Today's high school Christian-Ernestinum was founded in 1664 under the name Gymnasium illustrious Collegium Christian-Ernestinum by Margrave Christian Ernst from Bayreuth . When developing the curriculum, particular attention was paid to ancient languages ​​- especially Latin - and philosophy.

The grammar school was originally located next to the town church , which is now the town's historical museum. The building, which was erected between 1615 and 1618, housed the Latin school, which was elevated to a high school on July 27, 1664. In 1804 the educational establishment moved into the former orphanage at Friedrichstrasse  14 , which was built in 1732/33 under Margrave Georg Friedrich Karl . After the city was sold to the Kingdom of Bavaria in 1810, the school was called the Royal Bavarian Study Institute until 1899 . The Humanist Gymnasium did not get the name of its founder back until 1952.

Since the school building no longer offered enough space for all students in the 1960s, it was decided to build a new school building, which is closer to the main train station . After two years of construction, it was completed in 1966 and handed over in October.

Student connections

At the Christian Ernestinum grammar school there were some student associations, especially in the 19th century. One of them currently still exists, the "Abitur from 1851 zu Bayreuth" founded in 1851. One of the goals of the connection is to continue friendships from school days.
