The high school near St. Stephan in the Augsburg district of Bleich und Pfärrle was founded in 1828 and has a humanistic and an artistic branch.

history

Commemorative coin ( history thaler ) on the occasion of the handover of the university to the newly built Abbey of Sankt Stephan in 1835: Bavaria brings two boys to a Benedictine.

The former Roman Catholic grammar school was founded in 1828 by King Ludwig I and was the direct successor to the Jesuit College St. Salvator, which existed from 1582 to 1807 . The king handed the school over to the specially built Benedictine Abbey of St. Stephen in 1835 . Together with the Bavarian state, this became the administrative cost body of a state school - a unique, historically evolved constellation, which is still the cause of many misunderstandings regarding the legal status of the school: the grammar school was legally defined as a school sui generis (its own kind).

At the beginning of the 1990s, St. Stephan was the last all-boys school in Bavaria, although individual girls from the neighboring Maria Ward Gymnasium had been admitted to the courses at the college level since 1978 . By the end of the decade, girls also started school regularly.

Since the year 2000, the administration of material costs has been with the city of Augsburg as the responsible municipality, as the Bavarian School Financing Act provides for state schools. As before, Benedictines from St. Stephan are active as teachers at the school and provide a member of the school management. Since the 2009/10 school year, one of eight Bavarian gifted classes has existed at St. Stephan as the highly gifted base of the administrative district of Swabia .

The legitimate continuation of the school tradition of the Jesuit College St. Salvator is shown in the right to use the grammar school at the Kleiner Goldenen Saal , the only remaining part of the building of the former college. Every year, among other things, the school's concerts in honor of St. Cecilia of Rome take place here, where students perform as soloists and in ensembles (e.g. choir, various orchestras, big bands).
