history

School until moving in 1859

On January 22nd, 1680 Wilhelm III opened. from Orange a trivial school (the building is now home to the art school) in Lingen. 17 years later, this Latin school was expanded to become a Gymnasium academicum , a university that was reformed according to the foundation. It initially had four Protestant professors. There was a joint board of trustees for the university and the Latin school. The county and city of Lingen were part of the Netherlands at that time, which is why the students mainly came from the Netherlands. The rector's academic scepter is still owned by the Georgianum today, as is the historical library.

In 1814/1815 Lingen came to the Kingdom of Hanover. In 1819 the government in Hanover decided that the university in Göttingen would be sufficient. In fact, the high school had lost its importance at this time: As a result, the Gymnasium Academicum was dissolved. At Easter 1820 the royal Hanoverian government founded a "parity", i. H. Mixed Protestant-Catholic grammar school, which was initially the smallest of its kind in the Kingdom of Hanover for a long time. On October 12, 1859, in the presence of King George V, who named it Georgianum, the school moved to a new school building on Gymnasialstrasse.

Almost a hundred years later, on September 26, 1958, the school moved again, namely to the school building on Heidekampstrasse.

School until moving in 1998

On August 12, 1968, the authorities decided to divide the school into two grammar schools in order to be able to emphasize on the one hand the old language and on the other hand the modern language branch. This created the new Johanneum grammar school, which from now on was dedicated to the modern language branch. The Georgianum accordingly retained its title as "Old Language High School".

The Johanneum grammar school moved into new premises on Kardinal-von-Galen Strasse and, together with the Kreisrealschule, which is also located there, formed a school center. The Integrated Comprehensive School Lingen (IGS), which was also located there in 1993, exchanged premises with the Georgianum in 1998. Since then, the grammar schools have worked closely together and since August 1, 2009 they have again formed a grammar school under the name Georgianum .
