The Karls-Gymnasium Stuttgart is a humanistic high school in the south of Stuttgart. It was named after the third King of Württemberg, Karl I.

The school emerged from the division of the Gymnasium illustrious , which was founded in 1686 and which had become too cramped, in 1881 . In addition to the Karls-Gymnasium, the Eberhard-Ludwigs-Gymnasium was created .

In 1885 the school was able to move from the temporarily used rooms in the " Polytechnikum " in the lower Koenigstrasse and the "Mäntlerschen Haus" in the Stiftstrasse to the school building in the Italian Renaissance style in the Tübinger Strasse. The building was constructed from 1883 to 1885 by the architect Adolf Wolff . Rooms for science, drawing and music as well as a gym are located here. The new ballroom is praised as a highlight. The school building is still in use, only the gym had to make way for a new building, which was inaugurated in 2007. In order to have more space, three floors were also rented in a residential and commercial building on Furtbachstrasse, i.e. in the immediate vicinity of the school building. These rooms are mainly used for teaching the upper level.
