The Friedrich-Eugen-Gymnasium Stuttgart (in short: "FEG" ) is a 1796 as junior high school founded school in Stuttgart District Stuttgart-West .

history

The Württemberg Duke Friedrich Eugen von Württemberg (1795 - 97) founded today's “FEG” in 1796 as a realistic department of the Stuttgart high school illustrious (now: Eberhard-Ludwigs-Gymnasium ). In two steps, 1818 and 1832, the school became independent. The "Realanstalt" was named after its founder in 1896 to distinguish it when another school of the same type emerged from it, today's Wilhelms-Gymnasium .

The "FEG" is at the beginning of realistic school education not only in Württemberg. This was in the interests of the urban bourgeoisie, but also of state commercial and economic policy. Since 1876, the "Realanstalt" issued a school-leaving certificate that entitles students to study natural sciences and technical universities, and from 1900 onwards, like all schools of this type in the German Empire, the general university entrance qualification.

Until long after 1945, the typical educational path of many “FEG” students after high school went to the Technical University of Stuttgart . Some of them became professors there, some became rectors, and many became architects and engineers. Not only in this way made a recognizable contribution to the development and consolidation of a technical, scientific and economic functional elite in Württemberg. During the Kaiserreich, her students came not only from the greater Stuttgart area, but also from other parts of Württemberg.

After the First World War, the “FEG” in Stuttgart, which had become a major city, became a district-specific secondary school. In 1938, like almost all secondary schools in the Reich, it was given the standard designation “Oberschule”, which was replaced in 1953 in Baden-Württemberg by the again uniform title “Gymnasium”. To this day, she also maintains her scientific and technical tradition in her courses.

school-building

Facade of the school building of the Friedrich-Eugens-Gymnasium

The Realschule received its first own house in 1835 in Kanzleistraße. As there was soon no longer enough space, parts of the school were moved to different buildings.

The new four-story high school at the corner of Lange and Hohestr was built in 1874/75 under the direction of Alexander von Tritschler . was a striking inner-city building. Above the main corner was a tower-like structure, inside an observatory with a rotating iron dome. The abbreviation SPQS for Senatus Populusque Stutgardienis (= City of Stuttgart) was clearly visible at all four corners . In September 1944 the building was destroyed in a bomb attack.

The current school building, which we moved into in 1954, is the first new high school building in Stuttgart since 1945. It is an example of innovative inner-city school buildings from the 1950s and is therefore a listed building. The architect was Hans Brüllmann, himself an FEG student, professor and rector at the TH and University of Stuttgart.

In 2007, a single, cube-shaped “student house” was opened on the school premises, in which students can stay and eat. It was designed by the architects Haag, Haffner and Stroheker.
