history
On August 12, 1909, Emperor Franz Joseph I signed the permit for the construction of a new state high school in Vienna-Landstrasse. On August 18 of the same year, the Austro-Hungarian Ministry of Culture and Education granted permission to build the school. The City of Vienna provided 50,000 crowns for this. The rapid increase in population made it necessary to build this fourth grammar school. The foundation was already being excavated in the year it was signed. At the beginning, the school with one class, 50 students and six teachers was temporarily housed in school premises on Wittelsbachstrasse in Vienna-Leopoldstadt . The number of pupils increased continuously until the school year 1913/14 and reached 197 pupils in five classes. They were taught by 15 teachers. The new school building in Hagenmüllergasse was completed in 1914, but had to be converted into a reserve hospital immediately due to the outbreak of the First World War . For this reason, the school remained in the replacement quarters and planned to organize the first school leaving examination there for the summer of 1917. A regular process was not possible in the chaos of war - 15 out of 17 eighth graders had to enlist. Their Matura was recognized without taking the exam. Many students and teachers did not return or returned from the war wounded.
In August 1919 the school was able to move into the house after structural adaptations. The school had 282 students that year, who were taught by 23 teachers. Thanks to the cooperation of the parents, a communal kitchen with food and a heating campaign in winter could be organized in the same year. From 1920 on, girls were also allowed to attend school. Despite the success of the project, the admission of girls was banned from 1931.
In the 1920s and 1930s the school was equipped with better and better equipment, for example a workshop, a chemistry room and a second drawing room were set up. The school offer was also expanded. In 1934 the number of students reached a record 751. Of these, 41 were girls. They were taught by 43 teachers. Since the school was bursting at the seams, numerous cloakrooms, practice rooms and corridor compartments were adapted to classrooms and the schoolyard was newly renovated.
After the “Anschluss” of Austria in 1938, teachers were removed from service and students who did not conform to the racial ideology or political attitudes of the Third Reich were expelled from the school. The other students had to join the Hitler Youth . The RG III was renamed "State High School for Boys". School operations were stopped in 1944 after numerous pupils and teachers had to go to war in the school years 1942/43 and 1943/44. The sixth and seventh grades were closed and the remaining students were distributed to other schools. At the beginning of the school year 1944/45 there were still five classes with 106 students. Of 53 teachers, 38 were indented, and another seven were needed elsewhere. When the air raids on Vienna started, many students were taken to a children's country deportation camp in Slovakia . The camp was later moved to Mariazell in Styria . The school building's roof and chimney were damaged by the air raids. On January 15, 1945, the building was badly damaged by a bomb. The clean-up began in June. Lessons were temporarily resumed in five classrooms, a physics room and a drawing room with eight classes and 329 students. However, many teachers had died in the war or were prisoners of war . In the spring of 1948 the building was modernized. In addition, the facade was completed in the summer and the third floor was added. The school equipment was significantly improved with fluorescent tubes and school radio systems. Between 1951 and 1955 a new gymnasium, a ballroom above it and a natural history room on the second floor were added.
On the 50th anniversary of the school in 1959, 35 teachers taught 500 students in 18 classes. In 1962 the RG III was converted to the GRG III. From now on there was a secondary and a linguistic high school branch. From January 1977 the gymnasium was renovated. From the school year 1979/80 onwards, girls were again admitted to GRG III. In the beginning there were 31 students in the first grades. The coeducation was again taken up, and proven rapidly. Since the school year 1983/84 there have been computer science classes at the Hagenmüllergasse high school. Six devices were initially available for this new subject. Today there are two IT rooms with 31 workstations, which have become an important part of the lesson not only for IT lessons, but also in many other subjects. At first, IT was run as an optional subject, then as mandatory exercises, and finally it became a compulsory subject (from the ninth grade) and a compulsory elective (from the tenth to the twelfth grade) and thus also a Matura subject.
From 1987 onwards further structural adaptations took place. By 1989, a new gymnasium and new premises for the management were built. A terrace was set up above the gymnasium and the school yard was planted with greenery. From 1997 the school in Hagenmüllergasse was a pilot school for the new lower school curriculum, which came into force in 1999. In October 1997 a new school library was opened.
