history

From 1531

Founded in 1531, it is one of the oldest schools in Bavarian Swabia . From 1537 the institution was financed from the 1464 endowed study foundation of clergyman Ulrich Langenmantel vom Sparren . Originally the school was housed in the former Carmelite monastery in Augsburg (St. Anna). Sankt Annakollegium opened as a boarding school in 1582.

From 1613 to 1616 Elias Holl built his own building for the high school in the Renaissance style on the property next to the former monastery . In 1616 the school moved to this building and stayed there in the "Hollbau" on the Annahof for the next 351 years. In the 18th century the linguistic and humanistic grammar school acquired the reputation of an elite school.

After 1800

The extension on Fuggerstrasse

After secularization in 1807, the Protestant school near St. Anna in the parity imperial city was merged with the dissolved Jesuit college St. Salvator in the rooms of St. Anna. At the request of the citizens and supported by a donation to buy a building, the renewed separation of the schools was suggested in 1827 and carried out in 1835. The Catholic students moved to the high school near Sankt Stephan in the newly founded Benedictine Abbey of St. Stephan .

Around 1900 an extension was completed on Fuggerstrasse.

Since 1967

In 1967 the school left the building near St. Anna and moved to a new building on Schertlinstrasse in the Antonsviertel district . The former high school buildings in the city center, which are under monument protection , have found new uses. The "Hollbau" is used today by the Evangelical Forum Annahof for seminars and events. The extension at Fuggerstrasse 10 now serves as a courthouse.

In 1973 the new building of the grammar school on Schertlinstrasse was extended by a wing, the extension building, or E-building for short. Since May 2006, renovation work has been taking place in the former "Central Office for Computer Use in Classes", which was completed in April 2007. A cafeteria - the Annaretto -, a room for homework and afternoon care (HAnnA) and two seminar rooms were built there.

The school celebrated its 475th anniversary in the 2006/2007 school year. This was celebrated, among other things, with a ceremony in the Golden Hall of Augsburg City Hall , a festive service in the St. Anna Church and several musicals in the school gymnasium.

The high school at St. Anna has been a reference school for media education since 2011 . It has very good media equipment and a media charter.
