jokingly referred to as a “villa” on the school grounds, now houses a school café, a prayer room and the room for the school newspaper. There is also a sports hall with a gym, an outdoor sports facility and two schoolyards. The school was expanded in 2011 to include a self-study center and another library.

In 2010 the school had around 900 students and 60 teachers.
