location
The school is located in Neustädter Feldmark on the Stiftberg near the Marienkirche and the primary school Stiftberg.
Name of the school
The school was named after St. Mathilde , who was born in Enger (today in the Herford district ) in 895 and was educated in the Herford women's monastery , where her grandmother was abbess . In 909 she married the Duke and later German King Heinrich of Saxony , father of Otto I , who later became the first Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire .

history
In 1833 a private girls' school with 26 students was founded. In 1860, this was combined with another private girls' school that had been established in 1855. After a third girls 'school, founded in 1883, was added in 1890 the municipal higher girls' school, which was recognized as a lyceum in 1912 . In 1928 the school was taken over by the Prussian State as the State Upper Lyceum for girls , and in 1939 it was named Queen Mathilde School.
Since 1955 the school has been a modern language grammar school and grammar school for women's education . When the municipalities of North Rhine-Westphalia became the sponsors of the grammar schools in 1974, the school was named Queen Mathilde grammar school for girls and boys in the city of Herford. Co-education has existed since then .

When it was founded, the school moved to the corner of Neuer Markt and Komturstrasse on May 2, 1833, and from 1841 to 1860 the school was located at 4 Brüderstrasse .
