history
In the mid-1950s there was a competition between Dingolfing and Landau on the question of where to find a higher school. Dingolfing finally got the contract. The facility, founded on August 22, 1957 as the "Staatliche Oberrealschule Dingolfing", started operations in September 1957 in the rooms of the middle school. The first head of the school was Dr. Dietrich Lucas. Finally, in 1966, the first students fully trained in Dingolfing received their Abitur. The city of Dingolfing built a new school building on Pestalozzistraße, which is now used by the Old Town primary school. In 1972 the district took over responsibility for material expenses; As a result, a new, larger school building in the style of the 70s was built in 1974/75 under District Administrator Fritz Ettengruber on the edge of the then not yet fortified Dingolfing "Kirtawiese", which should be architecturally attached to the Isar slope with its terrace-like structure. In terms of architectural history, the original building could be viewed as a large, landscaped structure, as was typical of that time. In the meantime, this concept is no longer recognizable due to numerous modifications and additions to the building itself and its surroundings. Features of the interior design were that the sliding walls and few load-bearing elements guaranteed great flexibility in the design of the room sizes. In addition, there was a sophisticated system of pictograms that was typical of the 1970s, which referred to the individual departments and were very similar to Otl Aicher's pictograms. Hydroponic beds to improve the indoor climate were, for example, available in the entrance area. After various expansions and modifications over the years (including renovation of the scientific wing, addition of a wing for the lower level, construction of a canteen building), a general renovation was carried out by 2017. In the course of this, the district library, which had been housed in the building until then, moved to Marienplatz, which has made a larger area available to the school since then. Since then, the flexible character of the school building and the original concept are only rudimentary. In the same year the school celebrated its 60th anniversary.
